Based on Presidential Regulation No. 29 of 2014 concerning the Accountability System for Government Institutions (SAKIP), it is mandatory for every government institution to account for and explain its performance and actions to parties entitled to request information and accountability in order to achieve a clean government free from corruption, collusion, and nepotism (KKN) and to reach good governance.

In implementing SAKIP, the Directorate General of Railways conducts stages and components of SAKIP, which include performance planning, performance measurement, performance reporting, and evaluation of performance accountability. One manifestation of the performance measurement and reporting component is the periodic (quarterly) performance monitoring report to assess the progress of the Directorate General of Railways' performance achievements according to the targets set in the planning or performance agreement.

Monitoring involves closely observing a situation or condition, including specific behaviors or activities, to ensure that all input data or information obtained from these observations can serve as a basis for making subsequent decisions. As a result, periodic quarterly performance monitoring reports are required to ensure the achievement of performance targets through performance measurement.

The Monitoring Report on Performance Achievements of the Directorate General of Railways for the Second Quarter of 2024 is based on the Minister of Transportation's Regulation No. PM 85/2020 on the Implementation of the Accountability System for Government Institutions. This performance monitoring report illustrates the achievement of Strategic Objectives and Performance Indicators as well as the progress of activities conducted up to the second quarter of 2024, referring to the targets set in the 2024 Performance Agreement.

Additionally, it was reported that the budget realization of the Directorate General of Railways in the second quarter of 2024 amounted to Rp 1.681.062.146.308, or 15,76% of the allocation of Rp 10.669.069.412.000. This realization is lower than the budget realization for the same period in 2023, which was 24,23%, and also lower than the Fund Withdrawal Plan (RPD) for the second quarter of 2024, which was 48,63%. Regarding Non-Tax State Revenue (PNBP), the realization up to the second quarter of 2024 was Rp 326.129.056.118, or 25,86% of the target for 2024 amounting to Rp 1.261.333.553.000, covering both functional and non-functional revenues.

With the preparation of the Monitoring Report on Performance Achievements of the Directorate General of Railways for the second quarter of 2024, it is hoped that this report will provide performance information and an evaluation of program/activity implementation, serving as a reference for improving performance in the next period and ensuring that targets by the end of the year can be met.
