Summary: | North Sulawesi province is one of the
most developed provinces in eastern Indonesia. Far-reaching
development has taken place over the past ten years.
Presently, North Sulawesi province has the second highest
Human Development Index score in Indonesia, and its poverty
rate is low in comparison with other provinces. Over the
past decade, per capita gross regional domestic product
(GRDP) has doubled and sub-national government spending has
increased significantly. Nevertheless, there remain various
development challenges to address as well as various
potential resources and opportunities to pursue. North
Sulawesi's performance in regional financial management
has been relatively good, but discrepancies remain in the
performance and capacity of different work units within each
regional government and also between different regional
governments in the province. To address challenges, take
opportunities, and increase development performance,
sub-national governments in North Sulawesi, particularly the
provincial government, need to better utilize their fiscal
resources. Clearer vision, mission, indicators and
development targets must be accompanied by greater efforts
to prepare a more directed budget, and to formulate higher
quality programs and activities more consistent with
planning targets. This report is an effort to assist North
Sulawesi's sub-national governments to improve their
regional financial management performance, to improve the
quality of planning and budgeting, and finally to contribute
to local development performance. The report results from
strong cooperation between sub-national governments in North
Sulawesi province, the Economics Faculty of Sam Ratulangi
University, which was supported by CIDA, the Australian
Agency for International Development (AusAID) and the World
Bank. North Sulawesi Province BAPPEDA (Head of the Regional
Development Planning Agency) played an important role in
facilitating the preparation of this report. It is expected
that this report will benefit North Sulawesi's
sub-national governments, sub-national governments elsewhere
in Indonesia and the central government by serving as a
reference for efforts to improve sub-national financial
management performance and the regional development process.
Finally, this report can contribute to better and more
effective sub-national financial management and governance.
Overall, North Sulawesi's strategic sectors (health,
education, infrastructure and agriculture) are performing
better than in other provinces in eastern Indonesia. |
