CHALLENGES AND RISKS

Abstract

As already mentioned in the previous chapter, there is an evident need for improved infrastructure in Indonesia. The Government of Indonesia (GoI) has recognised this, incorporating targets and strategies into a number of national plans which aim to address the issues. The development of infrastructure in Indonesia is also likely to be affected by other large-scale plans, initiatives or doctrines in the region. This chapter briefly outlines relevant national and international plans and initiatives to assist with infrastructure investment and development in Indonesia, and then presents and discusses the challenges, risks and issues associated with delivering the required infrastructure necessary to underpin the economic growth and reform strategies for Indonesia. It details the context for focusing on the development of waterways and ports.
