Financial inclusion has increasingly been positioned as a strategic instrument for accelerating poverty reduction, particularly in geographically isolated regions where formal financial access remains limited. This study examines the relationship between financial inclusion and poverty in Lanny Jaya Regency, Papua Highlands, during the period January 2022–December 2023. Using a mixed-methods design, monthly secondary data (N = 24) on poverty rate, bank account ownership, availability of banking service points, electronic money usage, and financial literacy were analyzed using descriptive statistics and simple linear regression, complemented by qualitative field observations and interviews. The results show a consistent decline in the poverty rate from 28.5% to 22.8% alongside significant improvements in financial inclusion indicators: account ownership (32.1%→46.5%), banking outlets (4→10 units), e-money users (8.3%→19%), and financial literacy (55.2%→66%). Regression analysis confirms a strong and statistically significant negative relationship between financial inclusion and poverty (β = –0.518; R² = 0.998; p < 0.001). The findings demonstrate that enhanced access and utilization of formal financial services contribute to poverty reduction, although structural barriers such as geographical isolation, low digital readiness, and product–user mismatch persist. Policy implications emphasize expanding last-mile financial infrastructure, context-specific credit products, and community-based financial literacy programs.

Economic growth is often perceived as a driving force of development; however, it can simultaneously lead to widening income inequality, particularly in resource-dependent regions. This study investigates the effect of economic growth on income inequality in the Papua Highlands, Indonesia, during the period 2022–2023. Using secondary data from the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS), the analysis employs a simple linear regression model to examine the relationship between Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth and the Gini coefficient. The findings reveal a positive and statistically significant relationship between economic growth and income inequality, with a regression coefficient of 0.019 and an adjusted R² of 0.817. This indicates that regional economic expansion has contributed to the widening of income disparities across districts in the Papua Highlands. The results confirm the Kuznets hypothesis, which posits that inequality tends to increase in the early stages of economic growth before eventually declining. The study concludes that growth in the Papua Highlands has been concentrated in capital-intensive sectors such as mining and government administration, while local community participation remains limited. It recommends policies focused on equitable resource distribution, sectoral diversification, and inclusive development strategies.

This study examines the socio-economic conditions of fishermen in Lake Sentani, Jayapura Regency, with a focus on challenges and local wisdom-based strategies to improve their welfare. Lake Sentani, as a major natural resource, has great potential in the fisheries and tourism sectors, but fishermen face problems such as resource exploitation, pollution, and limited access to technology. This study used multiple regression analysis. The results show a dependence on traditional fishing, low productivity, and capital and marketing constraints. Factors such as education, experience, capital, and access to facilities significantly influence fishermen's welfare. Existing fisheries policies remain weak in terms of socialization and oversight. To improve welfare, income diversification, technology adoption, and capacity building for fishermen are needed. Local wisdom-based strategies include pollution management, zoning management, business literacy, and the development of environmentally friendly and sustainable local fisheries value chain-based business models. Collaboration between business actors and digital technology is crucial to expanding markets and improving fishermen's welfare.⁠

Large capture-fisheries and aquaculture potential in Papua Province has yet to meet the reality of regional development based on fisheries, due to infrastructure gaps, limited value-added processing, weak institutions, and continuous external risks. This study assesses the regional-based fisheries potential development strategy in Papua Province to increase coastal community welfare without compromising resource sustainability. Secondary data from the period of 2003–2024 are combined with stakeholder inputs from surveys, interviews, and focus group discussions and analyzed by using a SWOT framework supported by IFAS–EFAS weighting to identify strategic priorities. The mean IFAS score revealed that internal strengths (3.27) outweighed weaknesses (1.53), largely attributed to abundant fish resources, emerging fishing/processing technologies, government support, market potential, and local wisdom of coastal areas. Results from EFAS revealed that the mean opportunities (3.16) outweigh threats (1.81), particularly export demand, progress in technology, government programs, and digital marketing prospects, although illegal fishing, overfishing pressures, climate variability, and conflict over fishing grounds remained the key concerns. The position here is in the first quadrant, denoting an area where the fishery can grow well and indicates the need to focus more on Strength-Opportunity (SO) plans involving the optimization of export-directed manufacturing, the enhancement of fish processing facilities to increase value addition to fish, and the use of e-commerce and online marketing, as well as the use of local economic institutions to improve fish distribution, and the development of networks based on local culture to ensure superior processed fish products.

Purpose: This study evaluates the effectiveness of the Special Autonomy Fund Assistance Program in improving the welfare of Indigenous Papuans in the Kwamki Narama District, Mimika Regency, focusing on education, health, and the economy. Method: A descriptive quantitative approach was applied with 100 respondents from 10 villages, selected using the Slovin formula. Data were gathered through Likert-scale questionnaires and in-depth interviews with key stakeholders and analyzed using descriptive statistics to assess welfare improvements. Results: The findings show improvements in education (mean = 3.67) and health (mean = 3.85), reflecting better access to schools, educational support, and healthcare services. However, the economic dimension showed limited progress (mean = 3.13), with minimal impact on job opportunities, income, and household needs. The overall welfare score was 3.55, suggesting a moderately positive perception of the program. Conclusions: The program has effectively enhanced education and health but has not significantly improved economic empowerment of women. Broader strategies are needed to strengthen economic opportunities and achieve sustainable and equitable welfare outcomes. Limitations: The findings rely on perceptions within one district, limiting generalization to other Papuan regions, and do not consider qualitative factors such as cultural or governance dynamics that may affect the outcomes. Contribution: This study contributes empirical evidence to the discussion on regional autonomy, highlighting the partial success of Papua’s Special Autonomy Fund and the need for policy adjustments to better integrate economic empowerment and social development.

Purpose: This study aims to examine the determinants of employee productivity at the Regional Planning and Development Agency (Bappeda) in Mimika Regency. Specifically, it investigates (1) the relationship between salary and employee productivity, (2) the relationship between work relationships and employee productivity, (3) the effect of the work environment on productivity, and (4) the impact of promotion on productivity. Research Methodology: A quantitative method using SEM-PLS correlational analysis was applied. Data were obtained via a Likert-scale questionnaire. The study conducted validity, reliability, and hypothesis testing to assess relationship strength and significance among variables, ensuring robust measurement and accurate evaluation of the proposed research model. Results: The study found salary (X?) negatively influenced productivity, indicating the need to reassess compensation. Work relationships (X?) and environment (X?) positively affected productivity, highlighting collaboration and supportive conditions. Promotion (X?) showed no significant effect, suggesting weaknesses in promotion mechanisms requiring attention to improve organizational motivation and employee outcome. Conclusions: Employee productivity is more strongly influenced by relational and environmental factors than salary and promotion. Therefore, organizational improvements should focus on fostering positive relationships and enhancing the physical and psychological work environments. Limitations: This study was limited to a single regional agency, which may have affected the generalizability of the findings. Additionally, the cross-sectional design does not capture the long-term dynamics. Contribution: This study contributes to the public sector human resource management literature by highlighting the relative importance of workplace relationships and conditions over financial and promotional factors in improving employee productivity.

Purpose: This study aims to analyse the development of human resources (HR) in improving employee performance productivity at the Regional Financial and Asset Management Agency (BPKAD) of Papua Province. Research methodology: This research uses a mixed-method approach: quantitatively through questionnaires distributed to 45 respondents, and qualitatively through in-depth interviews with BPKAD employees. Data were analysed using simple linear regression and supported by SWOT analysis. Results: The study found that HR development significantly influences the improvement of employee performance productivity. The simple linear regression analysis showed that the HR development variable (X) contributed 73.5% to the regional financial performance variable (Y), with a significance value of <0.001. Qualitative data revealed that training and technical guidance are the primary HR development strategies, despite challenges such as budget constraints, limited access to training, and a lack of field-specific experts. Conclusions: Planned HR development supported by training and continuous evaluation improves employee efficiency and accountability. Strategic HR improvement should focus on optimising internal strengths and leveraging external opportunities in a collaborative and sustainable way. Limitations: The study is limited by the small sample size (45 respondents) and potential constraints in qualitative generalisation due to context-specific findings at BPKAD Papua Province. Contribution: This research contributes to the literature on public sector HR development by highlighting the measurable impact of HR strategies on performance outcomes and identifying actionable improvement areas through SWOT-based analysis.
