The following is the current SWOT condition on
Balitbangtan. This SWOT description is a summary of 334
respondents who are employees of 66 Units (UK) / Technical
Implementation Units (UPT) throughout Indonesia who are
required to complete the SWOT questionnaire. In assessing
the current conditions, respondents were asked to fill in
blank columns for each item. To reinforce the meaning of
each number (1,2,3,4,5) for the four elements (strengths,
weaknesses, opportunities, and threats),
