At a Glance: SKALA in Gorontalo

Gorontalo became the 32nd province in Indonesia in December 2000, based on Law No. 38 year 2000. Agriculture forms the backbone of its economy, with an emphasis on crops like corn, rice, and coconut. However, poverty in Gorontalo remains a significant issue at a rate of 14.57% in 2024, which is higher than Indonesia’s national average.

SKALA works with the Gorontalo Provincial Government to strengthen the participation of vulnerable groups in development planning, as well as to improve the use of reliable data and analysis, increase regional financial capacity, and strengthen the quality of public spending. SKALA’s Gorontalo office became operational in October 2023.
