  1. INDONESIA Incentivizing Local Government Delivery by Rewarding Results in Indonesia Peter D. Ellis Senior Urban Economist EASIS

  2. Local Government (LG) Engagement Approach thEchallenGes • Lack of transparency and accountability • Inadequate and cumbersome reporting • Weak monitoring and evaluation • Very little verification • Strengthen Country Institutions • Target large set of LGs • Improve LG internal controls • Work through existing transfer system thEApproach BANK DUNIA │THE WORLD BANK

  3. Dana AlokasiKhusus(Specific Purpose Grants) • Dana AlokasiKhusus(Specific Purpose Grants) allocated from national budget to local governments (LGs) to finance specific activities which are determined by the central government but under the jurisdiction of LG. • DAK allocation amount is determined on annual basis within the national budget, with LGs satisfying specific criteria to qualify • Total DAK allocation for 2010 is about US$2.32 billion.

  4. Overview of DAK Reimbursement Program • The Project will be a pilot with a proposed size of US$ 220 million over four years. • Focused in five provinces: Jambi, East Java, Central Kalimantan, West Sulawesi, and North Maluku. • Will be designed as Specific Investment Lendingand the mechanism will be Output-Based Disbursement (OBD) triggered by achievement of results. • The project will focus on the infrastructure sector (road, irrigation, water and sanitation), which makes up about 21% of DAK allocations BANK DUNIA │THE WORLD BANK

  6. Institutional Arrangements

  7. Project Development Objectives (DO) and Results Framework (RF) PDO: Improve the accountability and reporting of the central government’s Specific Purpose Grants (DAK) for the infrastructure sectors. RF: Improve financial and technical reporting RF: Conduct output verification of projects financed by DAK funds BANK DUNIA │THE WORLD BANK

  8. Key Features of DAK Program • Results focused • Reward Performance with grants • Reimburse eligible outputs • Strengthen Government Systems • Central government ownership and control • Strengthen LG Internal Controls • Web-based Monitoring and Reporting Systems • Independent Verification of Outputs and Compliance • Government internal auditor, BPKP BANK DUNIA │THE WORLD BANK

  9. Output Eligibility Criteria for Reimbursement BANK DUNIA │THE WORLD BANK

  10. Fiduciary and Safeguards Aspects BANK DUNIA │THE WORLD BANK

  11. Verification of Outputs (VO) • BPKP will finance the VO function. • BPKP will report its finding and recommendations in an Output Verification Report (OVR). • OVR will be the only basis to request Bank disbursements. The State Finance and Development Supervisory Board (BPKP) will carry out the output verification process on a representative sample basis for projects in LGs. BANK DUNIA │THE WORLD BANK

  12. Challenges in Project Implementation • Delivering Institutional Strengthening (TA) to LGs. Delays in the delivery of TA due to restructuring in MoF. • Compliance with Technical Guidelines. LGs lack capacity to deliver DAK outputs and to submit reports. • Coordination within Central Government. Multiple GoI stakeholders have overlapping roles. • Monitoring & Evaluation Unclear on who should conduct M&E.

  13. What Has Improved So Far Advance Payment. Made on July 5, 2011 and covers 64 percent of eligible districts. Verification Arrangement. BPKP has finalized verification guidelines and started verification test-run with LGs. Development of WBRS. Developing a new web-based system for financial and technical reporting. Improved Coordination.GoI has held several coordination meetings to define the role of each stakeholder in the project implementation.

  14. What’s Next? • Scale up existing project to more Provinces or sectors • Deepen reforms within LGs • Promote improved accountability downwards • Greater transparency in budgeting • Strengthen LG annual planning and execution • Improve efficiency and effectiveness of expenditures
