JAKARTA – The Ministry of Villages and Development of Disadvantaged Regions (Kemendes PDT) held a technical guidance session on performance report preparation in Jakarta in November 2026, aimed at following up on the 2025 Government Agency Performance Accountability (AKIP) evaluation results from the Ministry of Administrative and Bureaucratic Reform (PANRB).

Based on the report from the Monitoring, Evaluation, and Performance Reporting Working Team, Kemendes PDT's 2025 AKIP score stood at 67.86 with a "Good" (Baik) predicate and a performance reporting component achievement of 77.20%. However, the Ministry of PANRB noted several weaknesses requiring immediate remediation, including performance achievement data that was not fully reliable due to data discrepancies between ministry-level reports and individual work unit reports. Additionally, several work units failed to present realization data comparisons and resource efficiency analyses linked to performance achievements.

A resource person from the Ministry of PANRB emphasized that performance reports must not merely serve as accountability documents or activity recaps, but rather as instruments for evaluation and continuous improvement. In their directives, the speaker conveyed that all performance indicators in the Performance Agreement (Perjanjian Kinerja / PK) must be addressed and analyzed in depth covering achieved, unachieved, or target-exceeding indicators accompanied by specific explanations of driving and inhibiting factors.

To address data inconsistency issues, all work units are encouraged to optimize the use of the e-SAKIP application as an integrated data measurement and management base ranging from Echelon II to ministry levels. Regarding delays in data availability that typically finalize only in January or February, the speaker suggested that work units transparently utilize provisional data or data from the previous year, followed by updates once definitive data becomes available. Furthermore, completed performance reports must undergo a review process by the Inspectorate General (Government Internal Supervisory Apparatus / APIP) to ensure data reliability and validity.

As a follow-up, the Bureau of Planning and Cooperation is scheduled to issue an official letter to all Echelon I work units in early December 2026 regarding the timeline for preparing the 2026 Performance Report. This year's evaluation and performance measurement results will also serve as a basis for program improvement and as a consideration in setting targets for the 2027 Performance Agreement.
