What are the current challenges/areas for improvement in open government that the jurisdiction wishes to tackle?

Currently, Banggai Regency has challenges in implementing Open Government in maximizing quality public services. These challenges relate to:

1. Maternal mortality rate in 2020 increased to 263 per 100,000 births or 16 cases. This is caused by the non-optimal health service for expectant mothers due to the lack of communication between the mothers with the midwives/health workers due to social restriction during COVID19 pandemic
2. The poverty rate in 2020 decreased to 7,39% (28,160 people) from 7,80% in 2019. This figure is still categorised as high, especially in the villages.
3. Data management in Banggai Regency is not yet optimum, such as data coordination between government institutions is not integrated and updated and the insufficient capacity of human resource to coordinate, gather, process, analyse and utilise the data
4. The household waste is relatively high at 279,35 m3/day. Organic and inorganic waste are not selected, processed or recycled and leave them hoard without economic value

What are the medium-term open government goals that the government wants to achieve?

The implementation of medium-term open government goals in Banggai Regency aims to:

1. The improvement of public service, especially the health service for the expectant mothers
2. The improvement of the accountability and transparencyAccording to OGP’s Articles of Governance, transparency occurs when “government-held information (including on activities and decisions) is open, comprehensive, timely, freely available to the pub... More of the Government service, especially regarding the accessible data for the public
3. The eradication of poverty rate through the increased participation and the economic empowerment for the villagers
4. The increase of natural environment quality

The Local Open Government Action Plan in Banggai Regency is expected to contribute to :

1. The action plan will involve inclusive community participation, especially from housewives in the villages and cities, farming women, poor, elder and the expectant mothers. The plan is targeted to push housewives to be able to support the family through income improvement and the fulfillment of food and nutrition within families independently that will lead to the decrease of poverty rate
2. The health workers are able to monitor the expectant mothers’s health through the utilisation of technology information system to decrease the maternal mortality rate for mothers and babies
3. The improvement of data management to provide access to relevant data and information for stakeholders and public, students and investors. This action plan will use information technological systems to provide open and accessible data.
4. The waste management from households through reduce, reuse and recycle program will decrease the workload and increase the service life of the Waste Final Processing Site.

How does the open government strategic vision contribute to the accomplishment of the current administration’s overall policy goals?

We believe that the strategic vision of the Open Government in the Banggai Regency will have an impact on priority improvements in public service governance, namely:
