"SIPPP will play an important role in monitoring progress in accelerating Papua's development, starting from planning, budgeting, and implementation to monitoring, evaluation, and control stages," Monoarfa remarked on Friday.
The minister made the statement at the launch of the 2022-2041 Papua Development Acceleration Master Plan (RIPPP) and SIPPP in Sorong City, Southwest Papua, which was monitored virtually from Jakarta.
The information system incorporates the synergy of several financing sources and planning and budgeting.
Specifically, SIPPP is directed to be used to support development planning by the central and regional governments, aligning development planning at the central and regional levels, central government review of regional planning, monitoring, controlling, reporting, and evaluating the implementation of development plans.
The SIPPP, developed by Bappenas, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Home Affairs, and the Vice President's Secretariat, is presented to support the RIPPP 2022-2041.
That means the SIPPP is an integrated information system platform within the RIPPP framework that is connected to other information systems based on the principles of data sharing and interoperability.
Furthermore, the preparation of RIPPP 2022-2041 is a mandate of Law Number 2 of 2021 concerning the second amendment to Law Number 21 of 2001 on special autonomy for Papua Province.
The master plan was prepared along with ministries and institutions, regional governments, and Papuan community leaders as a form of integrated planning between sectors and regions by prioritizing the principles of good financial management.
Currently, RIPPP has been stipulated as Presidential Regulation Number 24 of 2023.
"By launching this document, we can introduce all development actors, including the wider community, to the direction of long-term development in the region we love, the Papua region," the Head of Bappenas remarked.
He also expressed hope that the launch would be an important momentum in encouraging synchronization and harmonization of planning and budgeting, as well as collaboration between the central government, regional government, and other development actors to accelerate development in the Papua region.
In maintaining synergy between development planning documents, various policies in RIPPP have been aligned with the Final Plan for the National Long Term Development Plan (RAPJPN) 2025-2045.
Moreover, Presidential Decree Number 24 of 2023 mandated that the RIPPP 2022-2041 must be incorporated into the Papua Regional Action Plan (RAD) for 2025-2029 in accordance with the 2025-2029 National Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJMN).
"The action plan document for the 2025-2029 period was prepared jointly with ministries, regional governments, Papuan community leaders, and other development actors that will contain priority programs and activities that address the root of development problems in Papua," Monoarfa explained.
He remarked that the action plan emphasizes synchronization of central, regional, and other development actors' planning as well as integration between funding sources.
"This aims to increase the integration of quality and effective planning and budgeting in order to achieve regional development targets," the Bappenas head remarked.

TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The African Swine Fever (ASF) virus has been detected in pigs in Indonesia. Antara reported that the Papuan government, through the local Livestock and Plantation Office, has declared an emergency status for an outbreak affecting pigs in the local area.
The head of the Papua Livestock and Plantation Service, Matheus P. Koibur, said the emergency status was declared after the death rate of pigs increased from February 6 to April 5, when 156 pigs died in Nolokla and Ayapo villages, Sentani district, Jayapura regency.
"The 156 animals showed symptoms of an ASF outbreak that has the potential to spread, therefore emergency disaster measures are needed to prevent its spread in the Papua province region," Koibur said in Jayapura, as quoted by Antara on Thursday, June 6.
Matheus said the authorities were taking the necessary measures to prevent and control the transmission of the ASF outbreak. These include banning the movement of pigs, products and processed goods to and from Jayapura Regency and other areas with ASF, depopulating infected animals, and monitoring cases throughout Papua. The authorities are also providing information on the dangers of ASF, stepping up disinfection on pig farms, and mapping pig farms.
"We are urging pig farm managers who use swill feeding to cook it perfectly. We are also conducting unannounced inspections of pig slaughterhouses, restaurants and eateries that serve processed pork," Koibur said, as reported by Antara on June 6.
Jenny S. Dena, acting head of the Jayapura Regency Plantation and Livestock Service, said dozens of pigs that died in Ayapo village and Nolokla, East Sentani district, had been identified as having ASF. The Jayapura Regency Plantation and Livestock Service has eliminated and buried the infected pigs in the two villages to prevent further spread.
Jenny S. Dena explained that the spread of the African swine flu virus can be transmitted within a radius of 100 meters. "…The disease that caused the death of dozens of pigs in the two villages of Ayapo and Nolokla could affect other livestock if it is not stopped immediately," Jenny said on June 3.
Ban in Nusa Tenggara
Meanwhile, the government of Lembata Regency, East Nusa Tenggara, has imposed a ban on the movement of pigs between sub-districts and villages to prevent the spread of the ASF virus. "There must be no more movement of pigs from within Lewoleba town to districts or villages," said Theresia Making, acting secretary of Lembata's agriculture and food security department, as reported by Antara on June 4.
