child welfare programs. For the period 2014 to 2019 it is planned to increase the role and contribution of Local Governments. By 2020 the Local Governments are expected
to implement most of PKSA interventions while central government plays a supporting role.

As model for an effective response to the nationwide child protection and welfare needs, PKSA is supposed to be used as reference for the provincial or district authorities and
communities to deliver care and protection for children MoSA, 2010. Therefore, the design of PKSA includes provincial and districts governments as part of the implementing
structure, along with a description of the specific roles of each level. PKSA Guidelines even mention that Dinas Sosial at all levels should establish PKSA implementation units
in their respective offices. In summary: It was envisioned from the beginning that by 2019, Local Governments will have the capacity to manage PKSA independently using
their own resources. 3. THE ROLE AND ORGANIZATION OF PKSA

Table 2 shows the long-term planning. PKSA aims at covering from the central budget 522.000 children in 2015 and 822,000 children during the period 2016-2020. This
amounts to 20 percent of the total target population of children in need. To gradually reduce the gap between the number of children in need and the number of children
covered, it was assumed that the other 80 of the target group will be covered by provincial and district resources. To ensure that Local Governments will allocate an
increasing amount of funds for the implementation of child welfare programs, MoSA has to win their commitment and full support. Therefore one of PKSAs main objectives
is to synergize, cooperate closely and share resources with Local Governments.
