Indonesia
Institutional Arrangements for
Toll Road Development (World Bank, 2003) in association
with Kimpraswil (Department of Infrastructure)
Java has unsatisfied demand for toll
roads for its large volumes of truck and bus traffic,
but toll road investment slowed down after the 1997
financial crisis. This project examined impediments
to resumption of investment, especially the current
institutional arrangements and regulatory framework.
It identified and compared alternative models for
allocating responsibilities for the planning, regulation,
concessioning, financing and auditing of toll roads
between government entities and other involved parties.
It recommended a preferred option for the redesign
of institutional arrangements for toll roads separating
conflicting roles, and developed a detailed plan
for implementation of the preferred option. Consultations
and recommendations on the drafting of sections
of the pending Road Law and other relevant decrees
were included in the scope of work.
Indonesian Fiscal Decentralization
(Asian Development Bank, 2002)
This project involved analysis of the
impact of fiscal decentralization at the local and
regional government level by assessing the financial
and public service profiles of nine districts and
three provinces in the periods before and after
decentralization occurred. The aim of the project
was to support regional fiscal management and help
identify areas for further capacity building work
for the Ministry of Finance as part of its efforts
to improve intergovernmental fiscal relations. The
project culminated in a series of workshops and
seminars across the involved provinces and in Jakarta
to discuss the findings of the field work and identify
policy objectives for the future.
Capacity Building for Private
Sector Participation in Urban Development (Asian
Development Bank, 1999)
The key objectives of this project were
to provide capacity building for Indonesian officials
thorough demonstration and involvement of BOT and
concession projects, implemented using a competitive
bidding approach, to ensure that the processes were
consistent with new laws, and to provide other expert
inputs to the Government of Indonesia's efforts
and policy making process in promoting increased
private sector investment in urban infrastructure.
Jakarta Water Supply Sector
Project, Stages I, II (World Bank, 1994-1997)
ACIL Tasman was engaged as Institutional
Strengthening/Public Sector Reform Specialist to
advise the Government of Indonesia on a water management
strategy for Jakarta. Our team advised on private
sector participation in the sector, which included
assessment of the existing economic, legal and regulatory
structures and recommendations for new arrangements
which would faciliitate greater participation of
the private sector in financing, construction and
management of infrastructure projects. Major regulatory
issues remaining under consideration include retail
pricing and tariff review procedures, service standards,
management of groundwater, water quality and bulk
water supply pricing. The allocation of commercial
and other risks also requires detailed consideration,
along with mechanisms for reducing overall risks
associated with water sector investments.
Regional Water Sector Supply
Project, Indonesia (World Bank, 1994-1996)
The focus of this project was on improving
management of local water companies to increase
their capacity to become financially self-reliant
or attract external finance for infrastructure development.
The improvement of financing systems was seen as
the key to expanded water supply connections.
