Program Background

Prospera is a long-standing and trusted partner of the Government of Indonesia, and since 2018 has been supporting public sector reform in Indonesia. The most significant area of social sector reform is with the Ministry of Health. Prospera works to support the Ministry and the Minister to undertake reforms as enabled by the Omnibus Health Law (2023).

Prospera is a partnership between the Government of Australia’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade and the Government of Indonesia’s Coordinating Ministry for Economic Affairs. It aims to foster strong, sustainable, and inclusive economic growth in Indonesia. 

Prospera commenced in March 2018. Now in its second phase, Prospera will be completed in February 2026. The program combines advisers who have extensive knowledge of Indonesia with those who have experience in the Australian public service or emerging markets.

Building upon the success of Prospera and its well established advisory and relationship capability across a wide range of macroeconomic stakeholders, Indonesia and Australia have agreed to increase the investment of this program by AUD $27 million until project end to build a new Climate & Energy Transition capability to support the bilateral commitment of both countries on their reform agenda. 

Prospera aims to achieve three outcomes: 

Expanding markets, creating jobs – including building a robust private sector through a sound enabling environment; Growing jobs, capital and technology through trade and investment

Safeguarding economic and financial stability – including ensuring a strong foundation for growth through balanced macro-financial policy; strengthening financial system integrity through supervision and literacy

Improving public finances and government performance – including more revenue and better spending through improved policy and systems; improved government performance through data and public integrity bodies; and through public sector reform.
