Technical Support for Decentralization Reform in Indonesia
When Indonesia implemented its "big bang" decentralization reforms on January 1, 2001, the country moved very rapidly from what had been a highly centralized state toward a highly decentralized public sector. There is a broad consensus among stakeholders that the system of intergovernmental fiscal relations which has materialized has several strong features, but that the system can be further enhanced and refined by improving the transparency, efficiency and equity in the system.
In order to provide technical support to the decentralization process in Indonesia, USAID/Jakarta awarded a Task Order to a combined GSU-PADCO Team under the Sustainable Urban Management (SUM) IQC. The overall objective of the Task Order is to support successful implementation of decentralization reforms in Indonesia. The GSU-PADCO team will support these reforms by: (a) monitoring the status of decentralization reform on a quarterly basis; (b) proposing activities to improve the structure and coordination in intergovernmental relations; (c) engaging in policy analysis; (d) providing support for parliamentary strengthening whenever appropriate; and (e) supporting the nascent network of policy experts within Indonesia’s regional universities.
