Republika highlights the evolving development strategy in Depok City, moving towards a model of cross-sectoral synergy. As emphasized by Pradi Supriatna, Chairman of the Gerindra Party's Depok branch and a member of the West Java Provincial DPRD, the city's progress is no longer solely reliant on the Regional Budget (APBD). Instead, a robust collaboration between the city government, provincial authorities, and the private sector has become the cornerstone for accelerating development and ensuring its benefits reach the wider community.
Development in Depok City is no longer solely dependent on the Regional Revenue and Expenditure Budget (APBD). Synergy between the city government, provincial government, and the private sector is now key in driving accelerated development and expanding benefits for the community.
This collaborative spirit was evident during the 27th anniversary of Depok City, where various stakeholders, including regional leaders, community figures, and private sector representatives, gathered. Pradi noted this strong attendance as a testament to the shared commitment and robust teamwork dedicated to Depok's advancement. He further commended the Depok City Government's current development policies for their inclusivity, citing programs that directly address community needs such as enhancing public spaces, organizing "car free day" events, improving healthcare services, and strengthening education through initiatives like free private schools.
It is seen that almost all stakeholders were present. This shows that the spirit of cooperation in building Depok is truly strong.
The synergy between different sectors is proving instrumental in expediting projects and amplifying their impact. Support from the provincial APBD, combined with private sector involvement, is enabling faster progress and wider community benefit. Examples of strategic projects include road infrastructure development, underpasses, and community-based waste management systems, alongside housing assistance programs for the underprivileged. Pradi expressed optimism that maintaining this spirit of collaboration will further solidify Depok's development trajectory, ensuring that its growth continues to serve the broader public interest.
Some programs are supported by the provincial APBD, while others involve the private sector. This makes development proceed faster and its benefits are increasingly felt.
