In the context of the bilateral cooperation between the Government of Germany and the Government of Indonesia, the Social Protection Programme (SPP) assists the Government of Indonesia in developing long-term strategies for a comprehensive system of Social Protection. The National Development Planning Agency (BAPPENAS) is its main partner. The collaboration was reinforced and strengthened during the German-Indonesian Government Negotiations in 2017. SPP is part of the "Sustainable Economic Development and TVET" priority area.
The New SPP aims to improve risk coverage and promote the independent economic existence of the poor and vulnerable to contribute to innovative approaches to complement the social protection system for the poor and vulnerable. The project works in the following intervention areas: (1) Adaptive Social Protection (ASP) with a focus on capacity development for BAPPENAS and another key stakeholder in performing their tasks to lead the policy consultation at the national level and facilitating the development of the strategic recommendation for expanding social protection against risks from extreme weather events and natural disasters; (2) Financial Inclusion by supporting PT Pos in modernising its services through the digital giro platform and expanding savings products which will increase access to financial services for poor and vulnerable groups; and (3) Labor market access for Person with Disabilities by providing advisory services and technical support for the development of the concept and strategy of inclusive design from employment promotion instruments and reform plans for the vocational education and training sector, through the Social Security Administering Body, BPJS Ketenagakerjaan and other key stakeholders.
Further, from the 1st of January 2022, SPP enters a new approach by introducing actuarial science technical support to redesign and rearrange the social security benefits for the Indonesian population and improve the programme's effectiveness and efficiency management under the leadership of Bappenas. This approach is aligned with President Joko Widodo's social protection reform agenda as endorsed on the 5th of January 2021.
