A motor vehicle tax exemption policy for persons with disabilities is being implemented in West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) to promote mobility, independence and participation
The Provincial Government of NTB has taken a progressive step to support vulnerable groups by introducing a policy that exempts modified vehicles owned by persons with disabilities (PKB). The policy is regulated under Governor Regulation No. 23 of 2024 and further supported by a Standard Operational Procedure issued through Regional Revenue Agency Regulation No. 10 of 2025.
Effective from January 2025, the policy has been implemented in four regencies/cities: Mataram City, West Lombok, East Lombok and North Lombok. As of April 2025, eight persons with disabilities had benefited from full PKB exemption, including penalties and additional charges, totalling IDR3,866,107.
SKALA contributed to drafting the regulatory content, expediting the SOP process, and facilitating policy outreach to persons with disabilities and service providers at the regencies/city level. This policy not only eases the financial burden but also enhances access to disabilities-responsive transportation and supports the independence of persons with disabilities in NTB.

Strengthened CSO capacity to use Regsosek data for targeted development planning through structured training in West Nusa Tenggara (NTB)
Technical training (Bimtek) on the use of Social and Economic Registration (Regsosek) data is vital in enhancing the capacity of civil society and community-based organisations (CSOs/CBOs) to manage and utilise data effectively. With this support, CSOs can make more informed decisions and design targeted empowerment programs that respond to the needs of vulnerable groups.
The training also facilitates collaboration between CSOs, government agencies and other stakeholders, thereby fostering synergy in poverty reduction and social development efforts. Furthermore, it helps to strengthen accountability and build public trust in the organisations implementing these programs.
Structured training enables development interventions to be delivered more effectively, contributing to sustainable development at the local level.
