Papuan Information System (SIO Papua) Strengthens Beneficiary Data for 14,000 New Homes

The Papuan Information System (SIO Papua) is now the main reference for the Papua Provincial Government in determining the beneficiaries of the National Strategic Project to build 14,000 decent homes, which will run until 2030. Through village-based data collection carried out directly by local cadres on a ‘by name, by address’ basis and cross-referenced with the National Single Social and Economic Database (DTSEN), this system ensures that housing assistance reaches those most in need. Bolstered by Papua Governor’s Regulation No. 61 of 2024 and technical support from SKALA, SIO Papua is strengthening data governance through the ‘One Data Indonesia’ approach...

Campus Data Insight: Supporting university students to become data trailblazers

Campus Data Insight (CDI) is a collaborative programme between the North Kalimantan Provincial Government, the Central Statistics Agency and the University of North Kalimantan, aimed at preparing a generation of ‘data-literate’ academics. Rooted in the philosophy of ‘Better Data, Better Life’, this programme encourages students and lecturers not merely to read data, but to process metadata, create infographics and write evidence-based articles using the E-Dataku Regional Data Portal. Through schemes such as data ambassadors, internships in regional government departments and the Data School modules, CDI fosters a sustainable data culture that strengthens the National Statistical System and supports inclusive development...

Inclusive Nusa Tenggara Barat: From The Driver’s Seat

The West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) Province has taken a bold step by exempting people with disabilities who use modified vehicles from motor vehicle tax (PKB), as stipulated in NTB Governor’s Regulation No. 23 of 2024.

Through collaboration between the NTB Provincial Government, the Ministry of Finance and the SKALA Program, this policy marks a paradigm shift from a revenue-centric to an empowerment-centric approach: treating local government...

Strengthening The Implementation of Minimum Service Standards in North Kalimantan: Consistent Governance for Equitable Basic Service Delivery

Despite the geographical challenges and limitations faced as a young province, North Kalimantan has proven that consistent governance can transform the Minimum Service Standards (SPM) from a mere administrative obligation into a meaningful development tool. Through strengthened coordination across local government agencies, a “proactive outreach” approach, quarterly evaluations, and the formation of the SPM Team facilitated by SKALA, North Kalimantan has succeeded in maintaining high SPM achievement even as the budget decreased from Rp393 billion (2021) to Rp142 billion (2024), and has twice won national awards (2023 and 2025). Beyond the numbers and awards, this success is tangibly evident in...

Aceh’s Disability Tax Relief: Keeps People Moving

The motor vehicle tax relief scheme for people with disabilities in Aceh marks an important milestone towards more inclusive and socially just development. Through Aceh Governor’s Regulation No. 34 of 2024, the government is offering tax reductions of up to 50% and the waiver of fines, helping thousands of residents such as Muhajir, Dedy and Saifudin to remain productive and independent. This policy stems from a collaboration between the Aceh Government, the Aceh Provincial Audit Board (BPKA), the Traffic Police Directorate (Dirlantas), Jasa Raharja, and disability organisations, with support from the SKALA programme, the Australia-Indonesia Partnership for Accelerating Basic Services....
