The Government of Indonesia (GoI) is committed to accelerating the pace of poverty reduction and the President of Indonesia has declared that poverty reduction is among the highest development priorities of his administration. This commitment is reflected in Indonesia’s national medium-term development plan (Rencana Pembangunan Jangka Menengah Nasional, RPJMN, 2015-2019), as poverty rate is set to decrease from 11.25% in 2014 to 7-8% by 2019. Indonesia’s achievement to reduce poverty has been significant, as poverty rate since 1998 to date steadily decreases. However, more than 28.3 million Indonesians continue to live below the poverty line, while 30% of the population within 12.5% of the poverty line remain vulnerable to falling back into poverty. In a bid to intensify the poverty reduction effort, GoI has elevated the overall oversight and coordination of poverty and social protection programs to be under the Vice-President’s Office. Through Presidential Regulation No. 15/2010, the National Team for the Acceleration of Poverty Reduction (Tim Nasional Percepatan Penanggulangan Kemiskinan, TNP2K) was founded and given the mandate to carry out those oversight and coordination roles.
