Yayasan Inovasi Pemerintahan Daerah (YIPD) is an independent, non-profit, technical service foundation and a sustainable resource of ideas, concepts, and innovations on a relevant set of local government topics and sectors impacted by Indonesia's decentralization program. YIPD aims to positively contribute to Indonesia's ambitious decentralization process by enabling local governments to more professionally manage local resources and effectively and efficiently provide services to local constituents. YIPD works in partnership with local governments and their associations, community organizations, institutions of higher learning, donors, and the private sector to achieve good local governance in Indonesia. Began as a USAID initiative, YIPD has become an independent Indonesian foundation with funding from an ever-diversified range of sources.
