Indonesia Social Protection Reform
Canberra, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth, Brisbane, Darwin, Hobart
Australia has a long-standing partnership on social protection system reform with the Government of Indonesia, through the Office of the Vice President.
This proposed investment will be the successor program to MAHKOTA (Towards a Strong and Prosperous Indonesian Society; $87.8 million, 2015 -2023). MAHKOTA’s goal is ‘A comprehensive and equitable social protection system for the whole of Indonesia’. In this context, ‘system’ refers to the policies, programs and institutions that guide and implement Indonesia’s social protection programs. MAHKOTA supports the TNP2K (National Team for the Acceleration of Poverty Reduction) in the Office of the Vice President – a team of technical specialists providing evidence-based policy advice – and also supports a number of Ministries in key policy reform areas. The high-level Indonesian and international expertise provided through MAHKOTA supports the GoI to attempt complex policy reforms and trial new initiatives.
MAHKOTA has three End-of-Program-Outcomes (EOPOs):
(EOPO 1) Effective coverage of inclusive social protection and productive inclusion
(EOPO 2) Improved access to inclusive social protection
(EOPO 3) Contributions to macro-economic policy related to inequality and social protection.
A key feature of the current project is the support to TNP2K (The National Team for the Acceleration of Poverty Reduction / Tim Nasional Percepatan Penanggulangan Kemiskinan). TNP2K remains a highly effective local institution and is one of the few effective mechanisms to drive coordination and reform across the Indonesian government. Our support is an influential voice on social protection, poverty reduction and inclusive economic growth policy.
MAHKOTA will finish in February 2023. The current design is still valid. The initial term of the new agreement will be three years to 2026.
