The government has also prepared various legal instruments to advance Papua. The legal instruments include Law no. 2 / / 2021 regarding the Second Amendment to Regulation number 21 of 2001 involving Special Autonomy for the Papua Province. In addition, there is also a policy of Presidential Instruction (Inpres) Number / 9 / 2020 about the Acceleration of Welfare Development in Papua.
Another instrument supporting Papua’s progress is Presidential Decree Number 20 of 2020. It explains the Integrated Coordination Team for the Acceleration of Welfare Development in the two Papua provinces. Given the many supporting instruments, it’s time for the government to maximize its implementation correctly and accurately.
Welfare Development in West Papua must lead to the transformation of special autonomy. This plan focuses on five acceleration frameworks – accelerating the development of superior and innovative human resources, accelerating essential infrastructure development, accelerating change and economic development, and accelerating bureaucratic reform.
The implementation of this program will focus on the spirit of siding with indigenous Papuans. By implementing strategic steps, development can be maximized. Papua, which was initially still experiencing developmental backwardness, achieved prosperity. As a result, this creates an advanced, prosperous, peaceful, and dignified Papuan society.
