In Indonesia public resources are raised and spent unfairly and ineffectively, leaving millions of people-especially women— without access to the quality public goods and services they need to thrive.
Indonesia’s public resource governance system faces several challenges. Key social sectors often suffer from underfunding and poor planning, along with a lack of coordination. Additionally, historically excluded communities, particularly women, have limited opportunities to participate in decisions about how public money is raised and spent. Indonesia has stark inequalities in women and girls’ access to key services as a result of these public resource management challenges. These inequities are compounded by the effects of climate change, which disproportionately affect the most excluded communities.
