The Indonesian Higher Education sector is facing significant change as it moves from a phase of expansion with increased access to higher education, to one where the focus is on enhancing the quality of that education. The reform and restructuring of the higher education (HE) system in Indonesia needed to deliver on these objectives is being slowed by a lack of leadership and management capacity in the HE sector. Universities in Indonesia need to build the capacity of their leaders for governance, strategic planning and management in order to deliver these reforms. The project addresses the need for development for university leaders and managers in Indonesia through the creation and implementation of a structured leadership and management development network (LMDN) and an associated programme (LMDP). When creating the network and programme for higher education institutions in Indonesia, it will create the constitution and operating procedures for the network; structures and materials to support the programme; and identify and equip dedicated facilitates where the development activities will take place. Learning will take place through networking meetings, lectures from visiting speakers, action learning sets, national management research projects, and exercises to strengthen professional networks. The project will ensure staff training workshops are developed and executed for the Indonesian university staff responsible for implementing the new network and programme. During the life of the project, 500 Indonesian leaders and managers will engage with the LMDN, and 208 will be developed through the LMDP with a demonstrable impact on their capacity to operate the governance, strategic plans and management of HEIs. In the year following the project, it is expected that a minimum of 192 additional leaders will benefit from taking the LMDP and that at least 14 additional Indonesian universities will have adopted it, enhancing the capacity for reform nationally.
The iHiLead project has raised the leadership capacity of Indonesian universities through:- Creating a higher education leadership network (PEMIMPIN) and an associated leadership development programme focused on governance, strategic planning and management, for delivery in Indonesia- Providing infrastructure to support and sustain the network and programme- Implementing the network and its associated programme - Disseminating the project activities to ensure their use beyond the project

<< Background >> The Indonesian Higher Education sector is facing significant change as it moves from a phase of expansion to one where the focus is on enhancing the quality. To support this reform, universities in Indonesia need to build the capacity of their leaders for governance, strategic planning and management. The iHiLead project addresses this need through the creation and implementation of a structured leadership and management development network (LMDN) and an associated programme (LMDP). << Objectives >> The iHiLead project has raised the leadership capacity of Indonesian universities through:- Creating a higher education leadership network (PEMIMPIN) and an associated leadership development programme focused on governance, strategic planning and management, for delivery in Indonesia- Providing infrastructure to support and sustain the network and programme- Implementing the network and its associated programme - Disseminating the project activities to ensure their use beyond the project << Implementation >> The project has created the legal constitution and operating procedures for the leadership development network, PEMIMPIN. Through PEMINPIN, 7 workshops were piloted and a further 7 online workshops implemented, raising the capacity of HE leaders across Indonesia. A three-phase leadership development programme was developed, piloted, and implemented. PEMINPIN will shortly be accredited to provide certification of HE leaders who have completed the programme as being competent to practice. << Results >> 1289 Indonesian HE leaders attended LMDN activities. 91 trainers were provided instruction on how to deliver the LMDP. 250 partner staff were developed through the LMDP of which 219 have completed it in full. An additional 87 staff from beyond the partnership have completed the full programme. Over 198,000 people have benefitted from the project’s leadership development materials through the project website and over 39,000 people have been reached through the project’s dissemination activities.
