Accelerating the 2010 National Development Priorities

In order to expedite the implementation of the 2010 National Development Priorities, the President issued Instruction No. 1 of 2010 on Acceleration of the Implementation of the 2010 National Development Priorities. The instruction essentially consists of general directions for the President’s administration for successful implementation of the 2010 National Development Priorities.

The 2010 National Development Priorities are generated from three sources set out in Point 1 of the instruction, and are programmatic goals that the government will seek to accomplish in the coming years. Point 2 of the instruction lists those 14 programs, which include those around infrastructure, energy, and the investment climate. The Attachment to the instruction provides details on each program: means used to achieve the programs, deadlines, expected outcomes, and those governmental authorities responsible for the programs.

As one example of the programs under the investment and business climate priority, there is the simplification of investment licensing through the establishment of One Door Integrated Services (‘PTSP’) in 33 provinces and 40 regencies/municipalities, along with electronic information and licensing services. With a view to removing barriers to investment, these are intended to be an operational reality by December 2010, with the Capital Investment Coordinating Board (‘BKPM’) as the principal authority.

Each of the governmental authorities responsible for each program within the 2010 National Development Priorities is required to regularly report their progress with implementation to the President.

This instruction has been in force since 19 February 2010.
