Ir. Racmat Mardiana, MA delivered material on the Public Private Partnership (KPS) process. As explained by Mardiana, the reason for several countries adopting PPPs is to improve operations and create new jobs. PPP has two sides, namely the government and the private sector. The regulations that underlie PPPs are PP 27 of 2014 and Presidential Decree 67 of 2013. The purpose of PPPs is to meet funding needs and the effectiveness and efficiency of infrastructure development. There are 4 stages of Cooperation Project Implementation, namely the stages of cooperation project planning, preparation of cooperation projects, cooperation project transactions, and management of implementation of cooperation agreements. There is an institution in charge of cooperation projects called the Collaboration Project Person in Charge (PJPK). The stages of preparing the cooperation project are the stages of the initial pre-feasibility study and the preparation of a readiness study. Management of the Implementation of the Cooperation Agreement is carried out in four periods, namely pre-construction, construction, commercial operation, and the expiration of the cooperation agreement.
Drs. Bob Sagala, M.Si delivered material on procedures for regional cooperation, Regional autonomy is balanced in every regulation but indeed the conditions of each region have different conditions. Cooperation with regions is an innovation in the implementation of autonomy itself. When regions cooperate, it is closely related to various aspects such as law, administration, economy, and others. However, not all regions are ready for this. Regional governments in general are not ready to develop cooperation with the private sector. The government should get to know potential partners from the private sector. The general phenomenon of the weak points of the regional government in KPS is not going through the institutional process, readiness to make technical planning and qualified analysis (HR), the ability to package KPS offers into something attractive to the private sector, still weak in negotiating, still weak in compiling memorandums of agreement, unclear existence of regional government assets and the ability to carry out Binwas. Various problems that exist in the KPS process such as disharmony in various series of regulations related to regional cooperation (a revision of the series of related regulations will be carried out), the still high differences in perception and understanding between stakeholders related to the concept of regional cooperation, the low capacity of regional government officials to organize regional cooperation (from planning to evaluation so that it has the potential to harm the regional government), weak commitment and potentially disruptive political competition.
Dr. Asep Suryadi, SE, M.Si delivered material on the Policy for Management of State Property (BMN), the legal basis for Law no. 1 of 2004 concerning the State Treasury and Government Regulation Number 27 of 2014 concerning Management of State/Regional Property. State/Regional Property 90% originates from the APBN. The use of BMN can be carried out as long as it does not interfere with the implementation of the duties and functions of administering state government and the use of BMN is carried out by taking into account the interests of the state and the public interest. In the event that the Cooperation Project covers BMN with several Property Users, then the Minister/Head of Institution acting as the PJPK submits the proposed implementation of the KSPI to the Property Manager, including in his capacity as the Property User.
