Instead of being channelled through local government accounts—which often caused long delays—allowances are now transferred directly from the national treasury to teachers’ bank accounts. This reform has already reached over 1.5 million teachers across Indonesia, providing financial certainty, enhancing transparency, and strengthening teachers’ motivation to deliver quality education. SKALA, an Australia–Indonesia Partnership Program for Accelerating Basic Services, has supported the design of this transfer mechanism, helping ensure the reform works effectively at both national and local levels.

The Aceh Government has reaffirmed its commitment to inclusive governance with the enactment of Aceh Governor Regulation No. 12/2025 on Community Participation in Development.

This milestone builds on the success of earlier thematic forums facilitated by the provincial government, with support from SKALA – the Australia–Indonesia Partnership Program for Accelerating Basic Services. Through institutional strengthening, participatory forum facilitation, and capacity building, SKALA has helped ensure that community participation in Aceh becomes sustainable and impactful.

The collaboration between the Aceh Government and the Statistics Study Program at Syiah Kuala University (USK), supported by the SKALA Program, is an example of good practice in accelerating the implementation of Satu Data Aceh.
