Law No. 32/2004 on Regional Government

Law No. 32/2004 on Regional Government establishes the framework for decentralized governance in Indonesia, dividing authority between the central government and regional administrations. It grants regional governments the power to manage local affairs such as education, health, infrastructure, and economic development, tailored to their specific needs. The law defines structures, responsibilities, and funding mechanisms, promoting local participation and accountability. This decentralization aims to improve public services, foster regional autonomy, and ensure more effective governance at the local level, while maintaining national unity and coordination.
