Abstract
This essay is a research on President SBY's policy on acceleration of development in the provinces of Papua and West Papua as stated in Presidential regulation No. 66/2011, which regulated the existence and function of the unit for acceleration of development in Papua and West Papua (UP4B), and its implementation and further follow-up. The qualitative method reveals in its conclusions that amid complex-problems the provinces facing, working contributions of UP4B has been seen in the both provinces, particularly by native Papuan in the last two years of its existence. This essay recommends that UP4B should be further supported, especially in its role in giving assistances and capacity building in helping the provinces in forming clean, transparent, and accountable governance.
