Leadership, governance, and financing |
Data for decision-making |
Bappeda and the Department of Communication and Information (Kominfo) should decide on a regular multi-sector mechanism for discussing cross-sector data alerts that come up in the war room, to build in the expectation that these data will be regularly discussed and used for planning. |
Equitable policy and leadership |
Develop municipal policies, workforce training programs, and technical support to increase not just data reporting but also data usage and visualization within the war room by city leadership, with a particular focus on getting the related sector data used as part of regular city mid-term, near-term, and long-term planning. |
Bappeda should regularly work across donors/nongovernmental organizations/private sector on key coherent action areas to ensure they are aligning funding and programs with Healthy Makassar goals, and targeting alleys (neighborhoods) with highest needs. |
Citizen engagement |
Use a systems approach for the Musrenbang that best utilizes citizen feedback in the process to develop a budget and workplan each year. The method used should be transparent, systematic, and replicable, and allow for public release of the findings |
Infrastructure and workforce |
Data for decision-making |
Improve workforce capacity for using data through changes to university programs for each sector, civil servants training courses, or some other form of regular capacity development. |
Equitable policy and leadership |
Improve government investment for facilities and infrastructure to support data management and encourage data-driven decision-making. This investment needs to be supported by enhancing workforce capacity for data managers to meet the need for qualified workforce to use information technology and manage data from collection to utilization. |
Citizen engagement |
Strengthen the integrated system for managing citizen complaints with GIS technology into the central war room that is accessible for the communities to track their complaints and progress and to give feedback. |
Collaboration and data |
Data for decision-making |
Bappeda and Kominfo should collaborate to use collected data from communication channels including citizen reporting systems, social media, and electronic-based channels to identify gaps in service and inform service delivery policy as well as for program planning and budgeting. These data can be used for bottom-up planning during the Musrenbang. |
Equitable policy and leadership |
Encourage a "One Data" regulation plan to be ratified at the city level. In addition, the city government should implement a city level policy that requires all government departments, nongovernmental organizations, and private sectors to share their data including mechanism, type of data, variable, data use for decision-making, person in charge, and their incentive. A one data governance model can be implemented across different systems to cover many data sources and departments which involve multi-sector stakeholders in the process of data integration and dashboard management. |
Citizen engagement |
Increase outreach campaigns on key environmental health and public health topics. Citizen reporting system data can be used to identify the topics that are most pressing, such as road safety, opening drains by reducing loose garbage, etc. These campaigns can be timed to coincide with key points in the Musrenbang process to ensure citizens know what to ask for to fix any enduring health-related issues in their neighborhoods. |
Community cohesion and awareness |
Data for decision-making |
Increase transparency of the decision-making process and how selected programs were implemented. This can be done via public posting of Musrenbang rankings/ratings. |
Equitable policy and leadership |
Develop and use a city monitoring and evaluation plan for monitoring progress on the "Sombere and Smart City" goals that are tied to RT/RW (sub-district or kelurahan) level improvements. |
Citizen engagement |
Engage Healthy Alleys to do their own prioritization exercises around what they need to improve their Healthy Alley indicators, so that they come prepared to ask for these items during the Musrenbang. |
Review the Musrenbang process to see whether it can be augmented by developing a year-round community collaboration platform that supports standardized, trusted, and ongoing community engagement. |
