History

Development of disadvantaged regions programs was started under the Abdurrahman Wahid presidency. At that time, the post of Undersecretariat of Acceleration of Development in Eastern Indonesia Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia (Indonesia: Menteri Muda Urusan Percepatan Pembangunan Kawasan Timur Indonesia Republik Indonesia) created by him through Presidential Decision No. 234/M/2000 on reformation of National Unity Cabinet after the first reshuffle of his cabinet on 23 August 2000. Unlike undersecretary which normally positioned under a ministry in another countries, the undersecretariat office was directly under the President and this situation commonly happened in Indonesia up until prior Megawati Soekarnoputri presidency. The office firstly held by Manuel Kaisiepo [ id]. [2] Despite being under the President, the office does not have certain degree of freedom on its own. For financing the undersecretariat activities, the office was financed through Coordinating Ministry for Economic Affairs fund as written in the undersecretariat constituting document, Presidential Decree No. 164/2000. For program planning and execution, the office must be under Coordinating Ministry for Political, Legal, and Security Affairs supervision and gaining approval from Ministry of State Apparatus Utilization and Bureaucratic Reform as mandated in Presidential Decree No. 176/2000.

After Megawati Soekarnoputri took the presidency, the post retained by Manuel Kaisiepo, and the office elevated to State Ministry for the Acceleration of Development in Eastern Indonesia (Indonesia: Kementerian Negara Percepatan Pembangunan Kawasan Timur Indonesia). [3] When Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono took the presidency after 2004 Indonesian presidential election, the office later upgraded to the State Ministry for the Acceleration of Development of Disadvantaged Regions (Indonesia: Kementerian Negara Percepatan Pembangunan Daerah Tertinggal), and the office of the ministry retained the name until 9 May 2007 with Saifullah Yusuf as the minister. Since then, the office not only covered the Eastern Indonesia but whole disadvantaged regions of Indonesia. The ministry renamed into the State Ministry for the Development of Disadvantaged Regions (Indonesia: Kementerian Negara Pembangunan Daerah Tertinggal) and retained its name until 20 October 2009. During the second presidency of Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, the office renamed into Ministry for the Development of Disadvantaged Regions (Indonesia: Kementerian Pembangunan Daerah Tertinggal) on 19 October 2011. [3]

When Joko Widodo took the presidency after 2014 Indonesian presidential election, the ministry structure later expanded by combining the Ministry for the Development of Disadvantaged Regions and Directorate General of Guidance and Development of Transmigration Areas of Ministry of Manpower and changed its name to Ministry of Villages, Development of Disadvantaged Regions, and Transmigration.
