East Nusa Tenggara (Nusa Tenggara Timur or NTT) was established in 1958 based on Law No. 64/1958. NTT is known for its rich culture and natural beauty which contributes to a growing tourism sector. However, rugged terrain, a semi-arid climate, and disaster risks sometimes hinder access to essential services like healthcare and education. SKALA works with the NTT provincial government to strengthen the participation of vulnerable groups in development planning, strengthen the use of reliable data and analysis, increase regional financial capacity, and strengthen the quality of public spending. SKALA’s NTT office became operational in May 2023.

Established on October 25, 2012, based on Law No. 20/2012, North Kalimantan (Kaltara) is one of Indonesia’s newest provinces. It is classified as an outermost, frontier, and less developed region. 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.
