DESCRIPTION:The case of Indonesia’s development priorities 2014-2019.\n\n
 Chair: Joe Ravetz\, Manchester Urban Institute\n\n\nHow can science-tech
 nology-innovation (STI) studies help with policy and policy-makers on th
 e ground?  Just as cities show layers through time\, many public institu
 tions seem to address the problems of the past.  But looking forward\, i
 n urban and economic development\, social policy and public services\, t
 here are new and powerful insights coming from non-Western settings.\n\n
 Taking the case of Indonesia\, this presentation (or perhaps more accura
 tely some stories from the field)\, explores  how policy innovations are
  structurally organised in the developing world\, and how they affect th
 e development on the ground. It depicts the case of development prioriti
 es in Indonesia 2014-2019 under President Joko Widodo’s administration. 
 While delivering his political promises “Nawacita” (or nine ideals\, rep
 resenting nine development agendas)\, the country also was committed to 
 the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)\, the National Determined Contr
 ibution in combating climate change (NDC)\, and Open Government Partners
 hip (OGP). In addition\, the advent of the digital economy has posed unp
 recedented challenges\, for the government’s bureaucracy and business pr
 ocesses.\n\nThrough some real stories from the field\, I argue that the 
 ways in which policy innovation is supported have a direct bearing on th
 e capability of the government to generate knowledge\, which in turn hel
 ps strengthen evidence-based policy and decision-making processes. There
   are signs of change in how the government\, particularly central or to
 p agencies and ministries\, can innovate for better development policy a
 nd practices. Some cases are presented to better understand the institut
 ional\, socio-political and economic conditions driving these changes\, 
 and their consequences for knowledge-based and evidence-based public pol
 icy.\n\nRefreshments are available at 15:45.
