NZODA Indonesia Strategy Review

PINZ, with the New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade, examined the rationale for the New Zealand aid programme to Indonesia across all existing development sectors.
The review was to examine the rationale for a NZODA programme and recommend strategies and objectives to make an effective NZODA contribution to the social and economic development of the people of Indonesia.

The project was designed with the aim of formulating a strategic direction framework based on the operating environment, the Government of Indonesia’s strategic policies and priorities, NZODA policies, and areas of New Zealand competitive advantage. Final recommendations were to address aid delivery, aid volume, and an appropriate administrative and management structure to ensure New Zealand’s effective aid contribution to development in Indonesia.
