As for the special autonomy granted by the central government to Papua, it is not the widest autonomy but the special autonomy of asymmetric decentralization. The granting of limited authority is in accordance with the needs of the community or vice versa. The purpose of the study of asymmetric decentralization of special autonomy is to assess the distribution of special autonomy funds to the recipient communities from the perspective of the active role of community participation in realizing the goals of decentralized autonomy received by the Papuan government.

The classes of community participation levels include: (1) Manipulation, (2) Information, (3) Consultation), (4) Partnership, (5) Delegation, and (6) Citizen Control. From the results of field research, the problem of studying community participation in the musrenbang process is quite strong, but in the implementation of activity programs, the beneficiaries have a moderate level of participation.
