At a Glance: SKALA Program in North Kalimantan

Established in October 2012, North Kalimantan (Kaltara) is one of Indonesia’s newest provinces. Kaltara’s strategic location offers significant potential for development. Given its large geographic area and population dispersed across remote regions, the provincial government remains committed to infrastructure development. This focus aims to enhance connectivity and improve the efficiency of public service delivery, particularly basic services and governance.

SKALA works with the provincial government to strengthen participation of vulnerable groups in development planning, data provision and use, regional fiscal capacity, and quality of public spending. SKALA’s Kaltara office became operational in October 2023.
