Summary: | In 2010 the World Bank approved a US$220
million loan for a Local Government and Decentralization
project in Indonesia. The project aims to improve the
accountability and reporting of the central
government's Specific Purpose Grants (DAK). Piloted in
four infrastructure sub-sectors-irrigation, roads,
sanitation, and water the project is the World Bank's
first to apply innovative Output-Based Aid (OBA) design
principles on a large scale to target improvements in
inter-governmental fiscal transfers. Under the project, the
DAK grants will work in a similar way to OBA subsidies,
which reimburse service providers for independently
verified, pre-agreed physical outputs. Up to 81 local
governments in five provinces are eligible to take part in
this project. This note presents an overview of the project
objectives and design. |
