Extractive industriesproblem(1) • Resource rich areas tend to have history of vertical conflict (Aceh, Papua) • Unsatifaction with revenue sharing ---- Greater autonomy status  receive more natural resources revenue transfer from central government • Resource rich areas tend to have high poverty rate • Excess of decentralisation (since 2000): irresponsible concession awarding by local governments (KP; 7.000): no competitive bidding process, no appropriate regulatory institutions, unclear revenue stream • History of violence and human rights violation in resource rich areas • “Local resource curse”: social-economic problems surrounding mining projects, environmental damages, public facilities disturbances (road, bridges), air pollution

Public financial management reform Put more transparency in budget process and management There is space for public engagement, but very limited Audit of government financial statements (agency by agency) are disclouse Information of extractive revenue transfer are available, though questions remain Limited disclousure on (country) revenue from extractive industry

  11. Access to Public Information Law Initiated by the House of Representative (DPR) Government agencies mostly do n ot realize the significant of the law CSOs have been using this for demanding document related to extractive industry Become the legal basis for adopting EITI

  12. Adopting EITI • Government of Indonesia took 2,5 years to come up with Presidential Decree to adopt EITI ---- extensive coordinating works inside government • Become candidate country on December 20, 2010 ------ 2 years to achieve compliance country • Bring uniqueness in EITI implementing countries: • Oil and gas • Mining • Sub-national • Promote EITI in regional level ---- ASEAN (Association of South East Asia Nations, 10 countries)

  13. Openess of the House of Representative toward NGOs Growing demand for specific laws Limited capacity of the House’s members and their staff Tendency to ‘compete’ with government whose staff are more experienced, or more chance to hire independent experts

  14. Why the Government takes reform action toward transparency • Awareness of the important to draw reform agenda in public finance management (MoF): efficiency, uplift Indonesia position in global arena • Awareness of the important toresponse to new investment challenges (MoF, MENR) • There are growing concern internationally on the important of transparency and accountability • Need to balance decentralisation with ‘ACCOUNTABILITY’ (MoF, MOHA)
