During the OECD session, Menpan-RB is wearing commitment to strengthen open government

Jakarta – Minister of Administrative Reform and Bureaucratic Reform (PANRB), Rini Widyantini, emphasizes Indonesia’s dedication to strengthening the open government as an attempt to bring people closer to the government. The application of digital technology is considered a bridge to increase the confidence in government. “The goal is very human, to ensure that access to health, education, licensing and social protection is an equal right, not a privilege for every citizen,” Rini said in a written statement on Friday (10/10/2025). He spoke before the OECD Deputy Secretary General Mary Beth Goodman and related officials. Browse to continue the content, Rini explained that open government is not just a technical reform of procedures and regulations, but a very human agenda. “It is manifested in the dignity of a mother who receives social assistance without bureaucratic obstacles, the justice feels by a farmer when he sees the use of village funds, justice for residents with disabilities who gain access to the government documents online, and the confidence in which residents know that their votes truly heard and acted,” he said. As a OECD ATTACK, Indonesia is committed to aligning with world standards. Rini determined that the 2025 OECD index of digital trading integration and openness (Indigo) meeting in Jakarta emphasized the importance of integration between digital transformation, innovation and open government as an integrated path to stronger trust and democracy. “Currently, we are finalizing a comprehensive legal framework on digital government, which serves not only as a legal framework, but also as a bridge that connects our long-term reforms in e-government systems, data management, service integration and public participation,” he said. Rini added that technology now plays a major role in the transformation of government management. Therefore, digitalization and the use of technology in government are part of reform efforts. “We are currently building the digital public infrastructure of Indonesia, which includes digital identity, data exchange and digital payment systems to create a more integrated, transparent and efficient government,” he added. Rini said that the current challenges not only require strong commitment, but also the courage to learn and the courage to act. “We look forward to the ongoing exchange of best practices, strengthening public spaces and ensuring that the promise of open government in every country is realized,” he explained.
