Digital transformation in governance demands that the Civil State Apparatus (ASN) possess adaptive and technology-based competencies. This condition presents a particular challenge for island regions like Biak Numfor Regency, which face infrastructure limitations and geographical barriers. This study aims to: (1) analyze the actual digital competency conditions of ASN at the Education and Culture Office of Biak Numfor Regency; (2) identify supporting and inhibiting factors in digital competency development; and (3) formulate effective, adaptive, and contextual strategies. Using a descriptive qualitative approach with data collected via in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation, the study reveals that digital competency remains inadequate. A significant gap exists between Baby Boomers/Gen X (57% of total ASN) and Millennials/Gen Z, with only 22% having attended IT training in the last three years. Based on SWOT analysis, 16 alternative strategies and 6 core priorities were formulated, including competency mapping, cross-generational on-the-job training, and tripartite LMS cooperation, divided into short, medium, and long-term action plans tailored for Papua's island logistics.
