Jakarta (ANTARA) - The State Administration Institution (LAN) has urged regional governments to synchronize the regional regulation (perda) and regional head regulation (perkada) in accordance with Law No. 11 of 2020 on Job Creation.

Regional governments, in their attempt to harmonize perda and perkada, are experiencing an issue in the form of limitation of quantity and competency of human resource in the law department, LAN head Adi Suryanto said in a statement received here on Saturday.

Regional governments should strengthen human resources in the law department through the recruitment process or the development of existing competency to realize the harmonization process, he added.

The central government should also promptly publish the technical regulation as Job Creation Law's derivation to act as a guide for regional governments in sorting out perda and perkada, he said.

LAN has designed the MAVA -- mapping, analysis, validation, and agenda -- method as an instrument to synchronize regional regulations with the Job Creation Law, he added.

"The method was designed by considering the problems experienced by regional governments and can hopefully help them to establish an investment and entrepreneurship ecosystem," Suryanto explained.

LAN has conducted studies in Jakarta, Bali, West Nusa Tenggara, South Kalimantan, and South Sumatra provinces on the synchronization of perda and perkada with the Job Creation Law, he informed.

Data for the study was collected online through focused group discussions (FGD) and documentation study of review journals, regional government research, and regional regulations, he added.

The Job Creation Law was ratified with the hope of attracting investment as well as streamlining the business licensing procedure, Suryanto said.

According to Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs, Airlangga Hartarto, the law has been acknowledged by the World Bank as Indonesia's most positive reform program in the last four decades.
