The Indonesian government is undertaking efforts to improve strategic communication and public information services. Minister of Home Affairs Muhammad Tito Karnavian has urged regional governments to strengthen their Communications and Informatics Offices (Diskominfo) to act as drivers of strategic communication. He emphasized the need to unify narratives and manage media systematically to counter the ‘firehose of falsehood’ and ensure public understanding of government initiatives.

Concurrently, the Coordinating Ministry for Political and Security Affairs (Kemenko Polkam) is working to enhance the capacity of Information and Documentation Management Officers (PPID). This initiative follows a decline in the national Public Information Disclosure Index (IKIP), which fell from 75.65 in 2024 to 66.43 in 2025. Kemenko Polkam identified challenges such as uneven officer competence, data fragmentation, and limited institutional support, noting the need to balance information openness with data protection.
