SOW – KINERJA WEBMASTER

Background:

The USAID-funded Local Governance Service Improvement Program (Kinerja) seeks to apply good governance incentives and innovations in public service delivery at the district and community level. It focuses on basic education, basic health care, mother and childcare, and one stop services to improve business licensing. Kinerja seeks to build on existing innovations and training packages developed by ministries, donors, and communities. It enriches them with complementary tailor-made governance interventions and establishes an environment for their replication. In building on existing innovations the Kinerja Program focuses on stimulating both demand for as well as enhancing capacities and mechanisms for improved public service

delivery in the health, education and economic development sector.

More specifically, Kinerja aims to encourage service delivery that (a) is effectively and efficiently managed by local government agencies operating at different levels of the education, health and business enabling system (district, sub-district, and school levels); and (b) has strong civil society agencies that effectively voice the aspirations of all stakeholders. The project seeks to promote local government management practices that are transparent, participatory, responsive and accountable (i.e., practices that are guided by principles of good governance). It encourages productive partnerships with civil society and work through various mechanisms such as social media technology.

Kinerja works with twenty districts in four provinces and identifies, tests, and documents a set of performance incentives and public service innovations that will improve the education of children and health of families and make it easier to open a local business. Governance aspects take up an important role in this. Kinerja envisions to establish a model of "good governance" in Indonesian local governments defined by measurable improvements.

The Kinerja Program is made up of a consortium of implementing partners (The Asia Foundation, Social Impact, Kemitraan, Gadjah Mada University and Smeru Research Institute) and is led by Research Triangle Institute (RTI International). The Kinerja Office is located in the BRI II building and currently manages programming in four provinces: Aceh, West Kalimantan, South Sulawesi and East Java.

The Kinerja Website is established to provide the interested public easy access to information related to the Kinerja project.

The Website will

• Store information about the Kinerja program, its vision, mission and activities.
