The Ministry of National Development Planning (Bappenas), in collaboration with the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and the Sustainable Infrastructure Foundation (SIF), has taken a significant step in advancing Public-Private Partnership (PPP) project management in Indonesia. Together with the Indonesian Public-Private Partnership Joint Office (PPP-JO), they have successfully integrated the SOURCE PPP Project Platform with Indonesia’s regulatory framework. This initiative aims to enhance the country’s PPP ecosystem by establishing a comprehensive database of PPP projects and providing a robust project preparation support tool.
The SOURCE platform has been meticulously tailored to comply with Indonesian PPP regulations. Training sessions have been conducted for Government Contracting Agencies (GCAs) and PPP-JO members, ensuring they are well-equipped to utilize the platform effectively. Additionally, extensive coordination with key stakeholders—including the Ministry of Communication and Information Technology (MOCIT), the National Cyber and Crypto Agency (BSSN), the Ministry of State Apparatus Utilization and Bureaucratic Reform (PANRB), and the National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN)—has ensured alignment with Indonesia’s e-government application regulations.
On November 12th, 2024, Bappenas hosted the PPP Market Engagement event at The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Jakarta. This high-profile gathering brought together GCAs, potential investors, private sector representatives, and financing institutions, including ADB. The event served as a dynamic matchmaking platform, fostering connections between Indonesia’s PPP projects and potential investors.
A highlight of the event was the official presentation of the SOURCE platform. Bappenas announced that SOURCE will serve as a pivotal database and monitoring-evaluation tool for PPP project preparation, underscoring its vital role in enhancing project transparency and efficiency.
The event was inaugurated by Mr. Kurniawan Ariadi, SIP., M.Com, Acting Director of Development Funding at Bappenas, who emphasized the importance of robust tools like SOURCE in driving PPP project success. A notable contribution came from Global Challenge’s Director, Mr. Febri Trivitas, who delivered a comprehensive presentation on the integration of SOURCE with Indonesia’s PPP framework. His insights highlighted the platform’s potential to transform how PPP projects are managed and monitored in the country.
The PPP Market Engagement event marked a milestone in Indonesia’s journey toward sustainable and well-structured infrastructure development. By leveraging innovative platforms like SOURCE and fostering collaboration among stakeholders, Indonesia continues to position itself as a leader in PPP project execution in the region.
