2010-2035, the Mahkamah Agung is now responsible for judicial
administration and budget that stretches from the MA headquarters into all of
Indonesia’s regions. The Supreme Court during budget discussions with
Government mentioned several times that there is issue of budget sufficiency
and distribution where some courts cannot operate in an effective manner due to
the lack of a precise preparation of the budget allocation. Based on the conditions
in accordance with the legislation in force, the Mahkamah Agung should
strengthen its budgetary management. Consequently, the Blueprint clearly states that “...the
success in the independent management of performance-based budget allocated
proportionally in the State Budget is one of the important factors that enable
the realization of Indonesian Judicial Court of Excellence”.
The Supreme Court needs to have instrument to
develop appropriate performance-based budgeting. In the Netherlands the Council
for the Judiciary determines the budget priorities using assessment methods
that measure indicators to assess the performance of the courts. Following this
example, it is intended to develop a methodology for introducing a
performance-based court budgeting in Indonesia as well. The activities will be
