PENAJAM NORTH PASER – Minister of Administrative and Bureaucratic Reform (PANRB) Abdullah Azwar Anas attended the Plenary Cabinet Meeting (SKP) in Ibu Kota Nusantara (IKN), Penajam Paser Utara Regency, Monday (12/8).
The Plenary Cabinet Meeting was chaired by President Joko Widodo, and attended by Vice President Ma’ruf Amin, ministers, and heads of agencies from Kabinet Indonesia Maju.
The meeting discussed several things including the sustainability of IKN and the transition of government. Today’s SKP is the first Plenary Cabinet Session to be held at IKN, just before the 79th Indonesian Independence Day on 17 August 2024.
Before attending the meeting, Minister Anas inspected a number of infrastructures in IKN.
On Sunday (11/8), together with Minister of Transportation Budi Karya Sumadi and Minister of Health Budi Gunadi Sadikin, he visited the IKN Government Centre Core Area (KIPP).
In addition, he also visited the residential towers for state civil apparatus (ASN) at IKN. According to the Ministry of Public Works and Housing, the targeted number of towers is 47 residential towers consisting of around 2,820 residential units.
Of the 47 towers, the number of towers that will be occupied for ASN in the initial stage is 29 towers or around 1,740 residential units. The rest will be occupied by the soldiers of Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI) and police officers.
To improve coordination and collaboration between government agencies, in addition to digital support, a new pattern of work is also carried out through the implementation of shared offices.
It means that there will be several government agencies (between related ministries/agencies) in one office building or even the same floor.
This “shared office” scheme prioritizes connectivity between ministries/agencies in the form of physical connectivity (buildings) and digital connectivity supported by a smart office model.
“The shared office concept is carried out to support the transformation of changes in the way of working through flexible working arrangements with informal and digital-based workspaces,” he concluded.
In addition to inspecting the IKN KIPP and ASN residential towers, Minister Anas also accompanied President Jokowi to visit the MBH Retention Basin in the IKN Government Centre Core Area.
This retention basin is one of the environmental sustainability concepts in the development of IKN which functions as a water conservation infrastructure.
After reviewing the embung area, Minister Anas visited the National Axis in the IKN Government Centre Core Area.
Minister Anas also visited the National Axis in the IKN Government Centre Core Area.
The National Axis in KIPP IKN is an open space that symbolizes the harmonious relationship between nature, humans, and noble cultural values.
