91 PROPOSALS TO RESOLVE AGRARIAN CONFLICTS (policy and institutions) CONCLUSION After four years, the process of conflict resolution in the agrarian reform framework of the Jokowi-Jusuf Kalla era does not seem to show any significant progress. On the other hand, various investments and developments projects seem to have accelerated, without any enhancement in people’s land tenure security. In short, land investments are at the center of national land policy. The effect is that agrarian conflicts are increasing, and repressive procedures continue to be used in containing them. Casualties and other forms of violence are inevitable. Agrarian reform requires political will. While the current government favors agrarian reform, it is not firm and consistent enough. This can be seen in the 5 CSO proposals have included (1) the creation of a Komisi Nasional untuk Penyelesaian Konflik Agraria (KNuPKA, or (National Commission for Agrarian Conflict Resolution) during the Megawati Administration, and (2) the establishment of a Pembentukan Unit Kerja Presiden untuk Penyelesaian Konflik Agraria (UKP2KA, or Presidential Work Unit for Agrarian Conflict Resolution) under the Jokowi Administration.
