Editor's Notes
The Kecamatan Development Project in Indonesia is a central government project focusing on poor villages and is highly dispersed. This is a high risk environment where corruption is common in all development projects. There are many opportunities and low risks for corrupt civil servants and a historical legacy of impunity. There is weak institutional control – with a dysfunctional judiciary, oversight institutions that have degenerated and NGOs that are highly constrained. Mapping is a key step in combating corruption.
Mapping identified the sources of corruption as shown
The solutions identified were mostly process changes that reduced the temptations and opportunities for corruption and increased levels of oversight with increased sanctions. The results of an audit show an overall reduction in the hijacking of funds from almost 30% to just over 20%. There was a bigger cut in ‘lost’ materials than in missing wages.
