In Indonesia, the national strategic development plan emphasizes the role of digital transformation in increased productivity, effective service delivery, and job creation. The Ministry of Communication and Informatics (MCI/Kominfo) is preparing Indonesia’s “Digital Nation Roadmap” to accelerate the country’s digital readiness and competitiveness. This study was commissioned by the MCI to support the formation of this “Digital Roadmap” and to provide an assessment of the digital skills landscape in Indonesia, which will then guide the formulation of concrete actions and policies outlined within the Roadmap document.

The report is jointly prepared by the SMERU Research Institute, University of Oxford and the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP).
