  1. Policy Seminar: Strengthening Development Planning and Performance Evaluation in Support of Local Government Practices Jakarta 13-14 October 2009 SUMMARY Key Points and Recommendations

  2. Organizing Thoughts • HD and MDG frameworks embraced (MTDP, HDRs, MDGRs) • Practical application of HD/MDG tools at regional level has started but limited • Crucial importance of a dialogue and learning among provinces and linking up to central policy-making • Upscaling of good local practices and further evolution of central support is the way forward

  3. HD and MDG approaches • Put people at the center of development, help overcome limitations of economic approach • How do we define HD in Indonesia? “go beoynd the numbers comparable with others” • Region-specific definition of HD (visi, misi, priorities) • Allow to generate measures and instruments adaptable to local context • To be careful not to equate HDI and HD approach • How the MDG and HD frameworks relate to each other

  4. HD and MDG approaches: what do we use them for? • Defining, measuring and evaluating development performance, comparisons in-country and internationally • Operationalizing the vision • Guiding regional/local development strategy – priority-setting, strategic focus, planning, budgeting, better targeting and sharper allocations, stakeholder engagement, M&E, policy responses “From HD-based evidence to HD-based planning to sharper budgeting” • Integration of provincial and local development planning around HD priorities

  5. “Ingredients” of successful application • Data: timely, valid, relevant – adjustment of regular data collection might be needed • Political support and commitment of leadership • Capacities (data collection/analysis, planning, budgeting, monitoring, response) • Inclusion of stakeholders (communities, musrenbang, local legislatures, academia, civil society) • Coordination across sectors, institutions (BAPPENAS/Bappeda & BPS), levels of governance, executive and legislative

  6. Emerging Practices in HD/MDG application • Help to shape up regional/local development agenda (breakthrough programmes, acceleration targets) • Budget allocations mapped against MDGs – but how to take it further • Inclusive approaches piloted (scorecarding, reporting cards, structured musrenbang, public access to data) – but need to advance further esp. with local parliaments

  7. Highlights from international practice INDIA: • Economic survey containing HD chapter • Financing for HD: studies in 8 states • HD Research & Coordination Units within local governments • HD radars • Mainstreaming HD into educational system CENTRAL and EASTERN EUROPE: • Regional-level MDGRs • Disaggregation • Social exclusion • Focus on vulnerable groups • Use for advocacy

  8. Challenges and Issues Information/evidence: data, indicators (range of short/long-term, intermediate and outcome indicators), patterns of expenditure, how to aggregate, evolving statistical methodologies, adaptation of HD/MDG instruments, M&E, management for results Application: local government ownership and clarity about responsibilities, use of HD/MDG data in priority-setting and targeting budget allocations, financial flows Institutional coordination/collaboration and people participation: horizontal, vertical, across sectors/institutions, executive-legislative, public access Impact: integration of effort (evidence-planning-budget allocation-implementation-financing-monitoring) resulting into a cohesive response including central-regional linkages; upscaling of good local practice; supportive central policy guidance/response; public support and participation

  9. “Take Away” messages • Knowledge-sharing, learning and replication of local practice hold the key to moving forward (in data collection, focusing of programmes, M&E...) • Central policy guidance: issuing guidelines, determining thresholds for triggering policy response, sensitizing statistical bureaus • Framework for evaluation of regional development performance: agreement on methodologies (Bappenas/Bappedas – BPS); measures built into planning, results orientation, sharpening of allocations

  10. “Take Away” messages – cont’d • Power of advocacy: Gorontalo example • Capacities for promoting Human Development • To broaden reliance on MDGs in the government – go beyond BAPPENAS • Constructive dialogue among regions and with central policy-makers, engaging other key actors is essential for upscaling good local practice, securing responsive and supportive central policies, more effective joint action and ultimately a greater impact on HD and achievement of the MDGs • Capturing, documenting and dissemination of knowledge and practice • Aligning international support with evolving needs and priorities of HD in Indonesia, focus on capacity development, policy advice, technical assistance, support to pilots
