The Governor of East Kalimantan in his written remarks said on behalf of the Provincial Government of East Kalimantan, expressed his highest gratitude and appreciation for the presence of brothers and sisters at the Bappeda Coordination Meeting in East Kalimantan, especially the Deputy for Regional Development and Regional Autonomy of the Ministry of National Development Planning/Bappenas who were pleased and the Tarakan City Government had helped facilitate the implementation of this coordination meeting.

Implementation of Bappeda Coordination Meeting in East Kalimantan is an important and strategic agenda in the framework of the process of preparing the RKPD of East Kalimantan Province and Regency/City in East Kalimantan in 2014.

With this Coordination Meeting, it is hoped that problems, strategic issues and priority programs of provincial and district/city governments that are synergistic and harmonious for the development of East Kalimantan that are just and sustainable for merely to improve the quality of life and welfare of the people.

As we all know, that the Provincial Government of East Kalimantan has established a regional long -term development plan from 2005 to 2025 which has been elaborated in detail in the five -year development stage (RPJMD) of East Kalimantan Province.

2013 is the fifth year or the last year of the implementation of the RPJMD Phase II (2009-2013). Development Plan in 2014, is the transition period and the first year of implementation of the RPJMD phase III in 2014-2018 which will be prepared by the elected regional head.

The preparation of the 2014 Regional Development Work Plan, according to Permendagri 54 of 2010, still uses the RPJMD in 2009-2013 as a guideline in order to complete the targets that have not been handled.

Performance of 4 years of development implementation in 2009 - 2012 and estimated achievements in 2013 must be a material for analysis to formulate strategic problems and issues which in turn will be the basis in establishing the 2014 East Kalimantan development priority programs, taking into account the 2014 National Development Targets.

In accordance with the RPJMD of the Province of East Kalimantan in 2013 Open work or unemployment decreases at 7.42%, poverty rate 7%.

We are grateful that after 4 years we work hard a number of success and targets for the development of East Kalimantan 2013 can be achieved. This can be seen with an increase in the position of Rp. 285.59 trillion in 2009 to Rp. 419.10 trillion.

Economic growth in 2012 reached 3.98%. The number of poor population in 2012 reached 6.68% has exceeded the 2013 RPJMD target. The unemployment rate decreased from the position of 10.83% in 2009 now in 2012 to 8.90%, but it is still far from the target of 7.42% in 2013. Likewise, investment and export performance has increased.

Likewise in the field of bureaucratic reform, government performance has become better. This is evidenced by the receipt of the Government Performance Accountability Award for four years in a row from 2009 to 2012. The financial management of the Provincial Government has received WDP opinions in 2010 and 2011. We hope that BPK's opinion in 2012 will increase its status to WTP.

As for the procurement of goods and services, the Provincial Government of East Kalimantan has used e-procurement. In addition, public services are even more quality in the tax service sector, hospital, education, population administration (e-KTP), libraries, staffing and other public services.

Overall there has been an improvement in the quality of life and welfare of the people in East Kalimantan marked by the increasing HDI and in 2012 is 76.22 which is ranked 5th nationally.

In relation to the preparation of the 2014 Regional Government Work Draft (RKPD), the coordination meeting is necessary to pay serious attention to efforts to formulate development priority programs in accordance with the 2014 RKPD theme plan, namely "Strengthening the Economic Competitiveness of Renewable Economic Resources is supported by improving the management of apparatus resource resources".

In accordance with the vision of East Kalimantan Bangkit 2013 which made 2013 the momentum of economic transformation towards renewable natural resources through the development of industrial areas such as the Kariangau Industrial Estate, the Industrial Estate and Maloy International Port and the Maritime Tourism Industrial Port on Derawan Island and its surroundings, the Food Estate Industrial Estate in the Delta Kayan Bulungan and the strategic development area of ​​the border area with the Green Belt program which was prioritized in the plantation sector. Therefore, development priority programs in 2014 need to be more directed at infrastructure development and development of production centers by utilizing the potential of renewable natural resources; such as agriculture, plantations, fisheries, tourism and creative economy sectors as well as other people's economic sectors that support the realization of the development of these industrial areas.

The development of production and infrastructure centers that support it in the rural area, not only to supply the needs of raw materials for the industrial area but at the same time be able to open and absorb labor so that the problem of unemployment is still high in East Kalimantan can be resolved. Strengthening the economic competitiveness, needs to be accompanied by improving the quality of public services through improving professional apparatus resource management.

Efforts to formulate quality development planning through the determination of clear priority programs and focus on measurable targets and the right locus will be meaningless, if not accompanied by efforts to supervise and discipline in the realization of regional expenditure.

Based on the evaluation of the Provincial Government Budget Evaluation and Supervision Team (TepPA), from the 2012 East Kalimantan Province APBD worth Rp. 13,137 trillion absorbed until 31 December 2012 amounting to Rp.11.31 trillion or 86.14%. Meanwhile, based on the evaluation of the Presidential Work Unit for the Division of Development Supervision and Control (UKP4), the provincial and district/city SILPA Aggregate of East Kalimantan is in the first position of the highest Silpa from 33 provinces throughout Indonesia, reaching Rp. 6.28 trillion. Of the total silpa Rp. 4.78 trillion (76.11%) comes from the Regency/City APBD SILPA.

Seeing so much impact due to the low realization of budget absorption on community life and regional economy, it becomes compulsory for us to control and supervise the acceleration of the absorption of budget realization.

In accordance with the directives of the President of the Republic of Indonesia, through the UKP4/TEPPA Central assign to the Governor as the Deputy of the Central Government in the regions to supervise the Regency/City TEPPA starting in 2013. Therefore, on the occasion of this coordination meeting will be utilized for the socialization of the importance of TEPPA at the same time the TEPPA will be carried out in the context of reporting the Realization of the Regency/City APBD.

In the end of the East Kalimantan Governor said that this coordination meeting will be realized an agreement to indicate the 2014 development priority program between the Provincial Government and the Regency/City Government, to move together with the spirit of building East Kalimantan for all in order to realize the prosperous East Kalimantan community.
