PEACH Program Officer
Background
1. BaKTI was launched in September 2004 as the knowledge exchange unit
of the multi-donor Support Office for Eastern Indonesia (SOfEI) and was
administered by the World Bank through various single donor and
multi-donor trust fund arrangements. On 24 August 2009, in order to
strengthen local ownership and for future sustainability, BaKTI
established itself as a Foundation (Yayasan Bursa Pengetahuan Kawasan
Timur Indonesia or Yayasan BaKTI) under Indonesian law. The official
launch of Yayasan BaKTI took place on 8 February 2010.
2. Yayasan BaKTI focuses on expanding local knowledge on good governance
and poverty reduction, building bridges and networks among local reform
champions, and providing platforms upon which reformers can share their
successes and advocate for further change.
3. BaKTI has strong support and solid momentum in eastern Indonesia,
where three quarters of all districts are classified by the Government
of Indonesia as lagging (tertinggal) and where government and
international development partners have a poor record of success. Its
linkages to Governors, Heads of BAPPEDA, academics, NGOs, and other
local stakeholders are essential to its relevance and effectiveness.
Yayasan BaKTI’s approach to exchange of local knowledge and replication
of local initiatives is itself a model for potential replication to
other parts of the country. In summary, the nature of BaKTI’s work is
to support and maintain the development, creation and dissemination of
knowledge products, particularly those that have significant impact in
improving service delivery, and also to support and maintain networks
and mechanisms that enable key development actors in eastern Indonesia
to improve the way they deliver public services.
4. In connection to that, Yayasan BaKTI is developing strategic
partnerships with other development projects. Under these partnerships,
it provides specific, tailored services to meet the knowledge sharing
and communications needs of the project partners. These needs include
everything from distributing project updates, to developing and sharing
tools and approaches, to changing attitudes and behaviors of specific
target groups.
5. One of these projects is the World Bank PREM Public Expenditure
Analysis and Capacity Harmonization (PEACH). PEACH trains and
facilitates local universities to produce public expenditure analyses
(PEA), builds awareness among local governments on the challenges, and
helps them to prioritize and address the challenges. BaKTI provides
logistical support for the PEACH team, communications and publishing
support, as well as access to local government and civil society and
community networks established & maintained by BaKTI.
