Poverty reduction is the highest development priority of the current
administration. In 2010, a Presidential Regulation established a *National
Team for the Acceleration of Poverty Reduction* (TNP2K) to coordinate the
national poverty reduction strategy and improve the effectiveness of current
social protection programs. With *Vice-President Boediono as the chair*,
TNP2K operates as an "internal think-tank". It is responsible for conducting
research, drafting policies and programs, developing a national targeting
system, and carrying out monitoring and evaluation.
The *Poverty Reduction Support Facility (PRSF)* is designed in response to
the Vice President's request for Australia to provide support for TNP2K. The
goals and objectives of PRSF are aligned with TNP2K, and are consistent with
the overarching goals of sustainable poverty alleviation within the 2008-2013
AusAID Country Strategy under the Australia Indonesia Partnership. *GRM
International* is the managing contractor contracted by AusAID to manage the
implementation of PRSF.
