South Sulawesi Secretary Optimistic Mappadeceng Will Speed Up Licensing in Maros

South Sulawesi Provincial Secretary Jufri Rahman is optimistic that the Mappadeceng Rapid Response Team will significantly accelerate licensing services in Maros Regency. This innovation was initiated by the local Investment and One-Stop Integrated Services Office (DPMPTSP).

Rahman emphasized that good public services must be fast, accessible, transparent, and fair. He noted that current service innovations cannot rely solely on passive administrative systems. "Through Mappadeceng, licensing services will be faster. This is a transformation of services from previously passive administrative to more active and participatory," Rahman stated during the inauguration of the Mappadeceng Maros Team on Thursday.

Mappadeceng, which stands for "Accelerated Affirmative and Brilliant Licensing Service Model," is a 'door-to-door' public service innovation designed to bring licensing services closer to the community, even down to the sub-district level. With this approach, DPMPTSP Maros officers will directly visit the community and business actors to assist with licensing processes. This program is part of an effort to transform public services to be more accessible, responsive, and adaptive to residents' needs.

Rahman hopes that the ease and speed of these licensing services will stimulate regional economic growth. The positive impact is expected to enhance the investment climate and the legal standing of community businesses. He also hopes this innovation will be sustainable, developed according to needs, and serve as a best practice that can be replicated by other regional agencies.

Nuryadi, head of DPMPTSP Maros and the initiator of Mappadeceng, explained that the program's initial phase will target two sub-districts: Bontoa and Maros Baru. The primary goal is to issue 50 Business Identification Numbers (NIB) for micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs). Maros Regent Chaidir Syam praised the innovation, expressing his hope that Mappadeceng will provide more accessible public services to the community.
