Description

What is the public problem that the commitment will address? In June 2019, the President issued Presidential Regulation No. 39 of 2019 concerning One Data Indonesia. This Presidential Regulation requires the harmonization of data obtained by each ministry and agency, so that it is more accurate, up to date, integrated, accountable, accessible, and shareable. This policy is a form of the government's seriousness in running an integrated open government from the regional to the national level. In implementing One Data Policy, there are challenges in terms of institutional, sectoral egos, bureaucratic problems and relations/coordination, central-regional relations, the technical problems related to production-format and data protection etc. However, this problem must be resolved wisely, because various policies, development programs, and all kinds of public services for the community require robust and accurate data to be right on target, effective and efficient as well as meet the targets and quality of the main development goals. One Data Indonesia must be able to show the achievements of various development programs and be used not only for policy makers at the central level, but also to the smallest government units in the village. What is the commitment To oversee the implementation of the One Data Indonesia policy and encourage coordination, monitoring and evaluation in the implementation of the One Data Indonesia policy at the sub-national level through the preparation of the One Data Indonesia local action plan. How will the commitment contribute Information disclosure and availability of valid, complete, accurate, and integrated development data are essential as 16 to solving the public problem? one of the crucial instruments in achieving an open and informative government. Why is this commitment relevant to OGP values? This program will support Open Government values, namely transparency and accountability. Up-to-date and open data integration will make it easier for the government to create policies that are more targeted and enable better public participation. Why is this commitment relevant to Indonesian Medium-Term National Development Plan (RPJMN) and SDGs? This commitment will support government policies in digital transformation, using global technology that is cross-sectoral in the planning, implementation, monitoring and performance evaluation processes. In the 2020-2024 RPJMN, the government will encourage the implementation of One Indonesian Data in the context of utilizing interconnected, standardized, and shareable data, as well as using analysis from big data to improve the accuracy of planning, performance implementation of development and the accuracy of development supervision. Also, this commitment is related to the target of SDGs No. 16: "Strengthening an Inclusive and Peaceful Society for Sustainable Development, Providing Access to Justice for All, and Building Effective, Accountable and Inclusive Institutions at All Levels", especially in Target 16.6: Developing effective, accountable and transparent institutions at all levels and Target 16.10 Ensure public access to information and protect fundamental freedoms, following national regulations and international agreements.

    Following introduction of the national One Data Policy in 2019, [28] this commitment completed development of One Data local action plans in seven pilot regions: the Provinces of West Nusa Tenggara, Riau, and East Java; the City of Semarang; the Regencies of Banggai, West Sumbawa, and Brebes. Five of these pilot regions were selected because of their participation as OGP local members. [29] The action plans were developed in consultation with civil society organizations—particularly MediaLink, Publish What You Pay Indonesia, Community Solidarity for Transparency (Somasi), and Transparency International Indonesia —alongside the One Data Indonesia (SDI) Secretariat. The secretariat also provided preparatory assessment studies on each pilot region’s legal basis for One Data, data management, portal management, and level of preparedness for integration of the regional portal and SDI portal, focusing on existing data and infrastructure. [30] Overall, this commitment had a limited geographic scope among Indonesia’s 38 provinces, 98 cities, and 416 regencies.

    In terms of the commitment’s local impact, implementation of its action plans varied. Each of the pilot regions issued a gubernatorial regulations or regent/mayoral decrees on One Data [31] and established an open data forum—responsible for coordinating data among the regional government’s units and guiding implementation. East Java’s forum was only established in December 2021, due to funding challenges. [32] Each region also identified thematic data to release based on local priorities (for example, on natural resources or poverty). These datasets differed from national-level datasets and were not comparable across regions. [33] By the end of the implementation period, the regions were still awaiting technical guidance on financial data from the central government. Riau, [34] Semarang, [35] West Nusa Tenggara, [36] and East Java [37] established One Data portals and publicly released accessible raw data or data summaries, including budget summaries. The Regency of Banggai developed a portal, but had not yet used it to publish detailed data by May 2023. [38] The Regencies of Brebes and West Sumbawa had not started portal development by the end of 2022. [39] Capacity building and assistance from the SDI Secretariat faced challenges in Banggai, Brebes, West Sumbawa, and Semarang as the One Data Policy’s scope is limited to only provincial governments at subnational level. [40] CSO funding and issues communicating with local governments also limited involvement in data production. [41]
