The purpose of this study is to examine the role of government in the implementation of regional autonomy, especially in the border regions of North Sulawesi Province. This research was conducted using a survey method in the border areas in North Sulawesi Province, namely the Sangihe Islands, Talaud, Siau Tagulandang and Biaro, then comparing it with Manado City which is the Provincial Capital. The data are then analyzed descriptively about the development of the value of the human development index, and government policies. The results showed that local governments play a role in development as evidenced by the value of the Human Development Index which increased from 2010-2018. Although the HDI value of Manado City is higher than the border area, in general regional development has been carried out and the government has implemented regional autonomy.
