Background
According to the Law No. 17/2007 on RPJPN
2005-2025, the long term development process is divided into four stages of
RPJMN.The implementation of the second RPJMNwill come to an end in 2014. The national
development process of the next period will be guided by the third RPJMN which will be prepared based on the implementation,
achievement, and sustainability of the RPJMN 2010-2014.
The third RPJMNis aimed at further consolidating the overall
development process in all areas by emphasizing the achievement of the economic
competitiveness which is driven by the use of natural resources, more qualified
human resources, as well as the increase in scientific and technology
acquisition. The sufficient
development funding is needed to achieve those goals. However, the limit budget
might be become a constraint, so that the government should manage the budget
appropiately to maintain the achievement of the development goals.
The Directorate of Planning and Enhancing
Development Funding, Bappenas acknowledges the need to
conduct research ofdeveloping national
financing mechanism.This research aims to
provide policies, strategies and/or regulations that can be well implemented to
address the national development funding issues. In addition, the results of this research will also be
proposed as one of background studies to formulate the draft of National RPJM
2015-2019. The research will be carried out from August 2012 until January
2013.
Focus of this research is intended to formulate
strategy on optimization and recommendation of potential funding
sources. It will cover several funding modalities not only domestic
funding
sources (such as bond, domestic loans and Public Private Partnership schemes) but also foreign funding
sources both loan and grant.The focus
of research in foreign funding covers new modalilities, schemes, and approaches
that commonly used in managing the foreign funding. Foreign loan and grant
policies are based on development
cooperationparadigm. It is
mean that the foreign loan and grant should contribute not only to fulfill the
financing gap but also to create
transfer of knowledge, investment leverage, and strengthen international
cooperation.
Recently, The Government
of Indonesia is exploring the possibility to use Program Based Approach (PBA)
as a new approach aimed to optimize the utilization of foreign funding sources.
Based on the CIDA Report in 2002, PBA refer to the way of engaging in development cooperation
based on the principle of coordinated support for a locally owned program of
development. There are four key elementson PBA: (i) leadership
by the host country, (ii) single
program and budget framework, (iii) donor
coordination and harmonization, and (iv) use
of local procedures(alignment).In
general, PBA involve a joint approach to the
achievement of development outcomes at the program level. The aim is to promote the larger objectives of
the program by reducing transactions costs, reinforcing local systems, and
introducing a larger element of flexibility in the use of funds. In this regard, the
government aims to synchronize PBA into the planning process on foreign funding
sources.
Based on the
several reason explained above, an analist is needed to be filled in order to ensure the running of the reseach project. He/She
will be assigned to lead the research process. For more information on detailed
tasks of the Expert please see the Output/Specific Task Section.
