Project Description : |
| |
The Kecamatan Development Program
(KDP) provides block grants directly to
villages for community-led reconstruction.
This supports the restoration of community
infrastructure in over 2,900 villages across
Aceh and Nias.
At KDP, communities decide on their priority needs in terms of tertiary infrastructure and support for
economic activities or socially vulnerable groups. Block grants with a total value of US$ 49 million
have been directly transferred to sub-districts where democratic decisions have been taken on which
village receives what amount of funding. KDP has a solid multi-layered control mechanism to prevent corruption throughout planning and implementation of village projects.

Achievements to date:
Experience has shown that community-based recovery programs often yield results more quickly than top-down models, and are also more likely to lead to sustainable solutions. Communities that are involved in project design feel a great deal of ownership and pride in the program. The Government has recognized the advantages of community-based programs as a fast and flexible mechanism.
The majority of MDF funding disbursed through KDP (more than 90%) has been used for infrastructure development. Funds have also been used to stimulate the local economy by providing micro finance, purchasing raw materials from local suppliers and hiring local communities to do the construction activities. Furthermore, the project also strengthened the capacity of local communities, placing a large emphasis on gender disparities.
The project received a one year extension and will formally end its operations on December 31, 2009. Overall, the project has provided planning, training and capacity building support to over 6,000 communities in Aceh and Nias, and approximately 3,000 villages received MDF-financed block grants.

Challenges:
Sustainability of investments should be reinforced through operations and maintenance. With MDF funding for block gants completed, it will be important to ensure that there is a smooth transition to the nationally-funded PNPM Mandiri program which now covers all villages in the province and provides over Rp. 150 million/village for continued investments. |
