Aligning Development Monitoring and Evaluation Data across Indonesian Ministries and Government Agencies: Governance, Standardisation and Interoperability
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: The use of multiple information systems in Indonesia's development planning, budgeting, monitoring, and evaluation creates a governance challenge when the same performance object is represented through different metadata, units, structures, and reference attributes. This study aims to analyze the factors shaping variations in the representation of development performance data across ministries/agencies and to compare policy pathways for improving data alignment at the national level. The study reconstructs a policy paper analysis into a qualitative, document based policy analysis using regulatory review, secondary evidence, an Urgency Seriousness Growth prioritization, a Governance Standardization Interoperability analytical framework, Logic Model analysis, and a seven criterion policy alternative matrix. The findings identify variation in performance data representation as the priority problem and variations in metadata, units, and data structures across systems as its most direct root. Three policy pathways are compared: harmonization of data governance and standards, cross system data exchange interoperability, and a national reference data source. The Logic Model assessment records scores of 56/60, 51/60, and 52/60, while the policy alternative matrix records 66/70, 58/70, and 60/70, respectively. The analysis indicates that harmonizing governance and data standards has the strongest alignment with the identified root problem and can provide a foundation for subsequent interoperability and reference-data arrangements while preserving the mandates of existing systems.
