Relationships Between Documents

The RPJMD is an elaboration of the vision, mission and program of the elected regional head. Apart from that, the RPJMD is a medium-term development plan (5 years) which is not only an elaboration of long-term planning (RPJPD), but will also be a reference for sectoral and regional planning for all lines of government in carrying out their duties, principal and functions. The RPJMD is part of the regional development planning system at the provincial level as part of the national development planning system, including the regional development planning system at the district/city level.

Apart from being based on the 2005-2025 Samarinda City RPJMN and RPJPD documents, the 2016-2021 Samarinda City RPJMD must also refer to the National RTRW and Provincial RTRW documents. This aims to align regional development planning with central government development planning so that the RPJMD becomes a synergistic and integrated document.

Relationship Between RPJMD and RPJPD Samarinda City

The 2016-2021 Samarinda City RPJMD is the elaboration and implementation of the policy direction and main targets of the Samarinda City RPJPD 2005-2025 in the third phase. The 2016-2021 Samarinda City RPJMD is a continuation of the 2011-2015 RPJMD which has been implemented, evaluated and reported by the Mayor. Substantively, the contents of the 2016-2021 Samarinda City RPJMD are advanced planning in order to achieve the conditions of Samarinda City in 2025 as stated in the vision of the Samarinda City RPJPD.

Relationship Between RPJMD and Samarinda City SKPD Strategic Plan

The SKPD Strategic Plan is a sectoral planning document that cannot be separated from the RPJMD, because The RPJMD is a reference for the SKPD strategic plan. The RPJMD targets and priority programs will be achieved through SKPD Strategic Plan programs/activities over the next five years. The implementation of the Samarinda City RPJMD is outlined in the Strategic Plan of each SKPD according to its duties and functions. The Mayor is responsible for achieving the RPJMD targets, while the SKPD Head is responsible for achieving the SKPD strategic plan targets which must be accounted for every year and at the end of the term of office. Here, the success of the SKPD head in achieving the impact and outcome performance targets in the SKPD Strategic Plan will directly and indirectly influence the achievement of the Mayor's vision and mission which has been outlined in the RPJMD.

Relationship Between RPJMD and Regional Government Work Plans (RKPD)

The RPJMD is explained year after year through the RKPD. The annual targets and policy direction of the RPJMD must be guided in determining each year's development priorities and targets in the RKPD. The regional development program, which is actually the Mayor's priority program in achieving the vision and mission of the RPJMD, must be mapped well and specifically from one RKPD to the next RKPD. SKPD prepares annual priority programs and activities in the SKPD Renja. In the context of synergy and synchronization between the RPJMD, RKPD and Renja SKPD, every year a RKPD musrenbang is held for the purpose of sharpening, aligning, clarifying and agreeing between the Mayor and stakeholders.

Relationship Between RPJMD and RTRW Samarinda City

Implementation of the RPJMD is based on a design Samarinda City RTRW 2014-2034, both from the policy and operational aspects and its alignment with development program plans to ensure the continuity and carrying capacity of the environment in Samarinda City. In other words, the sectoral development approach must be implemented in harmony and balance with the regional development approach. A development with a regional dimension also pays attention to the importance of development in a selected or strategic area based on planning, control and evaluation of integrated development programs that pay attention to conditions and potential as well as space utilization in accordance with the authority of the regional government. The Samarinda City regional development strategy and policy in the RPJMD is an inseparable part of the RTRW.

Relationship Between RPJMD and RPJMN

The RPJMD must also guide the RPJMN at least for synergy and synchronization of performance architecture at both the impact and outcome levels of national and regional development. At the impact level, performance indicators for RPJMD targets must pay attention to what is to be achieved in the RPJMN targets. At the outcome level, regional development priorities must pay attention to national development issues and strategies to synchronize policies. In the event that the RPJMN period ends immediately when the RPJMD is prepared, the policy direction in the next period's RPJPN becomes the reference source.
