THE MINISTRY of National Development Planning/National Development Planning Agency (Ministry of National Development Planning/Bappenas) has awarded the 2024 Regional Development Awards (PPD) to regions that have succeeded in achieving the best results in the preparation, implementation and innovation of development planning.
At the 2024 National Development Planning Conference (Musrenbangnas) at the Jakarta Convention Center on Monday (6/5), Minister of National Development Planning/Head of Bappenas Suharso Monoarfa said that the award was given as a form of motivation and appreciation to regional governments who have played an active role in regional development.
The 2024 PPD winners were selected through a comprehensive and creative evaluation of regional development planning. This award aims to encourage local governments to develop plans that are more consistent, comprehensive, measurable and implementable, as well as to increase synergy between central and regional planning.
Apart from that, the Ministry of National Development Planning/Bappenas is also holding the 2024 Regional Development Expo, an exhibition showcasing regional development innovations from all over Indonesia. It is hoped that PPD 2024 and Development Expo 2024 can become a collaborative platform for regional governments to introduce innovation and regional excellence in planning and to find solutions to overcome development challenges.
