KOMPAK Concept Note - Strategic Partnership for Delivery of Legal Identity and CRVS through Basic Services
Concept Note
Strategic Partnership for Delivery of Legal Identity and CRVS through Basic
Services
INTRODUCTION
As reflected in the Medium-Term National Development Plan (RPJMN) 2015-2019, the
Government of Indonesia (GOI) is committed to reduce poverty to 7 to 8 percent by 2019
with specific emphasis on addressing disparities between regions and income groups. The
RPJMN outlines a four-pronged policy to reduce poverty and inequality that is comprised of:
i) inclusive economic growth; ii) a comprehensive social protection system, iii) improving
basic services for the poor and vulnerable, and iv) development of sustainable livelihoods.
These policies are designed as a holistic approach to address the high vulnerability,
complexity and multidimensional nature of poverty experienced by Indonesians.
KOMPAK SUPPORT TO GOI
KOMPAK is a DFAT-funded program that aims to consolidate and build on DFAT investments
in village empowerment, service delivery, governance and civil society strengthening by
integrating these areas of activities into a single Program. This approach also recognizes the
importance of local economic growth to poverty reduction, and the value of partnership
between DFAT and the private sector to design and implement innovative development
solutions. This integrated investment is intended to: enhance coordination with
stakeholders across the aid program; minimise duplication; maximise value-for-money; and
deliver flexible, adaptive and effective activities for strong results. In relation to frontline
service delivery, in 2016 KOMPAK is committed to support Bappenas in advancing the GOI
strategy and pilot design on improving basic services for the poor and vulnerable, including
provision of technical and analytics support.
PURPOSE
The objective is to engage civil society partner organisations who can provide the necessary
support to GOI and KOMPAK to advance the policy agenda on legal identity and Civil
Registry and Vital Statistics (CRVS). This may entail technical policy support, capacity
strengthening, piloting and innovations at both national and sub-national levels. At national
level, the work entails support to GOI on a number of key policies, legislation and strategic
frameworks/roadmaps related to expansion of legal identity and CRVS. At subnational level,
the work will focus on developing locally appropriate initiatives to integrate legal identity
and Civil Registry and Vital Statistics (CRVS) into basic services delivery systems, especially
health and education.
