The Government of Indonesia is committed to accelerating the pace of
poverty reduction. According to the newly enacted medium-term
development plan (Rencana Pembangunan Jangka Menengah, RPJMN,
2015-2019), the government aims to lower the poverty rate from 10.96% in
2014 to 7-8% by 2019. Indonesia has achieved significant reductions in
poverty to date, however more than 28 million Indonesians (11.13% of the
population) continue to live below the poverty line and 30% of the
population within 125% of the poverty line remain vulnerable to falling
back into poverty.
The Integrated Referral System (IRS) for Social Protection and Poverty Reduction
The
Government of Indonesia, under the leadership of Bappenas and Kemensos,
is creating an Integrated Referral System (IRS) to be operated at the
local level with the aim of improving coordination and integration of
social protection and anti-poverty programs at the local level. The IRS
proposes to address the current fragmentation and lack of coordination
of national and local social protection and anti-poverty programs, as
well as updating poverty database in a more regular way by providing
local governments with the tools to promote coordination of programs at
local levels and to make the programs more responsive and relevant to
local needs and desires. The IRS will allow local social workers or
facilitators to counsel families on where to seek assistance and what to
do, depending on the current programs they receive, their unmet needs
and the supply of programs available at national and local levels. The
IRS will also be a conduit for people to present complaints and
grievances to the different programs, and those complaints will be
tracked and monitored to make sure that complainants receive timely
responses to those complaints. Furthermore, the IRS will be in capacity
to inform national and local agencies about budget needs and priority
programs to address gaps in social protection of poor and vulnerable
people including abandoned women and children, disabled persons, elderly
poor with no social assistance and others.
The
IRS pilot project in 5 districts (Bantaeng, Belitung Timur, Sleman,
Sragen, and Sukabumi) was completed in June 2016 and since then being
scaled up to 50 districts/cities with APBN and APBD funding. In
addition, in West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) province, the IRS is being
implemented in all 10 districts and cities with funding from the
provincial government (APBD I) and the district/city level budget (APBD
II).
MAHKOTA
Indonesia—Menuju Masyarakat Indonesia Yang Kokoh Sejahtera (Towards a
Strong and Prosperous Indonesian Society)—aims to continue efforts begun
under the PRSF (Poverty Reduction Support Facility) support to help
Indonesia better reach and benefit the poorest as well as address key
binding constraints to growth, competitiveness and rising inequality
through ongoing labor market and social protection reforms.
By

national social protection system through better policies with
measurable improvements in welfare and coverage through three
overlapping outcomes:
Outcome 1: Quality of the national social protection system is improved;
Outcome 2: More comprehensive and joined up social protection and labor market policy is delivered; and
Outcome 3: Synergies with wider social and economic policy and planning are enhanced
