Committee IV of the Regional Representative Council of the Republic of Indonesia (DPD RI) conducted a Research/Empirical Study activity for the preparation of the Problem Inventory List (DIM) of the Bill (RUU) on the Amendment to Law Number 25 of 2004 concerning the National Development Planning System on Tuesday, October 27, 2026. The event took place at the Faculty of Economics and Business, Udayana University, Jalan P.B. Sudirman, Denpasar, Bali, starting from 09:00 WITA until completion. The implementation of this activity was part of an effort to gather academic input and perspectives from various stakeholders to support the drafting process of regulatory amendments related to the national development planning system.

 

This event was organized through collaboration among the Secretariat of Committee IV of the DPD RI, the Bill’s Expert Team, Udayana University, and the Bali Provincial Government. During its implementation, Committee IV of the DPD RI involved academics from the Faculty of Economics and Business, Udayana University, as resource persons and moderators to support the discussion process and input gathering. This collaboration provided a platform for the legislative body, academics, and the regional government to exchange views and contribute to drafting the substance of the bill.

 

The empirical study focused on inventorying various issues and requirements within the national development planning system to serve as material for drafting the Academic Paper and DIM of the Bill on the Amendment to Law Number 25 of 2004. Through this initiative, it is expected that comprehensive input regarding various aspects of development planning will be obtained, ensuring that the proposed regulatory amendments become increasingly relevant to national and regional development needs. Furthermore, the involvement of higher education institutions in this process underscores the vital contribution of academics in supporting public policy formulation and refining more effective regulations.
