Law Number 23 of 2014 on Regional Government

Back
  • In accordance with Article 18 paragraph (7) of the 1945 Constitution, the structure and procedures for the administration of regional government are regulated by law. The administration of regional government is directed towards accelerating the realization of public welfare. The efficiency and effectiveness of regional government administration need to be improved by paying more attention to aspects of the relationship between the Central Government and regions, inter-regional relations, regional potential and diversity, as well as opportunities and challenges of global competition within the unity of the state governance system. Law No. 32 of 2004 is no longer in line with the developments in the situation, state governance, and the demands of regional government administration, thus it needs to be replaced.
