Tightening 🇮🇩 Indonesia

Indonesia's provincial narcotics boards expand operations

The Transnational Institute's retrospective account dates the setting up of BNN's provincial branches to 2003, widening operations under the P4GN prevention and enforcement programme. This is a reported rollout milestone, not the first statutory authority for provincial boards: Article 11 of Presidential Decree 17/2002 had already allowed their establishment by governors. The account does not establish one nationwide day on which every provincial board began operating.[1][2]

Listed for context. No score change is recorded for Indonesia here.
