The objectives of the Social Assistance Reform Program Project for Indonesia are to support the conditional cash transfer program coverage expansion, strengthen its delivery system, and improve its coordination with other complementary social programs. Indonesia is the world’s largest archipelagic state, the fourth most populous nation, and the tenth largest economy with regard to purchasing power parity. It is a member of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations group of countries that have a combined population of 608.4 million and is also a member of the G-20. With more than 17,500 islands, of which 6,000 are inhabited, Indonesia has a population of over 250 million, with 300 distinct ethnic groups and over 700 languages and dialects. With a gross national income per capita of about US$3,440 (2015), Indonesia is currently classified as a lower-middle-income country and will transition to an upper-middle-income country with continued economic growth. The World Bank is well positioned to support the Government of Indonesia through the Social Assistance Reform Program. The integration of family-based SA schemes for poor and vulnerable families through CCTs is one of the key strategies in the National Medium-term Development Plan (Rencana Pembangunan Jangka Menengah Nasional, RPJMN) 2015–2019. The three main criteria for selecting these DLIs are that (a) the desired results are within control of the implementing agency, MoSA; (b) the DLIs are achievable in the program period; and (c) the DLIs are verifiable. The DLIs are designed combining both scalability (financing proportional to the progress toward achievement) and floating (disbursements made when they are met) features.
