This study utilizes the World Governance Indicators (WGI) framework, developed by the World Bank, to provide a comprehensive analysis of Indonesia’s governance landscape. It highlights effective practices and offers practical recommendations to address the challenges faced by Indonesia. IBC believes the pressing need for governance reform is not only a matter of improving administrative efficiency but also a strategic imperative for Indonesia’s long-term development objectives. Without comprehensive reforms, the nation risks overcoming persistent issues like corruption, inefficiency, and inadequate public services.

The document emphasizes the importance of systematic and thorough governance reform as a high-priority agenda, crucial for achieving ambitious economic growth targets and enhancing the well-being of the Indonesian people.

As the new government sets an ambition of 8 percent economic growth in the upcoming years, IBC highlights 15 key strategic areas the government needs to focus on to achieve its ambition.

For each strategic area, IBC maps out the current situations and key challenges – as well as policy framework adopted by previous government to address this. IBC then provides policy recommendations for each area, all summarized in its whitepaper “15 Policy Package Recommendations to Support the Development Agenda of the President and Vice President of Indonesia 2024-2029”.

IBC has presented the recommendation to the expert team of the new President and Vice President Prabowo Subianto and Gibran Rakabuming Raka as tool for the new government to speed up development initiatives and boost economic growth.
