Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM) has successfully maintained its status as an informative public university after securing second place nationally at the 2025 Public Information Transparency Awards (Anugerah Keterbukaan Informasi Publik/KIP) in the State Universities category.
The award was presented by Syawaludin, Commissioner of the Central Information Commission of the Republic of Indonesia, to Dr. Andi Sandi Antonius Tabusassa Tonralipu, as UGM’s Chief Information and Documentation Officer (PPID Utama), during the award ceremony held in Jakarta on Monday (Dec. 15).
This achievement reflects UGM’s consistency in maintaining its informative status for seven consecutive years through continuous strengthening of public information management processes.
Responding to the achievement, Dr. Tonralipu stated that UGM’s result is part of an ongoing effort to strengthen public information services across all university units. He emphasized that transparency of information is not merely a matter of regulatory compliance but also an essential effort to build public trust.
“This achievement reminds us of the importance of continuously upholding transparency and accountability in information management. UGM remains committed to improving the quality of public information services and fostering a culture of transparency within the university,” he said on Tuesday (Dec. 16).
According to Dr. Tonralipu, Universitas Gadjah Mada’s participation in the ranking process is part of a broader effort to strengthen measurable, sustainable transparency practices within the institution.
UGM’s achievement reflects its commitment to ensuring that public information management aligns with the mandate of Law No. 14 of 2008 on Public Information Transparency and is integrated into the university’s tridharma through more transparent, accountable, and responsive information services for the public.
For information, the Public Information Transparency ranking is part of the Monitoring and Evaluation conducted by the Central Information Commission, which assesses the compliance and performance of various public bodies, including ministries, state institutions, non-structural bodies, state universities, political parties, regional governments, and state-owned enterprises.
In the 2025 Monitoring and Evaluation, 387 public bodies participated, yet hundreds failed to meet public information service standards, including 121 institutions classified as Not Informative and 34 as Less Informative.
The Central Information Commission emphasized that the monitoring and evaluation process is not merely an administrative assessment but also a reflection of public bodies’ commitment to building transparency and accountability, as well as a means to identify areas for strengthening governance of public information services.
