Purpose:   This study aims to decide the strategy of the Samarinda City Government in improving the capabilities of its apparatus. The methods and efforts they choose are certainly inseparable from the characteristics and capabilities as well as the social and political context in Samarinda City.   Theoretical framework: The Civil Servant (ASN) is the crucial point and key factor that decides the success or failure of governance and the implementation of national development. The smooth administration of government and the implementation of national development are largely determined by the quality of the resources of the apparatus.     Design/methodology/approach: This research uses a type of mixed method. The source of data in this study is the regional personnel agency for secondary data and the primary data comes from interviews with key informants and informants in this case are the Head of BKPSDM (Human Resources Development and Personnel Agency) of Samarinda City and officials related to civil servant. Furthermore, this research will also use the analytic comparison analysis method, which is a method that contrasts theory with other explanations of concrete conditions in a more specific social context   Findings: Education and training are conducted according to applicable regulations with all budget constraints so that the in-house training strategy is an alternative to the implementation of training even though the results have not been maximized. Cost leadership strategy through increasing the budget for ability and capability improvement is a strategy that is expected to accelerate the increase in apparatus ability.   Research, Practical & Social implications: To increase the capability of Civil Servants more intensively, it is necessary to increase the appropriate Education and Training budget according to the skill needs of each work unit.   Originality/value:  The researcher adds that integrity is an implementation of the in-house training strategy.
