The socialization program was officially opened by Papua Governor’s Expert Staff for Community and Cultural Development, Matias Benoni Mano, S.Par., M.KP, who represented the Governor of Papua.

The activity was part of the provincial government’s efforts to strengthen transparent, accountable, and effective governance that is oriented toward public service. In the Governor’s address, it was emphasized that public information transparency is not merely an administrative service, but a strategic component of government administration.

“Public information management must be positioned as a strategic part of the government system, rather than simply as an administrative matter or a service for processing information requests,” said the Governor of Papua.

The Governor also stressed that information transparency is an important instrument for building public trust in government, while providing opportunities for citizens to understand, monitor, provide input, and participate in development.

On the same occasion, Keerom Regent was represented by Acting Regional Secretary Linus Paseran, who expressed his appreciation to the Papua Provincial Government, particularly the Communication and Informatics Office, for organizing a socialization program for the Public Information and Documentation Management Officers in Arso.

He welcomed the selection of Keerom Regency as the venue for the event and expressed hope that the forum would strengthen the capacity of regional government agencies to manage and provide public information transparently, accurately, and in accordance with applicable regulations, thereby improving the quality of public services.

The event featured speakers from the Head of the Papua Provincial Office of Communication and Informatics, the Ombudsman of the Republic of Indonesia’s Papua Representative Office, and the Information Center of the Ministry of Home Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia.

Participants included Implementing Public Information and Documentation Management Officers, officials and staff from regional government agencies, as well as relevant stakeholders from Keerom Regency and Jayapura City.

Through this socialization program, the Papua Provincial Government is encouraging public information transparency to become part of the working culture within government institutions, so that public information services can become more accessible, faster, higher in quality, and more responsive to the needs of the community.

Strengthening the Public Information and Documentation Management Officers is also expected to support the transformation of governance in Papua through effective and integrated data and information management, while strengthening synergy among the Papua Provincial Government, Keerom Regency Government, Jayapura City Government, and all regional government agencies. ***
