Challenges in Indonesia's Development Planning (RPJMN 2020-2024)

Abstract

Referring to the Elected President's Speech on July 14, 2019, the vision of Indonesia going forward is to promote innovation that is focused on 5 main work programs. The first is to continue the development of infrastructure, especially those that connect with people's production areas, such as small industrial zones, special economic zones, tourism zones, rice fields, plantations, and people's ponds. The second is to build human resources, with the emphasis on the health of pregnant women, infants, toddlers, school-age children, improving the quality of vocational education and talent management, and support for the high-talented diaspora. The third work program is to increase investment. Investment is aimed at opening up the widest possible employment opportunities, by accelerating the licensing process and removing all investment barriers. The fourth work program is to carry out bureaucratic reform, including structural institutional reforms to make it simpler and more agile, as well as changing in a mindset to quickly serve and give licenses. Fifth, to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the use of the state budget, with a focus on providing benefits to the people, both in the form of economic benefits, social benefits, and welfare.
