PeduliLindungi (Care & Protect) | Public Institutions

This compendium, prepared by the Division for Public Institutions and Digital Government (DPIDG) of the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN DESA), aims to capture emerging trends in digital responses of UN Member States against the COVID-19 pandemic along with other digital government initiatives and provide a preliminary analysis of their main features. These cases are shared for exchange of information so that Member States can learn from each other and possibly create new partnerships.

PeduliLindungi is a mobile application to help government tracking the spread of CoronaVirus Disease (Covid-19). This application relies on community participation of sharing their data location so that the tracing of persons making contact with Covid-19 suspects is made possible. Users of the application will also get a notification if they are in the crowd or in the red zone, which indicates their surrounding is close to Covid-19 suspects. This feature is using bluetooth technology for detecting nearby suspects.
This initiative is supported by Ministry of Communications and Informatics, Ministry of Health, Ministry of State-Owned Enterprises, Ministry of Internal Affair, National Agency for Disaster Management, Ministry of Defense, and Indonesian National Police.
