Desain Model Kolaborasi Kelembagaan Ekonomi Kawasan Transmigrasi Weri-Saharey

Abstract

The Weri–Saharey Transmigration Area in East Fakfak holds significant agro-maritime potential through nutmeg, banana, chili, vegetables, and small-scale fisheries. However, local economic development remains constrained by geographical isolation, high logistics costs, and weak institutional capacity. This community engagement program aims to design a collaborative institutional model for the area’s economic development that can strengthen value chain integration and enhance the socio-economic resilience of local communities. The study employed field surveys, Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) with various stakeholders, as well as Institutional Typology Analysis, Social Network Analysis (SNA), and Stakeholder Analysis. Findings indicate that most economic institutions, such as farmer groups, village-owned enterprises (BUMKAM), and cooperatives, are still administrative in nature and have not yet performed their economic functions effectively. The Institutional Typology Analysis categorizes actors into three main groups: Value Chain Driver Institutions (Quadrant A) with high capacity and strong relevance to priority commodities; Potential Institutions (Quadrant B) that are organizationally strong but not yet connected to key commodities; and Dormant Institutions (Quadrant D) with minimal capacity and limited activities. SNA reveals weak and fragmented relationships among actors, indicating the absence of an effective collaborative network. Meanwhile, the stakeholder analysis highlights the need to strengthen the role of key institutions to improve coordination and expand partnerships. Based on these analyses, a collaborative institutional model was formulated that emphasizes continuous facilitation, institutional reorientation, and multi-stakeholder partnerships involving government, NGOs, cooperatives, farmer groups, and private sector actors. This model is expected to enhance institutional capacity, promote value chain upgrading, and strengthen the economic resilience of agro-maritime communities in Weri–Saharey.
