There were three main things that need to be observed after the crisis of 1997, Armida mention it was globalization and regionalization, a democratization process, and the process of regional autonomy. However, according to him, was not fully understood by the public. "In fact, including policy makers do not understand. Paradigm in communities was not uniform," said Armida.


This year, Bappenas was preparing finalization of the National Medium Term Development Plan (RPJMN) 2015-2019.Materi of the technocratic plans include the strategic environment and the main tantanan development, technocratic framework of medium-term development, political development agenda, law, defense, and security, as well as the development agenda of the political field.


Strategic environment discussed was the geo-global and regional economies of Indonesia. It also alludes geopolitical and global and regional constellation. Other strategic matters was that the demographic bonus will Indonesia get up to about 2030. Demographic Bonus perceived as opportunities acceleration of economic growth. This was due to the decreasing number of dependency (dependency ratio). That is, the productive age population in Indonesia was much higher than the unproductive.

If only rely on the running state budget in 2015, clearly not accommodate RPJMN. "If this is the case, will only 're-labeling only of the previous government's policy. There needs to be an improvement in the implementation," said Armida. However, experience has been very pronounced constraints in implementing the plan. "The problem could be in the regulations, many laws which turned out to collide, less budget, institutional sometimes not ready. If not prepared since the beginning, we would run out of time to become a developed country," said Armida.
