Indonesia’s Development Challenge 









Indonesia is a middle income countries, with a 230 million of population. Yet, Indonesia continues to face significant development challenges, especially in the areas of poverty reduction, service delivery and decentralization. Poverty rates have fallen to 14.1% in 2009, yet large numbers of Indonesians remain poor and vulnerable. Regional disparities are a key feature of poverty in the country, given the vast size and varying conditions in different parts of the country. Further efforts is still needed for Indonesia to meet all the MDG targets. The implementation of decentralization remains complex and continues to pose challenges. Enormous efforts is still needed to address climate change issues (mitigation and adaption) 4

ODA Contribution to Development Effectiveness 

 



The main constraint : not the lack of financial resources but the need to translate the existing resources into better development outcomes  to maximize the effectiveness of all its resources committed to development, including external assistance. Total all grants and loans less than 5% of government spending; How can ODA contribute to development effectiveness? • To ensure more effective and efficient utilization of domestic resources  to access international knowledge and best practice, and to enhance institutional capacity, • To establish systems that are up to standards of international best practice. It is about putting the right systems in place. Indonesia would like to : • Participate in and influence international aid architecture from a MIC perspective • Maximize impact of declining Official Development Assistance for development effectiveness • Expand partnerships with alternative forms of finance 5
