CRITICALASSUMPTIONSANDRISKS
ThecriticalassumptionsandrisksdetailedbelowapplybroadlytoUSAID/Indonesiasworkoverthe
periodofthisCDCS.AssumptionsorrisksthatpertaintospecificareasoftheMissionportfolioare
indicatedassuch.
AssumptionsandRisks
1. AlignmentwiththeprioritiesoftheGOIwillcontinue,evenafterthe2014elections:Thisstrategy
assumesthat,regardlessoftheoutcomeofthe2014elections,theGOIwillremainacommitted
partnerinaccomplishingoursharedgoals,andpublicsupportwillcontinue.
2. MacroeconomicperformanceinIndonesiawillremainstable:Indonesiaseconomicgrowthhas
beenstable.CurrentandplannedprogramsforUSAID/Indonesiaaredesignedwithinthe
contextofGOIbudgetpriorities,butsignificantadversechangesinmacroeconomicconditions
couldlimitthepotentialforprogramstoachieveresults.
3. Decentralizationwillcontinuetoevolvepositively:Indonesiawillcontinuetobedecentralized,
withtheprocesscontinuingtoevolvepositively.Inthespacecreatedbydecentralization,
government,civilsociety,andtheprivatesectorwillrespondtotheneedsoflocalpopulations.
4. Privatesectorengagement:Thisstrategyassumesthatprivatesectoralliancesandpublic
privatepartnershipscan,ifwelldesigned,contributetoeducation,health,andenvironment
activitiesandtothescalingupofinnovativetechnologies,andthatactiveprivatesector
engagementcanmovebeyondtypicalcorporatesocialresponsibilitymodels.
5. Naturaldisasterswilloccurandthefrequencyandintensityofclimaterelatedweatherevents
willcontinuetoincrease:Indonesiassusceptibilitytonaturaldisastersandclimatechange

6. EasternIndonesiaSustainableDevelopment(specifictoIR1.4):Successassumesacontinued

institutionalabilitytocommittosustained,robust,crosssectoralsupport.Wewillcontinueto
enjoystrongcollaborationwithafewotherkeydonors(UN,AusAid,andNewZealandAid).
Finally,thedecisionforUSAIDtoengageinEasternIndonesiashouldrecognizeupfrontthatthis
isalongtermeffort.Whileweareconfidentthatsignificantprogresscanbeobtainedin
targetedcommunities/areasduringtheCDCSperiod,suchaccomplishmentswillrequire
continuedattentionbeyondthefiveyearperiodofthisCDCS.
