President Jokowi-Amin's administration (2019-2024) continues to make bureaucratic reform on of Indonesia's development priorities. Currently, the steps being taken are bureaucratic downsizing. Administrative positions (echelon III and IV) were removed and replaced with certain functional positions, as was done by Ministry of Administrative Reform. The hope is that the bureaucracy will be more agile, dynamic, focused on functional work and high performance. The strategic steps taken are identifying administrative positions in work units, mapping positions and administrative officials affected by bureaucratic downsizing, mapping functional positions that can be occupied by officials affected by bureaucratic downsizing, aligning functional position allowances with administrative position allowances by calculating income from administrative positions to positions classes. In the process, there are obstacles faced, namely the availability of functional positions in the work field is still incomplete, only policy analysts; worries about losing positions and income; public servant career paths that have not been developed properly; public servant career maps that have not been developed properly; competency standard instruments at the level of certain functional positions do not yet exist; the work mechanism of the new bureaucratic structure model has not been developed; the mental readiness of work and the capacity of functional officials are equalized. Various obstacles cause the effectiveness of the goal of bureaucratic downsizing cannot be assessed at the beginning of the implementation of this bureaucratic reform.
