Background

The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in Indonesia is initiating a new programme with the Korean International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) to support the Government of Indonesia in strengthening government capacity to handle civil petitions that can improve public service provision over time. In doing so, UNDP and KOICA established a tripartite collaboration with the Ministry of Administrative and Bureaucratic Reforms (KemenPAN-RB) to develop a comprehensive and integrated national strategy on the public service complaint handling management system. This collaboration is also intended to capacitate respective agencies responsible for the management and operation of SP4N-LAPOR!.

SP4N-LAPOR! is an online citizen complaint handling management system and was designed to increase public participation in the supervision of programs and government performance as well as the provision of public services. LAPOR! is an integrated online system that is easily accessible through various online platforms including 1) text messaging 1708 (based on Indonesia’s Independence Day on 17 August), 2) mobile application (LAPOR!) on Android and Blackberry – IOS still under development, (3) the internet (www.lapor.go.id), 4) Facebook (facebook.com/LayananPengaduanOnlineRakyat), 4) Twitter (@LAPOR1708 or #LAPOR), 5) YouTube (@LAPOR1708), and 6) Instagram (@LAPOR1708).

SP4N-LAPOR! project aims to enhance the e-governance system in Indonesia's government by strengthening the national complaint handling system (SP4N-LAPOR!). In achieving the objective, three main outputs are expected to be performed:

1. Develop master plan and roadmap for a comprehensive national complaint handling system (SP4N-LAPOR!).

2. Enhance institutional capacity on complaint handling at the level of national and subnational governments, through invitational and local training.

3. Increased government and public awareness on SP4N-LAPOR!, and citizen participation to improve the system, with particular attention to women, youth, Persons with Disabilities (PwDs) and other marginalized groups of the population through Workshops and Promotions.

This project will conduct benchmarking with other e-governance success stories to accommodate public complaints and aspirations to improve public service quality, such as E-People in the Republic of Korea. Through these online platforms, citizens can submit their petitions and complaints to uncover internal issues or in-service provisions highlighting existing challenges. KemenPAN-RB is the responsible agency for managing daily operations and administration of LAPOR!. As of March 2017, SP4N-LAPOR! had attracted more than 560,000 users and continues to receive, on average, 460 daily reports through the platform. To this end, SP4N-LAPOR! has become the forerunner of national integrated complaints management systems.

KemenPAN-RB has recently renewed the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with other agencies as national partners in managing SP4N-LAPOR! As a result, as of 2021, there are five official national agencies, namely KemenPAN-RB, the Executive Office of the President (KSP), Ombudsman RI, Ministry of Home Affairs (Kemendagri), and Ministry of Communication and Informatics (Kominfo), with the role as leading institutions in managing national public complaint handling management system. Following this new MOU, the five leading institutions are also renewing the service agreement specifying the role and function of each institution to manage the public service complaint handling system.

With much progress in managing SP4N-LAPOR!, the mechanism of SP4N-LAPOR! interoperability and management have changed. Therefore, an adjustment in the regulation of SP4N-LAPOR! is required. One of SP4N-LAPOR! legal basis is the Ministerial Decree PAN-RB (PermenPAN-RB) no 62/2018 on complaint handling the management of public services. To align the new focus of Roadmap SP4N-LAPOR! and the new role between five leading institutions of SP4N-LAPOR!, this existing Ministerial Decree PAN-RB no 62/2018 is suggested be revised. This adjustment will update the aspect of governance, management, and business process of SP4N-LAPOR! following several changes on those aspects.

Building on that background and further consultation with KemenPAN-RB, UNDP-KOICA for SP4N-LAPOR! project has expressed its commitment to continue supporting KemenPAN-RB in providing strategic support for the development of SP4N-LAPOR! through a National, Consultant to Revise Public Service Complaint Handling Regulation. The national consultant will provide substantive support and input in revising the existing regulation on improving the public service complaint handling management system. Furthermore, given that the context is about enhancing the existing regulation, the national consultant will coordinate with KemenPAN-RB and other SP4N-LAPOR! Leading institution as peer reviewers, as required.
