The World Bank points to the shortage in staff, expertise, infrastructure and budgets, coupled with the vast size and
remoteness of the affected, as major reasons for the unsuccessful implementation of the government’s environmental
protection schemes.

and World Bank papers.
In order to improve the environmental situation in Indonesia, the World Bank recommends that the Indonesian government
set priorities to make the most efficient use of the limited financial and administrative resources. These priorities
include water supply and sanitation, solid waste management, vehicle emissions control in urban centers, industrial
pollution control, and the management of forest concessions.
While concentrating on the priority areas is the most urgent task, the World Bank also suggests that the government
simultaneously strengthen its institutional capacity in an effort to handle the various further tasks. Finally, the Bank
recommends soliciting the participation of various stakeholders in the government’s efforts in order to create synergy
effects in solving the environmental priorities.
