Description

What is the public problem that the commitment will address? DPR RI has developed various platforms and applications for parliamentary openness to the public, including the Legislation Information System (SILEG), E-PPID, Rumah Aspirasi, SIMAS PUU and others. However, there are still many people who are not informed yet about this application and have not been informed about how it works and how the application has been developed by the parliament. DPR RI has made numerous efforts to disseminate these products and innovations, but it is not yet received a significant response from the public. For this reason, a new approach is called for to disseminate various innovations in parliamentary openness. This new approach takes the form of developing a more proactive media engagement and developing data driven journalism. This engagement aims not only to introduce parliamentary applications and information but also to provide opportunities for media crews in processing parliamentary information in accordance with journalism's objectives. Journalists and the media have wider outreach to the general public compared to parliament. The media also have various communication assets and strategies that are more creative and capable of attracting people's attention so that the involvement of the parliament with journalists and the media is crucial to promote the various applications and platforms of parliamentary openness to the public. Journalists and media crews have become partners who are consistently present in the parliament. However, their presence only covers the reporting of legislation and members of DPR RI and the implementation of DPR RI functions which have received wide public attention. Not many have covered DPR RI’s innovative product innovations, especially how it works and the services provided to the public. 90 The media have various communication assets and strategies that are more creative and capable of attracting people's attention so that the involvement of the parliament with journalists and the media is needed to promote the various applications and platforms of parliamentary openness to the public. What is the commitment? Promoting and disseminating information on various innovations in parliamentary openness to the public by involving journalists and the media. Milestone: 1. Formulating guidelines for the use of various applications and information systems for DPR RI for the public 2.

Data Journalism Hackathon b. Media Meeting and Visit c. Workshop on Media and Parliament d. Parliament Openness Innovation Competition How will the commitment contribute to solve the public problem? This commitment will encourage engagement and cooperation between parliament and journalists and the media to promote various products and innovations of openness to the public. Through this commitment, it is hoped that the parliament can reach a wider range of people who do not yet know the function and workings of the parliamentary openness application and platform they need. This collaboration is also expected to produce various forms of manuals or guidelines for the use of applications and innovative platforms for parliamentary openness such as infographics, comics, animations and videos that are much more interesting and communicative to the public. Why is this commitment relevant to OGP values? This commitment will bridge the function of journalists and media with DPR-RI to jointly support the Parliamentary Openness by promoting various innovations in parliamentary 91 openness through various collaborative activities. For this reason, the values covered are participation and innovation. Conformity with the Parliament Work Plan 4. DPR RI Strategic Plan for 2020-2024 5.

    Did it open government? No early results to report yet

    This commitment publicized open parliament initiatives through official media channels and website. However, the parliament openness innovation competition and journalism hackathon did not take place during the implementation period. [179] Efforts to formulate guidelines on public information regarding parliament remained underway after the end of the implementation period. [180] Implementation was led by the parliamentary Public Relations team, but its management line transfer from the News Unit to the Protocols Unit impacted funding for the commitment. [181]
