Commissioning Knowledge for Policy: Reforms in the Procurement of Research in Indonesia

---

This working paper examines the reform of public procurement regulations for research in Indonesia and the efforts of the Knowledge Sector Initiative (KSI) and its partners to address regulatory barriers to the commissioning and use of research evidence. Existing procurement regulations made it difficult for government institutions to commission policy-relevant research from universities and non-government research organisations. The study describes the problem-driven approach adopted by KSI, including problem identification, stakeholder engagement, analysis, strategy development and implementation. It highlights the importance of political knowledge, local leadership, relationship-building and adaptive strategies in navigating complex institutional and regulatory environments. The reform process involved government agencies, research organisations and other stakeholders working together to develop changes to procurement regulations and supporting guidelines. The experience demonstrates that institutional and policy reform requires more than technical solutions; it also depends on understanding political relationships, building broad support and creating practical opportunities for change.
