UNSDI Gazetteer Framework for Social Protection in Indonesia

The Gazetteer Framework Project aims to improve integration of, access to and use of data held in different government systems- through the development of a framework to manage gazetteers (directories of place names or identifiers with associated location information). The Gazetteer Framework is envisaged to provide a mechanism to link spatial data to support a range of development, humanitarian and environmental activities at different scales. The disparate systems which require integration to support operational outcomes typically employ different approaches to the use of gazetteers. Consequently, it is time-consuming and expensive to discover, access, interpret, transform and integrate information from different sources referenced using different gazetteers. Furthermore, when data changes the process must be repeated. A particular challenge in this process is the interpretation and matching of spatial identifiers across multiple datasets i.e. determining whether different data sources are using the same or different place names and associated locations/boundaries to reference information. Therefore, to enable multi-sector analysis and the development of coherent, complimentary, multi-sectoral responses, it is critical that the spatial dimension of information held by agencies working in different sectors can be easily understood. This project aims to re-engineer gazetteer data management, publishing and access mechanisms through the use of “game changers” in computing and networking (ICT) infrastructure. These include the use of LinkedData mechanisms and “cloud computing” to provide a ubiquitous, Web accessible and flexible infrastructure for to enable the resolving of spatial location identifiers providing links to definitions, spatial representations and related data. The project is being funded by the Australian Agency for International Development (AusAID) and the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO)and is initially focused on supporting Social Protection outcomes in Indonesia. The project has been jointly developed by CSIRO and the Office of the Assistant Secretary-General and Chief Information Technology Officer (ASG/CITO) of the UN Secretariat and is a deliverable of the Centre of Excellence for UN Spatial Data Infrastructure (CoE4UNSDI). The CoE4UNSDIaims to support development of standards and best practice methodologies for provisioning core datasets used within the UN System by strengthening capacities to create, maintain and publish spatial information. Within this context the UN Gazetteer Framework aims to provide standardised and easily exploitable means to reference geographic locations to support applications of the UNSDI. As part of the UNSDI Standards and Best Practices activity the project intends to collaborate with relevant expert groups including UNGEGN. UNGEGN members are encourage to actively participate in this project and plan to avail themselves of the infrastructure being developed to support their ongoing activities. Demonstrations of the Gazetteer Framework will be provided during the UNCSGN and UNGEGN members are invited to discuss collaboration potentials with the project team members.

Indonesia?s Single Registry for Social Protection Programmes

2015

Indonesia began to implement targeted social assistance programmes for both households and individuals in the aftermath of the 1997 Asian financial crisis. The crisis had halted Indonesias economic growth and caused a sharp rise in domestic prices?particularly for food items, which led to a rapid and significant increase in poverty. The massive economic and social impacts of the crisis required a rapid roll-out of large-scale social assistance programmes, collectively termed the Social Safety Net (JPS), to protect households and communities that were most affected and to prevent the further spread of poverty. Such programmes relied on locally validated data from the National Family Planning Coordination Board and were largely pro-poor, although several targeting issues emerged. (?)

This article analyses the impact and effectiveness of social assistance policies type on poverty alleviation and inequality reduction in Indonesia. besides, we analyzed the distribution of each social assistance policy benefit in Indonesia. The impact analysis was carried out using the benefit incidence analysis by using household surveys (Susenas) data in March 2017, while problems in the fields were collected from literature and mass media analyses. The results indicate that social assistance in Indonesia impacted on alleviating poverty and reducing inequality, as well as absolute progressive in nature. Rastra is the ablest to reduce poverty and inequality compared to Paket Keluarga Harapan (PKH) and Program Indonesia Pintar (PIP). However, further improvements are needed to overcome the leakage in the distribution of social assistance. Literature and mass media reviews showed that data on recipients of social assistance were not up to date and disbursement of assistance violated existing regulations.

Social Protection Programs for Poverty Reduction in Indonesia (1999 - 2005)

2009

After several golden years of development that significantly reduced poverty in Indonesia, the 1997/1998 crisis had made poverty a major issue again in Indonesia's national development agenda. Some studies indicated that a significant number of people lived just around the poverty line so that any shock to their livelihood might slip them into poverty or deepen their poverty status (Suryahadi and Sumarto: 2003; Pritchett at al., 2000). In order to solve the problem, the government of Indonesia makes poverty reduction as one of its main targets, with one of its pillars relies on the provision of social protection especially for the poor. Unlike programs the previous era, in which the poor were never specifically targeted except in that of IDT (Inpres Desa Tertinggal-Presidential Aid for Disadvantageous Areas) program introduced by Soeharto administration in 1994/1995, many post-crisis programs were created to directly target the poor. Started with the introduction of social safety nets (SSNs) during the crisis period, the government of Indonesia (GoI) continues to maintain and improve its poverty reduction programs as also required by the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). In terms of budget, for instance, national spending for poverty related programs increased significantly from around Rp 15 trillion in 2001 to more than Rp 50 trillion in 2007. Nevertheless, it is important to look more deeply at how these programs have been implemented so far. How effective had the programs been so far at reaching the targeted poor and helping them move out of poverty? Thus, lessons can be learned for better preparation of social protection programs to respond to the current crisis. 2005 No Activities Target (num. of students) Unit Cost Total Cost 1 BKM (January-June

Too many Stages, Too Little Time: Bureaucratization and Potential Impasse in the Social Safety Net Program in Indonesia

Jurnal Studi Pemerintahan, 2020

Since its first announcement in March 2020, the number of positive confirmed patients as well as patients under surveillance has increased exponentially. Recognizing the impact of Covid-19 on the poor, the government reallocated expenditure budget by increasing the amount of aid to the community. This paper focuses on social safety net policies, mainly in Sembako Program as noncash social aid. This aid is actually not any new programs, as it have been around since 2017, but the Covid-19 pandemic is adding to the economic burden of the household so the aid is increased in amount. This paper puts the emphasis on how the actual social safety net policy must be implemented, not only look at how policies are carried out, but also look at how policies should be carried out, as well as predict their impact when they are done. It is undeniable that the problem of bureaucratization always comes up in every policy, with no exception for social aid policy. By mapping out obstacles, this paper provide a number of key solutions for resolving the problem
