| Summary: | Indonesia’s Kecamatan Development
Project (KDP) began in 1998 and is implemented through the
Ministry of Home Affairs, Community Development Office
(PMD). KDP aims to alleviate poverty and improve local
governance. The Project provides block grants of
approximately USD 56,000 to USD 111, 000 to sub-districts
(kecamatan). Villagers engage in a participatory planning
and decision-making process to allocate those resources for
their self-defined development needs and priorities. KDP is
one of the largest community development projects in
Indonesia, implemented in 29 of Indonesia’s 32 provinces.
Field reports state that local governments in several parts
of the country have initiated KDP replication or ‘spin off’
projects funded through their own budgets. These projects
purport to replicate KDP to varying degrees. The main goal
of this study is to examine in greater depth ten KDP
replication schemes and to assess the extent to which they
adopt certain principles and programmatic features of KDP.
This study is important as an initial step to gain insight
into how KDP’s principles and procedures may be influencing
other government development projects especially in the
areas of improved governance, community capacity building,
and service delivery. |
