Indonesia has been changing its government system since 1999, moving power from the central government to local areas. This process is called decentralization. It's a global trend where countries give more responsibilities to lower levels of government. In Indonesia, decentralization focuses more on administration than money. The central government still controls most of the funds needed for local areas to run properly. The goal is to improve governance by involving local citizens, having fair elections, and sharing power and money more equally.
