The real capacity of the East Kalimantan Province 2018

On the basis of the decline in the real capacity of the financial of East Kalimantan Province, so to all regional apparatuses and city government to use the existing budget more focused on the super priority program using the Money Follow Function policy no longer using the Money Follow Follow Function policy in accordance with President Joko Widodo (Jokowi).

According to Jokowi, if the budget of each ministry of institution is only in accordance with the function of the position without being followed by a priority program, the results that will be given by the government to the community will not be felt. Prisiden Jokowi revealed when delivering direction to a number of Working Cabinet Ministers a few months ago.

Based on the opinion of the Coordinating Minister (Coordinating Minister) for the Economy Darmin Nasution, the ministers must 'dare' to regulate their subordinates such as echelon I and II officials related to the preparation of priority programs. Because, whether or not the budget that will be provided in the 2017 RKP depends on the priority program, he said. "That is why his orders descended to his ministers. That was a test to his minister," said Darmin at the State Palace, Jakarta, Thursday (11/2/2016). Quoting from the mass media.

Darmin explained, what President Jokowi meant was the budget for projects and goods used according to priority programs that had been neatly prepared. Jokowi did not want a budget request in advance, but there was no priority program.

The policy of using the East Kalimantan budget

In line with the policy of using the budget from the central government, the Provincial Government of East Kalimantan starting in 2017 and the following year has implemented a Money Follow Program policy. The implementation of the Money Follow Program policy by the Provincial Government of East Kalimantan is certainly aimed at increasing the priority expenditure efficiency of the 2017 fiscal year and 2018.

Principles of Money Follow Programs are carried out to secure the allocation of funds in priority programs and increase efficiency for priority program expenditure. Implimation of the approach is carried out by pursing or focusing on priority programs/priority activities, integrating various funding sources (ministries/institutions, subsidies, grants, special allocation funds, village funds and financing through SOEs), and detailed discussions for project preparation.
