Jakarta ● Thu, December 8, 2022
"Give me 1,000 men, I will unplug Mount Semeru from its roots. Give me 10 young people, I will shake the world." These are the words of our founding president Sukarno. Most would take these words as representing only the power of youths, but we take these as representing the power of intergenerational, multi sectoral collaborations to solve our nation's challenges.
Sukarno's words are very pertinent today, given that Indonesia, its public sector included, is at a critical juncture. In the next decade or sooner, one-third of our civil servants will retire and our productive population will reach its peak. This coincides with a time when we are navigating mega disruptions, such as COVID-19 and digitalization.
As we seek to build back better and leave no one behind, it behooves us to support civil service transformations. Wielding authority over state budgets, policies and law enforcement, our civil service is critical in solving future challenges.
