Improvement of aggregate consumption poverty assessment in Indonesia should be taken.

Five critical notes are made: 1) determination of reference group in determining poverty line; 2) determination of food and non-food basket to measure poverty of all areas and comparison among different areas; 3) application of consumption equivalence scale in the context of difference in family member consumption need; 4) assumption and determination of household scale in the context of relationship between household member and consumption need; 5) assumption of resource allocation and accessibility of household member

The Role of the Fiscal Stimulus Program in Expanding Labor-intensive Infrastructure in Response to the Impact of the 2008/09 Global Financial Crisis

The global financial crisis (gfc) that swept over the world in 2008/09 had an influence on the Indonesian economy. in an attempt to reduce the impact of the gfc, the government introduced a fiscal stimulus program (fsp) in 2009 in order to encourage economic growth. the program consisted of two main elements, namely, tax cuts and increased government spending. this report presents the results of research into the implementation of the fsp, in terms of government spending to expand infrastructure in the context of reducing the impact of the crisis. the study, for which samples were selected in the kabupaten of demak, sragen, sukoharjo, and klaten (in Central Java) and the kabupaten of gowa, sinjai, and bulukumba (in South Sulawesi), was part of the activities involved in monitoring the socioeconomic impact of the gfc, which has been carried out by the smeru research institute since july 2009. this research was done in a qualitative way in order to obtain a general understanding of the impact of the gfc on the socioeconomic situation of the population, the process of formulation and decision-making in the implementation of the fsp, and the benefits of the fsp in overcoming the impact of the crisis on community livelihoods. on the whole, research findings indicated that fsp targets have not been in accordance with the impact of the gfc. although the gfc had a sufficiently significant effect on the national economy during the period from the end of 2008 until the middle of 2009, its impact on the economies of the study areas was relatively minor. the allocation of fsp funding for kabupaten and kota shows a wide variation and was not related to the level of impact of the gfc or to the economic position of the region that had been impacted. the fsp funds had already raised the capacity of development spending in the recipient regions and the expansion of infrastructure provided benefits to the local economy; however, the fsp did not contribute directly to the assistance of community members who had been affected by the crisis. keywords: global financial crisis, fiscal stimulus program, infrastructure developmen

Accelerating Poverty and Vulnerability Reduction: Trends, Opportunities, and Constraints

Despite progress in poverty reduction during the last four decades, Indonesia is still plagued by high rate of multidimensional poverty and deprivation. the 2009 monetary poverty rate of 14.15% is 5.95 percentage points higher than the government's initial target, while in other dimensions of poverty Indonesia lags behind its neighbours. there are opportunities for accelerating poverty reduction in the future by the virtue of globalisation, demographic dividend, adoption of participatory development approach, and support from international commitment on millennium development goals (mdgs). on the other hand, there are critical constraints to reducing poverty and vulnerability in the forms of insufficient productive opportunities, weak human capabilities, and inadequate social protection. the strategy for accelerating poverty and vulnerability reduction is to capitalize on the opportunities and at the same time effectively address the critical constraints. the policy objective is to enhance human and non-human capital accumulation of the poor to empower them to move out of poverty, while at the same time strengthen the capacity of the near poor to avoid falling into poverty

Indonesia juga diprediksi tidak dapat mencapai target MDG 4 dan 5 pada tahun 2015. Dalam upaya peningkatan status kesehatan ibu dan anak dalam konteks desentralisasi, perencanaan dan penganggaran kesehatan di kabupaten merupakan elemen sistem kesehatan yang penting. Pendekatan Perencanaan Penganggaran Berbasis Bukti (PPBB) KIA, merupakan bentuk model perencanaan yang menggunakan bukti data dan referensi akademis dalam rangka pengambilan keputusan program kesehatan.Tujuan: memaparkan hasil implementasi PPBB-KIA dalam rangka melihat hubungan keterlibatan Bappeda dalam advokasi perencanaan perencanaan kesehatan ibu dan anak melalui koordinasi lintas sektor.Metode Penelitian: Kajian ini secara deskriptif-korelatif keterlibatan Bappeda dalam perencanaan lintas sector untuk progam KIA yang dilakukan sesuai dengan sumbatan sistem kesehatan yang ada dan berdasarkan 66 intervensi berbasis continuum of care.Hasil: Keterlibatan lintas sektor dalam perencanaan dan penganggaran KIA membawa dampak positif terhadap rencana kerja. Peran Bappeda semakin kuat dan memberikan kontribusi positif dalam kegiatan ini. Keterlibatan Bappeda terlihat berpengaruh dalam koordinasi program KIA untuk lintas sektor. Kesimpulan: Peningkatan kapasitas staf perencanaan kabupaten yang masih terbatas, kurangnya data kesehatan, peran advokasi lintas sektor ke Pemda yang belum kuat untuk meningkatkan pembiayaan kesehatan. Pendekatan PPBB dapat meningkatkan kapasitas perencanaan KIA secara berbasis bukti nyata terpadu dan terintegrasi dan lintas sektor di daerah. Kata Kunci: Perencanaan, Kesehatan Ibu dan Anak, Lintas Sekto
