Universitas Gadjah Mada’s (UGM) commitment to strengthening public information transparency was reaffirmed through the Internal Monitoring and Evaluation (Monev) Visit of the Information and Documentation Management Officer (PPID) Implementer 2025. On Tuesday (Sept 9), Dr. Andi Sandi Antonius Tabusassa Tonralipu, S.H., LL.M., together with the UGM PPID Team, visited the PPID Implementer at the UGM Library and Archives.
The visit followed up on the results of the 2025 Internal Monitoring and Evaluation Self-Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ) of PPID Implementers at UGM. Its purpose was to clarify the assessment findings in greater depth while encouraging improvements in the quality of public information services within the university.
“This visit is a moment to ensure that our public information service standards continue to improve and uphold transparency. We want to hear directly about the challenges faced by implementing units so that improvements can be made in a targeted way,” said Dr. Andi Sandi Antonius Tabusassa Tonralipu during the discussion session.
The event, held in the Meeting Room, L6 Building, 2nd Floor of the UGM Library and Archives, was hosted by Arif Surachman, S.I.P., M.B.A., Head of the UGM Library and Archives, along with the management team and the PPID Implementer Team of the Library and Archives. The discussion was open and constructive, highlighting the importance of strengthening human resource capacity, optimizing digital information channels, and accelerating response times to data requests.
This activity aligns with UGM’s commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 16: Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions, which emphasizes access to public information and transparent governance.
Through this visit, PPID UGM hopes that each work unit will be able to maintain accountability while delivering fast, accurate, and inclusive information services to all stakeholders. “Information transparency is an expression of the institution’s responsibility to society and an important step in building public trust,” Dr. Andi concluded.
With the support and synergy between the Main PPID and all implementing units, UGM is optimistic about strengthening a culture of transparency and providing public information services that are more responsive and aligned with community needs. This step serves as a model for good information governance practices in Indonesian higher education, as well as a tangible contribution to advancing open and accountable governance.
