During a meeting with village residents, Pastika said that the implementation of any infrastructure project required an integrated program between the provincial and regional administrations.
Nusa Penida islets are located off the main island. Most of the people on these isolated islands live in deprived conditions. There is a wide gap in development programs between different areas within Klungkung regency. Nusa Penida and other islets in Klungkung are still underdeveloped with limited roads, healthcare and education institutions and job opportunities. Despite the people’s poor living conditions, Nusa Penida is rich in tourism potential.
