Digital Government Outlook 2026: Indonesia
Table of contents
This country note presents an overview of the digital government landscape in Indonesia drawing on the results of the 2025 OECD Digital Government Index (DGI) and the 2025 OECD OURdata Index. The note outlines key policy developments in the country observed during the assessment period. It aims to inform policy dialogue and support Indonesia in advancing a whole-of-government approach to digital transformation in the public sector.
In the 2025 edition of the OECD Digital Government Index, Indonesia attained a score of 0.61, below the OECD average of 0.70 (Figure 1).
Indonesia recorded a higher score in Digital by Design (0.96), well above the OECD average of 0.75. This reflects Indonesia's sustained efforts to institutionalise whole-of-government digital governance through interoperability standards and integrated digital transformation initiatives across government.
Indonesia scored below the OECD average in Open by Default (0.37 vs 0.59), Government as a Platform (0.53 vs 0.71), Data-driven Public Sector (0.58 vs 0.74) and Proactiveness (0.58 vs 0.67). This suggests that Indonesia still has room for improvement in promoting the openness of government data, strengthening the whole-of-government adoption of shared platforms, and anticipating user needs through proactive service design.
In the 2025 edition of the OECD OURdata Index, Indonesia attained a score of 0.43, below the OECD average of 0.53 (Figure 2).
Indonesia scored below the OECD average across all three pillars: 0.43 in Data availability, 0.46 in Data accessibility and 0.39 in Government support for data re-use, compared with OECD averages of 0.53, 0.67 and 0.40, respectively. Data accessibility (0.46) was the relatively strongest pillar, while Government support for data re-use (0.39) was closest to the OECD average.
The lowest score was recorded in Government support for data re-use (0.39). This means that Indonesia could further strengthen mechanisms for monitoring the impact of open data and promoting its re-use within and beyond government.
Indonesia has established a whole-of-government digital governance framework. The Ministry of Administrative and Bureaucratic Reform (PANRB) leads this work, supported by the National Electronic-Based Government Systems (SPBE) coordination team under Presidential Regulation No. 95/2018 on Electronic-Based Government Systems and Presidential Regulation No. 132/2022 on the National SPBE Architecture. The Master Plan for Digital Government 2018–2025 guided digital policy during the assessment period. Current reforms increasingly focus on integrated digital government, interoperability, and user-centric public services.
A comprehensive public sector data strategy has been established in Indonesia through Presidential Regulation No. 39 of 2019 concerning One Data Indonesia (SDI). The policy ensures the availability of accurate, integrated, and accountable data across all levels of government. It sets standards for data, metadata, and interoperability, assigning clear roles to Data Producers, Data Guardians, and Data Custodians. More recently, Indonesia is developing a National Data Catalog System (SKDN) under the One Data Indonesia Action Plan 2025–2029 to strengthen data discoverability and metadata standardisation, ultimately enhancing interoperability across government
The adoption of artificial intelligence in Indonesia’s public sector is illustrated by use cases such as the Immigration Alert Surveillance System (IASS). This reflects broader efforts to integrate advanced data and biometric technologies into government operations.
Indonesia's human-centred services framework presents opportunities for development. A centralised catalogue of services accessible to users and systematic mechanisms for measuring user needs across the service lifecycle are not yet in place. Developing these capabilities could support more coherent and user-centred service delivery.
Further development of Indonesia’s digital investment framework could strengthen overall performance. In particular, a dedicated GovTech strategy and ex-post cost-benefit analysis of digital projects are not yet in place. Addressing these gaps could enhance innovation partnerships and enhance accountability for digital investments.
The OECD Digital Government Outlook (DGO) provides a comprehensive assessment of digital government policies across OECD Members and accession candidate countries. It draws on the results of the 2025 OECD Digital Government Index (DGI) and the 2025 OECD Open, Useful and Re-usable Data (OURdata) Index to evaluate progress and identify persistent gaps in digital transformation across the public sector.
The DGI assesses the enabling foundations for digital transformation across six dimensions: Digital by Design, Data-driven Public Sector, Government as a Platform, Open by Default, User-Driven and Proactiveness. Rather than measuring the digitalisation of specific services, the DGI focuses on the strategies, policy levers, implementation practices and monitoring mechanisms that enable coherent, whole-of-government digital transformation.
The OURdata Index benchmarks the robustness of open government data policies across three pillars: data availability, data accessibility and government support for data re-use. It supports policymakers in monitoring the design and implementation of national open government data policies.
Both indices were developed with OECD Member countries through the OECD Working Party of Senior Digital Government Officials (E-Leaders) and approved by the OECD Public Governance Committee.
Figure 1: Data for Indonesia (2025 IDN*) cover the period from 1 January 2022 to 31 December 2023. The 2025 DGI OECD average does not include Germany and the United States and covers the period from 1 January 2023 to 31 December 2024. The composite score is the unweighted average of the six-dimension scores.
Figure 2: Data for Indonesia (2025 IDN*) cover the period from 1 January 2022 to 31 December 2023. The 2025 OURdata Index OECD average does not include Denmark, Hungary and the United States, and covers the period from 1 January 2023 to 31 December 2024. The composite score is the unweighted average of the three-pillar scores.
