Komnas HAM, Indonesia UNCRPD Written Contribution centres3 but the benefit is not fully enjoyed by all persons with disabilities living in the country’s capital. The budget is also not accompanied by a comprehensive program designed to cater to the needs of disabled person. List of Issues 1. Regarding the budget allocation in several ministries that is not specifically targeted for disability programs and improper utilization of such budget, how can the government control and ensure that budget is prepared with a program designing process that meets disability needs and involves persons with disabilities in its planning? 2. As regards regional budget, how can the national government encourage all regional governments to devise participatory programs for persons with disabilities, supported by a budget that is tailored to the needs of persons with disabilities? C. DisabilityProtection Mechanism 12. Komnas HAM recommends the development of protection mechanism for persons with disabilities. It also encourages the establishment of an independent national commission for persons with disabilities, one that does not operate under a ministry. The establishment of an independent commission is critical considering that disability matters are a concern of all ministries and state institutions, including regional governments. If the said commission operates under one ministry, such as the Ministry of Social Affairs, for example, it will be very difficult for this commission to monitor the implementation of disability rights by other ministries or in the regions. The National Commission for Senior Citizens, to take an example, operates under a directorate of the Ministry of Social Affairs, and it has not been very effective in its regional outreach programs. It has been quite a long time since the national commission organized a publicized activity as its reputation slowly diminishes. 3 2018 Komnas HAM data, an interview with Jakarta Department of Social Affairs 5
