Strengthening Regional Development Evaluation
Through Governance
Workshop on strengthening the evaluation
of local government administration (EPPD)
through the parameters of the Indonesia
Governance Index (IGI)
The revised IGI approach also
incorporates a closer examination of
regulatory and administrative coherence
and alignment to the national system.
Other factors examined through the
index includes those familiar with
KEMITRAAN's earlier IGI surveys, notably
gender and marginalized groups (fairness
principle), anticorruption (transparency &
accountability principles), human rights
(public services indicators), democracy
(participation principle) as well as
environmental and climate change. This
program reflects a growing partnership
with this ministry as well as the capacity
of Indonesian not-for-profits such as
KEMITRAAN to secure funding through the
state budget.
Another well-established index
developed by KEMITRAAN, namely
the Police Governance Index has been
increasingly incorporated into the
institutional management framework of
the National Police (Polri). A proposed
review of Polri Headquarters provincial
and district level reviews during 2021 was
cancelled as Polri has invited a key state
university to evaluate and revise the PGI.
Key to the success of the PGI over the
years has been the independence of the
evaluations combined with the capacity of
these independent assessments to inform
management programs within Polri. At the
close of the year this evaluation was still
ongoing.
Additional efforts to re-energise one
of KEMITRAAN's well known surveys,
namely the Indonesia Governance Index,
IGI, began to bear fruit during 2021. The
Directorate General for Regional Autonomy
commissioned KEMITRAAN through its
Knowledge Management and Learning
Unit (KMLU) to conduct a pilot of a revised
form of the IGI. The pilot areas included
two provinces, namely West Java and
Gorontalo, two cities namely Tangerang in
Banten and Mojokerto in East Java as well
as two districts, namely Bone Bolango in
Gorontalo and Slemen in Yogyakarta.
The findings of this pilot review
exercise and verified through the Annual
Regional Government's Evaluation Results
(Evaluasi Penyelenggaraan Pemerintahan
Daerah/EPPD) issued by Ditjen OTDA
provide recommendations to strengthen
the EPPD tool. This work will also feed into
the wider work being conducted in other
agency within Kemendagri, specifically
its Research and Development Agency,
to further develop a multi-sector index.
Progress on completing the field studies
associated with data gathering was
delayed by approximately three months
from July to October due to the severe
outbreak of the Delta variant of COVID-19
in Indonesia at that time. Despite these
challenges, KEMITRAAN was able to
complete the work and provide significant
recommendations to Ditjen Otda.

"The need for an independent institution is legally recognized because it is in
accordance with the law, hence our collaboration with KEMITRAAN is very much
supported by the Minister of Home Affairs," explained Dedy Winarman, Director of
Performance Evaluation and Regional Capacity Building (EKPKD-Kemendagri), during
the opening of workshop on strengthening the evaluation of regional government
implementation (EPPD) through the parameters of the Indonesia Governance Index (IGI)
on November 17, 2021.
"In order to avoid malicious tasks, the Minister (M. Tito Karnavian) also ordered that
the EPPD data collecting be conducted digitally,” said Dedy.
In terms of cross agency collaboration
on policy and advocacy the KMLU has
been an active participant in Canada's
International Development Research
Centre's (IDRC) Think Climate Indonesia
initiative. Through partnering with this
consortium of several Indonesian CSOs,
KEMITRAAN was provided with resources
to strengthen its organizational capacity in
policy advocacy. The support emphasizes
climate policy as well as strengthening
its research capacity for policy advocacy
and improved effectiveness of research
dissemination. Additional support has been
provided to strengthen the technical skills
of KEMITRAAN researchers. Technical
training was also provided to help
KEMITRAAN better grasp how to deal with
the changed government procurement
criteria, which now allow not-for-profit
organizations to compete for contracts.
