  2. Programs Related to Poverty Reduction

  3. Ministerial Task Force (TKPK) • Launched in 2005 • A cross-sectors forum • Expected to accommodate all efforts to reduce poverty • Consisting of: • 19 ministers • 3 head of bureau and • other non-governmental members • Chair: Coordinating Minister of People’s Welfare • TKPK offices are also established at provincial and district level

  4. Under TPKP framework, since 2008, all programs dealing with poverty reduction have been coordinated into 3 clusters of program

  5. Cluster I Cluster II Cluster III Micro-enterprises Empowerment Aim: to increase savings & business sustainability of SMEs Social Assistance Aim: to reduce economic cost burden of the poor Community Empowerment Aim: to increase the poor’s income & affordability Main Instruments: Rice for the poor, Health Card, CCT, scholarship for the poor. Other Instruments: Social assistance for disabled, elderly, children, etc. Targets in 2009: 18.5 million the near poor, poor, and very poor households. Main Instruments: Credit for the People (KUR) Targets in 2009: US$ 2 billion for 4 million microcredit recipients Main Instruments: PNPM Mandiri (National Community Empowerment Program) PPK, P2KP, PPIP, PISEW, etc. Targets in 2009: 6,408 villages “Provide fishing rod and boat” “Giving a fish” “Train how to fish”

  6. The Drawback of TKPK (Ministerial Task Force) • Poor coordination across ministries • Most ministers are from different political parties and interest groups • Conveying diverse poverty alleviation and agenda • Bureaucratic fragmentation • Financial limitations • Weak deciding power

  7. Special Task force • In Mid 2010 TKPK changed its name into the national team for poverty reduction acceleration (TNP2K). • Three main tasks: • To formulate the poverty reduction policy and program, • To make the poverty reduction activities more synergic between ministries and institutions, • To perform the monitoring and evaluation function. • Led directly by the Vice President • The office is next to the Vice President office • Vice President checks the progress in every two weeks

  8. Head :Vice President Deputy I : Coordinating Minister of People’s Welfare Deputy II : Coordinating Minister of Economic Affairs Members Executive Secretary: Welfare Affairs Deputy of Vice President Secretary Cluster 1: Household based Integrated Social Assistance (Vice President Office) Cluster 2: Community Empowerment based Social Assistance / PNPM Mandiri (Coordinating Ministry of People’s Welfare) Cluster 3: Micro-enterprises Empowerment based Social Assistance (Coordinating Ministry of Economic Affairs)

  9. Institutional Issues on CCT program

  10. CCT program in Indonesia • Known as Family of Hope Program (PKH). • Implemented since 2007. • Transferring funds directly to women. • Employing 12 health and education indicators. • In 2010 covers around 800,000 poor households.

  11. Institutional Issues of PKH • At central government: between ministries • Between central and local governments • At village level

  12. Between Ministries • PKH is a demand driven program. • Managed by The Ministry of Social Affairs (MoSA) • Inter-sectors coordination is provided by a central coordinating team • MoSA is considered as lack of credibility compared to other ministries • Difficult to ensure other ministries' support and commitment

  13. Between Central and Local Governments • PKH is a central government program. • Indonesia is a very decentralized country with autonomy lies at the district government. • PKH has been implemented only at selected districts. • There is an MOU between central and district governments. • Low level of local governments’ commitment (‘business as usual’). • District health and education offices follow strategies from their line ministries and local government policy.

  14. At village level • Service providers at the village level follow policies at the district level. • Lack of information at services providers • Extra burden no additional compensation • Resulted in the virtual absence of compliance monitoring.
