Public procurement reform is a key component of this policy. Despite the decentralization of financial responsibility and authority to relatively autonomous local level governments, procurement reform in Indonesia is a centrally-driven effort. In this paper, we examine the extent to which procurement reform is translating into improvements in sub-national performance. Data on local government procurement expenditures point to an overall decline in the volume of procurement, especially in poorer districts. This paper uses qualitative case studies of procurement reform in six local governments and finds that local government leadership is associated with the uptake of reform. There is little evidence to suggest that procurement reform has been "demand''-led, since neither the private sector nor Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) have been active in advocating for procurement reform.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO SERVICESACCOUNTABILITYACCREDITATION FOR PROCUREMENT PROFESSIONALSADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSESADMINISTRATIVE REFORMSADMINISTRATIVE STAFFANNUAL PROCUREMENTAPPOINTEEAUDITINGAUDITSBID DOCUMENTSBID RIGGINGBIDDERSBIDDINGBIDSBRIBERYBUDGETINGBUSINESS ASSOCIATIONBUSINESS ASSOCIATIONSBUSINESS COMMUNITYBUSINESS SURVEYSBUSINESSESCAPACITY BUILDINGCAPITAL EXPENDITURESCAPITAL INVESTMENTCAPITAL INVESTMENTSCERTIFICATIONCERTIFICATION SYSTEMCHAMBER OF COMMERCECIVIL SERVANTCIVIL SERVANTSCIVIL SOCIETIESCIVIL SOCIETYCIVIL SOCIETY ORGANIZATIONSCOLLUSIONCOLLUSIVE PRACTICESCOMPETITIVENESSCOMPLAINTCOMPLAINTSCONTRACT AWARDCONTRACT MANAGEMENTCONTRACT OPPORTUNITIESCONTRACT PERFORMANCECONTRACTORCONTRACTOR PERFORMANCECONTRACTORSCORRUPTCORRUPT PRACTICESCORRUPTIONDEMOCRACIESDEMOCRACYDISCRETIONDISPUTE RESOLUTIONE-GOVERNMENTE-PROCUREMENTECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTELECTRICITYELECTRONIC PROCUREMENTEPROCUREMENTEXPENDITUREEXTORTIONFINANCIAL MANAGEMENTFREEDOM OF INFORMATIONGOVERNANCE REFORMSGOVERNMENT CONTRACTSGOVERNMENT CORRUPTIONGOVERNMENT EXPENDITURESGOVERNMENT OFFICIALSINITIATIVEINTEGRITYINTERNATIONAL STANDARDSINVESTIGATIONLAWSLEADERSHIPLEGAL INFRASTRUCTURELOBBYINGLOCAL CONTRACTORSLOCAL GOVERNMENTLOCAL GOVERNMENT PROCUREMENTMALFEASANCEMANAGERIAL SKILLSMANUFACTURINGMEDIANATIONAL PROCUREMENTNATURAL RESOURCENATURAL RESOURCESNETWORKSNEW TECHNOLOGIESNEW TECHNOLOGYOPEN ACCESSORGANIZATION OF PROCUREMENTPOLITICIANPOLITICIANSPRIVATE SECTORPRIVATE SECTORSPROCUREMENTPROCUREMENT COMMITTEEPROCUREMENT CONTRACTSPROCUREMENT EXPENDITURESPROCUREMENT ISSUESPROCUREMENT MONITORINGPROCUREMENT OPERATIONSPROCUREMENT PERFORMANCEPROCUREMENT PLANSPROCUREMENT POLICIESPROCUREMENT PRACTICESPROCUREMENT PROCESSPROCUREMENT PROCESSESPROCUREMENT REFORMPROCUREMENT REGULATIONSPROCUREMENT SOFTWAREPROCUREMENT SYSTEMPROCUREMENT SYSTEMSPROCUREMENT TRAININGPROCUREMENT TRANSACTIONSPROCUREMENT VOLUMEPRODUCTIVITYPUBLICPUBLIC FUNDSPUBLIC MONEYPUBLIC OFFICIALPUBLIC OFFICIALSPUBLIC PROCUREMENTPUBLIC PROCUREMENT OF GOODSPUBLIC PROCUREMENT PROCEDURESPUBLIC PROCUREMENT REFORMPUBLIC PROCUREMENT SYSTEMPUBLIC WORKSPURCHASINGRADIORADIO STATIONSREAL PROCUREMENTREGULATORY FRAMEWORKRELIABILITYREPORTINGRESULTSERVICE DELIVERYSOCIAL DEVELOPMENTSTANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURESSTANDARDIZATIONSUPERVISIONTECHNICAL ASSISTANCETECHNICAL DEPARTMENTSTECHNICAL EXPERTISETECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONSTECHNICAL SUPPORTTENDER DOCUMENTSTENDER PROCESSTENDERSTHEFTTIME PERIODTRANSACTIONTRANSPARENCYTRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURETRANSPORTATION NETWORKUNFAIR COMPETITIONUNIT COSTSUSERSUSESVIOLENCEWEBWINNING BIDDER10.1596/1813-9450-6977
