JAKARTA – The Ministry of Administrative and Bureaucratic Reform (PANRB) has been formally recognized as a Strategic Partner for National Digital Transformation by the Ministry of Communication and Information (Komdigi). The award was presented to PANRB Minister Rini Widyantini by Komdigi Minister Meutya Hafid during the Declaration of Indonesia's Digital Direction event in Jakarta, spotlighting PANRB's leading role in strengthening the government's digital transformation framework.
Minister Rini Widyantini accepted the accolade, emphasizing its significance as a catalyst for strengthened commitment. She stated that the award should serve as a beacon to guide efforts toward an inclusive, secure, and sovereign digital Indonesia. The minister underscored that success is contingent on synergy across all government institutions, collaborative strength between central and regional authorities, and unified?? from government, industry, academia, and the public.
The award signifies a major milestone in the ongoing strategic partnership between the two ministries. For some time, PANRB and Komdigi have been intensifying their synergy to accelerate the digital transformation of the government apparatus. This collaboration is foundational to creating a more integrated and effective digital governance ecosystem that directly benefits citizens.
Central to PANRB's strategy is a focus on user-oriented policy and adaptive business processes. The ministry's approach to digitalization is deliberately aligned with the continuously evolving challenges of public service delivery. This ensures that technological adoption is not merely for its own sake but is fundamentally driven by user needs and streamlined governmental processes.
A critical technical pillar of this transformation is the emphasis on data interoperability. As the leading sector for government digital transformation, PANRB stresses that seamless data exchange across platforms and agencies is non-negotiable. This interoperability is vital for accelerating the achievement of National Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJMN) targets and for reinforcing the digital government foundation.
Beyond policy and infrastructure, the ministry is committed to fostering collaborative implementation. PANRB pledges to drive the acceleration of digital transformation through hands-on collaboration in executing projects and formulating strategic policies. This commitment moves the agenda from planning to tangible action and results on the ground.
The strengthened synergy between Komdigi and PANRB is expected to yield a faster, more directed, and responsive digital transformation journey. By working in concert, the ministries aim to ensure that the government's digital evolution keeps pace with the dynamic needs of Indonesia's public services, making them more accessible and efficient for all.
In her closing remarks, Minister Rini firmly positioned the award within the context of collective national effort. She affirmed that digital transformation is not the work of a single institution but a shared endeavor, stating that PANRB stands ready to improve the governance of government digital service business processes as part of the broader national orchestration led by Komdigi.
