Five Subdistricts Named BNPP Priorities as Buol Prepares Development Proposals

Buol (ANTARA) — The Buol Regency Government in Central Sulawesi is preparing development programme proposals for five subdistricts designated as priority areas in the National Border Management Agency (BNPP) of Indonesia’s 2025–2029 document.

Buol Deputy Regent Moh. Nasir Dj. Daimaroto said in Biau on Sunday that the five subdistricts are West Paleleh, Gadung, Bokat, Biau and Karamat.

“The aim is to compile local development needs to be submitted to the National Border Management Agency (BNPP), particularly to support development in border areas and improve public services,” Nasir said.

He said the preparation of the proposals followed the designation of the five subdistricts as priority areas in the BNPP’s 2025–2029 document.

The planned programmes are intended to meet residents’ basic service needs, including education, healthcare, energy, housing facilities and regional connectivity.

Nasir said preparing the proposals would require the involvement of several technical regional government agencies, including the Regional Development Planning Agency (Bappeda), the Education Office, the Health Office, the Public Works and Spatial Planning Office, and agencies responsible for housing, settlements and land affairs.

He urged all relevant agencies to complete and finalise their programme proposals promptly, in line with priority needs, the required format and BNPP provisions.

“All progress in preparing the proposals must be reported regularly, and the process must not be delayed until close to the specified deadline,” he said.

Nasir said each agency would draw up programmes under three main categories: proposals for the 2027–2029 National Priority Work Programme (PKPN); needs relating to national borders and cross-border areas; and local government infrastructure needs for managing national borders and border regions.

He said the programmes needed to be specifically prepared so that the development needs of the five priority subdistricts could be incorporated into central government planning.

“We hope the development needs of border areas can be accommodated in central government planning to promote more equitable development and improve residents’ welfare,” Nasir said.
