Public service delivery in Indonesia has failed to win the hearts of the public. Such a stance is attributed to distortions, which owe their origins to the bureaucratic structure of the organization and administration of public service provision, as well as the haphazard work practices, all of which have undermined the efficiency of public service delivery. The public, as customers of services, has been plagued by accessibility problems, persistent delays, and rampant bureaucratic corruption. The lack of responsibility and authority by those delivering public services imply that strict adherence to rigid rules and regulations takes precedence over serving the interests of the public. Public service bureaucracy in Indonesia is indeed rule rather than customer driven. Besides, customers of public services have a weak bargaining position, which precludes their raising any complaints in case the services received fall short of their expectations and a far cry from fulfilling their satisfaction. In order to revitalize the image of the civil service the government must enhance the effectiveness, efficiency, and fairness in the delivery of public services. Nonetheless, making recommendations on the quality improvement is one thing, implementing them is another, even more complex issues. A number of changes must be effected; right from the top brass down to the first-line service providers, if the much cherished more customer-driven work ethics are to be instilled.

Civil society would be evolved if the government and public bureaucracy can be changed so that it will be more conducive for independent institutions which are free from too much state interventions. Government intervention in societal economic and political activities should be minimized unless it will improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the society in fulfilling their needs.

A more democratic public bureaucracy is also essential for developing a civil society. In effect, all citizens must be genuinely involved in governmental activities and public services through the governance bodies, referendum, polling or other mechanisms where they can control and influence public decision making process. Within the government, there must be redistribution of power so that check and balance among bureaucratic units can be maintained properly.

This article critically examines the family welfare data collected by the National Family Planning Board (BKKBN). Comparing the BKKBN's data with the UGM's data, the article demonstrates significant differences in family distribution, in most of the family welfare indicators. As a result, the categorization of families into family welfare stages between BKKBN's data and UGM's data differs considerably. This raises some issues on the reliability and validity of BKKBN's family welfare registration data. The article also discloses weaknesses embeded in the instrument and data collection processes which may hurt the reliability and validity of the BKKBN's data. Thus, the improvement of the instrument as well as the process of collecting data is absolutely necessary if the BKKBN is to more effectively implement its family welfare programs.

As in many Asian, African, and Latin American countries, democratization and devolution reforms have characterized the recent development of public management in Indonesia. This article analyses the current development of "good governance" in Indonesian local government. The main objective is to assess the level of transparency, the mechanisms for hiding, and the extent of corruption in district budgeting and accounting. The empirical data consists of 200 in-depth interviews with members of the executive, legislative and civil society institutions in six districts. The article concludes that national systems and traditions of politics and bureaucracy have a strong negative impact on local administrative procedures, leaving only marginal space for regional variance and improvements. There is a remarkable lack of transparency, and checks and balances in public financial affairs are largely absent in all districts. (Contemp Southeast Asia/GIGA)
