The signing took place on Friday, August 21, at the LLDIKTI Region IX Hall in Makassar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The MoU was formally signed by Dr. Melania Suweni Muntini, M.T., Deputy Director for Resources and Cooperation at LAMSAMA, and Prof. dr. Budu, Ph.D., Sp.M(K)., M.MedEd., Head of LLDIKTI Region IX.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The partnership marks a strategic step toward strengthening institutional collaboration in external quality assurance, quality enhancement, and the accreditation of study programs within LAMSAMA\u2019s scope across higher education institutions under the jurisdiction of LLDIKTI Region IX.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The five-year agreement, effective from the date of signing, will serve as the foundation for a range of planned, measurable, documented, and sustainable quality enhancement and accreditation initiatives. The technical implementation of the MoU will be further governed through a Cooperation Agreement between the two institutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Driving Accreditation Readiness and Performance<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through this collaboration, LAMSAMA and LLDIKTI Region IX will work together to strengthen external quality assurance systems and improve the accreditation status of study programs within LAMSAMA\u2019s scope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The partnership is driven in part by the potential identified among study programs within LLDIKTI Region IX\u2019s jurisdiction to improve their accreditation readiness and performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The collaboration will encompass a number of strategic initiatives, including the socialization and dissemination of LAMSAMA\u2019s accreditation policies and instruments, mapping the quality baseline and accreditation status of study programs, conducting <em>self-assessments<\/em>, providing technical assistance and consultations, and strengthening the capacity of institutions\u2019 internal quality assurance systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The initiative will support not only study programs that already hold accredited status, but also those currently holding Non-Accredited Status. Self-assessment support, <em>gap analysis<\/em>, and the development of follow-up action plans will form part of the assistance provided to help study programs strengthen their quality readiness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Melania Suweni Muntini, M.T., emphasized that the partnership represents an important step toward building a more structured and sustainable quality enhancement ecosystem across the LLDIKTI Region IX area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis partnership is an important step in strengthening the synergy between LAMSAMA and LLDIKTI Region IX in fostering a culture of quality across higher education institutions. Our goal is not only to ensure that study programs are prepared for the accreditation process, but also to encourage accreditation to become an integral part of continuous quality enhancement. Through systematic mapping, self-assessment, targeted assistance, and follow-up actions, we hope that more study programs within LAMSAMA\u2019s scope will strengthen their readiness and achieve improved accreditation outcomes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/lamsama.or.id\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/image.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2547\" width=\"579\" height=\"434\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lamsama.or.id\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/image.jpeg 579w, https:\/\/lamsama.or.id\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/image-300x225.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 579px) 100vw, 579px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Representatives of LAMSAMA and LLDIKTI Region IX pose for a group photo.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Structured and Sustainable Quality Development<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The partnership will target both public and private higher education institutions, as well as the units responsible for managing study programs within LAMSAMA\u2019s scope.
