LKPP Seeks to Break Corruption in Government Procurement Through Anti-Corruption Training
In an effort to break corrupt practices in government procurement of goods and services (PBJP), the Public Procurement Agency (LKPP) is strengthening the integrity of procurement actors and their ecosystem.
The effort is being pursued through the Anti-Corruption and Corruption Prevention Training Programme (AKPK) in Government Procurement of Goods and Services (PBJP).
Head of LKPP, Sarah Sadiqa, said that the procurement of goods and services is one of the sectors that requires serious attention in the fight against corruption.
Based on data from the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) for the period 2004 to the second quarter of 2025, there were 426 corruption cases related to the procurement of goods and services. This figure places procurement as the second most common corruption offence after gratuities/bribery, which reached 1,068 cases.
“As conveyed earlier by the Deputy Chairman of the KPK (Ibnu Basuki Widodo), corruption cases number two after bribery are the procurement of goods and services. We do not want number two to have a bad connotation. We want number two to be the best,” she said at a press conference in Jakarta on Wednesday (26/8).
Furthermore, through the Anti-Corruption and Corruption Prevention Training Programme in PBJP, LKPP aims to drive a transformation so that the procurement of goods and services is not only an object of corruption prevention, but also becomes an important part of the fight against corruption.
“In essence, we want to carry out a transformation, not merely compiling modules or curricula or attending training, but transforming the people themselves,” she said.
Sarah said the programme does not only target procurement professionals, but also parties who have authority and control in the procurement process, such as Budget User Authorities (KPA) and heads of Procurement of Goods and Services Work Units (UKPBJ).
LKPP has also prepared an ecosystem track that can be followed by providers of goods and services, Government Internal Supervisory Apparatus (APIP), and community groups.
“So in addition to the two groups mentioned earlier, providers, then the APIP, then other elements of the ecosystem, community groups or the public can also participate. We provide that on the ecosystem track,” she said.
Meanwhile, Head of the LKPP Centre for Human Resources Training in Procurement of Goods and Services, Gusti Agung Aju Diah Ambarawaty, said the training programme is targeted to be attended by ministries, institutions, and regional governments.
In addition to face-to-face training and blended learning methods, LKPP provides a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) to broaden participant access.
After attending the training, participants are required to prepare an action plan for preventing corruption in the procurement of goods and services in their respective ministries/institutions.
LKPP will then conduct an evaluation to see the impact of the programme on the work environment and organisation.
“The action plans for preventing corruption in the procurement of goods and services in their respective environments are what we will monitor. So later we will conduct an evaluation at level 3, where we will see whether it has a positive impact on the work environment and also on the organisation,” she said.
The Anti-Corruption and Corruption Prevention Training (AKPK) in Government Procurement of Goods and Services (PBJP) has received support from the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) and the National Institute of Public Administration (LAN). The KPK will play a role in monitoring, while LAN supports strengthening the competence and integrity of officials involved in procurement.
