The Significance of HDI as a planning tool  Global commitment such as MDGs is not adequately articulated to local planning  Performance indicators have been based on the success program implementation (action performance) rather than on the results (achievement performance)  Poor prioritization mechanism in local planning and budgeting in reference to Law 32/2004 (money follows function)  Regional development indicators (RPJMD) does not meet national development indicators (RPJMN)  The real household condition has not optimally accommodated in local planning  Challenges in regional development regarding poverty and HDI (Gorontalo’ experience)
