POLICY RECOMMENDATION ON THE ROLES OF PRIVATE SECTORS AND THEIR CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE GOVERNMENT'S DEVELOPMENT AGENDA IN WILAYAH PAPUA

By Fahmi Wibawa

I. INTRODUCTION

Since the beginning of 2020, Indonesia and almost all countries in the world have been facing the Covid-19 pandemic. Concerning with nature of this virus itself continues to grow and sometimes is quite confusing: the symptoms that arise, how it is spread, how to reduce the possibility of exposure, and to how to handle it. New pandemics always raise these various problems so that sometimes it is difficult to immediately handle them properly.

Meanwhile, Wilayah Papua has development agenda that should be conducted timely and properly. The Development Agenda in Wilayah Papua, include (1) Economic Resilience for Quality and Justice; (2) Development Areas to Reduce Inequality; (3) Quality and Competitive Human Resources; (4) Mental Revolution and Cultural Development; (5) Infrastructure for the Economy and Basic Services; (6) Environment, Disaster Resilience and Climate Change; (7) Political, Defense and Security Stability and Transformation of Public Services. Then, for the Local Agenda in the form of (1) Regional Gap; (2) Quality of Life for Indigenous Papuans (OAP); (3) Social Relations, and Conflict. Winning the war with the Covid-19 Virus cannot only be done by the government. Collaboration with the private sector and the general public is needed to be able to solve this pandemic quickly, so that life can go on as before. II. MAIN OBSTACLES OF DEVELOPMENT AGENDA IN WILAYAH PAPUA In general, there are some obstacles in Wilayah Papua which should be resolved properly. The National Government and Regional Governments continue to pursue various policies and programs in order to improve the existence of Wilayah Papua and prosperity the people in Wilayah Papua in welfare sustainability without destroying the natural beauty of Wilayah Papua.

2.1 Economic Vulnerability

The economic growth of a region can be seen from its annual Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP). West Papua Province's GRDP (Gross Regional Domestic Product) in 2015 amounted to IDR 62.89 Trillion and increased to IDR 84.35 Trillion in 2019. Meanwhile, the Papua Province’s GRDP in 2015 amounted to IDR 150.31 trillion and in 2019 increased to 189.71 trillion. In 2019, West Papua Province's GRDP came from Public Consumption of 29%, followed by Net Export at 26%, Gross Fixed Capital Formation of 22%, Government Expenditure 20%, and finally Changes in Inventory and Spending by Non-Profit Institutions that Served Household by 1% each. Then, the largest GDP of Papua Province in 2019 came from Public Consumption of 56%, followed by Gross Fixed Capital Formation of 37%, Government Expenditure of 23%, Spending by Non-Profit Institutions that Served Household at 3%, while Net Exports and Inventory changes experienced minus -17% and -1%, respectively.

Since 2015, the economic growth of West Papua Province has always increased. Likewise with Papua Province even though there was a decline in 2019. If calculated, the GRDP growth of West Papua and Papua Provinces is quite high above the national average growth. The increase in GRDP of West Papua Province in 2015 - 2019 ranged from 6% -11%. Meanwhile, for Papua Province, GDP growth is around 9% - 15%, but in 2019 economic growth has slumped to -10%. Economic independence is needed in order to withstand various obstacles, especially global and national constraints. Therefore, going to economic detention is necessary to maintain economic stability and maintain the survival of all residents of the West Papua Province.

Furthermore, Wilayah Papua is the two provinces with the highest provinces with poverty percentage in Indonesia. West Papua Province has poverty percentage amounted to 21.51% and 26.55% Papua Province is well above the national poverty percentage average of 9.22 %. Wilayah Papua is still a two provinces that has the highest poverty percentage than other provinces. When compared with the percentage of poverty in 2015, in 2019 the percentage of poverty decreased. In 2015, the percentage of poverty in West Papua Province was 25.73% and Papua was 28.40%. The following is the percentage of poverty in West Papua and Papua Provinces, 32 other Provinces, and National in semester 2 of 2019.

The level of open unemployment in Wilayah Papua from August 2015 to February 2019 has decreased. The open unemployment rate in Papua Province in August 2015 was 3.99%, then to 3.42% in February 2019. Moreover, with the presence of Covid-19, it is feared that it will make Wilayah Papua further away from economic stability. At the start of the pandemic, it was projected that 2 million people would get hunger.

2.2 Economic, Health and Education Gaps.

To look at the gap, it can be seen from the GDP contribution Wilayah Papua to national. In 2019, the GRDP contribution of West Papua and Papua Provinces only contributed 0.52% and 1.18%, respectively. Provinces that contributed more than 10% were in Java Island, namely DKI Jakarta 17.67%, West Java 13.22% and East Java 14.63%. It shows GRDP contribution gap is quite far between the three provinces in Java Island compared to Wilayah Papua. The percentage of poverty in Wilayah Papua is the province with the highest percentage in Indonesia. Apart from gaps in terms of economy, Wilayah Papua has various gaps ranging from health services and education. Such as the lack of information about maintaining healthy (regarding nutritional standards) daily, the difficulty of getting sanitary place, and difficulty of to get health facilities and services. The Covid-19 pandemic requires everyone to wash their hands more often in running water with soap, while many people in Wilayah Papua cannot. In the field of education, it is difficult to get adequate educational facilities at a cost that is not burdensome and a lack of teacher welfare. Moreover, with the pandemic, the teaching and learning process has new challenges because it has to learn distance. Some of the obstacles faced are the difficulty of internet signal and the cost of internet which is quite expensive and the large number of students and teachers who do not have the equipment to support the teaching and learning process. Another difficulty faced by students and teachers before the pandemic was the infrastructure to go to their school.

2.3 Quality of Human Resources Needs Improvement

Quality human resources are one of the main assets to increase economic growth and resilience. The quality of human resources can be seen from the Human Development Index. This index is formed by three basic dimensions, namely Life Expectancy (Long Age and Healthy Life), Knowledge (Year of School Expectancy Rate), and Decent Living Standards (Gross National Product per capita). The Human Development Index is an indicator for measuring success in efforts develop quality of human life.

The Human Development Index (HDI) in Wilayah Papua between 2015 and 2019 has increased. West Papua Province in 2015 amounted to 61.73, in 2019 it became 64.7. Papua Province, in 2015 had an HDI level of 57.25, in 2019 it was 60.84. However, when viewed from the HDI ranking, the Provinces of West Papua and Papua are in the 33rd and 34th ranks in 2019. Here are the 5 lowest HDI rankings in 2019:

Source: Central Bureau of Statistics, 2020 Wilayah Papua has many tasks to continuously improve the Human Development Index (HDI) in order to compete with people who are in the top HDI rankings. Therefore, it’s necessary to build infrastructure, increased economic activity, and access to education. Moreover, Covid-19 made many changes in community activities so that it became an additional challenge for the community to continue carrying out activities without causing crowds. Likewise, activities that can improve the quality of the community must also follow the recommendations by the central government during pandemic.

2.4 Sense of Belonging and Fighting Spirit Needs to be Enhanced

Cultural development is aimed at improving the quality of human resources by strengthening the nation's character that is tough, competitive, noble, dynamic, and oriented to science and technology. The development of national culture and character is carried out in a more holistic and integrative through the advancement of culture, character and character education, religious and ethical education, civic education and state defense, increased understanding, practice and appreciation of religious values, increasing the role of the family and society, protection of women and children, as well as increasing literacy culture. Wilayah Papua, with its various ethnic groups, languages, and regional customs, makes these two provinces have many cultures. However, until now they still have armed conflicts occurring in Wilayah Papua where they want to separate from Indonesia. This must be immediately suppressed and reconciled so that Wilayah Papua remains part of Indonesia. Apart from armed conflicts, until now the Special Autonomy Funds provided have not been fully utilized in accordance with their objectives, namely for education and health.

2.5 Limited Infrastructure for the Economy and Basic Services

Infrastructure both physically and non-physically is needed to support economic activities and provide basic services to the people of Wilayah Papua. With adequate infrastructure, economic activities will be easier and especially for transportation costs, will be cheaper. It will have an impact on the more affordable prices of goods, thereby increasing the real income of the community. Meanwhile, non-physical infrastructure such as communication networks and the internet will make it easier for MSME Entrepreneurs to expand their product marketing, so that it will increase income and local MSME products will be more widely known. In addition, infrastructure will also improve the ability of the community to obtain basic services such as health and education services.

The infrastructure required includes (1) access to housing and settlements in the form of a livable house, access to proper sanitation (wastewater) and basic sanitation; (2) Water Resources in the form of Dam, Additional Water Capacity, Irrigation, Rehabilitation of Existing Irrigation ; (3) Transportation Safety and Security Level; (4) Access to 3T Areas , Disaster Prone Areas and Isolated Areas in the form of Papua border roads; (5) Development of Border service, in disaster prone regions, and in the form of Regional Isolated Route Transportation Road, Route Sea Transport, Air Transport Route; (6) Connectivity like Ports, Routes Sea Freight Toll, Airport, and New Toll Road; (7) Energy Electrification like Ratio Electrification, Electricity Consumption, Electricity Generating Capacity; and Information and Communication Technology. .

2.6 Environmental Improvement, Disaster Resilience and Climate Change

Every infrastructure development needs to calculate the capacity of the environment, in this case, the capacity of Wilayah Papua. Natural resource parameters that need to be considered in terms of limitations in development planning include: (a) Primary Forest; (b) Forest on Peat lands; (c) Habitat of Endangered Species; (d) Coastal Areas Affected by Climate Change; (e) Disaster Prone Areas; (f) Water availability; (g) Energy Availability; (h) Emission Level; and (i) Greenhouse Gas Emission Intensity.

The exploitation of natural resources in Wilayah Papua is increasingly threatening the community, animals and forests. The extent of land that is exploited without permission (illegally) makes the natural wealth of Wilayah Papua increasingly eroded without replanting. This illegal activity can accelerate the rate of deforestation in Wilayah Papua. Furthermore, if not controlled immediately, it will cause various disasters such as landslides and extreme climate change due to forest loss. The eternal snow on Puncak Jayawijaya has started to decrease a lot. This temperature increase would be dangerous and could lead to forest fires. Therefore, it is necessary to immediately control and improve the forests that should be protected.

In addition, the increasing development of urban areas and the increasing number of residents in fact creates new problems in the form of increasing the volume of waste. Pollution and environmental damage also increased the impact of the activities of the population, economic, and development.

2.7 Vulnerability of Politics, Law, Defense, Security and Transformation of Public Services

Until now Wilayah Papua has still had various kinds of security vulnerability by armed criminals since 1971. The existence of the Covid-19 Pandemic can cause a sense of trauma from especially vulnerable groups in the Wilayah Papua because they have to reduce activities outside the home, difficulty meeting basic needs, and the existence of armed conflict that has not yet died out.

2.8 Local Issues

Apart from the various obstacles above, the Wilayah Papua also has various local problems such as regional gap, the quality of life for Indigenous Papuans (OAP), and Social Relations and Conflict.

2.8.1 Regional Gap

Regional gap can be seen from the region's Gini Ratio. Based on data from the Central Bureau of Statistics, the Gini Ratio in the Province of Papua in Semester 1 of 2020 was ranked 5th with a Gini ratio value of 0.27, while West Papua Province was ranked 8th with a Gini ratio value of 0.27. The province that had the lowest Gini ratio value in Semester 1 of 2020 was Bangka Belitung Province with a value of 0.18. The gap between West Papua and Papua Provinces and Bangka Belitung Province is 0.08. The arrival of the Covid-19 Pandemic hampered various economic activities and caused many new problems.

Sources: Central Bureau of Statistics, 2020

In addition, another gap is the HDI for Papua, which is very far from other provinces. These two provinces have the lowest HDI scores. The province with the highest HDI score in 2019 was achieved by DKI Jakarta with an IPM of 80.76. The HDI gap between West Papua Province and DKI Jakarta is 16.1, while the HDI gap between Papua Province and DKI Jakarta is 19.9. With the Covid-19 Pandemic, health and education services have been hampered. Vulnerable groups find it more difficult to get health services because of fears of being exposed to the Covid-19 Virus, children are not allowed to study in school because it is dangerous for their health. Even though these two things are the core assessment of the HDI.

2.8.2 Quality of Life of Indigenous Papuans (OAP)

Before Covid-19 Pandemic, Wilayah Papua is still struggling with various other pandemics such as Tuberculosis, Malaria, Leprosy, Leptospirosis, Pneumonia, Diarrhea, and Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF). The emergence of a new pandemic adds to the list of pandemics that Wilayah Papua’s people must face. Furthermore, it is projected that 2 million people will suffer hunger due to lack of rice stocks by the end of the year. In addition, this pandemic has made it difficult for OAPs to get health services and education. Almost all health services focus on the Covid-19 Pandemic. Children are not allowed to go to school because they are afraid that they will be infected with the Covid-19 Virus.

2.8.3 Social Relations and Conflict

Various riots and conflicts that occurred in Wilayah Papua have made social relations between the people of Wilayah Papua and the Government tense. The various riots that have occurred have made many people feel negative about the National Government, which is considered to have created Wilayah Papua. New policies and ways of involving OAP are needed to jointly develop their own regions.

Following is a diagram to summarize various obstacles in Development Agenda in Wilayah Papua:

III. POLICY STRATEGIES AND ROLE OF PRIVATE PARTIES FOR THE WILAYAH PAPUA

The Wilayah Papua Development Agenda requires various parties to work together to achieve its goals. The following are strategies that can be undertaken / contributed by the private sector to the development agenda in the Wilayah Papua.

3.1 Economic Resilience for Quality and Equitable Growth

Until 2019, West Papua and Papua Provinces are still provinces with a fairly low GDP contribution. Not only that, Wilayah Papua is also the province with the highest poverty rate in Indonesia. Economic resilience must be possessed by each region in order to survive of a shock or economic downturn, both nationally and globally. So that people can still maintain their survive in a stable life. The Covid-19 pandemic forces everyone to greatly reduce various activities that can cause crowds, so plant management is one of the best choices to meet needs both during the pandemic and after the pandemic. The Wilayah Papua with its soil fertility and various commodities that can still be developed can be used as capital to improve the community's economy. Some of these commodities are coffee, cocoa, nutmeg, coconut. In addition, Wilayah Papua has a very beautiful nature. This advantage if processed properly can be used as a tourism location. The following are recommendations that the private sector can provide on the development agenda in Wilayah Papua.

The private sector can (1) develop coffee commodities by conducting cultivation and post-harvest training; (2) developing cocoa by conducting cocoa seedlings; (3) developing nutmeg by developing processed nutmeg products in the form of sweets and nutmeg syrup, to be further developed to be processed into nutmeg fat as raw material for cosmetics; (4) developing processed coconut products to be processed into Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO); (5) as well as conducting business training such as collaborating with GARAP (Papuan Entrepreneurial Association) to develop businesses in Papua and conducting database training for SME financial management.

In addition, (1) seaweed programs can also be implemented by promoting the application of cultivation and post-harvest, providing access to markets and a feedback mechanism on quality from industry to farmers that prioritizes fair distribution of profits between various parties (industry, collectors and farmers), facilitate access to finance, provide access to seeds and equipment, and facilitate access to information for environmental impact research; (2) crop protection programs by designing promotional activities, introducing partners to other intervention partners in the region to help penetrate new markets, linking partners with Government Extension Services (PPL & Mantri Tani) in order to accelerate the dissemination of information on cultivation practices and quality chemical products to farmers; (3) the vegetable program by promoting quality agricultural inputs and vegetable extension services (seeds, fertilizers, crop protection, land processing products), disseminating cultivation practices and agricultural information, proposing business expansion projects to strategic areas in Papua Province West and Papua, and facilitate market penetration by forging relationships between market players; and (5) backyard crop program by increasing vegetable production, productivity and quality by facilitating public-private partnerships to promote quality vegetable seeds through Garden Gardens in rural areas, promoting small packages of quality vegetable seeds to increase farmers' access. rural areas to seed, and promoting the use of home gardens using quality vegetable seeds to improve family nutrition and the income of female farmers.

In the tourism sector, the private sector can undertake (1) cooperation with surrounding communities that will be used as tourism locations by building various facilities that needed in the location; (2) building lodging for tourists that has been permitted by the local government; (3) building a location for selling local specialty knick-knacks and local specialties so that people can sell at that location; and (4) provide training in business marketing methods, international languages, and small business financial management. However, this can only be done after the Covid-19 pandemic is over because tourism is one of the sectors most affected by this pandemic.

3.2 Regional Development to Reduce Inequality

The gap that Wilayah Papua has compared to other provinces is the contribution of GDP from GRDP of the Wilayah Papua which is very far from the three provinces with the largest contribution to GDP. It is feared that the Covid-19 pandemic will have various bad effects for everyone. Fewer activities outside the home mean that crowd-generating activities should be temporarily stopped. For that, especially when this pandemic requires an increase or addition of economic activity, especially green economic activities. Green economic activities can develop various superior commodities in the Wilayah Papua and can increase community income and increase the GRDP of the Wilayah Papua. In the economic sector, the private sector can (1) provide counseling on ways to develop superior commodities in order to increase added value; (2) provide guidance on how to manage business costs in order to streamline costs; and (3) providing capital assistance to farmers to start commodity development businesses.

Another gap faced by the Wilayah Papua is in the health and education sectors. In the health sector, the private sector can (1) provide counseling to maintain distance, wash hands diligently, and maintain health; (2) providing health education such as nutrition standards, maternal and child health, and maintaining personal and environmental hygiene; and (3) providing assistance in the form of adequate sanitation and hand washing places. Then in the education sector, the private sector can provide assistance in the form of borrowing digital devices (computers or cellphones) and free internet connections during the Covid-19 pandemic. For example, by setting up a place that is easily accessible to students to be able to use the tools provided to support distance teaching and learning while still implementing the health protocol recommended by the central government.

3.3 Quality and Competitive Human Resources

Wilayah Papua’s Human Development Index is in the 33rd and 34th rankings. The last HDI rankings are in Indonesian Provinces. Various improvements and improvements in services are needed so that the HDI of Wilayah Papua continues to increase and is no longer the province with the final ranking for HDI. The private sector can make contributions such as (1) improving health services by drafting district regulations on the role of villages and districts in health services, conducting assessments related to MSS (Minimum Service Standards) for Health in Wilayah Papua, then training and mentoring district planning and budgeting for achieving MSS (Minimum Service Standards) Health, training and assistance for Public Health Center (Puskesmas) planning and budgeting that are integrated with village planning (including the finalization of the module), conducting reviews and recommendations for improving the Public Health Center (Puskesmas) accreditation assistance system, strengthening the Public Health Center (Puskesmas) Care Agency, providing support for updating data collection (health-related data) in villages and districts, conduct training and mentoring village cadres to encourage village involvement in improving services, as well as support the use of village data for health planning at Public Health Center (Puskesmas) and villages; and (2) improving education services by drafting district regulations on the role of villages and districts in education services, reviewing education related MSS (Minimum Service Standards), conducting training and mentoring district planning and budgeting to achieve MSS (Minimum Service Standards) for Education (including e planning), providing assistance in school planning and budgeting (including finalizing the module and establishing monitoring instruments for planning and budgeting management of school activities), training in school financial management, providing assistance to school principals regarding supervisory functions in schools according to the principal's main duties, updating data collection (related data village and district education), training and mentoring for village heads to encourage involvement of villages in improving education services, utilization of village data for education planning in schools and villages, training and assistance for community revitalization. school committee, and basic education innovations.

Regional government cooperation with private parties can increase community opportunities in health and education. Improvements from various sides, both in terms of facilities, services, and management are needed. With the increase in the quality of human resources, people in the Wilayah Papua will be able to compete with people from other provinces.

3.4 Fighting Spirit and Cultural Development

Each region in Wilayah Papua has various kinds of ethnicities, languages, and customs of their respective regions. However, until now Wilayah Papua is still in armed conflict, where many parties want Wilayah Papua to separate from Indonesia. This must be immediately suppressed so as not to cause many casualties and other losses. Private parties can provide counseling and a persuasive by family approach to local residents so they are not provoked by an invitation to separate from Indonesia.

In addition, the use of the Special Autonomy Fund, which until now has not been entirely used for education and health, is expected to be used according to its purpose. The private sector can provide guidance regarding how to manage the Regional Autonomy Fund so that it is right on target. This will improve the standard of living of the people in the Wilayah Papua and improve the quality of competitive human resources in the future.

3.5 Infrastructure Development for the Economy and Basic Services

The development of infrastructure dedicates as capital to increase economic activities and basic services such as health and education. The role of the private sector is needed to build infrastructure in Wilayah Papua. This collaboration can be in the form of a Public Private Partnership (PPP). Various developments/investments that can be carried out are road construction, construction of irrigation reservoirs and irrigation networks, and development of national connectivity and transportation. These various developments can be carried out together to achieve the economic sustainability of Wilayah Papua.

3.6 Environment, Disaster Resilience and Climate Change

The Wilayah Papua has a wide variety of natural resources, starting from forests, mountains, soil fertility, earth's gold wealth, and various other wealth. Various collaborations with the private sector are needed to jointly protect the Wilayah Papua. The private sector together with local governments can encourage the community to replant forests that can still be planted (forest and land rehabilitation). If the land is deemed unsustainable, the private sector can change the land allotment into various new tourism locations. For this, the transportation infrastructure that is already available must also be seen and the possibility of natural disasters such as landslides that may occur.

On the problem of waste, the private sector can contribute to waste management such as counseling on the distribution of types of waste to make it easier to manage, turning plastic waste into objects of economic value by empowering people to make various crafts, and helping to manage businesses from plastic waste and how to market it.

3.7 Politic, Law, Defense, and Security Stability and Public Service Transformation

The armed criminal in Wilayah Papua has been happening on for a long time. This must be immediately suppressed in order to achieve peace in Wilayah Papua. Cooperation of various parties must be carried out immediately. The National Government and Regional Governments must change the image of the TNI and Polri to become more “friendly” with the local population, especially OAP. Then, the government and the private sector can jointly find a "win- win solution" with the local tribal leaders in order to get what is expected together.

3.8 Local Agenda

In addition to the development agenda above, the National Government has various local agendas for the welfare of the people in the Wilayah Papua.

3.8.1 Regional Gap

Regional disparities that occur in the Wilayah Papua consist of economic, education and health gap. The National Government has carried out various policies and programs to improve the economy of the Wilayah Papua, namely by the presence of KEK (Special Economic Zones), Free Trade and Free Port Zones (KPBPB), Industrial Zones, and Tourism Strategic Areas. The private sector can contribute to the Tourism Strategic Area Program by inviting OAP to jointly build various facilities and services needed. Furthermore, the private sector can guide OAP in how to manage local tourism businesses in sustainability both from the management and from the financial management side. The private sector can also become an investor to be able to continue to monitor the development of tourism locations that have been built. However, this seems to be possible only after the pandemic has ended.

Another program that can be carried out by the private sector is to use the internet network to market local products typical of the Wilayah Papua to other provinces. This program can be implemented in areas that are already covered by an internet connection.

3.8.2 Quality of Life of OAP

The Covid-19 pandemic adds to the list of pandemics that OAP must face. Wilayah Papua has yet to grapple with another pandemic which has yet to be conquered. The private sector can contribute by providing their own lab to speed up getting the results of the swab test. In addition, the private sector can also help the government to promote the habit of washing hands more frequently and maintaining distance and wearing masks when forced to do activities outside the home. They can also provide hand washing facilities in various easy-to-reach places, provide cloth masks, and hand sanitizers.

Furthermore, it is projected that as many as 2 million people will get hunger due to lack of rice supplies. The private sector can contribute to providing basic needs through their CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) Program. In addition, shipping cost discount can be given to suppliers of basic necessities to keep the prices of goods in the market from soaring.

Health services that are concentrated in the Covid-19 Pandemic are also not free from problems. It is increasingly difficult for vulnerable groups to access health services. A hospital that can accommodate another pandemic is needed so that no souls are left in vain. In addition, children and teachers can be provided with assistance in the form of access to a computer or mobile phone connected to the internet with an affordable cost or even free of charge to ease the burden. Children and teachers can still carry out their learning-teaching in the midst of a pandemic.

3.8.3 Social Relations and Conflict

OAP must be continuously involved in developing their own regions. In Particular, OAP needs more opportunity to gain a place in politics and economics on a national scale, so that the sense of belonging to Indonesia will grow and rooted. The improvement of social relations must be repaired immediately and is expected to be able to reduce the sense of different treatment with other regions. The private sector can contribute by involving more OAPs to develop local tourism, make various local handicrafts with economic value, and be guided to manage local tourism.

Here below is a diagram that summarizes the private sector’s contribution in Development Agenda in Wilayah Papua:

IV. CONCLUSION

The Covid-19 pandemic attacks all parties without exception. Various socio-economic- cultural activities are disrupted. However, the Development Agenda in the Wilayah Papua cannot wait. The development obstacles that have been described above do illustrate that these problems are complex, multidimensional and multisectoral. It takes a long time to be able to solve the various problems timely and properly.

It takes cooperation from all parties (National Government, Provincial Government, Local Government, Private Sector, Development Partners and Society) so that this pandemic can be handled immediately and development agenda can continue while still paying attention to government recommendations. The government various development agendas need assistance from other parties including the private sector. Their contributions are welcome and appreciate in accelerating the implementation of the planned development agenda.
