YOGYAKARTA National Strategic Projects (PSN) are a term that is often touted during the administration of President Joko Widodo (Jokowi). PSN started in 2016 or in the first period of Jokowi's administration, to overcome the infrastructure deficit and decline in investment after the global crisis. Well, for those of you who are curious about what PSN is, see the following article.

The National Strategic Project was originally stated in the preparation of the 2015-2019 National Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJMN), which was focused on massive and significant infrastructure development. Infrastructure development and economic support areas are needed to accelerate national economic growth.

In the 2015-2019 RPJMN, it is stated in the direction of basic infrastructure development policies and connectivity. This policy direction is the development of a leading sector, such as the implementation of national drinking water and sanitation synergies, transportation supporting national logistics systems, city road networks, and energy accessibility.

Meanwhile, basic infrastructure and connectivity include electrification ratios, per capita literuk consumption, residences, drinking water access, sanitation, national road development, as well as construction of new roads, toll roads, ports, ferry piers, airports, rail lines, and wide band range.

Quoted from the website of the Financial and Development Supervisory Agency (BPKP), the funding for these projects comes from the government, government and private cooperation, BUMN, and the private sector.

In its implementation, the government classifies projects that fall into the PSN category. To accelerate its realization, President Joko Widodo issued Presidential Decree Number 3 of 2016 concerning the Acceleration of the Implementation of National Strategic Projects.

In this Presidential Regulation, it is explained that the National Strategic Project is a project implemented by the government, regional governments, and/or business entities that have a strategic nature to increase growth and equitable development in order to improve community welfare and regional development.

The projects included in the PSN include:

In the second period of his government, Jokowi issued a new regulation regarding PSN. This rule is contained in Government Regulation of the Republic of Indonesia Number 42 of 2021 concerning Ease of National Strategic Projects.

In the PP, it is stated that PSN focuses on physical and unphysical development which has an important role in increasing economic growth in the community through an approach to regional infrastructure development.

In addition, the National Strategic Project also plays a role in supporting the growth and development of various goods and services industries and creating work space for the wider community to support improving the economy and national welfare.

To accelerate the implementation of PSN, a regulation is needed that provides youth facilities at the planning, preparation, transactions, construction, as well as convenience in the operation and voter of the PSN, including ease in the implementation of procurement of government goods/services.
