100 days program

The 100-days program should be aimed at solving the conflict between public and private firms with new infrastructure rather than mere corruption, collusion and nepotism (KKN). My main concern is Presidential Decision No. 5, Sept. 15, 2003, on the economic policy package for pre- and post-IMF programs.

First, public and private partnerships (PPP) should be defined by the Indonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI) as soon as possible. Second, the "stakeholder process" and partnerships should be initiated by the National Development Planning (BAPPENAS). Third, multi-sector projects should involve the cooperation of the government and scientists, as well as producers and consumers. Therefore, the government's long-term vision should concern national and international resources and development infrastructure. TJAHJOKARTIKO GONDOKUSUMO Jakarta
