RKPD Kabupaten Klungkung 2023 — Policy Review
Rencana Kerja Pemerintah Daerah
Executive Summary
RKPD Klungkung 2023 is the one-year operational plan that translates the 2018–2023 RPJMD into funded programs and measurable targets. It is explicitly aligned with Indonesia’s national planning doctrine (THIS: Tematik, Holistik, Integratif, Spasial; and money follows program) and anchors to the 2023 national RKP theme “Peningkatan Produktivitas untuk Transformasi Ekonomi yang Inklusif dan Berkelanjutan.” For investors, the document matters because it: (i) spells out four clear local priorities (human capital & culture, public-service infrastructure, poverty reduction & inclusive growth, and bureaucracy reform); (ii) opens multiple co-financing windows (PPP/KPS, CSR, inter-regional cooperation, grants/loans); and (iii) ties programs to indicators that are tracked and evaluated through the budget cycle (RAPBD).
What the RKPD 2023 Is (and How It’s Built)
Legal & planning function. RKPD is the annual plan containing the regional macro framework, priorities, programs, and financing, and it serves as the formal guideline for drafting the RAPBD (budget).
Derivation & process. It is a direct elaboration (penjabaran) of the RPJMD 2018–2023. Drafting started in Dec-2021, followed by public consultation (7 Feb 2022), cross-agency alignment (Musrenbang), and iterative finalization to ensure OPD programs, indicators, targets, budget ceilings and locations are synchronized with provincial and national priorities.
Planning doctrine. National rules require the THIS approach and program-based budgeting to concentrate resources on priorities—principles the RKPD 2023 explicitly adopts.
Strategic Alignment in 2023
National theme & priorities. The RKPD embraces the 2023 RKP theme—productivity-led, inclusive, sustainable transformation—broken down into seven national priorities (economic resilience; spatially balanced development; competitive human capital; mental revolution & culture; infrastructure; environment & disaster/ climate; stability & governance).
Provincial priorities (Bali). Klungkung aligns with Bali’s 2023 list (food/clothing/housing; tourism; social security & jobs; culture; infrastructure; health & education; governance & public services).
Local priorities (Klungkung). Four headline priorities steer the 2023 program portfolio:
Pembangunan manusia berbudaya (education, health, skills & cultural assets);
Infrastruktur pelayanan publik;
Penanggulangan kemiskinan & penguatan ekonomi;
Reformasi birokrasi.
These are explicitly synchronized with national and provincial agendas.
Macro & Sectoral Signals Relevant to Investors
Tourism-led recovery & diversification need. The official trendline for Nusa Penida shows a pre-pandemic surge followed by a COVID shock: 2015 (162,226) → 2018 (1,153,057) → 2019 (1,402,830), then 2020 (121,975) and 2021 (1,532). This underlines large latent demand and the policy focus on resilient infrastructure and services to support recovery and spread benefits.
Human capital & cultural economy. The plan links human-development and cultural preservation outcomes to quantified targets via the performance tables (e.g., IPM; coverage of preserved cultural assets) used to evaluate 2023 delivery.
Financing Architecture & Co-Investment Windows
RKPD 2023 does not rely solely on APBD. It lays out non-government financing policies that matter directly to private capital:
PPP/KPS windows. The plan promotes PPPs (BOT, BTO, and other forms) to bring private capital and delivery expertise to priority infrastructure.
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). CSR is framed as a structured co-financing avenue; the document cites a live example—PT Indonesia Power’s CSR funding of the TOSS (Tempat Olah Sampah Setempat) waste processing program.
Inter-regional & non-government partnerships. Collaboration across local governments and with domestic/international institutions is encouraged to enable technology transfer, capacity building, and resource pooling.
Loans & grants (including ODA). The plan opens the door to external financing for strategic public infrastructure with high economic multipliers.
From Priorities to Programs, Budgets & Indicators
Program book & budget link. Priority programs for 2023 are enumerated in RKPD’s program table (Lampiran Tabel 5.1), which then cascades into OPD workplans and the RAPBD—i.e., there is a direct line from policy to allocation.
Performance management. The document sets out Indikator Kinerja Utama (IKU) and Indikator Kinerja Kunci that tie each priority to outcomes and outputs with 2023 targets. This is the basis for quarterly evaluation and course-correction in budget execution.
What This Means for Prospective Investors
1) Clear demand backstops & spatial focus.
Tourism’s pre-COVID trajectory and policy emphasis on resilient services create strong cases for: solid-waste systems (e.g., TOSS expansion), water & sanitation, last-mile roads/jetties for island tourism (Nusa Penida/Lembongan), digital connectivity, and public-service facilities with measurable service KPIs.
2) Multiple bankable routes into projects.
With PPP/KPS explicitly endorsed, investors can propose BOT/BTO or similar structures; CSR can de-risk or top up capex (especially for ESG-aligned assets); inter-regional and grant/loan options can blend finance and reduce WACC.
3) Policy coherence reduces execution risk.
The four local priorities are demonstrably synchronized with national and provincial agendas, enhancing the likelihood of approvals, co-funding, and technical support—important for permitting, land, and inter-agency coordination.
4) Measurable outcomes and accountability.
Because programs are tied to indicators, annual targets, and the RAPBD process, investors gain visibility on government counterpart actions and service levels—useful for PPP performance regimes and ESG reporting.
Risks & Mitigations (and How RKPD Addresses Them)
Tourism cyclicality. Pandemic-scale shocks are real; the plan hedges through infrastructure service quality, human-capital strengthening, and integrated spatial planning (THIS) to diversify benefits and spread risk.
Implementation friction. Multi-actor delivery can stall; Musrenbang alignment and the indicator-based management cycle are designed to keep OPD programs coherent and trackable through to the budget.
Funding gaps. The non-government financing policy explicitly solicits PPP, CSR and external financing, which investors can leverage to structure blended deals.
Priority Opportunity Map (Illustrative)
Waste & circularity: Scale TOSS-type assets county-wide (design-build-operate with tariff/CSR blends).
Mobility & access: Feeder roads, jetties, way-finding, and safety infrastructure aligned to tourism nodes and service-delivery facilities (PPP/BOT/BTO).
Social infrastructure: Clinics, schools, cultural venues with measurable service KPIs and O&M performance regimes anchored in IKU/IKK tables.
Bottom Line
RKPD Klungkung 2023 offers a policy-secure, indicator-driven pipeline aligned up and down the planning stack. For Santi Capital and co-investors, the near-term actionable lanes are PPPs in core public-service infrastructure, ESG-aligned CSR co-financing (waste, water, social facilities), and blended structures that ride on the county’s synchronized priorities and national support. The combination of clear priorities, open co-financing policy, and measurable targets makes Klungkung one of Bali’s most investable local plans for 2023.
