It is anticipated that the database will be the most comprehensive statistical reference of human resources in the country. It covers more than 1,400 professions - including, accountants, architects, civil engineers and economists - broken down into four specialization levels as set by the World Bank. INKINDO expects some 35,000 Indonesian professionals to be recorded in the inventory, which will be accessible - both nationally and internationally - through the association's regional offices in all twenty-seven provinces and its web-site. From the database, information on the numbers of civil engineers specializing in dam construction, for example - including their whereabouts, distribution, availability, professional affiliation, history of professional practice and the project scale in which they have been involved - can be obtained. The same token will also apply for surveyors and geomaticians. The increasing need for an accurate reference to blueprint future development of Indonesian human resources are among the main reasons as to believe why the inventory will be precious not only to INKINDO members, but also to other professional associations, the public, and even policy makers. INTRODUCTION How many Indonesian civil engineers specializing in dam construction? Where are their whereabouts? What is their professional affiliation? Is the history of their professional practice and the project scale in which they were involved, known? These are simple inquisitions yet it is widely acknowledged that the need to address them with detail and accuracy is crucial. Hence, one will be surprised to find out that there is no institution in Indonesia - government or private - that has been designated responsible for making such information available. One may inquire to the Institute of Indonesian Engineers (PII) without avail. Or, one might try any of the so-called reputable universities of this country. They are normally able to identify the hundreds of Ph.Ds in Political Science or Economics that have graduated from their institutions, but if it is questioned what researches these scholars have completed, what book titles they have written and what papers they have presented, the answer is most likely unsatisfactory. The same vague answers are normally given by the National Association of Indonesian Consultants (INKINDO) to prospective clients and or partners, simply because there is no corresponding information available - let alone it being of a highly comprehensive standard. INKINDO is a non-governmental organization whose members are enterprise consultants. Subject to further verification of those that are no longer running due to the economic crisis, since its establishment in the early seventies, there are currently some 3,500 consulting companies registered as INKINDO members spreading in all twenty-seven provinces in the country. Referring to a World Bank classification, INKINDO members are grouped into fifteen sectors (Agriculture, Construction, Education, Health, etc.) and ten services (Survey, Information Services, Management Services, etc.). It is a well-known secret that one result of the state’s ill- dominance over society during the last 30 years or so, is undeniably the fact that civil servants are given preference over private professionals to continue their studies to a higher degree (usually overseas), at the expense of the taxpayers. This policy has therefore helped support the cultivation of government propaganda, stating that the human resources development of civil servants is far better than that of the private professionals. INKINDO’s tendency - in the past - to recruit many of its professionals from universities and other departments, has proved the effectiveness of this propaganda. It is now realized that to some extent, professional conducts have been sacrificed, as higher degrees do not necessarily mean professionalism in private sectors. INKINDO DATABASE Following its national consultative and working group meeting held last year in June and September respectively, INKINDO has been committed to set up an inventory, which is expected to become the most comprehensive database of Indonesian experts in the country. This inventory will then be organized by the Center for Data and Information Service (PDLI). PDLI will not only be beneficial to INKINDO members, but also for the rest of interrelating community. PDLI will be able to monitor fraud and ill-gotten information mistakenly input to
