DSF Quarterly Report September 2010

Decentralization Support Facility Quarterly Report (For the quarter ending 30 September 2010)

Introduction 1. In accordance with the DSF operations manual, this report is submitted within 30 days of the end of the third quarter of 2010. 2. The report summarises the outcomes of the DFID review of the DSF that was conducted during the reporting period. It also discusses briefly the bases of detailed work planning that is underway, which takes into account confirmation by the principal financial donor of the finality of the closing date for the DSF of September 2011 (for activity implementation), a set funding ceiling, and speed of disbursement estimates. 3. Discussion of activity implementation progress takes place within the body of the report and (in greater detail) in the monitoring framework in Annex A. 4. A summary of total projected disbursements (programming and operations) against cash held and confirmed transfers is presented in Table 1 in a separate section of the main body of the report below, and a full financial report is set out in Annex B.

DFID Review of the DSF 5. In late August/September, a review of the DSF programme was conducted on behalf of the DSF‘s principal financial donor (DFID) by one independent national consultant and an international (DFID) senior governance adviser. The reviewers interviewed officials from Ministry of Home Affairs (MoHA), Bappenas, Ministry of Finance (MoF), and a number of local governments; DSF Executive and World Bank management and staff; and representatives of a number of donor and implementing agencies. The reviewers also read DSF progress reports and programming documents. 6. The overall rating of the programme by the reviewers was a ‗3‘ - with strong positive qualifications.1 The review found that two of the main DSF milestones are likely to achieve most of their objectives by September 2011, and that two will have a moderate chance of doing so. 7. Based on the review, DFID has confirmed that it will honour the agreed closing date for the DSF programme of 30 September 2011 (for activity implementation) and 31 March 2012 (for payments). It is likely that a letter confirming closure of the DSF in September 2011 and setting a funding ceiling based on the amount and timing of the final financial transfer will be sent by DFID to relevant authorities in the Government of Indonesia during the first half of October.

In DFID terms, a rating of ‗3‘connotes the likelihood that programme objectives will be partly achieved by the closing date.

DSF Quarterly Report September 2010

8. The DSF review recommended that a work plan be drafted through to September 2011 that takes account of realistic disbursement possibilities and the necessity to ensure good quality implementation in the time remaining. 9. Initial discussions with government on the work plan and associated matters were held on 28 September 2010. Such discussions are on-going. 10.

The bases of work planning are discussed briefly in the next section.

Bases of Work Planning 11. As mentioned above, work planning will accommodate speed of disbursement estimates and confirmed closing date constraints and will be designed to optimise good quality in activity implementation. A draft work plan is under discussion with counterpart government directorates. 12. Among other things, activity progress will depend greatly on institutional absorptive capacity, mainly in terms of processing times associated with different forms of procurement and modes of execution (recipient or Bank). Judgements will need to be made about the pace at which different aspects of procurement and associated processes within the World Bank (including the DSF Executive) and within government might proceed. 13. It should be noted that the time taken for a particular form of procurement under the same mode of execution can vary considerably. For example, World Bank experience suggests that, under (government) recipient-execution, procurement of a firm can take up to two years and is rarely less than a year; and that procurement of a firm under World Bank execution can take between 4 months and a year. Likewise, the times required for different internal GoI processes for recipient-execution - which include grant registration, the establishment of a special account, and government budget (DIPA) processing â&#x20AC;&#x201C; can vary significantly between agencies and within the same agencies over time. 14. In this context - which is characterised by a large number and variety of variables, high degrees of variation within particular variables, and several independent loci of control - disbursement estimation and its management are less than straightforward. 15. Work plan adjustments may involve one or more of the following: changes to the mode of execution, from recipient to Bank; re-packaging of scopes of work in order to identify discrete steps or phases; and changes to modes of implementation (firms or consultants).

Programme Implementation 16. A detailed up-date of programme implementation during the quarter is set out in Annex A. Noteworthy features of such implementation are discussed briefly below. 17. Decentralization Education and Training Scholarships. In September 2010, twenty-four2 scholars left for the UK to study for master-level degrees at the following 2

The original quota was 26 scholars. Two scholars withdrew from the programme.

DSF Quarterly Report September 2010

universities: University of Birmingham, University of Bradford, University of Bristol, University of Leeds, University of Newcastle, University of Southampton, and Birkbeck College, University of London. A pre-departure launching ceremony for the programme was held on September 7, 2010, which was attended by, among others, the Ambassador of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland to the Republic of Indonesia (Mr. Martin Hatfull); Pak Heru Subiyantoro, Secretary General of Fiscal Balance, Ministry of Finance; Pak Muh. Marwan, Head of Education and Training Center, Ministry of Home Affairs; other government officials; and representatives of DFID and the British Council. 18. Training on ‘Intergovernmental Fiscal Relations and Local Financial Management’: In July 2010, 12 representatives from MoF, MoHA and Bappenas attended this course, which was offered by the Central European University in Budapest, Hungary. The course was designed to enhance participants‘ understanding of public sector resource management reform by analyzing mechanisms for the transfer of resources among governments and identifying ways to address questions surrounding regional disparities and local resource mobilization. Participants were particularly impressed with the wide variety of country experiences on intergovernmental transfer policy to which they were exposed; and with learning on local taxation and charge models and local financing policies. The MoF plans to organise a number of focus group discussions so that knowledge and insights gained from the course can be disseminated within the organisation. 19. Monitoring and Evaluation of Special Allocation Funds (DAK). With a view to providing for better-informed policy on DAK, the purpose of this activity is to pilot the implementation of DAK monitoring and evaluation systems, as set out by the ‗joint circulator letter‘ on the subject. A workshop launch of the activity was held in September 2010 in Jakarta that was attended by representatives from more than 60 local governments from Jambi, Central Kalimantan, West Sulawesi, and North Maluku provinces. Arifin Rudiyanto (DG Regional Autonomy, Bappenas) and Mulya Manik (DG Regional Development, MoHA) gave an overview of the monitoring and evaluation system for specific purpose grants (DAK); commented on reporting issues from the regions to the centre (that is, to MoF, MoHA, Bappenas and related line ministries); and emphasised the importance of this to DAK policy formulation and to GoI planning for system improvement. Discussion followed of the difficulties involved from the points of view of local governments. 20. LG Borrowing/Municipal Bonds. During the reporting period, a workshop was held to revise local regulations that set preconditions for proceeding to the domestic capital market for a municipal bond issue and for the establishment of an implementation unit for the management of obligations and reporting requirements related to bonds. In the meeting, a number of technical issues were discussed, including: consistency of terminology used; investor criteria; prospectus preparation; bond registry and subregistry; secondary markets for bond sales; reporting arrangements; and bond minimum values. Discussants included representatives from the Directorate General of Debt Management and the Capital Markets Agency of MoF. These regulations will serve as references for other regions that intend to issue municipal bonds. DSF consultants also helped to prepare ToR and budgets on municipal bond issuance for FY 2011. Good

DSF Quarterly Report September 2010

progress is being made with the revision of the regulation on local borrowing (PP54/2005). In particular, MoF, Bappenas and Ministry of Law and Human Rights have reached agreement on: the definition of ‗revenue generating‘ terminology; type and sources of local borrowing; borrowing requirements; and administrative issues on local borrowing. It is expected that the remaining changes to the regulation will be completed and agreed by the end of 2010 or early 2011. 21. Regional Financial Information Systems (SIKD). As of September 2010, a total of 26 districts are submitting electronic data to the MoF national SIKD. This has fulfilled Milestone 2(iii) of Output 2.1 of the log frame, which states that: ‗5% of local governments submit data electronically by December 2010‘. Steps are being taken to ensure the sustainability of the system, including the issuance of a Ministry of Finance decree, which should be finalised by the end of 2010. Coordination with the Audit and Development Supervising Agency (Badan Pengawasan dan Keuangan Pembangunan – BPKP) on the preparation of a ‗patch‘ to be installed in computerized regional finance information systems at the regions is currently underway (Note: BPKP has developed and maintains a computerised regional finance information system that is currently being utilised by around half of the regions in Indonesia). In addition, DSF has started to lay the groundwork for the establishment of a similar database at DG Regional Finance, MoHA. 22. Grand Design for Fiscal Decentralization (GDFD). An action plan has been produced for realising four important objectives in the policy matrix, namely: (1) a transfer system that minimises vertical and horizontal fiscal imbalances; (2) efficient and effective regional revenue and financing; (3) efficient and effective cycle and processes for regional spending; and (4) harmonisation of national and regional spending. Part of the action plan will contribute to revisions of Law 33/2004; and could feed in to the National Action Plan for Fiscal Decentralization currently under preparation by Bappenas and MoF. With respect to the revision of Law 33/2004, most of the proposed amendments are based on the GDFD scheme. Among other things, this relates to: the refinement of the general allocation funds (DAU) allocation and process; revision of allocations and management of DAK; regional borrowing (including from the general public in terms of municipal bonds); regional grants; and the strengthening of the governor‘s role in intergovernmental transfers. It is worth noting that the proposed changes have been informed by discussion with the team (at MoHA) in charge of drafting revisions of Law 32/2004 on regional administration, which should be helpful to the alignment of the two laws. 23. A report has been submitted for review that addresses issues connected with intergovernmental transfers, particularly the analysis of DAU, DAK, and revenue sharing (DBH). The report analyses the development of each of the fiscal transfer instruments and provides recommendations on how to improve the utilisation of these funds in the future. Initial findings show that between 2001 and 2010 the DAU had neither improved nor worsened regional per-capita income disparities. It was also found that the current formulation of the DAU is not an effective means for estimating the fiscal needs of the regions. Moreover, the formula appears to incorporate two perverse incentives: one that encourages the proliferation of districts (pemekaran); and a second that supports regional inclinations to increase the numbers of civil servants. The report recommends an alternative DAU formula that addresses these shortcomings, and suggests how the

DSF Quarterly Report September 2010

formula could be implemented. Simulations using the new formula have been done and the results will be included in the final draft of the report. 24. Capacity Building for Minimum Service Standards (MSS) Costing and Implementation. Regulations have been issued pertaining to MSS in health, education, environment, public housing, social, general public affairs, women‘s empowerment, and family planning (BKKPN). The DSF has helped the Ministry of Health to develop an MSS costing manual and electronic costing system. Testing of the electronic costing system for health in Kota Yogyakarta is underway. DSF is also helping the State Ministry of Environment to develop an electronic costing system for environment MSS, which is being done in parallel to the finalization of the costing manual. BKKBN and the Ministry of Women‘s Empowerment have issued their costing manuals and the Ministry of Public Housing is finalising theirs. The DSF Executive is in the process of compiling all regulations pertaining to MSS. 25. Spatial Planning. Work (that began in May 2010) continues on improving the alignment of national and regional spatial planning and the compatibility of regional spatial plans with regional development plans. In the third quarter of 2010, focus group discussions were held in all three pilot provinces - West Sumatra, East Java and Gorontalo. These events involved provincial government officials and officials from one district and one city government in each province. In the past quarter, the activity has: (1) compiled an inventory of all relevant regional documents - medium-term development plans, annual work plans, spatial plans, sector plans and local regulations; (2) documented strategic issues and challenges in each regional government; (3) made an initial assessment of planning integration and alignment issues; and (4) conducted a training needs analysis in each pilot regional government and developed training modules based on this. 26. Border Area Development. In June 2010, DSF commenced its support to Bappenas and the National Agency for Border Management (BNPP) in relation to (master) planning for the development of border areas. In the past quarter, among other things, the team has: (1) developed a survey instrument for assessing regional governments' own border area management agencies; (2) drawn-up an outline for the master plan; and (3) produced a framework for the compilation of border area profile data. A draft national master plan should be completed by the end of the next quarter. 27. Government Training and Education Centre Development: Introducing Competency-Based Standards for Public Service Delivery. This activity supports government‘s provision of competency-based education and training for improved public service delivery to MoHA and local government officials. The activity is aligned with the President's national bureaucracy reform agenda, which among other things aims to create a competency and performance-based human resource management system. This quarter, the MoHA education and training center (Diklat), along with a team of competency-based standard, human resource development specialists, worked on the strategic framework for competency-based standards and training. Workshops for this purpose - involving representatives from MoHA, BKN (National Civil Service Agency), BNSP (National Professional Certification Agency), Kemenpan (Ministry of Administrative Reform), sectoral ministries, and local governments – were held in August-September 2010. Three outputs have been produced so far: (1) a draft ministerial regulation on the strategic

DSF Quarterly Report September 2010

framework for local government competency standards; (2) a draft strategic framework that includes an overview of the background and issues related to local government competencies, policy directions, steps for developing standards, operationalisation of standards, and a road map for rolling out competency-based standards in various sectors with local governments; and (3) a draft plan for the standardisation of competency-based standards for population administration and civil registration (the pilot sector included in the DSF support for development of competency-based training). Also in this quarter, Diklat conducted training workshops on assessment, verification, and certification of competency-based standards for various units within MoHA (including the Directorate General for Population Administration, Directorate General for Regional Autonomy, Personnel Bureau, Organizational Bureau, Legal Bureau, Training and Education Centre), BKN, BNSP, Kemenpan, and local governments â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in total, some 26 representatives from central government and 24 representatives from local governments (50 total).

The Future of the DSF 28. Further discussions between government members of the DSF MC and the DSF Executive concerning the possible character of a post-September 2011 DSF work programme were held on 28 September 2010. It is likely that during the final quarter of 2010 there will be technical team and higher-level discussions within government about the possibilities and, subsequently, between government and donor members of the DSF. 29. If the outcome of the latter is positive, then design work will need to be done on fleshing-out a new programme and thinking through, and making detailed proposals concerning, funding and institutional and transition arrangements for the DSF.

DSF Engagement with Local Government 30. The DSF Local Government Consultative Group was launched formally by government in August. The general tenor of discussion at the launch was very constructive, open and pragmatic, revealing a genuine interest on the part of all concerned to establish a body that does meaningful and important work in the interests of improved service delivery to citizens. 31. This is an important development for the DSF, and for government, as it establishes a formal two-way channel of communication between central and local government on decentralization. It has considerable potential for making a significant contribution to the development and implementation of a post-September 2011 DSF work programme.

Monitoring Framework 32. Annex A summarises progress made to date according to the agreed monitoring framework.

Financial Status Snapshot 33.

A detailed financial report is set out in Annex B.

DSF Executive 36. The confirmation of the closure of the DSF in its current institutional location in September 2011 (for activities) and March 2012 (for wind-up and payments) and the intention to manage staffing levels (partly) through natural attrition were explained to all staff of the DSF Executive in late September 2010. The latter means that staff who find alternative employment and choose to resign from their positions may not be replaced. Any staff reductions are likely to be gradual and are not expected to affect adversely programme progress through to closure. All steps will be taken to optimise programme quality, including where necessary short-term appointments to assist with implementation supervision for particularly demanding activities and/or reallocation of responsibilities among staff.

Risk Management 37. The main risks associated with closure of the Facility have to do, first, with the need to accelerate speed of disbursement4 in the time remaining; and second, under these conditions, with the heightened challenges to maintaining implementation quality control. In order to mitigate these risks, and in addition to normal quality control measures, 3

Includes all programming and overhead costs (DSF Executive staff and office, and some operations costs). Activities must end by 30 September 2011, but a certain amount of overhead will be required during the (financial) wind-up period, October 2011 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; March 2012. 4 Historical levels of disbursement have been depressed by the extent of pre-implementation preparatory work that has had to be done over the last 18 months - in terms of programme and activity design and approval; and establishing necessary and sufficient conditions for different forms of execution.

detailed work and disbursement plans will form the basis of DSF Executive bi-weekly internal portfolio review meetings and the basis of regular discussion with relevant stakeholders; and, where it is warranted, additional short-term technical specialist and /or monitoring support will be given to the supervision of the implementation of activities.

Number of new guidelines (norms, standards, procedures and criteria) for service delivery completed/issued

Phase 1: Consultations held with regions in July 2009 for formulation 1 of 26 norms, standards, procedures and criteria (NSPK) in health. This resulted in confirmation that 10 out of 26 NSPK were defined as eligible for further action. Presently 5 out of the 10 NSPK have been issued by the Minister of Health as regulations including: hospital licensing; foreign health workers in Indonesia; and hospital classification. Assessment on the conformity of the 26 draft NSPK in health with Government Regulation 38/2007 resulted in prioritisation of at least 5 health functions for NSPK formulation. Brief assessments were also made of NSPK in other fields i.e. agriculture, trade, land management, energy and mineral resources. A key product of this activity is a paper on ―Exploring Reform Options in Functional Assignments,‖ which was completed in March 2008. The final report on the NSPK assessment was submitted in August 2009, marking the end of phase 1. The discussion process provided inputs for developing the Activity Concept Notes for phase 2. Phase 2: The Grant Agreement for ACN 11/2009 on Formulation of 2 Norms, Standards, Procedures and Criteria (NSPK) has been countersigned. The budget implementation document (DIPA) registration for 2011 is ongoing. Project adjustments will be finalised in the next quarter and procurement of NSPK specialists will commence. With regard to the Bank executed component, the contract for assessment of NSPK status with University of Gadjah Mada (UGM) has been signed. UGM is developing the methodology and activity implementation schedule, and a draft questionnaire and matrix for data collection are being prepared. Milestone 1.

The Local Government Affairs directorate within the Directorate General of Regional Autonomy has been restructured resulting in NSPK being managed by two directorates. The positioning of the NSPK activity within the directorate is under discussion. Staff in the project implementing unit have provided continuity for activity implementation.

Phase 1: A Manual for Minimum Service Standards (MSS) Costing 2 based on field testing of regional data was prepared by the Ministry of Health (MoH) in cooperation with MoHA and DSF. The manual was formalised by Minister of Health Decree 317/2009. DSF supported the printing of 1000 copies of the manual which was distributed to the regions by MoHA and MoH. An electronic instrument for MSS costing in health has been developed with assistance from DSF. After first testing the costing instrument Yogyakarta is now uploading MSS related data. MoHA, in cooperation with DSF, organised a seminar in commemoration of Regional Autonomy Day titled ―Creativity of

Regions in Improving Public Servicesâ&#x20AC;&#x2013;, which was opened by the Minister of Home Affairs. A television dialogue on the same theme was also organised. These events recognised regions and heads of regions for their creativity and innovative ideas as well as actions for improving public services. Regions were encouraged to be more creative and innovative in implementing their functions, and to more effectively document and disseminate experiences from service delivery and community improvements. It was also suggested that a revision of Law 32/2004 should encourage innovation by regions. 2 Phase 2: ACN 14/2009 on Capacity Development for Minimum Service Standards Costing and Implementation has changed method of execution from Recipient execution to Bank execution. Preparation for procurement of individual consultants for the revised activity is underway. A national seminar on â&#x20AC;&#x2022;Implementation of Minimum Service Standards Towards Achievement of Millennium Development Goals (MDGs)â&#x20AC;&#x2013; was conducted in June 2010. The objectives of this seminar were: (a) disseminate the issued MSS to regions to increase commitment of regions in MSS achievement; (b) launching of the capacity building programme on MSS costing and implementation; and (c) announcement of MSS as a national priority and effort in MDG achievement. The seminar was followed by discussions with pilot regions in preparation for Capacity Development for Minimum Service Standards Costing and Implementation activity. Several pilot regions confirmed their participation, others are likely to follow. The final report on application of MSS in the health sector was completed in August 2010. The activity report for the electronic data based system for costing minimum service standards in the health sector and the e-copy manual book and report were also completed in August 2010.

transferring electronic data from the regions to the MoF SIKD systems was completed in June 2010. In addition to transferring the data, the software is also designed for data entry purpose; the latter is an additional request from Directorate for Funding Evaluation and Regional Finance Information (EPIKD). After some revisions, the application was handed over to the Directorate of EPIKD, and installed at the Directorate‘s server in August 2010. A video manual was developed to provide guidance to regions on the procedures to submit the electronic data to the Directorate of EPIKD. The video manual was distributed to the districts in a workshop held in Semarang in September 2010. At the workshop a total of 18 districts submitted their electronic data. The workshop was also intended to socialise a new Government Regulation on sanction for districts that fail to submit financial reports in a timely manner. 

2.2. Improved fiscal decentralization policy

Implementation of ‗Grand Design of Fiscal Decentralization‘ across government ministries and local governments

Data entry for LRA 2007 was suspended by the government in order for it to focus on LRA 2008 instead. The current LRA 2007 data is thus, in effect, 100 percent complete (Milestone 1 and milestone 2 i).  For security reasons data entry for 2008 will be conducted by the government in-house. As a result DSF cannot be responsible for the completion of LRA 2008 data entry (Milestone 2 ii).  The goal of having 5 percent, or 25 districts, submit data electronically to the EPIKD by December 2010 has been surpassed. By the end of this reporting period, a total of 26 districts had submitted financial data electronically. (Milestone 2 iii) Capacity development in conducting regional financial analysis for Directorate of EPIKD staff completed. Short term training was held for 20 staff members in Bandung July 2010. Subsequent to the training, the participants completed a group paper on regional finance analysis. Eight short papers were produced and the four best presentations were presented to an audience including staff from other Directorates within DG Fiscal Balance.

In September 2010, EPIKD indicated its intent to outsource data entry for 2008; details on outsourcing arrangement are yet to be finalised between EPIKD and the DSF. Between October 2010 and June 2011, EPIKD intends to undertake 1-2 socialisation sessions at the provincial level to solicit additional local government‘s financial electronic datasets. These four papers will undergo another round of revisions prior to being posted on the DG Fiscal Balance website.

Inputs to the revision of Law 33/2004 are being provided through implementation of studies related to intergovernmental transfers, in particular on the general allocation funds (DAU), special allocation funds (DAK) and revenue sharing (DBH). Initial draft has been submitted for MoF review. Efforts to harmonize the GDFD (and respected inputs to the revision of Law 33/2004) with the revision of Law 32/2004 and, therefore, Grand Design for Regional Autonomy (GDRA) are currently underway. Draft for the revision of fiscal decentralization policy framework was submitted for MoF approval in July 2010. Preparation for workshop on legal status for GDFD is underway. Milestone 1 expect to be achieved in November 2010. 2.3. National policy on local government borrowing, including issuance of municipal bonds, adopted

Municipal bond issuance, including credit worthiness assessments

Phase 1: Review of Indonesian Civil Code on issues relating to debtor, 2 creditor, and bankruptcy/insolvency completed May 2009. Review of Regulatory Framework and Best Practices Study on Local Government Financial Emergency Procedures completed in December 2009. Support for revision of Government Regulations GR 54/2005: Local Government Borrowing and GR 57/2005: Local Government Granting, is complete. Draft revisions have been signed by the Ministry of Finance and are currently being discussed with the Ministry of Law and Human Rights (MLHR). Phase 2: Analysis and preparatory work for issuance of DKI Jakarta 2 and City of Bandung bonds:  Prefeasibility studies and draft terms of reference (kerangka acuan kegiatan/KAK) documents for the four projects to be funded by the proposed municipal Jakarta bond were completed in June 2010.  These four projects are: o provision of improved sewage facilities in the central business district and jalan Casablanca areas; o construction of an inter-city bus terminal at Pulo Gebang; o low-cost housing rehabilitation at Tanah Pasir; and o addition of a trauma wing at Pasar Rebo hospital. (total estimated value of the four projects is Rp 1.7 trillion in 2011 prices)  Two draft Perda (local regulation) to i) authorize a municipal bond issue and ii) establish a Satker (implementation unit) within the local government‘s financial unit to manage and administer the Jakarta bond were completed in June 2010.

Two rounds of discussions on revision of GR 54/2005 on local borrowing between MoF and MLHR took place in February, May and August 2010. Additional meetings are warranted to complete revision. Milestone 1. Credit worthiness assessment of two pilot municipalities for issuance of municipal bonds will be completed by an independent credit rating company by December 2010. Milestone 2. Dates for future discussions to finalise the GR will be determined by MLHR. It is expected that the revised GR will be signed by the President by late 2010 or early 2011. 2.4. Improved public financial management of special allocation funds (DAK) by local governments

Public financial analysis of DAK completed by selected local governments as a basis for local government planning and budgeting

Phase 1: Empirical analysis of regional government surpluses based on 1 data from 27 provinces and 220 districts and municipalities resulting in report with recommendations completed in June 2008. Empirical analysis on regional government investment in public infrastructure based on audited financial data for 2004-2007 completed in June 2009. Phase 2: A scoping mission was conducted in August 2010. Main issues and challenges related to the implementation of special autonomy 2 fund in Aceh were identified. Findings from the mission were discussed with DG Fiscal Balance counterpart. Agreement was reached to follow up the mission with a focus group discussion between central government and stakeholders in Aceh (provincial and districts) in November 2010.

Phase 2 was on hold until government approval was received in May 2010. Due to time constraints, MoF and DSF have agreed to limit the coverage of the study to only one province, Aceh. Implementation in the remaining 2 provinces, Papua and West Papua, as time permits. Consequently milestone 1, which mandates the activity to be completed in 3 provinces, may not be achieved and may need to be modified.

3.1. Effective legislative processes, resource allocation and oversight functions demonstrated in selected local legislatures

Number of provincial and district MPs, including women MPs, trained in legislative processes, budgeting and oversight

The DPRD Capacity Strengthening programme managed by the Local 1 Government Affairs section of the Directorate General of Regional Autonomy in MoHA progressed with the procurement of the implementing agency for training delivery. They reviewed the expressions of interest, developed the evaluation report for the short list, developed the draft Request for Proposals and obtained a No Objection Letter (NOL) from the World Bank. In the next quarter they will review the proposals, write the evaluation report, and submit their recommendation for NOL. The road show and MoU signing of local governments for this activity was postponed to the fourth quarter due to a re-shuffle in MoHA. The DPRD Capacity Strengthening program is now managed under the Local Government Affairs II (it has split into two sections) directorate with a new director. Initial coordination meetings are promising and the program is moving forward. A meeting with the Setwan (local legislature secretariats) of targeted regions is scheduled for October so that local legislatures can plan for participation in the training in their 2011 APBD budgets. The DPRD Orientation program managed by the MoHA Training and Education Center (Diklat) is moving forward as well. The Amendment to the Grant Agreement to accommodate this program has been signed and Diklat is working hard to include it in the DIPA revisions for 2010. Pending this attempt, the activity implementation will progress either in the fourth quarter of 2010 or first quarter of 2011 with a Training of Trainer and training in one of the four provinces included in the program. Milestone 1 150 local parliament representatives in 5 provinces with 30% women trained is expected to be met by the second quarter 2011

Changes in MoHA have led to some delays in activity implementation but overall the new leadership of both the DPRD capacity strengthening and DPRD orientation programs has managed the transition well.

ACN No. 9/2009 on Capacity Building through Decentralized 2 Education and Training approved for a total budget of USD 1.593,520.

Based on the positive result, the Selection Committee increased the number of scholarship awards from the initial 20 to 26 central and local government officials.

Implementation of study tours and short courses will be Bank executed. Discussions on the destination countries and program details are underway.

In September 2010 twenty-four5 scholars departed for the UK to pursue their studies at the following universities: University of Birmingham, University of Bradford, University of Bristol, University of Leeds, University of Newcastle, University of Southampton, and Birkbeck College University of London. The British Council will follow-up with the scholars on the development of action plans for the application of knowledge and skills acquired under the program upon return to their jobs in Indonesia. Milestone 1. 30 national, local government officials and CSO leaders expected to be trained by February 2011. 3.3. Local training and education centres demonstrated improvement in conducting training programmes for local government officials

Competency-based training programmes on decentralized public service delivery developed by local government training centres

In the past quarter, Diklat mobilised 3 competency based standard/human resource management consultants (international and national) and 1 training/capacity building specialist to assist the core Diklat team with implementation of the activity. They also hired 2 support staff to help with administration and finance. With a full team on board, Diklat commenced work on the development of a strategic framework for the formulation of national policies on local government competency standards. This involved MoHA, BKN (National Civil Service Agency), BNSP (National Professional Certification Agency), Kemenpan (Ministry of Administrative Reform), sectoral ministries, and local governments.

Although there has been restructuring within Diklat and the competency based training program has moved to a newly created unit of Diklat on standardization of training and education for government officials, the technical management of the program has continued without delay and Diklat is preparing for a second withdrawal of funds for implementation of the next phase of the activity.

Under Government Regulation 38/2007, the substance of the competency standards strategic framework for local governments should include: a. Mapping of the 31 integrated local government functions; b.

Publicly accessible data base on support to sub-national government developed.

Progress

In 2006, the Ministry of Home Affairs commissioned the DSF to create a donor mapping database (DMD) The purpose of the DMD is to track, monitor, analyze and prioritize aid rendered to Indonesia by the international donor community, and thereby serve as a valuable DSF knowledge management planning and monitoring tool for the government and members of the strategy formulated donor community. For the government and donors alike, it is clearly desirable to maintain such an up-to-date map of donor-supported activities, one that provides comparable data on key dimensions: matters addressed; geographic location; tools and approaches used; nature of assistance - whether loan/grant/Technical Assistance; monitoring frameworks; expected results; and so on. The database is available in both English and Bahasa Indonesia on the DSF web-site at http://www.dsfindonesia.org/apps/dsf-dm/cgi-bin/dw.cgi. The final phase of the activity is designed to institutionalise the database and its management in government. A consultant has been hired to: upgrade design features, increase and refine data content, and provide technical maintenance support; transfer responsibility for updating information online to individual donor agencies; and identify and hand over administrator rights and responsibilities to the â&#x20AC;&#x2022;ownerâ&#x20AC;&#x2013; entity in MoHA A draft DSF knowledge management strategy has been formulated and the DSF web page has been upgraded.
