Institutionalize and increase capacity of Open Parliament Indonesia (ID0134)

What is the public problem that the commitment will address? In the 2018-2020 National Action Plan for the Openness of the Indonesian Parliament (OPI), DPR RI has formed the OPI Team as the main instrument in implementing OPI NAP. This team consists of DPR RI Leadership / Members assisted by DPR RI Secretariat General, as well as representatives of civil society. The OPI team and Secretariat General of the DPR RI will ensure that the NAP OPI is implemented and has budget and adequate supporting resources. However, there are still some aspects that have not been achieved, including the management of the OPI Team, the Secretariat and the External Open Parliament Community (CSOs, IO and non parliamentary stakeholders) , building a repository in accordance with OGP standards and strengthening the OPI work unit. These aspects are crucial to ensure that the implementation of the Openness of Parliament can run smoothly. What is the commitment? Increasing the capacity and performance of the Open Parliament Indonesia (OPI) Team and Secretariat consisting of DPR RI Leaders / Members, Secretariat General, and representatives of civil society in accordance with OGP standards and provisions. Milestone: 1. Strengthening the OPI Work Unit (Team and Secretariat) by assigning a Support Unit for the Secretariat General according to OGP standards 2. Strengthening OPI Cooperation with CSOs and outside stakeholders 3. Developing OPI repository 94 4. Peer Learning Forum(s) Open MPs Information, Transparency and Accountability 5. Formulating a governance mechanism for the OPI Team, Secretariat and the External Open Parliament Community 6. Feasibility Study on DPR RI Call Center Services in two years term. How will the commitment contribute to solve the public problem? Public demand for the parliament that is increasingly transparent and participatory is getting higher amid the rapid development of information and technology. For this reason, DPR RI needs to strengthen various internal aspects that can support and improve their performance both in terms of systems, bureaucracy, human resources, providing facilities and infrastructure for a more open parliament. Why is this commitment relevant to OGP values? This commitment will improve the capacity of DPR RI in community participation and co-creation in building an increasingly open parliament. At the same time, involvement of the public in the Open Parliament structure will increase the transparency and accountability of parliament to the public. Conformity with the Parliament Work Plan 1. DPR RI Strategic Plan for 2020-2024 2. This formation is in line with the DPR RI’s plan to initiate a “Modern Parliament,” namely a parliament that is representative, transparent and uses information technology.

This commitment intended to enhance the performance of the OPI Secretariat. During the implementation period, the secretariat remained in place, but struggled to adhere to OGP standards. ^[182] An OPI repository was developed, but implementation data on commitments were not up to date. ^[183] The commitment’s other milestones stalled. IRM did not find evidence that implementers conducted the intended feasibility study on a parliamentary call center or peer learning forums on information transparency and accountability. In terms of cooperation with CSOs and other stakeholders, communication with the OPI chair was limited. ^[184] Following the arrest of the former OPI chair by KPK in a corruption case in late 2021, ^[185] the OPI Secretariat have had difficulty in opening a communication channel with the new chair. ^[186]
