Lampung Apparatus Strengthened to Face Environmental Challenges, KLHS Training Becomes Priority

SOUTH TANGERANG, GARISBUMI.com – The Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLH)/Environmental Control Agency (KLH/Environmental Management Agency (BPLH)) is strengthening the capacity of Lampung Provincial Government officials in dealing with increasingly complex environmental problems. Strategic Environmental Studies (KLHS) training is one of the priority programs in this collaboration.

This commitment is stated in the Cooperation Agreement on Environmental Human Resources Competency Development between the Center for Environmental Human Resources Development (PPSDM LH) and the Regional Human Resources Development Agency (BPSDM) of Lampung Province.

The agreement, which is valid for three years, was signed by the Head of PPSDM LH Mini Farida and the Head of Regional BPSDM Lampung Province M. Alhusnuriski in South Tangerang, Thursday, September 17 2026.

Mini said that ecological problems that continue to grow require competent, adaptive and professional state civil servants and human resources. Therefore, cooperation between the central and regional governments is needed to increase competence in accordance with needs in the field.

"Current environmental management and protection challenges require the readiness of the State Civil Service and human resources to be competent, adaptive and professional. Within this framework, strategic collaboration between the central government and regional governments is the main key," said Mini.

Training Tailored to Lampung's Needs

This collaboration includes KLHS training, provision of learning facilities and infrastructure, as well as various advanced competency development programs in the environmental sector.

SEA is an important instrument for ensuring that sustainable development principles are integrated into local government policies, plans and programs. Therefore, the ability of the apparatus to prepare and implement KLHS influences the quality of development planning in Lampung.

In its implementation, PPSDM LH is tasked with preparing curriculum standards, learning modules and competent teaching staff. Meanwhile, the Regional BPSDM of Lampung Province provides supporting facilities and supports program implementation in the region.

"We want to ensure that competency development can be carried out more effectively and efficiently, by optimizing the resources we have together," said Mini.

According to him, it is hoped that implementing training that is closer to the regions can answer local needs while reducing the gap in apparatus competency.

"In this way, training programs can be closer to regional needs, while also helping to reduce existing competency gaps," he continued.

Expected to Improve Environmental Governance

Head of Regional BPSDM Lampung Province M. Alhusnuriski welcomed this collaboration. It is hoped that this cross-agency collaboration can produce programs that suit the characteristics and challenges of the environment in Lampung.

The competency development program is also directed at improving the performance of the apparatus while strengthening sustainable regional government governance.

After signing the cooperation, PPSDM LH and BPSDM Lampung will follow up through training and competency development programs. This step is expected to produce professional apparatus capable of translating environmental policies into concrete actions in the regions.
