About the Journal

Jurnal Perencanaan Pembangunan: The Indonesian Journal of Development Planning is an international scholarly journal published by the Indonesian Development Planners Association, PPPI Bappenas Chapter and supported by the Ministry of National Development Planning/National Development Planning Agency (Bappenas). Guided by the tagline bridging knowledge to policy, the journal promotes the use of research and scientific insight to strengthen government programs, regulations, and public policies. It is accredited as a Sinta 3 by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology.

The journal’s roots date back to 1990, when Professor Saleh Afif launched Buletin Perencanaan Pembangunan. In 1994, it was revitalized as Majalah Perencanaan Pembangunan under Minister Ginanjar Kartasasmita. Between 2015 and 2017, Ministers Andrinof Chaniago and Sofyan Djalil, initiated by the PPPI Bappenas Chapter, advanced its transformation into an academic journal. This process culminated in 2017 with the establishment of Jurnal Perencanaan Pembangunan: The Indonesian Journal of Development Planning.

The journal serves as an open platform for academics, researchers, government officials, and policy practitioners to publish policy research articles, policy papers, and working papers. All publication processes are free of charge. Issued three times a year—in April, August, and December—it adopts a full open-access policy, ensuring that all articles are freely available to read and download.
