News Official statement Outcome reported
  • Indonesia's National Border Management Agency (BNPP) improved its bureaucratic reform index to 81.48 (A- category) in 2025.
  • This marks a significant increase from 73.88 (BB category) in 2024, reflecting enhanced governance.
  • The agency achieved this through reforms focused on professionalism, accountability, and service orientation, including achieving "Corruption-Free Area" status at border posts.

The National Border Management Agency (BNPP) of Indonesia has achieved a notable improvement in its bureaucratic reform index, reaching 81.48 with an "A- (Satisfactory with Notes)" category rating for 2025. This represents a substantial leap from the previous year's score of 73.88, which fell into the "BB" category.

This enhanced performance underscores BNPP's commitment to professionalizing its operations, increasing accountability, and prioritizing service delivery. The agency's efforts align with national goals for effective, agile, and collaborative digital governance, fostering a culture of integrity among civil servants.

Key factors contributing to this progress include achieving maximum scores in the Supreme Audit Agency (BPK) opinion, high public satisfaction ratings, and strong scores in legal reform and development planning indexes. Furthermore, BNPP has made strides in implementing thematic bureaucratic reforms, supporting national priorities such as poverty alleviation and investment.

Notably, BNPP has also established "Corruption-Free Areas" (WBK) at key border crossings, including Entikong and Motamasin. These initiatives demonstrate a concrete commitment to transparency and the eradication of corrupt practices within the agency, particularly in border regions.

This achievement is the result of the commitment and joint work of all BNPP employees in building a bureaucracy that is increasingly professional, accountable, and service-oriented. The A- predicate is proof that the efforts to improve organizational governance have shown positive results.
