could be taken as a lesson learned for Indonesia in this matter. With a good preparation and willingness from the government to develop a good regulatory framework to secure the govern-ment and public interest in this BTL mechanism.

The other constraints is that in BTL PPP method, the demand risk is borne by the government, so there will be unwillingness from the government to take such risks. The government should build a proper mechanism to conduct a feasibility test like South Korea has in term of this problem.

The role of government is very crucial here, in order to further stimulate integrated approach to private investment project development in social infrastructure, a systematic cooperation among diverse government ministries and local government need to be reinforced.

5. Conclusion

Both developed and developing countries are increasingly concerned with developing better strategies to improve invest-ment on economic and social infrastructure for the purpose VMNYV^[OHUKWV]LY[`YLK\J[PVU;OLYLJLU[NSVIHSÄZJHSYPZPZ has heightened concerns around how to increase investment on economic and social infrastructure. In order to achieve that goal, every country in the world has developed their own strat-egyto attract private sector investment in those area, so called Public Private Investment.

PPP mechanism for social infrastructure has not been imple-mented yet in Indonesia, but this is a good opportunity for the government to expand the PPP mechanism not only for eco-nomic infrastructure but also social infrastructure. Until now, Indonesia is still struggling to provide public social infrastruc-[\YL ILJH\ZL VM [OL SHJR VM ÄUHUJPUN JHWHJP[` 0U [OL M\infrastruc-[\YL Indonesia could develop BTL method for social infrastructure I` HKHW[PUN [OL :V\[O 2VYLH»Z );3 TLJOHUPZT /\NL LќVY[ from the government is needed to gather the basic information for the prelimenary feasibility study for BTL implementation in Indonesia. If it’s possible, then the government should begin develop a good regulatory and institutional framework for the implementation of BTL mechanism in Indonesia. This will not happen in near future, but the application of BTL method could IYPUNILULÄ[MVY[OLWLVWSLVM0UKVULZPHPUHJOPL]PUN[OLKL]LS -opment goals. (VM)

Opportunity of the Application of BTL

Method in Indonesia

Indonesia as the 16th _{biggest economy in the world has grown}

rapidly in past decades. Indonesia’s economy continued to growth at a steady pace in the 2013, wth GDP growth of ^%. The 2013 GDP growth was solid, which was primarily based on WYP]H[LJVUZ\TW[PVUHUKHIL[[LYWLYMVYTHUJLPUÄ_LKJHWP[HS investment.

In the other hand, Indonesia’s infrastructure development lagged the economic growth. To date, Indonesia’s infrastruc-ture investment as a share of total output at around 3 per cent, YLTHPUZ ILSV^ P[Z WYL(ZPHU ÄUHUJPHS JYPZPZ SL]LSZ VM HYV\UK 7 per cent (Lundine et.al, 2013).Thus, the Government has encouraged private sector to invest in infrastructure through PPP mechanism. Since then, the Government has taken ma-QVY Z[LWZ [V YLÄUL [OL 777 WVSPJ` HUK YLN\SH[VY` MYHTL^VYR to improve the attractiveness and competitiveness of the PPP projects in Indonesia.

The development of PPP in Indonesia was supported by the government with the adoption of best practices of PPP on the international level through the Presidential Regulation No. 67 Year 2005 on Public Private Partnership in Infrastructure Devel-opment. The regulation served as a asis for all PPP frameworks until its revision in 2010 through the Presidential Regulation No. @LHY ;OL NV]LYUTLU[ LќVY[Z [V KL]LSVW 777 JHU also be seen in the establishment of a government institution to support the PPP policy.

PPP in economic infrastructure in Indonesia has grown quite fast with the implementation of sounds regulations. In 2013, there were 21 projects undegoing public procurement, such as: Central Java Coal Fired Power Plant, Umbulan Water Sup-ply, East Java, PurukCahu-Bangkuang Coal Railway, Bandar ampung Water Supply, etc.

In the other hand, Indonesia has not implemented the PPP TLJOHUPZTMVYZVJPHSPUMYHZ[Y\J[\YL`L[^OPJO^PSSIYPUNILULÄ[ for the society. As we already mentioned in the previous chap-ter, BTL methods has succed in building the social infrastruc-ture such as schools, hospitals, sewage, etc, for people in the South Korea. As Indonesia is still struggling to reach develop-ment goals stated in the Millenium Developdevelop-ment Goals (MDGs), this BTL method could be a complimentary component for the government in reaching the development goals.

Indonesia’s progress in achieving MDGs has been remarkedly successful in some areas, but still have long way to achieve the inclusive results. For example, Indonesia’s achievement in MDG2, Achieving Universal Primary Education, has been go-ing well which the net enrollment rates for primary education are increasing and are on track to achieve the target of 100 per cent by 2015 (Lundine et.al, 2013). But this picture can’t describe the quality of education, starts from school building facility, teacher’s quality, and the education curicullum itself. Even in some remote areas in Indonesia, they don’t have prop-er school building and facilities to support the education. The government has allocated 20 per cent of the government bud-get for education, but it seems that number is not enough in providing facilities for education especially in the remote areas in Indonesia.

In the MDG 4, Reduce Child Mortality has also made signifcant stride, where the child mortality rate has fallen nationally. But this progress is not successfully followed in the MDG 5, Im-WYV]L4H[LYUHS/LHS[O0UKVULZPHPZVќ[YHJRVUYLK\JPUN[OL maternal mortality rate from 390 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births in 1991 to its goal of 102 by 2015 (Lundine et.al, 2013). The main reason for this result is Indonesia still strug-gling with the health care facilities where most of people in the remote areas do not have an equal access to health care facil-ities. This due to the low health care infrastructure and lack of road infrastructure. In some eastern provinces where the health care infrastructure is not developed well yet, child and maternal mortality are still two or three times higher than the national average.

Other challenge ahead for Indonesia is in term of providing the water sanitation for its people. Despite recommendable prog-ress in reducing extreme poverty and overall poverty rates, In-KVULZPH JVU[PU\LZ [V MHJL ZPNUPÄJHU[ JOHSSLUNLZ PU WYV]PKPUN adequate water and sanitation. The geographic challenges of 0UKVULZPHJHUUV[ILV]LYZ[H[LKJVTIPULK^P[OPUZ\ѝJPLU[PU -frastructure and frequent natural disaster, not all areas have regular access to water and sanitation.

These challenges in meeting development goals should be conquered by investing in social infrastructue, but the govern-TLU[M\UKPUNJHWHJP[`PZPUZ\ѝJPLU[[VI\PSK[OLZLPUMYHZ[Y\J -ture. The lack of funding should become an opportunity for the government to invite the private sector to invest in the social infrastructure like South Korea did in 2005. It will need a proper holistic research from the government to include the private sector in providing the social infrastructure for the society. The lesson learned could be took from South Korean’s experience in implementing BTL Methods in building the social infrastruc-ture.

The application of BTL method in Indonesia could be done for some areas such as education facilities (schools etc), health care facilities (hospital etc) and water sanitation facilities. But ÄYZ[ VM HSS [V PTWSLTLU[ );3 TL[OVK PU 0UKVULZPH [OL NV] -ernment should make the regulatory framework to guide the application of BTL method. It will take time to form the good regulatory framework, but it will be very useful to expand the PPP mechanism in Indonesia.

The BTL Method has not been applied in Indonesia and the government is not familiar yet with this method. There are many constraints in developing this PPP mechanism in Indonesia.

BTL Method in Building Social Infrastructure in

South Korea

At the end of 2004, the Government of South Korea had

an-nounced its plan to introduce a new tpe of PPP program of Build-Transfer-Lease (BTL) as a new concept of the invest-ment plan that would stimulate the economy construction and job placements. BTL is a contract type of PPP in which the concessionaire makes an investment to BUILD infrastructure, TRANSFER and LEASE the ownership to the central or local government. Te concesionaire can get return on investment from the lease fee paid by the government for a time deter-mined in the concession agreement.

The government grants the right to management and operation back to the concessionaire and the concessionaire leases the facility for an agreed period of time, usually from 10 to 30 years, and gets return on investment from lease rent. The lease fee is calculated by taking the investment principal and interest that is MHJPSP[`PU]LZ[TLU[JVZ[YLÅLJ[PUN[OLYH[LVMYL[\YU

The eligible facilities to use the BTL methods are: new con-struction of elementary and middle schools, rehabilitation of worn elementary and middle schools, gymnasium and audi-torium of elementary and middle schools, new construction of military personnel housing, new construction of soldier’s bar-rack new construction of polytechnical college facilities, new construcction of national university dormitories, repair of worn sewage network and waterworks, new constructions of culture and art centers, libraries, museums galeries, and new con-struction of senior citizens medical welfare facility.

Gov-ernment realized that most of the project risks in BTL method are on the government side, and thus prudent project assess-ment, ex-post performance manageassess-ment, and the budgetting process are critical for the successful execution of social infra-structure (Kim, 2011).

BTL method to build the social infrastructure in Korea has high satisfactory level among facility users, such as students, teach-er, patients in the hospital. This indicate that this new business area in PPP has been an attractive phenomenon for develop-ing countries. Usually, concession-type PPP projects are more popular in developing countries where economic infrastructure in the countries are under developed. But with the higher de-mand for social infrastructure that could generate better hu-man development and job creation, this BTL method could be translated to developing countries which still have some devel-opment agenda which stated in Millenium Develdevel-opment Goals (MDGs).

Republic of Korea (herein after South Korea) development has been achieving remarkable progress over the last half century. In 1950s, South Korea was one of the poorest country in the ^VYSKHM[LYZ\ќLYLKMYVT2VYLHU>HY(Z^LJHUZLLMYVT;H

This success story of development or so-called “Miracle in the /HU9P]LY¹I`THU`2VYLHUZOHZHK]HUJLK:V\[O2VYLHPU becoming rich, technologically advanced, mature democracy with an impressive record of innovation, economic reform, and sound leadership.

The success story of South Korea is not formed easily, at the ILNPUUPUNVM[OL Z¶HM[LY[OL(ZPHUÄUHUJPHSJYPZPZPU it found shortage of infrastructure facilities such as roads, rail-ways, seaports, airports, etc (Kim, et.al, 2011).

South Korean government started to develop the Public Private Partnership (PPP) Mechanism in 1990s. The PU[YVK\J[PVUVMHÄYZ[WYVNYHT[VWYVTV[LWYP]H[LZLJ[VYWHY[PJ -ipation in infrastructure development started in 1994. PPP has ILLUZLLUHZLќLJ[P]L^H`[VYLZVS]L[OLÄUHUJPHSJVUZ[YHPU[Z faced by the government in developing infrastructure and has been treated as an important issues by the government. The scope of PPP projects is expanding from existing one in economic infrastructure (such as road and transportation facil-ities) to social infrastructure (such as schools, hospital, cultural

and environment facility). And the mechanism of PPP delivery has expanded from BTO (Build Transfer Operate) for the eco-nomic infrastructure to BTL (Build Transfer Lease) for the social infrastructure. The success story of South Korean’s PPP devel-opment especially in the BTL mechanism could be translated as lesson learned for developing countries in order developing their PPP including in Indonesia.

partner was still needed in order to run the triangular

cooperation widerly.

After lunch break, the representative from Ministry of

Marines and Fishery presented the success story of

South-South and Triangular Cooperation Program

im-plemented by the Ministry. The program was the

capaci-ty buliding program for Fiji, focusing on the development

of seaweed centre. Previously, the Ministry had trained

several Fijians to learn about the cultivation of seaweed.

Several Indonesian experts from the Ministry also went

to Fiji in order to assist on the Fijian farmer to implement

the knowledge they gained in their home country and to

help the development of seaweed centre. The Ministry

would like the National Coordination Team to support

and facilitate the monitoring and evaluation of the

sea-weed centre since the ministry had lack of capacity to

do that by their own. In response to this matter, Pak

Choesni stated that National Coordination Team

partic-ularly Working Group 3 would support the ministry to

Before closing the workshop, Pak Choesni reminded

the line ministries to submit the project digest form to

the secretariat of National Coordination Team. National

Coordination Team would select the appropriate

highly expected that development partners would

his training program is the third batch of the current

phase. Fifteen (15) participants, one interpreter and one project coordinator from Afghanistan join this training pro-gram for almost 2 weeks, from 9 to 22 November 2014. The purpose of this training program is to provide the par-ticipants from Afghanistan especially from the Ministry of Agriculture, Irrigation and Livestock understanding and improving their knowledge in rice post harvest processing technologies, thereby resulting in proper policy formulation and will provide the quality of rice value as a second staple commodity and cash crop by decreasing the post harvest loss of rice in each province. After completing this training program, the participants are expected to have the com-prehensive understanding of post harvest and processing technology as well as gain inclusive understanding of tech-nology for rice loss prevention. Beside that, the participants also expected to have improved understanding on physical

This training program is a tailor-made program, which is implemented based on the demand from Afghanistan and adapted to the capacity that Indonesia have, in this matter the rice post harvest technology. Rice is the second staple food in Afghanistan and day by day the amount of con-sumption of rice is increasing. Rice is cultivated with

Observations:

CP Needs to revitalize, to attract more donors to enhance their programs

CP established Drug Advisory Program in 1973. CP needs international recognition to attract new donors and to meet the needs of the member countries.

CP also needs to create new programs as dynamic as DAP with new ideas such as:

• Climate change- Flooding, Sea Level rise, Melting gla-cier

• Disaster Management

• ;YHѝJRPUNWLYZVUZ • Corruption

• *VTT\UPJHISLKPZLHZLZ/0=KLUN\L • Economic Development, Trade Barrier Reduction • Labor migration among member countries

In order to establish new programs CP needs to attract new

*7JHUW\YZ\LVULUL^WYVNYHTH[H[PTLLN!.LUKLY(ќHPYZ

Program. For example, recommendation of the 2009 EPG en-dorsed by the CCM in New Delhi today has 20 million USD program.

Recommendations:

CPS must engage new Expert Persons Group to meet in 2015 to discuss all new ideas and to come up with new recommen-dations

To bring the new process to the next CCM in Fiji in 2016 CP should get political support from member countries who can bring the support of new donors.

To increase collaboration with other regional organizations eg: ASEAN, SAARC, etc. Eg: DAP/ICCE has collaborative work with UNOCDC, OAS and AU
