Development efforts in Papua have focused on synchronizing government programs through the ‘Eight Jakarta Agreements’. Overseen by the Executive Committee for the Acceleration of Papua Special Autonomy Development, these agreements aim to align various ministries to ensure interventions address specific local needs. The committee has advocated for a policy approach described as ‘Papua Policy that Feels like Papua’ (Kebijakan Papua yang Rasa Papua).

Key planning areas for 2025–2029 include the formation of new autonomous regions, natural resource management, indigenous community involvement, and basic village services. 

In Southwest Papua, the provincial government and the Regional People's Representative Council have moved to discuss eight regional regulation drafts for 2026. These include special regulations focused on the protection and empowerment of Indigenous Papuans and the recognition of customary law communities. Other proposed regulations cover indigenous business empowerment, population management, and regional energy planning. Legislators have emphasized that these drafts require substantive improvements and legal harmonization to incorporate public aspirations.
