5. Comply to international standards in classification (such as HS, SITC, ISIC,
COICOP, CPC etc) and working procedures (IMTS, SITS, SNA Manual and
others)
6. Improving data dissemination and communication to users
Problems and Difficulties
 Standard classification could not be fully implemented by other institutions due
to lack of professional staff, especially at regional level.
 Weak coordination among data providers, especially in the regional levels
due to the limited number of statisticians
 Lack of human resources other than statisticians (management, planner,
accountant, HR specialist)
 ETC program mostly on trainings required for civil servants such as preemployment trainings and leadership training, but lack of technical trainings
on statistics such as sampling design, computer programmer and analyst data
base management, statistical analysis, office management which is needed by
BPS,
 Lack of ICT personnel, such as programmer, system programmer, web
designer, data base specialist especially in regional offices.
CONCLUSIONS
 The key success factor of BPS development heavily rely on the availability of
professional that facilitated by two knowledge centers, viz STIS in providing
a new statistician, and ETC for maintaining the level of skill needed by the
institutions.
 Human resources are very strategic area for the development of BPS: hard
skill, through education and training and soft skill, through job assignments
 ETC should develop their program to improve technical capability to
strengthen BPS coordination with sectoral data providers
 BPS need non statistical employees especially on HR development to
strengthen BPS management.
 Improvement on the capacity of ICT personnel will indirectly improve most of
statistical business process in producing good quality of statistics.
 Specific education and training programs on ICT personnel should be taken
into accounts to support the ICT development and modernization of BPSStatistics Indonesia.
 Having better personnel database system which support the human resources
improvement and development on the institution also affect to the lack of
readiness of BPS in facing the target to build better, faster, cheaper, and
easier services.
