Papua — Mananwir-Beba Er Ronsumbre, Nehemia Ronsumbre, held a community gathering and government program outreach with dozens of residents of Swapodibo Village, Biak Kota District, Biak Numfor Regency, on Friday (November 14, 2025). The event was attended by religious leaders, traditional leaders, and local residents.
Carrying the theme “Community Gathering and Outreach to Promote Order and Security in Papua,” the event aimed to socialize various government programs while encouraging the community to take an active role in regional development.
Four Priority Programs Presented
During his presentation, Nehemia Ronsumbre highlighted four key government programs that require strong community support, particularly in the areas of food security, health, education, and the economy.
First, the Free Nutritious Meals Program.
This program is designed to ensure that every child receives adequate nutritional intake, especially during school hours.
“The nutritious meals provided aim to support children’s growth, improve their concentration in learning, and prevent stunting and malnutrition,” said Mananwir in a statement received by RRI, Friday (November 14, 2025).
Second, the Free Health Check-Up Program.
This service represents the government’s concrete effort to build a healthier society. Through this program, residents can access medical examinations and receive quicker treatment at no cost.
Third, the Red and White Village Cooperative Program.
This initiative serves as the backbone for strengthening the people’s economy at the village level.
“This program encourages the spirit of mutual cooperation in building an inclusive and fair economic system,” Nehemia explained.
Fourth, the People’s School Program.
This educational initiative is described as a transformative step in Indonesia’s education system. People’s School offers space for teachers and students to learn more creatively, innovate freely, and focus on character building and competency development.
Call to Maintain Security and Order
In addition to socializing government programs, Mananwir-Beba Er Ronsumbre emphasized the importance of maintaining peace and security in Papua. He urged the community to avoid actions that could trigger conflict or harm Swapodibo Village.
“Especially for the people of Swapodibo, avoid drinking on the streets or stealing other people’s belongings. We must live in harmony and uphold the spirit of mutual cooperation,” he said.
Nehemia added that the government remains committed to improving the welfare of the people in Biak Numfor Regency, particularly in Swapodibo Village. Various initiatives have been launched to address the community’s basic needs.
As a form of central government support, the event also included the distribution of basic food packages to Swapodibo residents. The packages consisted of rice, sugar, coffee, tea, and cooking oil.
According to Mananwir-Beba Er Ronsumbre, the distribution of this assistance is concrete proof of the government’s presence among the people of Papua.
“This is the government’s way of helping meet the food needs of those who require support,” he said.
At the end of the event, Mananwir-Beba Er Ronsumbre reaffirmed his full support for government programs and expressed his commitment to continue safeguarding security in Papua, especially in the Biak Numfor area.
