This report provides information about the progress, achievements and challenges of SKALA’s implementation from the period of 1 July to 31 December 2023. This is the first period of implementation, following the development of the program’s initial annual work plan.

Sinergi dan Kolaborasi untuk Akselerasi Layanan Dasar (Synergy and Collaboration for Service Delivery Acceleration – SKALA) is an Australia-Indonesia Partnership program designed to help Indonesia address regional disparities in development. SKALA aims to strengthen selected elements of Indonesia’s large and complex decentralised government system responsible for the delivery of basic services, focusing on accelerating the improved delivery of services in less developed regions, particularly for vulnerable groups, including women and people with disabilities.

This report includes information about things that were done and produced during the transition period (from the end of the KOMPAK program, until the start of the SKALA program), the realization of budget use, and assets to be handed over to the SKALA Program. This transition period was from July 2022 to December 2022.
