Indonesia’s BRAN seeks simple coordination with the land ministry
Indonesia’s National Agrarian Reform Agency (BRAN) wants simple coordination with the Ministry of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/National Land Agency, known as ATR/BPN.
BRAN chief Dedi Prasetyo said the agency should strengthen land reform without adding bureaucracy.
Clear responsibilities would help prevent overlapping work and ensure public concerns are not neglected.
Dedi discussed the agency’s structure and working arrangements with ATR/BPN Deputy Minister Ossy Dermawan and officials in Jakarta.
ATR/BPN is expected to provide technical support and expertise during the institutional transition.
BRAN aims to finish its structure and related rules by the fourth week of October 2026 to prepare for a planned 100-day program starting in November.
Its proposed structure has four deputy areas covering land reform planning, land redistribution and legalisation, conflict resolution, and coordination across sectors.

What people are saying
Prinsipnya, birokrasi harus bekerja untuk rakyat.
Kita perlu memastikan pembagian tugas dan kewenangan masing-masing lembaga jelas, sehingga tidak terjadi tumpang tindih, tidak ada pekerjaan yang dilakukan berulang, dan tidak ada persoalan rakyat yang terabaikan akibat ketidakjelasan tanggung jawab.
