Implementation Process
1. Commitment of the District Heads, Local Legislative Council DPRD, and Stakeholders
KINERJA’s partner districts launched the PTD initiative through intensive discussions with KINERJA and agreed to implement the program by signing a memorandum of
understanding MOU between the District heads and KINERJA. Discussions are also conducted with DPRD, in particular with the commissions
responsible for education and budget. These discussions are crucial to reach consensus between the executive and legislative branches, so that the program and budget could
be approved by DPRD. In addition, discussions are held with community and CSO leaders. Community
engagement encourages a PTD implementation process that is participatory, transparent and accountable. Kinerja
’s experiences demonstrate that the program can be successful with a strong commitment from the policymakers, particularly District Head and head of
DEO and other relevant institutions including DPRD. The commitment is followed by the issuance of districts head regulation and technical
guidelines on PTD in Luwu Utara, Luwu, Barru, and Aceh Singkil as well as integration of funding allocation in the District Government Annual Budget APBD and in DEO including
the Work Plan Renja, Work Plan and Budget RKA, and Budget Implementation Document DPA.
