Challenges

World Wide Foundation, 2013

1. Low Data availability: details and lack of standard format

A. SUPPLY SIDE

2. Focused on the use of internet- based information delivery models, but are not backed by policies that push for equitable access to internet infrastructure and greater public awareness on internet literacy (Java and Outer Java issues)

3. Data access is very bureaucratic that often requires official documents to be submitted.

4. As required by Law No. 20/1997 on Non Tax State Revenue, Ministries and Non Ministerial Institutions are currently charging for data.

5. Lack of incentive for policy makers to use data supporting evidence-based policy

6. Poor data management skills and culture among civil servants

7. Problem of coordination among government/state institutions

8. Disharmony with other policies. For example.

a.the provision on defamation set forth in the Law on Electronic Information and Transactions.

b.law on Mass Organizations which narrowly defines the type of institution or legal entity that may have legal standing as an information requester

• Open Data is not Equal with Open Government. Open government requires citizens and governments to interact with open data and transform it into something that can drive debate, advocacy, and accountability.

B. DEMAND SIDE

1. Media: data-driven journalism is not very well developed in Indonesia caused by the difficulties in accessing the government data

2. Private Sector: poor data quality and availability makes companies buy the data from market research companies or opt for collecting their own data.

3. Civil Society :

a.Lack of skill and awareness on how to access and to use public data

b. Civil society organizations still engage more in direct political activism than in policy debates informed by analysis

4. Universities : •Indonesian university bureaucratic structures does not reward the use of high quality and adequate data in conducting policy research/ publication•Quality of education in Indonesia does not encourage the use of data too.

Ways forward
