BACKGROUND

Poverty reduction is the highest development priority of the Government of Indonesia. The National Community Empowerment Program or Program Nasional Pemberdayaan Masyarakat Mandiri (PNPM-Mandiri) is one of the main poverty reduction programs of the Government. The work of the Poverty Team is a complement to the programmatic focus of PNPM by providing an analytical overview of poverty and strategic inputs for programmatic direction to assist pro-poor growth.

The Government of Indonesia faces many challenges that threaten the success of on-going efforts to reduce poverty due to weak public service institutions, global shocks such as fuel and commodity prices and the recent financial crisis. The Government of Indonesia continues to look to the World Bank for policy and technical support and support to build the capacity of its public institutions. It seeks assistance to address these challenges and deliver results.

The new Country Partnership Strategy FY2009 –FY2012 has a strong focus on institutional capacity building and a refocus on client based approaches to all engagement areas including the poverty reduction work program.

The work of the Poverty Team will be supported under the PNPM Support Facility (PSF) Trust Fund. A Poverty digest has been created and the Dutch Government has provided the World Bank with a child trust fund to assist the Government of Indonesia (GoI) to focus on poverty reduction, inform policy formulation, and improve data quality, target capacity building activities that builds institutions and a focus on regional/local government poverty evaluation and monitoring activities. The World Bank has used part of this assistance to create a multi-disciplinary Poverty Team with a four year work program.
