The Institutional Arrangement of Special Autonomy Fund Management of Papua Province

Abstract

Institutional arrangement of special autonomy fund management is essential for the sake of the management of the fund to be more adaptable and acceptable to the changes and developments it faces. The institutional arrangement is needed for better and professional fund management. The urgency of it is to simplify special autonomy fund management by special institutions in order to improve and develop the fund management to be more autonomous, transparent, accountable, short hierarchy, decentralized and more professional. The facts show that there is no special institution to manage Papua Special Autonomy fund management starting from planning, preparation, stipulation, implementation, and supervision of budget. The distribution of special autonomy funds is also not shared proportionally and equitably based on the location of the regencies, as stipulated in the Law No. 21 of 2001 concerning Special Autonomy for Papua Province.
