Local Development Planning for Inclusive Policy and Basic Services

The Knowledge Brief Local Development Planning for Inclusive Policy and Basic Services provides strategic insights to strengthen Indonesia’s subnational planning processes so they are more inclusive, data-driven, and participatory. It highlights the importance of aligning regional plans (RPJPD, RPJMD) with national frameworks, leveraging disaggregated data such as REGSOSEK and SEPAKAT, and ensuring meaningful participation of women, persons with disabilities, indigenous groups, and marginalized communities. Drawing from practical examples by provincial government in Aceh, Kalimantan Utara, Nusa Tenggara Timur, Nusa Tenggara Barat, Gorontalo, Papua Barat, Papua, and Papua Selatan, the brief showcases how local governments, civil society, and SKALA are working together to deliver more equitable, responsive, and sustainable development outcomes.
