Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH

The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH is an international cooperation enterprise for sustainable development with worldwide operations. 
BACKGROUND
Decentralization of the Indonesian education system in 2003 has left the education sector with substantial governance gaps to fill.  Function assignments at the national, provincial, and local levels were unclear; information infrastructure was uncoordinated and not tied to performance; and power was unevenly shifted to the city/regency level with no clear accountability mechanisms. These resulted in systemic vulnerabilities to corruption, which the government resolved to address in recent years. 

GIZ has been actively supporting the National Strategy to Improve Anti-Corruption Education and Culture (ACEC) and its efforts to establish a culture of integrity in government agencies and education institutions, mobilize mass media and CSOs to actively participate in anti-corruption, and build integrity capacities and systems at many levels. While the ACEC has been largely successful in bringing corruption awareness into mainstream society, the fundamental weaknesses of post-devolution governance remain. Beyond anti-corruption education, systems that allow for greater transparency, accountability, and participation in government programs and processes need to be established.  In doing so, programs can be corruption-proofed at the outset and essential good governance reforms can take root.

Meanwhile, the GIZ Fit for School Program in Indonesia has been working through existing structures of the education sector to institutionalize evidence-based preventive measures like hand washing with soap and tooth brushing as part of daily routines in public elementary schools. The overall goal of the program is to create templates and human capacity development tools while strengthening governance systems that will allow government partners to manage, sustain, and scale up the program using their own manpower and financial resources. The Fit for School Approach recognizes the crucial role of  transparency, accountability, and participation as sources of “Clean Energy”, or integrity-based incentives, for driving partner action while setting the ideal preconditions for sustainability and scale-up. 

The Indonesian Education sector is implementing school based management by downloading substantial funding directly to the schools.  This allows for decision making on school level but also requires strong governance and management capacities of school heads to manage the funds on one hand, and capacity of the school community to demand transparency on how the funds are spent.
Recognizing a mutual interest in good governance, the GIZ Assistance in Preventing and Combating Corruption in Indonesia (PCC) and Fit for School Programs have thus agreed to collaborate on developing the anticorruption and public finance management capacity of public elementary schools and their respective school communities, with a specific focus on management of School Operational Funds (BOS).
