| Summary: | How much Indonesia spends on research
and development (R and D) financing, where it spends it, and
how it spends it, will affect the level of the
country's growth for many years to come. Indonesia
currently has the opportunity to consider the nature of its
economic growth and where state resources may be
concentrated in order to foster expansion in new areas. For
the country to achieve growth that allows it to capture more
value-added on the goods and services it produces, it is
likely that it will need to be more innovative. This public
expenditure review (PER) starts with examining
Indonesia's current R and D performance, and then looks
into the recurrent levels of spending on R and D, and how
the spending is administered, identifying key constraining
factors that affect Indonesia's R and D performance.
With the available data and knowledge of the institutional
framework, an understanding of the R and D system is
developed. With this understanding it was possible to
identify the constraining factors in Indonesia's use of
resources to produce R and D outputs, development of
innovative goods and products to capture higher levels of
value added, and support for social public policy
formulation and implementation. This analysis will take
place primarily against the background of international
comparisons and the government's policy aims. For the
most part this PER will concentrate on the public R and D
system, that is, the institutions and research funded with
public money and operating under the aims defined by the
government. It deals with the current financing and
institutional issues and how, if necessary, these may be addressed. |
