The Master’s Program in Natural Resource Management (PSDA) at the Faculty of Agriculture, Universitas Trunojoyo Madura (UTM), in collaboration with the Fakfak District Government of West Papua Province, was organizing an event to develop natural resource potential in Fakfak District from July 29 to August 2, 2024. Dr. Apri Arisandi, Coordinator of the PSDA Master’s Program, stated that this event is part of a series aimed at socializing the postgraduate program and establishing active cooperation with local government staff. The event begun with presentations on the postgraduate program, followed by discussions and the identification of natural resource potential in agriculture, fisheries, and marine ecotourism. It concluded with the signing of a cooperation agreement between Universitas Trunojoyo Madura and the Fakfak District Government. The cooperation encompassed the Three Pillars of Higher Education: Education, Research, and Community Service.

According to Safrudin H. La Sitambah, Head of the Competency Development Division at the Regional Civil Service Agency and Human Resource Development of Fakfak Regency, Fakfak Regency is rich in natural resources both on land and at sea. The mining sector includes quartz sand, coal, and gold; the fisheries sector includes tuna, skipjack, and bonito; the agriculture sector includes corn, cassava, peanuts, and soybeans; the plantation sector includes coffee, cocoa, and nutmeg; and the livestock sector includes cattle, pigs, and goats. Additionally, the region boasts extraordinarily beautiful marine tourism, and it is hoped that snorkeling and diving tourism in Fakfak's waters will continue to develop in the future.

The natural resources found in Fakfak Regency, if managed properly, could become a highly promising source of regional revenue (PAD), while also ensuring their sustainability. The development of natural resource potential in Fakfak cannot be achieved instantly; it must be gradual and start with the development of human resource competencies. Once human resources are competent, decision-making and utilization of natural resources will be more prudent. Therefore, Universitas Trunojoyo Madura, through its Master’s Program in Natural Resource Management, is engaged as a partner to realize the vision of sustainability in Fakfak Regency.

Dr. Teti Sugiarti further stated that the development of human resources, in addition to education for policymakers, must also be complemented by community empowerment activities to develop the local potential in the coastal areas of Fakfak. Each individual certainly possesses potential that can be developed, including fishermen and their wives. One of Fakfak's prominent marine products is flying fish roe, which is known for its high quality. The price of dried flying fish roe can currently exceed Rp. 800,000 per kilogram. If the fishermen's wives were trained to produce ready-to-consume products, it is certain that the fishermen's income would significantly increase. Moving forward, the empowerment program for coastal women, which involves processing marine products into high-value products, should be a priority. Ultimately, the Master’s Program in Natural Resource Management (PSDA), which is consistently committed to conservation, will continue to support and actively participate in the development of natural resource potential in Fakfak Regency.

Universitas Trunojoyo Madura conducted a Technical Guidance on Bureaucratic Reform and Integrity Zone on July 17-18, 2024, at the Graha Utama Building, UTM.

The activity is a reflection of Universitas Trunojoyo Madura's (UTM) commitment to implementing bureaucratic reforms and establishing an integrity zone.

In this event, UTM invited Zulfahmi, a speaker from the Bureaucratic Reform Team of the Directorate General of Higher Education (Ditjen Dikti), Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology (Kemendikbudristek).

This technical guidance activity was attended by all leaders of the University, Faculties, Institutions, as well as the bureaucracy reform and integrity zone teams from all faculties.

The Rector of UTM, Dr. Safi', S.H., M.H., in his remarks, expressed deep appreciation for this event. Furthermore, he provided guidance on a specific goal that needs to be accomplished.

As is well known, one of the performance targets set for the Rector is the establishment of integrity zones in at least half of the existing faculties.

"Therefore, at least four faculties at UTM are prepared to be designated as integrity zones on the path towards becoming corruption-free areas (WBK)," stated Safi’.

Safi' also provided guidance that all faculties at UTM should be targeted for establishing integrity zones.

The Rector of UTM, a native of Sumenep, emphasized that the development of the integrity zone is not merely about meeting the targets outlined in the performance agreement, but it is also a strategic step to enhance the quality of education and services at UTM.

Safi’ hoped that all faculties will demonstrate strong commitment and effective cooperation in realizing the integrity zone.

As is known, the development of an integrity zone aims to create a work environment that is clean, free from corruption, and capable of providing optimal public services. The integrity zone also represents a tangible manifestation of bureaucratic reform, which is expected to enhance public trust in educational institutions.

Meanwhile, Zulfahmi from the Directorate General of Higher Education conveyed that the development of integrity zones serves as an evaluation of all activities that have been undertaken.

"Often, without realizing it, institutions or work units have already carried out activities that are part of the integrity zone. However, these activities are frequently not documented and organized systematically. The development of an integrity zone requires commitment from both leadership and the entire academic community of the higher education institution," said Zulfahmi.

Zulfahmi also emphasized the importance of providing documented evidence for each activity conducted in the various areas of change within this integrity zone.

“Each element plays a crucial role in creating an environment free from corruption and full of integrity,” he emphasized.

Zulfahmi added that the development of an integrity zone must involve all elements within the institution, including the leadership, faculty members, administrative staff, and students.

"Therefore, it is essential to have awareness and active participation from all members of the academic community to implement programs that support the realization of an integrity zone," he concluded.

The Rector of Universitas Trunojoyo Madura (UTM), Dr. Safi’, S.H., M.H., accompanied by the Vice Rector III Surokim, S.Sos., S.H., M.Si, and the Dean of the Faculty of Islamic Studies (FKIS) Sofiyun Nahidloh, S.Ag., M.H.I, received a visit from the Chairman of the National Amil Zakat Agency (BAZNAS) of East Java Province, Prof. Dr. K.H. Ali Maschan Moesa, M.Si., along with his team, on Monday, July 8, 2024.

Located in Meeting Room 501 on the 5th floor of the Rectorate, Dr. Safi’, S.H., M.H. warmly welcomed the Head of BAZNAS East Java and his team to UTM. He also introduced the leaders present at the meeting, which was attended by Supriyanto, S.E., M.M. from the Academic and Student Affairs Bureau (BAK) and Ningwar, S.E., M.M. from the General Affairs and Human Resources Bureau (BUK).

Meanwhile, present were the Vice Chairman III of BAZNAS East Java, Dr. K.H. Muhammad Zakki, M.Si, the Vice Chairman IV of BAZNAS East Java, Dr. K.H. Husnul Khuluq, M.M., the Head of the Collection Division and Staff of SAI BAZNAS East Java, as well as the Management of the Zakat Collection Unit (UPZ) of UTM.

In the meeting, there was extensive discussion regarding the policies and implementation of professional zakat, given that UTM is a government institution. According to Presidential Instruction No. 3 of 2014, all civil servants are required to fulfill their zakat obligations through Baznas.

Dr. Safi’, S.H., M.H. stated that the collection of Zakat, Infaq, and Sadaqah (ZIS) at UTM has not yet reached its full potential and has not met the targets set. He mentioned that efforts will be made to revitalize and optimize the existing ZIS Collection Units (UPZ) as extensions of Baznas to enhance the effectiveness of ZIS collection at UTM.

"This meeting is primarily focused on coordination and collaboration. In essence, we already have a UPZ that acts as an extension of BAZNAS, but it has not yet been optimized. Therefore, revitalization is necessary to enhance the management of zakat, infak, and sadaqah funds for civil servants within government institutions, which have significant potential. It is hoped that we can optimize this going forward," he stated.

In the same session, the Chairman of BAZNAS Jatim, Prof. Dr. K.H. Ali Maschan Moesa, M.Si., stated that his purpose in visiting UTM was to deliver the government's mandate in accordance with Presidential Instruction No. 3/2014, which is a noble duty.

“We are here to carry out government duties. We hope that in the future, the collection of ZIS funds from UTM will be more optimal, so that 70% of the collected funds can assist sweepers, mosque caretakers, and students within the UTM environment,” he explained.
