Kinerja’s objectives can be identified as follows:
1. Creating incentives for local governments to improve services
Incentives encourage district governments and service units to perform better, through improved accountability and stronger citizen participation, rewards or sanctions for
good or bad performance, and pride or shame when local government achievements are made public.
Kinerja’s technical assistance aims at creating strong incentive mechanisms. For example, Kinerja assists with training citizens to have a more effective
voice in advocating for public service delivery improvements, supporting local governments’ performance management systems, increasing competition through
benchmarking, and developing various award programs.
2. Encouraging local governments to adopt innovations in public services
Kinerja offers choices of targeted and well-designed technical interventions in three sectors; education, health, and business enabling environment. The program focuses on
a limited number of critical elements that will have positive impact, rather than implementing diverse activities.
3. Replicating improved public service management systems to other regions with
assistance from implementing organizations and consultants. Kinerja hopes that replication will help expand its impact nationwide.
4. Applying a rigorous impact evaluation scheme using carefully selected control
districts and in-depth studies. The evaluation measures the program results to reveal the most effective intervention, why, and how.
