Background
Indonesia’s community-driven
development program, (formerly called PNPM, now “Dana Desa”Peduli), is a
keystone of Indonesia’s poverty alleviation effort, and one of the largest
programs of its kind globally. The Peduli program was started in 2011 as a way
to bridge marginalized communities through CSO networks. In its second phase (2014-16) the Peduli
Program has a more explicit focus on promoting social inclusion as an approach
to address economic inclusion and poverty reduction with 6 pillars (target
groups): people living with disabilities, victims of gross human rights
violation, discriminated religious minorities, Waria (transgender) group,
indigenous and remote local people reliant on natural resources, and vulnerable
children and youth.
Social inclusion as an approach
is dynamic, and responsive to the very localized context of exclusion faced by
each target group. This creates obvious challenges evaluating the effects of
the Peduli Program, as each partners is responsive to the specific parameters
of social exclusion faced by each beneficiary group, and fosters relationships
between excluders and the excluded, looking for ways to build recognition and
respect over time.
