1.3 Please select one option that best describes the commitment:
a new regulationGovernment reformers are developing regulations that enshrine values of transparency, participation, and accountability in government practices. Technical specifications: Act of creating or reforming ..., policy, practice, or requirement.
Provide a brief explanation of your answer:
Manunggal Raharja constitutes a new institutionalized policy and data governance system, ensuring unified, evidence-based poverty handling across government levels. It changes how welfare data is managed, shared, and used for policymaking, thus making it a binding framework within the regional poverty alleviation system.
1.4 Please select one option that best describes the commitment:
will result in a change of the rules, practices, or policies that govern a policy area, public sector, and/or relationship between citizens, and is binding or institutionalized across government or specific institution(s).
Provide a brief explanation of your answer:
The Poverty Handling Data Integration initiative will result in a significant change in how poverty-related data is governed and used across government institutions. Previously, poverty and social welfare data in Yogyakarta were fragmented, inconsistent, and dispersed across multiple agencies, each using different formats and systems. This situation created inefficiencies, duplication, and delays in decision-making and targeting social assistance.
Through this commitment, the government institutionalizes a unified and integrated data management system under the Manunggal Raharja platform. This system establishes new rules and standard operating procedures for data synchronization, validation, and sharing among provincial and district/city governments.
The process also promotes cross-agency collaboration and introduces regular mechanisms for data verification and public reporting, ensuring transparency and accountability in poverty reduction programs.
1.5 Are there any recommended changes to the design of the commitment to help improve its implementation?
This commitment is also well-designed and impactful, with clear objectives to improve data accuracy and coordination among agencies involved in poverty reduction. The implementation framework already supports transparency and evidence-based policymaking.
Small refinements could involve enhancing inter-agency coordination mechanisms for data interoperability and increasing public access to dashboards or progress reports to sustain accountability.

2.2 Does the commitment language/activities clearly justify relevance to OGP values?
Yes
Provide a brief explanation of your answer:
This commitment is also strongly aligned with OGP values, as it operationalizes open and collaborative governance in the disaster management sector:
- Transparency: The application provides clear, accessible information about disaster risks, incidents, and preparedness levels in educational institutions. Making such data available supports informed decision-making by schools, parents, and communities.
- Public Accountability: With transparent disaster data, education authorities and local governments can be more easily held accountable for preparedness measures, response protocols, and follow-up actions after an incident. This accountability fosters safer and more resilient schools.
- Public Participation: Teachers, students, and school communities can contribute data, report incidents, and participate in risk assessment activities through the platform. Their engagement ensures the system reflects real conditions and local knowledge, reinforcing a culture of collective preparedness.
- Technology and Innovation: The digital platform itself is an innovative solution, using technology to bridge information gaps and strengthen coordination between education and disaster management stakeholders. It introduces new ways of collecting and sharing data in real time.
2.3 Please select one option that best describes the commitment:
a new regulation, policy, practice, or requirement.
Provide a brief explanation of your answer:
Jogja Digdaya is a new practice and policy framework that institutionalizes coordinated, data-driven disaster management in the education sector with the potential to become a formal regulation as it scales across government.
2.4 Please select one option that best describes the commitment:
will result in a change of the rules, practices, or policies that govern a policy area, public sector, and/or relationship between citizens, and is binding or institutionalized across government or specific institution(s).
Provide a brief explanation of your answer:
The Disaster Data Application for Educational Units, by Jogja Digdaya, represents a transformative change in how disaster preparedness and data management are governed within the education sector in Yogyakarta.
Previously, disaster preparedness in educational units lacked a coordinated data system; each school and agency relied on separate practices with limited communication and data sharing. The absence of a unified platform resulted in inconsistent reporting, unclear emergency protocols, and low awareness of vulnerability levels across schools.
Through this commitment, Jogja Digdaya institutionalizes a standardized, collaborative mechanism for collecting, managing, and analyzing disaster-related data in schools. The platform brings together education offices, schools, and disaster management agencies to co-create shared practices and standard operating procedures for preparedness and rapid response. By embedding Jogja Digdaya into government workflows and ensuring continuous data integration across sectors, the initiative establishes new rules and collaborative practices that are binding and sustainable within the local governance framework. Over time, the use of the application will become a binding operational standard in managing disaster data for educational institutions and potentially a model for replication at the national level.
2.5 Are there any recommended changes to the design of the commitment to help improve its implementation?
No major design changes are recommended, as the commitment has been well-structured and effectively implemented.
The initiative successfully integrates disaster-related data for schools, promotes preparedness, and encourages collaboration between the education and disaster management sectors. Minor improvements could include expanding training and engagement for schools to ensure consistent data input and increasing integration with regional disaster systems for real-time updates. Overall, the design already demonstrates strong innovation, inclusiveness, and clear alignment with OGP values.
