The program aims to facilitate the achievement of three Millennium Development Goals in which Indonesia s performance is lagging: (i) the achievement of universal basic education; (ii) a reduction in child mortality; and (iii) improvements in maternal health. Through the existing PNPM Rural platform and utilizing the community-driven development (CDD) approach, PNPM Generasi uses community planning and incentivized sub-district grants to improve outcomes in terms of 12 priority health and education indicators. Communities, with assistance from PNPM facilitators, work with health and education service providers to identify locally appropriate ways to improve access to, and increase the use of, health and education services. Sub-district grants are used to address either small-scale supply or demand constraints, depending on where the need is the greatest. Overall progress towards development objective Progress toward the project s development objective continues to be satisfactory. In addition to using data from the project Management Information System (MIS) as a source of data for tracking the key performance indicators (KPIs), since 213 onwards, the Directorate General of Community and Village Empowerment (PMD) has been using data from its Performance Monitoring Survey (PMS). PMS uses a small-cluster sampling methodology to report on progress towards achieving KPIs. Data collection for the second round PMS will commence in November 214. The first round of survey from October 213 revealed that in 213, PNPM Generasi met or exceeded targets for several KPIs. For example, 89 percent of deliveries were assisted by trained professionals (against a target of %). 85.4 percent of children of the age were enrolled in junior secondary school
(JSS) (against a target of 65%). percent of children under three years old were weighed monthly, meeting the target. However, the project fell short in 214 in terms of involving 51 percent of community members identified to be the poorest in project-planning and decision-making meetings (against a target of 6%). The involvement of women was also underachieved, being rated at 68 percent (against a target of 7%). A detailed description of the current KPI achievements is at the end of the report. Key developments during the quarter As of September 22, 214, PMD has disbursed community block grants amounting to US$13,89,588, which accounts for 34.6 percent of total block grants; Restructuring of TF9741 has been approved by the World Bank in August 214. The restructuring is intended to optimize the use of the fund by reallocating some fund categories such as consultant service, training, and workshop to the block grant category. PMD is in the process of submitting a DIPA revision to Ministry of Home Affairs (MOHA) for further process in Ministry of Finance (MOF); Training on Infant and Young Child Feeding (IYCF) by the Millennium Challenge Account Indonesia (MCA-I) has been delivered in three districts of West Java (West Bandung, Sukabumi and Garut). Training in Bandung Barat and Sukabumi were given to kader posyandu (village health post cadre), while in Garut both bidan (midwife) and kader posyandu attended the training. In South Sumatra, similar training was given to puskesmas (sub-district community health center) staff. In September, training of trainers was delivered to provincial health staff of South Sumatra. Socialization of MCA-I program on community-based health and nutrition program was also held in West and Central Kalimantan for District Health Officers and heads of puskesmas; Progress on impact evaluation (IE) study: Generasi and MCA-I Generasi: Feasibility study for the final round of Generasi IE is completed. Preliminary results suggest that PNPM Generasi is potentially well positioned to address key constraints to impact on final outcomes given a sufficient implementation period reamining. Conducting a long term evaluation of Generasi has relevant policy implications for the emerging service delivery agenda as it could establish the extent to which community based approaches can address shortcomings in service delivery outcomes, independent of investments in service delivery systems. The IE team is developing a concept note for the study and the preparation for the impact evaluation study will be commenced later this year, once the concept note approved by the Joint Management Committee. MCA-I: The procurement of a consulting firm for the MCA-I impact evaluation study was just completed and the selected firm (Survey Meter) is preparing data collection for the baseline study. Data collection will be conducted from November 214 up to February 215, with the cleaned data set to be submitted to MCA-I in May 215. The collaborative activity between PNPM Generasi and Creative Communities teams (PSF) has begun in in West Kalimantan, West Java, and NTB. This joint activity is intended to improve the ability of villagers, especially poor and marginalized people, to participate actively in PNPM Generasi processes using cultural expressions in project locations; Development of Phase-2 communication strategy has been initiated with field assessment carried out in September (West Kalimantan, South East Maluku, and West Sulawesi). This is intended to produce a comprehensive communication strategy that can be used as a PNPM Generasi approach to change community s behavior and improve the capacity of program actors; Preparation of Monitoring & Evaluation (M&E) /MIS review has commenced. Initial review of the functioning of the project MIS has been carried out in several districts in NTB. This will be followed up with the drafting of a concept note for the M&E/MIS review;
The PSF has provided technical assistance to facilitate discussions between PMD and the Ministry of Education and Culture (MOEC) and Bappenas to analyze the results of the three-district pilot utilizing PNPM Generasi s incentivized approach to increase participation of the poor in early childhood education and development (ECED) services. PMD is interested in mainstreaming the community-level ECED indicator in PNPM Generasi, but for this approach to be effective, efforts to improve community ECED teacher training and ECED quality control are required. The PSF will continue to facilitate cross-agency dialogue with the aim of linking efforts to improve the quality of ECED services with PNPM Generasi s demand-side support. Critical challenges While the restructuring of TF9741 was approved by the World Bank, the DIPA revision should be completed soon in order for Generasi activities that are funded by this TF to be completely disbursed this year; Follow-up actions on the latest Aide Memoire, especially regarding the issuance of letter (SK) related to the inclusion of Ministry of Health (MOH) and MOEC in the Pokja Pengendali structure and the SK for the establishment of technical team (sub-pokja) under Pokja Pengendali has not been completed. This issue will be discussed during the PNPM Generasi multi-stakeholder meeting to be held in October; Refresher training for all Generasi facilitators is supposed to be delivered next quarter. However, this may be delayed due to the changes of procurement policy at the national level (at MOHA). Activities planned during the next quarter A multi-stakeholder workshop on strengthening the collaboration amongst Generasi stakeholders will be held in October 214. This workshop is intended to establish an effective mechanism of collaboration between PNPM Generasi and line ministries, such as MOH, MOEC, and Ministry of Social Welfare (MSW). Preparation for the workshop, which is financed by the PSF and guided by Bappenas, has been completed; Support is being provided to PMD to conduct refresher trainings for district facilitators (Faskab and Faskeu) and district computing operator (Opkom) in October 214. This is intended to refresh the facilitators knowledge and skills related to their jobs, and to introduce new policies; Starting from October, MCA-I will provide IYCF training for frontline health workers in all of the three new provinces (South Sumatra, Southeast Kalimantan and West Kalimantan). This training provides health workers with skills related to the planning and preparation of infant and young feeding, including procurement of the materials; Report of the Generasi ECED piloting has been completed and submitted to Bappenas and PMD for their review during the next quarter; The concept note for the second round of Performance Monitoring Survey (PMS) is currently revised by the team and will be utilized as a basis for contracting a consulting firm that will manage data collection and processing. The concept note is to be finalized at the end of October.
