Jakarta (ANTARA) - The State Apparatus and Bureaucratic Reform Ministry will launch an integrated national digital service platform limited to 40 thousand users at the end of this month.

The platform includes the integrated public service portal INAku, the government administration portal INAgov, and the integrated digital identity INApas. As an initial trial, the government is targeting 40 thousand feedback responses by the end of 2024.

"We are expecting 10 to 40 thousand feedback responses to fix the digital service platform so we can make improvements," State Apparatus and Bureaucratic Reform Minister Abdullah Azwar Anas stated at the 2024 National Coordination Meeting for the Acceleration and Expansion of Regional Digitalization (P2DD) in Jakarta on Monday.

After reaching the target of 40 thousand feedback responses for evaluation, his side would launch the platform gradually next year.

"In 2025, this will be gradually launched in certain areas for a pilot project," Anas remarked.

The minister highlighted that Presidential Regulation Number 82 of 2023 regulates the implementation of this digital service portal.

According to Anas, implementing an integrated digital service portal aims to accelerate development growth.

He then cited Estonia, which registered a 10-fold growth in gross domestic product (GDP) per capita in 20 years due to a digitalized and integrated service platform.

"China was also able to reduce poverty by 0.6 percent due to the accuracy of the assistance targets and also digital-based government programs," he stated.

On the same occasion, Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Airlangga Hartarto, as head of the P2DD Task Force, outlined the realization of several activities and achievements from his side.

In the first semester of 2024, the implementation of the Regional Government Transaction Electronification (ETPD) policy was recorded at 87.9 percent, or 480 regional governments at the digital level.

Furthermore, Hartarto encouraged the regional government digital transaction ecosystem by strengthening the role of Regional Development Banks (BPD) in providing services to support the digitalization of regional taxes and levies.
