This document analyzes the implementation of the Special Autonomy policy in West Papua
Province, Indonesia, with a focus on its impact on regional revenue and expenditure budget sources. The
authors examine the challenges faced by the West Papua Provincial Government in managing its finances,
including lack of coordination, ineffective supervision, and a lack of public involvement. They explore various
sources of funding for the Regional Revenue and Expenditure Budget, including Regional Original Revenue,
Revenue Sharing Funds, and General Allocation Funds, and provide insights into their management policies
for efficiency and effectiveness. The authors emphasize the importance of the Economic Development Sector
in the efficacy of the policy, given its impact on income growth that contributes to national defense efforts.
The study concludes by recommending practical solutions for improvement in governance and financial
planning.
