Towards more transparent financial management: scholarships and grants in Indonesia

When the economic crisis struck Indonesia in 1997, the Scholarship and Grants Programme (SGP) – later supplemented by the School Improvement Grants Programme (SIGP) – was created to address issues of school abandonment, deterioration of quality, and budgetary cuts to the education sector. The author shows that it is feasible to design and implement at short notice a school-based model of financing non-salary teacher costs, with a low rate of fund leakage and improved transparency, while reaching targets in service delivery.
