Background
The Asia Foundation (TAF) is awarded Indefinite Delivery Indefinity Quantity (IDIQ) contract by USAID to implement Tata Kelola PemERintahan yang Efektif, Efisien, dan KuAT Activity starting on January 19, 2021. The goal of ERAT is for the citizens of Indonesia to benefit from effective local government by increasing the quality of policy implementation and service delivery at the subnational level. The goal will be achieved through three interrelated intermediate results (IRs):
(1) Coherence between national and subnational policies strengthened.
(2) Performance of local service delivery enhanced; and
(3) Local budget allocation and execution improved.
L-GEE’s Theory of Change is that if the linkages between policy, planning, performance, and budgeting are strengthened, so that national and subnational policies are aligned and planning and budgeting are grounded in accurate performance data, then subnational governments will serve their citizens effectively and with accountability. The Theory of Change assumes that the Government of Indonesia (GOI) continues to support decentralization as a key principle of democratic governance, that stakeholders at all levels engage in ongoing reform efforts, and that citizens increasingly exercise their rights to demand responsive government and receive quality public services.
ERAT follows a ‘Refine and Implement’ approach through three components:
(1) Refine – this component includes conducting political economy analysis and co-design process to ensure that ERAT interventions are contextually grounded and responsive to reform opportunities
(2) Implement – this component focuses on technical assistance and capacity building at national and subnational level to address needs identified in the Refine component
(3) Short-Term Technical Assistance (STTA) – this component requires ERAT to respond to USAID technical Office request to receive targeted technical assistance within the scope of ERAT to meet local governance specific related needs
