Heaptalk, Jakarta — Indonesia’s Minister for Administrative and Bureaucratic Reform (PANRB), Rini Widyantini, visited the Financial and Development Supervisory Agency (BPKP) in Jakarta on Thursday, January 9, 2025. During the meeting, Minister Rini and the Acting Head of BPKP, Muhammad Yusuf Ateh, discussed various issues, including BPKP’s role in ensuring the accountability of the government’s digital transformation initiatives, one of which is Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) establishment
Minister Rini emphasized the necessity of DPI as a foundation for building and managing strategic platforms in the digital era. She explained that DPI is a model for digital government architecture adopted globally, focusing on core systems as the basis for service development.
DPI includes Digital ID, Data Exchange Platforms, and Digital Payments. Minister Rini stated, “Strengthening DPI and priority use cases is essential to accelerate and ensure the success of the President’s priority programs for 2025-2029. These will also be incorporated into the revisions of existing policies. ”
She further highlighted that these strategic platforms are designed to support broad public needs. The Indonesian government has already developed government technology known as INA Digital, which has launched three limited digital products: an integrated digital identity service (INApas), a national public service portal (INAku), and a national government administration portal (INAgov).
Additionally, the meeting addressed strengthening BPKP’s role in overseeing financial and developmental accountability and refining policy through revisions of Presidential Regulations Nos. 95/2018 and Nos. 82/2023. These revisions will focus on DPI, funding mechanisms, and institutional structuring.
Minister Rini explained that lessons from implementing Presidential Regulation No. 82/2023 on Accelerating Digital Transformation highlight three main areas for policy improvement: policy and planning, institutional governance, and centralized funding.
The PANRB Ministry continues to advocate for developing integrated digital services to simplify public access. The life-cycle concept is the basis for proactive, personalized, and relevant digital government services.
Minister Rini also encouraged BPKP’s collaboration in overseeing the Civil Servant Candidate (CASN) selection process and expressed her appreciation for BPKP’s ongoing commitment to supporting the government’s digital transformation.
In response, Muhammad Yusuf Ateh, the acting head of BPKP, affirmed the organization’s strong commitment to overseeing the government’s digital transformation. BPKP will provide comprehensive policy reviews and financial accountability support.
