The implementation of openness in the regions has been quite a lot with various specific issues being pushed by CSOs (Civil Society Organizations) in each province since the enactment of the 2008 Public Information Disclosure Act. However, in its implementation, there are still obstacles and resistance. at the provincial/district/city level by the government and local actors.
The government is still reluctant to implement information disclosure in the regions which shows the slow pace of UU KIP at the provincial/district/city level. The role of CSOs in promoting transparency is felt to be quite large through testing access and information disputes, such as in South Kalimantan province which was pushed by POKJA 30 and NTB by FITRA NTB. In addition to the access test, the success of CSOs in encouraging the implementation of openness can also be seen in the Provinces of Bali and NTB where the Sloka Institute and FITRA NTB succeeded in overseeing the formation of Provincial Information Commissions in their respective regions.
