| Summary: | Southeast Sulawesi is one of
Indonesia's developing provinces and over the past five
years has achieved one of the country's highest growth
rates. In 2010, Southeast Sulawesi's economy grew at
8.2percent the third fastest in Indonesia. The poverty rate
has declined significantly in the past 10 years and the
unemployment rate is one the lowest in Indonesia. Per capita
expenditure in Southeast Sulawesi has increased nine-fold
compared to pre decentralization rates Southeast
Sulawesi's consolidated per capita expenditure now
falls in the top 10 in Indonesia. However, Southeast
Sulawesi is still facing a range of challenges. The Human
Development Index (HDI) has continued to lag at 25th in
Indonesia over the past five years. Although regional Gross
Domestic Product (GDP) has grown rapidly, in real per capita
terms it is still far below the national provincial average.
Southeast Sulawesi' poverty rate also remains above the
national average. It will be important for the high and
growing rate of per capita expenditure to be matched with
improvements in public financial management capacity within
the local government. In the context of overcoming these
challenges and capitalizing on expanding opportunities, the
local governments in Southeast Sulawesi and in particular
the provincial government need to work harder to make the
most of its budgetary resources. The development agenda and
programs must be sharpened and budget allocations must be
optimized to achieve development targets, especially in the
strategic sectors of education, health, infrastructure and
agriculture. This report contains findings and
recommendations intended to support sub national governments
in Southeast Sulawesi province to enhance their public
financial management performance; improve the quality of
evidence based planning and budgeting; and accelerate the
achievement of existing development targets. |
