Innovation awards have garnered interest among practitioners in local and central governments, international organizations, and academics in both national and international publications. However, only a limited number of local government agencies in Indonesia have successfully introduced innovations and received public service innovation awards. This study, therefore, seeks to address the following research question: Which governmental organizations were responsible for granting public sector innovation awards to Indonesian local government institutions in 2021? The objective of this research was to determine the outcomes of public sector innovation awards in Indonesia in 2021, with a focus on local government institutions. A qualitative descriptive method was employed, utilizing library research to gather data and examine local governments that successfully implemented public service innovations. Findings indicate that the Indonesian government, through various ministries and the National Institute of Public Administration, awarded the 2021 Innovation Government Award to local governments—including provinces, regencies, and cities—that effectively implemented regional innovations. Moreover, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the importance of adopting e-government principles has become increasingly critical for ensuring the continuity of public services.
