Nabire, Papua Tengah \u2014 Indonesia\u2019s Minister of Villages, Development of Disadvantaged Regions, and Transmigration (Mendes PDTT), Yandri Susanto, reaffirmed the government\u2019s commitment to strengthening economic independence in Papua\u2019s villages through the Integrated Village Economic Transformation (Tekad) program. He conveyed this message to the media at the Papua Tengah Governor\u2019s Office yard in Nabire on Tuesday (Aug. 12, 2025).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yandri explained that the Tekad program focuses on community empowerment and mentoring, including the provision of capital assistance, to help villages in Papua utilize local potential. \u201cThis program targets empowerment, mentoring, and capital support in villages by utilizing local resources to supply ingredients for nutritious school meals, in collaboration with MBG and the Merah Putih Village Cooperative,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The minister also stressed the importance of oversight in managing village funds, which he noted are significant in Papua. He highlighted that Papua receives nearly Rp6.3 trillion annually, with Rp1.1 trillion allocated specifically to Papua Tengah. \u201cWe call on regents and all stakeholders to ensure these funds truly benefit the people,\u201d Yandri emphasized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Beyond economic empowerment, village funds are also directed toward improving substandard housing and supporting early childhood education programs. \u201cStep by step, we aim to address housing issues in Papua,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
