The Acquisition of Research Knowledge by National-Level Decision Makers in Indonesia

---

This working paper examines how national-level decision makers in Indonesia acquire and use research knowledge to support their work and policymaking. The study provides a baseline for understanding the demand for research knowledge within government and for assessing future interventions of the Knowledge Sector Initiative. Using a mixed-methods approach, the research involved interviews with national-level decision makers from executive and legislative institutions. It explores the types of knowledge decision makers consider useful, the sources they rely on, the processes through which they identify research needs, gather research and expertise, and interpret the information obtained. The study finds that decision makers draw on a range of sources, including administrative and statistical data, research studies, expert advice, citizen experiences, policy implementation experience and media reports. It also identifies individual, institutional and system-level barriers that affect the acquisition and use of research knowledge. The findings provide important insights into how Indonesia's policy and knowledge systems can strengthen the demand for and effective use of research evidence in policymaking.
