New era of the national economy

Samarinda, 1/4/15. The direction of national development policies is more based on the added value of technology and the added value of the downstream of the industry.

To show priority in the way of change to Indonesia which is sovereign politically, independently in the economic field, and personality in culture, nine priority agendas are formulated. The nine priority agendas are called Nawa Cita, namely: (1) bringing back the country to protect all nations and give a sense of security to all citizens; (2) building governance that is clean, effective, democratic and reliable; (3) building Indonesia from the periphery by strengthening regions and villages within the framework of the unitary state; (4) Strengthening the presence of the state in reforming systems and law enforcement that is free of corruption, dignified and trusted; (5) Improving the quality of life of humans and Indonesian society; (6) increase people's productivity and competitiveness in the international market; (7) realizing economic independence by moving the strategic sectors of the domestic economy; (8) carry out a revolution of national character; and (9) strengthen diversity and strengthen social restoration. Various priority development agendas are intended for a better Indonesia.

The national development strategy outlines development norms aimed at improving the quality of life of humans and society; creating sustainable economic growth that does not cause widening of development inequality; and carry out development without reducing the carrying capacity of the environment and disturbing the balance of the ecosystem. For this reason, the implementation of development is carried out through 3 (three) dimensions of development, namely first, the dimensions of human and community development through education, health, housing and mentality; Second is the development of the leading sector with the priority of food sovereignty, energy sovereignty, maritime and marine and tourism and industry; and the third is the dimensions of equity and regional. For this reason, stable social, political, legal, and security conditions are needed as a prerequisite for quality development. By considering the main challenges, policy directions, and development targets 2015-2019, the 2016 RKP theme Draft is "Specifying Infrastructure Development to Lay a Quality Development Foundation".

The design of the RKP theme emphasized that one of the main problems that hamper the acceleration of investment realization at this time is the limitations of infrastructure, including electricity supply. Fulfillment of the availability of infrastructure is one of the main prerequisites that must be carried out in quality development aimed at developing people and society, which is inclusive and based, and may not widen inequality between groups and between regions. Development activities must not damage, reduce the carrying capacity of the environment and the balance of ecosystems in an effort to produce growth, and sustainable welfare. Infrastructure development is needed, especially to support the priority agenda of food sovereignty, energy sovereignty, maritime, tourism and industry with the target of broad social groups and targets of regional targets that pay attention to the equity of
in 2016, so that the economic contribution to the Kalmantan and national regions increases, increase then the province of East Kalimantan is expected to grow by 5.6 percent. Meanwhile, high growth can reduce poverty to 4.7 percent. While the open unemployment rate can be reduced to 8.0 percent.

In an effort to achieve various development targets in the Province of East Kalimantan, it is necessary to align between national development planning and regions both in the medium and annual term development plan. Alignment is adjusted to the conditions, potentials and characteristics of the regions that are adjusted to the division of government affairs between the government, the provincial government and district/city governments are determined based on statutory regulations.

To realize the harmony between the RPJMD and the 2015-2019 RPJMN for the provinces, districts and cities, a joint regulation will be prepared which aims to achieve the national development priority targets stipulated in the 2015-2019 RPJMN that require support from the Regional Governments both provincial and district /City in the period 2015-2019 can be achieved.

harmony is realized in several ways. First, strategies and direction of the regional medium-term development policies that are in harmony with the main targets and development strategies outlined in the general national development policy, macroeconomic framework, as well as the policy direction and strategy of each national development agenda (Nawa Cita) as stated in the book I RPJMN 2015-2019. Second, general policies and regional medium-term development programs that are in line with the achievement of the target of development plans as stated in the 2015-2019 RPJMN Book II; and third, the achievement of the target of the Regional Medium-Term Development Program which is in line with the achievement of targets and direction of regional development as listed in the 2015-2019 RPJMN 2015.

For the provinces, districts and cities that have set the RPJMD before the 2015-2019 RPJMN was established, the alignment of the RPJMD was carried out in the preparation of the RKPD which was aligned with the RKP starting in 2015 and the following years until the end of the 2015-2019 RPJMN period. Meanwhile, alignment as referred to in paragraph (1) is carried out on priority, targets, program plans and regional development activities with the National Development Agenda (Nawa Cita) in the RKP in the year.
