Indonesia Human Development Report 2004

Indonesia's second NHDR focuses on financing Human Development. This Report is meant as follow-up of the first NHDR, and aims at showing how Indonesia can generate the resources needed to achieve higher levels of human development and how the country can develop a right-based/entitlements approach to human development needs. The Report explores all the different sources of finance for human development and assesses the capacity of regional governments to take up human development challenges by creating a productive environment, managing centrally-generated finance and raising their own funds. The ways in which the central government can distribute national funds in oder to achieve greater equity among regions is also assessed.
