Process and timeframe May-Jul 2012 Jun 2011 - Aug 2011 Sep 2011 -Mar 2012 Nov-Dec 2012 1 2 3 4 5 Assessment matrix Costing of scenarios using RAP Finalization of ABND report, endorsement of recommend -ations and RAP Launch of ABND report Hands-on training on RAP Limitations? International Labour Conference and Recommendation on SPFs, 2012 (No. 202)
Policy and implementation gaps in Indonesia • Social protection programmes and schemes are scattered • Benefit levels are low • Social security coverage for formal sector workers is limited • There is almost no social protection for informal economy workers • Enforcement of the law is poor
Results of RAP in Indonesia • Cost of implementing SPF benefits during expressed as % of GDP
Stakeholders • Government: Bappenas (ministry of planning and development) as the lead agency, Ministry of Manpower and Transmigration, Ministry of Social Affairs, Ministry of Health, Statistics Bureau • Social security providers: Jamsostek, Askes • Regional government: Led by Bappeda (regional planning office) • Employers: APINDO • Workers: KSBSI, KSPSI, KSPI • Academicians: PGSD, University of Indonesia • Development partners: UN Sub-Working Group on Social Protection, UNWomen, UNAIDS, UNICEF, WHO, NGOs
ABND at different levels National level • Awareness building on SPF (Indonesian Job Pact, DWCP) • Advocacy and bilateral meeting (Vice President’s office, TNP2K, Bappenas) • Consultative meetings (finalizing the assessment matrix) • Validation and knowledge sharing workshops • Technical/endorsement meeting Provincial level (Maluku, NTT and East Java provinces) • Awareness raising on SPF • Consultative meetings (finalizing the assessment matrix) • Validation workshops • Follow-up meeting for implementation of Single Window Service
Lessons from ABND in Indonesia • ABND should be aligned with national priorities: for the development of a comprehensive social security system. This is especially important for financing, extending coverage to informal economy workers, SJSN (National Social Security System), BPJS (Social Security Service Providers) and Poverty Reduction Programme. • All relevant stakeholders should be involved from the start: for ownership of the report, to help in endorsement and sustainability. As a result of the ABND, the Maluku and East Java provincial governments earmarked budgets for the SWS implementation, and Jember district made SWS a poverty alleviation strategy.
Lessons from ABND in Indonesia • Involving the UN sub-working group and stakeholders: in consultative meetings helps obtain inputs on cross-cutting issues and generate ideas, including for further technical cooperation. • Identifying one lead agency: or Ministry to lead the process and “buy-in” the result is key to endorsement of the ABND recommendations in the national strategy.
Lessons from ABND in Indonesia • Involving the media: through press releases on workshops and meetings, briefings, expert interviews, and radio and TV coverage helps influence public debate and policy development. Unified service proposed for social protection program The Jakarta Post | National | Thu, December 15 2011 With duplications in social protection programmesdelivered by different government agencies, developing a Single Window Service for the beneficiaries was critical to ensure their effectiveness, experts have said.
Limitations of ABND in Indonesia • Participatory vs. extension of the ABND report launch to accommodate more feedback? • Reservation of the point of view that the SPF encourages informality instead of the other way around • How to make the ABND exercise coherent with Indonesia’s current social security development programme?
