In line with the main missions, the scope of YIPD activity covers five main areas:
1. Local Government Institutional/Organizational Development, which includes (but is not limited to) activities such as:
• Facilitation of Local Government’s Business Entry and Licensing Simplification. Technical assistances are conducted to DKI Jakarta and Jakarta Pusat Government in regards to Business Entry and Licensing Simplification, and in Denpasar, Tabanan, Tulungagung and Samarinda. The objectives of the project are: to help foster business growth by improving the quality and coherence of business registrations in Indonesia, provide support and targeted assistance to the Government of Indonesia that will reduce time and cost of business registration and licensing. The sub-national deregulation program is designed to assist local governments in improving efficiency of business registration and licensing services especially on the relevant paperwork needed to start a business.
• West Nusa Tenggara Good Local Governance Award. The main project named Good Local Governance Award, contributes to the testing, institutionalization and dissemination of exemplary innovations in the field of local and regional governance. In NTB the project has supported the provincial government to launch, organize and implement a Good Governance Award Process that invites local governments of the province to get involved as participants and receive facilitation and advice from the project to improve upon selected governance practices. The most outstanding one will be acknowledged through a GG award.
• Local Government Institutional Needs Assessment, which is conducted in the form of technical assistance as support to local governments in identifying their needs and priorities and restructuring their organization in response to decentralization policies. YIPD provided training of trainers (ToT), workshops, toolkits and other forms of long-term technical assistance, among others to the kabupaten (district) government of Lombok Timur (West Nusa Tenggara), for their institutional needs assessment.
• Developing Local Government Nomenclature and Legal Framework. Government Regulation regarding the Organizational Structure of regional governments mandates local governments adjust their structure following a specific set of guidelines, criteria and standards. YIPD assists local governments in implementing institutional needs assessments and preparing follow-up action plans, which include identification and development of new and appropriate nomenclature and establishing appropriate legal frameworks enabling local governments to implement the new policies.
2. Local Government General Management, which includes (but is not limited to) activities such as:
• Building Performance Management Systems, wherein YIPD provides expert technical assistance and workshops to local governments with the objective of effectively improving local government public services by having clear performance indicators, which are developed with inputs from various stakeholders, including the serviced customers.
• Developing Strategic Plan, with technical assistance from YIPD, to strengthen local governments’ capacity to build comprehensive plans in a participatory manner. Key issues in the design of an overall planning process and subsequent implementation are discussed, and a step-by-step guide is provided to the local working groups. The planning stage is considered critical because a number of current problems in the field could actually be avoided if more careful thought were given during the planning stage.
• Devising Minimum Service Standards, in relation with local government efforts to fulfill performance budgeting criteria, performance benchmarks are needed. Local government officials need to completely understand systems and mechanisms for measuring minimum service standards. YIPD guides and provides counseling for local government officials to develop performance benchmarks.
3. Human Resources Management, which includes (but is not limited to) activities such as:
• Human Resources Planning, which is conducted in the form of technical assistance to prepare human resource needs based on locally developed Strategic Plans (Renstra), and to determine steps required to ensure availability of suitable candidates when they are needed.
• Training Need Analysis, which is the logical next step of Human Resources Planning. Detailed analysis of roles and responsibilities, and an accompanying development program required by current human resources to perform their tasks, is conducted. This program is provided in the form of technical assistance.
• Change Management, where YIPD provides workshops and technical assistance to change the mind-set of local government officials from a bureaucratic frame-of-thinking to a more entrepreneurial mind-set. This step is important key in the decentralization process. For years the country’s centralized system did not provide local government officials incentive for taking initiative, being creative, and participating in the decision making process as well as no acknowledgement of their competencies which are now vital for decentralization to succeed.
4. Local Government Financial Management, which includes (but is not limited to) offerings such as:
• Performance Budget Assistance to increase local government capacity to meet the conditions of Government Regulation, which calls for performance budgets. Because of this requirement, and a lack of technical understanding at the local level, demand for this service is high and urgently needed.
• Developing Financial Statements. Local governments are expected to publish audited annual financial statements. YIPD’s technical team supports local governments in developing financial statements through training and counseling ensuring local government officials are ready to prepare auditable financial statement.
• Designing Property Asset Management to increase the value of property assets owned by local governments. By introducing contemporary methods of asset management, a local government can address many of its concerns, including methods of increasing local budget revenues, ways for making the city more attractive to private investors, and mechanisms to increase local government credibility with local citizens.
5. Policy Analysis and Research, which includes (but is not limited to) activities such as:
• Participatory Poverty Assessment (PPA) in West Java and South Sulawesi. PPA in West Java and South Sulawesi is conducted in order to gather information on poverty based on poor people perception as well as collecting information or evaluation on anti-poverty programs implemented by government in several regions in Indonesia.
