Apart from being a basis for improving government administration, this forum is also a reference for agencies in making decisions, preparing programs, and strengthening policies, so it needs to be strengthened and developed. Since it was implemented in 2016, the Yasinan Forum has become the most effective People’s Aspirations and Complaints Service Forum, becoming the main reference channel for the public in submitting complaints and grievances against development implementation practices held by local governments. Until 2021, there have been more than 2,500 complaints received and followed up quickly and precisely so that the Yasinan forum has become (1) a reliable complaint forum because it is guaranteed that every complaint will be followed up on (2) on an equal basis because in this forum there are no more “social status” restrictions between officials and the people, all of whom are in an “equal” position (3) are inclusive because all participants present are given the same chance and opportunities to channel their aspirations.

The implementation of the Yasinan Forum since 2016 has had a good impact on information disclosure, conveying aspirations, and providing services from the government to the community. However, the Yasinan forum must be given innovation in its implementation. In the case of aspirations conveyed directly, complaints that have been fulfilled or those that have not been fulfilled must be displayed. So that what has been conveyed by the community in the forum can be seen from the track record and monitored jointly. The Yasinan forum must be redeveloped in the form of an IT-based digital web.

3.5 Are there any recommended changes to the design of the commitment to help improve its implementation?
The poverty alleviation program is an issue that cannot be museumized. In any area, the issue of poverty has always been a frightening specter for policymakers. The main problem in poverty alleviation is the distortion of data issued by several stakeholders, which creates different perceptions and indicators of poverty. West Sumbawa Regency has established the FM 332 program as a poverty database that needs to be monitored on a time series basis and provide assistance to residents who are considered poor. FMM 33 has explicitly declared that as many as 3.32 West Sumbawa residents declared themselves as poor citizens who were witnessed by the public whose data was taken at the village level. However, the FM 332 data is sectoral in nature even though it was intervened by the sacred programs of the West Sumbawa Regional Leadership. Of course, this data will contradict the DTKS data issued by the Ministry of Social Affairs and other stakeholders. PMKS management is a joint work to be able to solve joint problems with the same object so it is hoped that there will be innovations that can reduce the poverty rate in West Sumbawa.

Realizing a Participatory, Quality, Accessible, and Beneficial One Data KSB for All Parties (Inclusive)
4.1 Is the commitment verifiable?
Yes
Provide a brief explanation of your answer:
Development planning, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation are determined by the availability of fast, up-to-date, and accurate data. At present, the availability of data is not complete and accurate (partial), there is still duplication and inconsistency of data on conditions that have an impact on policies, programs, and activities that have the potential to give birth to inefficiencies, ineffectiveness, and non-synergic development, policy interventions, strategies and program activities between OPDs, are not well targeted and can give birth to “confusion” of the parties. In fact, there is potential for data conflict, as in the case of social assistance. Presidential Regulation (Perpres) No. 39 of 2019 concerning Indonesia’s One Data is expected to produce an accurate and integrated Indonesian One Data. In order to support this policy, the KSB Government took the initiative to develop a One Data KSB based on mutual cooperation. Namely, the One Data program through the involvement of mutual cooperation agents. Gotong royong agents are tasked with assisting local governments in collecting data and developing data in each sector, region/level, starting from the lowest level (RT and Peliuk), Village/Kelurahan, District, to Regency with data indicators determined jointly between SKPD with society. However, this activity has not been able to run effectively, various obstacles and challenges have been faced, including (1) there is no OPD in charge of the One Data KSB specifically and there is an agreement on data indicators (one indicator) between SKPD (2) there is no technical guideline for the implementation of KSB One Data. (3) no data forum has been formed, at the village/kelurahan, sub-district, and district levels (4) there are still sectoral egos, weak coordination and synergy between SKPDs, and several other problems. Currently, accurate data is urgently needed to ensure and guarantee that policies, development programs, and public services are on target, effective, and efficient, as well as the fulfillment of targets and quality of the main goals of regional development. KSB One Data by working together is expected to be able to present accurate data, as well as accommodate data indicators based on local wisdom. So KSB One Data does not only support One Data Indonesia but also provides certainty regarding the achievement of development programs at the regional and village levels.
4.2 Does the commitment language/activities clearly justify relevance to OGP values?

This program will support (1) the value of Government Openness, namely transparency, and accountability.

Is a positive change to a process, practice or policy but will not generate a binding or institutionalized change across government or specific institution(s).

So that it can be said that all Commitments in The Open Government Partnership Local Action Plan for West Sumbawa Regency are synergizing and collaborating with each other to contain the values of the Open Government Partnership, namely transparency, accountability, participation, and innovation.
4.5 Are there any recommended changes to the design of the commitment to help improve its implementation?
In realizing the one-data KSB, cross-sectoral support is certainly needed. KSB One Data is expected to become a storefront for West Sumbawa with accurate, fast, and accountable data presentation. Data availability, both macro data released by the West Sumbawa Regency Central Bureau of Statistics and sector data available in each OPD. The macro and sectoral data will provide convenience for the community and regional government in intervening in data-based regional programs. This will make it easier for the government to make policies.
5. Commitment :
Realizing Gotong Royong Posyandu as a Center for Service, Empowerment, and Development at the Community Level.
5.1 Is the commitment verifiable?
Yes
Provide a brief explanation of your answer:
So far, the space for community involvement in the development process has been more open in the planning process starting from the village to the national level, for example through the Development Planning Meeting (Musrenbang). Unfortunately, community involvement often only stops at that stage. The public has not been much involved in the process of program implementation, monitoring, and evaluation. Communities as beneficiaries of government programs should be directly involved to assess whether the program is useful, needs to be continued, reviewed, or must be stopped and replaced with a more appropriate program. This public assessment is not solely to ensure that development program activities have been carried out but is also a mechanism for assessing the impact of these programs as well as providing feedback to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the use of public budgets. Community-Based Development Program Evaluation Mechanisms allow direct community involvement in assessing the impact and benefits of a development program. This is possible because the Community-Based Development Program Evaluation is carried out using the concept of community involvement in an open process between the community and the government. In the Evaluation of Community-Based Development Programs, there are structured discussions with policymakers, communities, and experts who can produce assessments and recommendations regarding programs that are already running.

Yes

This activity involves intervention program activities of Regional Officials not only from the health aspect but also covers other aspects such as economy, education, socio-culture, and others.
