JAYAPURA — The Papua Provincial Government is pushing to expand the protection and empowerment of Indigenous Papuan business actors through the replication of the Indigenous Papuan Provider Performance Information System (SIKAP OAP) application to regencies and municipalities across the Land of Papua. This step was marked by a cooperation agreement on the replication of the application with the Kaimana Regency Government.

Papua Governor Matius D. Fakhiri expressed appreciation for Kaimana Regency's commitment as the next region to adopt the system. According to him, strengthening this digital system is important to ensure that government services for OAP business actors are more organized and measurable.

"We express our gratitude to the Kaimana Regency Government. This is a region that has also helped shape me in my leadership journey," Fakhiri said.

He added that the Papua Provincial Government will provide full assistance so that the implementation of the application can run optimally in the region. Kaimana Regency is the second region to adopt SIKAP OAP after Central Papua.

"After Central Papua, now Kaimana Regency. Going forward, we hope this application can be replicated by other regencies and municipalities across the Land of Papua," he said.

Through the use of SIKAP OAP, regional governments are expected to find it easier to map Indigenous Papuan business actors, improve data accuracy, and strengthen policies for Indigenous Papuan -based economic empowerment.

"We have great hope that through the use of this application, Indigenous Papuans can be served optimally by regency and municipal governments," Fakhiri concluded. ***
