Program
Background
The Knowledge Sector Initiative (KSI) is a joint program between the
Governments of Indonesia and Australia to improve the quality of public
policies in Indonesia through the use of research, analysis and evidence. The
program seeks to achieve this by supporting the capacity building of policy
research institutes; improving systems and regulations to support
research-based policy making; developing effective models for procuring and
using research to strengthen policies that will benefit the country’s poor; and
working with various intermediary organisations involved in making
research-based evidence accessible to policy makers including government, civil
society organisations and the media. The program, projected to be 15 years in
duration, started implementation in May 2013.
