The German Government (represented by the Deutsche Gesellschaft fuer Internationale Zusammenarbeit GIZ GmbH) has been supporting the Indonesian Government (represented by the Corruption Eradication Commission/CEC) in corruption prevention since 2007. The current phase of the cooperation: Assistance in Preventing and Combating Corruption (APCC) is running from 2019-2021 with the main goal to improve the corruption prevention of the Indonesian government in the national and sub national level, incl. in the forestry sector. One of the expected outputs of this cooperation is to improve the capacity of local government in implementing its corruption prevention program. APCC is funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and implemented by GIZ with the CEC as the Project Executing Agency.
As CEC has its subnational approach (through Korsupgah/Korwil) since 2016, the APCC focuses its support on East Kalimantan, Papua and West Papua Provinces. There are 8 menus of CEC’s assistance to the local government in preventing corruption in the sub national governments: promotion of e-planning/budgeting, e-procurement, e-licensing, merit human resource management, increasing local revenue, strengthening Internal Audit, better public asset management and village fund management as well as thematic issue of each region.
Papua and West Papua have significant big forest area and other natural resources, CEC also has special attention on ensuring good governance in the forest and other natural resources in these provinces. In addition to that, Papua and West Papua Provinces are still having challenges in implementing their corruption prevention program due to many aspects (infrastructure, technology, human resources, etc.). Thus, the APCC will support the local governments in Papua Province (incl. Merauke and Jayapura Districts) as well as in West Papua Province (incl. Tambrauw and Sorong Selatan) to improve their corruption prevention program. The result of the technical assistance will be shown in the improvement of Monitoring Centre for Prevention’s score of each local government (https://jaga.id/jendela-daerah/program).
