ABND at different levels
National level
• Awareness building on SPF (Indonesian Job Pact, DWCP)
• Advocacy and bilateral meeting (Vice President’s office, TNP2K,
Bappenas)
• Consultative meetings (finalizing the assessment matrix)
• Validation and knowledge sharing workshops
• Technical/endorsement meeting
Provincial level (Maluku, NTT and East Java provinces)
• Awareness raising on SPF
• Consultative meetings (finalizing the assessment matrix)
• Validation workshops
• Follow-up meeting for implementation of Single Window
Service
Lessons from ABND in Indonesia
• ABND should be aligned with national priorities: for the
development of a comprehensive social security system. This
is especially important for financing, extending coverage to
informal economy workers, SJSN (National Social Security
System), BPJS (Social Security Service Providers) and Poverty
Reduction Programme.
• All relevant stakeholders should be involved from the start:
for ownership of the report, to help in endorsement and
sustainability. As a result of the ABND, the Maluku and East
Java provincial governments earmarked budgets for the SWS
implementation, and Jember district made SWS a poverty
alleviation strategy.
Lessons from ABND in Indonesia
• Involving the UN sub-working group and stakeholders: in
consultative meetings helps obtain inputs on cross-cutting
issues and generate ideas, including for further technical
cooperation.
• Identifying one lead agency: or Ministry to lead the process
and “buy-in” the result is key to endorsement of the ABND
recommendations in the national strategy.
Lessons from ABND in Indonesia
• Involving the media: through press releases on workshops
and meetings, briefings, expert interviews, and radio and TV
coverage helps influence public debate and policy
development.
Unified service proposed for social protection program
The Jakarta Post | National | Thu, December 15 2011
With duplications in social protection programmes delivered
by different government agencies, developing a Single Window
Service for the beneficiaries was critical to ensure their
effectiveness, experts have said.
Limitations of ABND in Indonesia
• Participatory vs. extension of the ABND report launch to
accommodate more feedback?
• Reservation of the point of view that the SPF encourages
informality instead of the other way around
• How to make the ABND exercise coherent with Indonesia’s
current social security development programme?
