Ambon is the place of
the 5th
Eastern
Indonesia Forum
conducted on 1‐2
November 2010.
This multi‐stakeholder
forum involves many
development actors
which are considered
as reformist in
undertaking its works.
The smart practices as valuable inspiring source should be shared in a process which
can lift up the motivation and give deep impression to all parties. In order to share the
smart practices, the stories will be presented in a sparkling way to generate spirit, love,
and dream effectively. It is expected that all people who have the sense of hearing will
be touched to inspire them doing something different for their area.
During one full day, the participants will be invited to sail out for treasures in the six
regions of eastern Indonesia. It is like a ship, the journey will be started from one place
to another place which has a treasure in the form of Smart Practices. A captain and
treasure hunters will guide all participants to join the journey on the ship, as agreed by
them, named as ‘Manggurebe Ship’, which means come on to join the
expedition! All participants join the journey of the six Smart Practices, i.e., gender
equality, education, health, environment, economic development and public services.
Connection among the six themes is expected to be an alternative development model
applicable for different regions.
2nd
day, the participants were invited to give their responses to the Smart Practices and
conducted group discussion to look for ideas on how to expand impact of the Smart
Practices and to determine resolutions for the six themes.
Smart
Practices
for
Eastern
Indonesia
Development
This time, The Eastern Indonesia Forum (EIF) was designed differently with the intention that the participants can
take expectations and inspirations to their homeland. Many people consider that eastern Indonesia is a
disadvantaged region, but in fact many inspiring treasures were hidden in this region. With the theme of the
conference “Inspiration from Eastern Indonesia for Indonesia”, fourteen resource persons consisting of six
Smart Practice presenters and eight inspirators, will share their touching stories to the participants. They represent
the other inspiring stories since it has some criteria among others inovative, participatory, sustainable, accountable,
pro‐poor and gender equality, and it has real impacts.

PREPARATORY WORKSHOP
One day before the Forum, a Preparatory Workshop was held for the presenters of Smart Practice and for the
inspirators who became the stars in this forum. This was aimed at improving presentation skills of the resource
persons.
The
workshop
was
started
with
introduction
and
followed
by
rehearsal
of
presentations
by
each
resource
person while estimating the time required. Some tips were provided to them:
Treat participants as king.
Typical character of a king is to ask: What can I do? What can
be applied in other places? Therefore, don’t tell about negative
and complicated things so that the king has answers to his
questions. This forum provides a short chance to make
promotion. The important thing to do when making a
presentation is ‘How to convince audience on the importance
of
my
story?’
Spread your ideas and shake them
Since the time available is limited, avoid to tell the story from
the beginning till the end. Choose the points of the idea?
What’s comforting? The second task is to make the audience
feeling that they can do what has been told, so that the
conversation is not one way only. According to some theories,
human brain is a picture processor, not a word processor. So
we have to come beyond the ears or eyes to reach the brain of
the audience.
Imagine what is told.
Help the audience to imagine or see what is presented. For the
inspirators who make a presentation without visual aid (video),
more illustrative presentation should be made so that the
audience can imagine the story.
Presenter may also use body as visual aid. For instance, making
a hospital at the stage in the form of drama, and so on. Usually
audience is interested to a presentation with combination of
pictures and texts.
Make
a
design,
not
a
decoration.
Make a concept of presentation, e.g., village with softer font,
related to custom, and so on. Like making a sculpture from a
stone, it will not be carved straightly, but thinking the concept
first. Facilitator team will assist to prepare slides and concept
of the presentation.
Embed a healthy relation.
Embed a pride on what we did. Just relax if you do small
mistakes. The stage would be similar to a fashion show,
without a podium.

OPENING OF THE 5 EIF
The opening ceremony of the 5th
Eastern Indonesia Forum
in Ambon on November 1st 2010 was started with welcome
dance by kid dancers from Sanggar Serafim of Ambon
performing Hula‐Hula Dance. They got applause from the
participants. The program was continued by singing the
national anthem of Indonesia Raya solemnly.
The next agenda was opening speech by Prof. Dr. Ir. Hj.
Winarni Monoarfa, MS (Head of EIF working group). After
thanking to God and welcoming all participants gathered
(bakudapa in local language) at the EIF in Ambon, she
addressed that even though the Eastern Indonesia has
been accelerated in growth, there many challenges were
still faced. Excluding North Sulawesi, HDI of the provinces ineastern Indonesia is low, number of poor population is
higher than that of the national, absorption of credit fund
is low, and some other issues are challenging to the eastern
Indonesia in the future.
To take the challenge, innovative approach is required to
produce Smart Practices at local level in carrying out
effective development. This forum will address six Smart
Practices and inspiring stories from eastern Indonesia.
These stories
were
addressed
to
generate
spirit
and
give
inspirations to the people in eastern Indonesia so that
they can race for advance collectively. In the local
language, “let’s manggurebe for development”.
The second speech was given by Dr. Ir. Dedi S. Priatna, MSc
(Deputy Minister of BAPPENAS for Facilities and
Infrastructures) representing the Minister of BAPPENAS
who cannot attend. The speech was emphasized the
importance of development in eastern Indonesia as a part
of the national development. He addressed several pointsrelated to the national policy direction, particularly for
acceleration and progress of eastern Indonesia
development, regional interconnection and improvement
of competitiveness, financing, as well as hopes and
challenges.
Several things indicating development gap between Eastern
Indonesia and other regions are:
• Sulawesi showed relatively high economic growth by
7.72%, but the role of EI in the overall national
economy is still 18% away than the KBI which reached
82%.
• Most developed areas are in the provinces in Eastern
Indonesia, namely West Sulawesi (100%), NTT (95%),
and Papua (93%).
• Two regions with the lowest per capita GDP is also still
in EI, namely Maluku and NTT.
• Most of the provinces in Eastern Indonesia have
poverty rates above the national average and the
highest is Papua and Maluku. Similar with the
unemployment rate, most of the provinces in eastern
Indonesia have unemployment rates above the
national average.
• Based on the 2008 HDI, most provinces in eastern
Indonesia, except for North Sulawesi, were below the
national rates. Three provinces in eastern Indonesia
that have the lowest IPM rates were NTT, NTB, and
Papua.
• In relation to Capital Investment both foreign and
domestic, foreign investment in EI (Eastern Indonesia)
showed only 1% and domestic investment by 16%.
Considering these gaps, five directions were formulated for
regional development in the RPJMN 2010‐2014, i.e.:
1. Encouraging the growth of the potential area of EI
2. Improving inter‐regional linkages through inter‐island
trading activities to strengthen the domestic economy
3. Improving the competitiveness of leading sectors of the
region
4. Speed up the growth of the disadvantaged areas,
strategic and fast‐growing region, border areas, and
disaster prone areas.
5. Encourage the development of marine and maritime
sectors.
6. To encourage the things mentioned above, a strategy
to speed up the development of EI were build,
consisting of coordination and communication,
increasing competitiveness, and the change of public
management. In addition, there are four strategies for
a highly competitive economic growth of EI which are
increasing the productivity, innovation and
productivity, integration across sector and across

region, domestic linkage, and attention to equity and
justice.
At the end of his speech, the representative of the Head of
BAPPENAS, delivered 5 expectations and challenges, i.e.:
• The competitiveness of EI should be improved with
focus on improving domestic linkages and creative
innovation based on local resources.
• The bureaucracy of government which is responsive to
the challenges, potential and problem areas
• Accelerating the development of eastern Indonesia
through the six priority sectors namely: agriculture,
fishery, animal husbandry, education and training,
mining and energy, tourism, transportation, commerce
and industry
• Development of new growth centers that empower
local communities and coordination across sectors such
as infrastructure, energy, banking and land.
• Optimization of cooperation among regional and
subregional economic cooperation that involving the
provinces in eastern Indonesia
The next speech delivered by Bapak Karel Albert Ralahalu –
the Governor of Maluku, as a host of the meeting. He
started his speech with the statement that "The success of
the achievement of regional development in eastern
Indonesia is an aggregation of existing local government
success". Since 2004, the EI aims to develop partnerships
and synergy of various stakeholders in responding to
development challenges in eastern Indonesia and to
encourage the achievement of effectiveness and
sustainability of development by relying on knowledge‐
based development and cooperation among stakeholders.
This 5th
EI Forum becomes very strategic in the midst of
government efforts to encourage the central‐local synergy
in the acceleration of National Development to make
Indonesia more prosperous, democratic and fair. This is in
line with the topics of the working meetings of the local
government with the President which has been done four
times in 2010, which aims to strengthen coordination
among all development actors to strengthen the integration
and synergy of development planning and implementation,
both between sectors and between central and local.
This
forum
is
expected
to
bring
out
ideas
and
important
formula as an effort to strengthen integration and central‐
local synergy of the eastern Indonesian region and also in
order to accelerate the implementation of the priority of
the national development 2010‐2014.
In addition, the 5th
EIF is expected to answer the challenges
facing by the Eastern Indonesia, for example economy,
poverty, unemployment, education and health. A
constructive cooperation is expected to be established
through this Forum.

Before starting the journey to find the smart practice, the
manggurebe ship captain and the treasure hunters invited
Mr. Willi Toisuta – Board of Trustee Chairman of the
BaKTI Foundation
to tell the experiences of BaKTI and
reviews of smart practices from the previous year.
According to Mr. Willi, BaKTI‐Eastern Indonesia Forum has
facilitated the Forum for five times and connected the
development stakeholders in eastern Indonesia from 12
provincial including governments both local and national,
NGOs, academics, private sector, international
development partners, and others. BaKTI’s role in providing
development information in BaKTINews is like a speaker for
the initiative and creativity that arise.
BaKTI also promotes Smart Practices which essentially an
innovative creative solutions in response to local
development challenges.Example: reform of the
bureaucracy in the city of Ambon, Jumilah school, micro
hydro initiatives, etc. Advantages of Smart Practices are
effective, meet the challenge, easily replicable, low cost,
and right on target. BaKTI actively encourage replications of
the Smart Practices.
He also mentioned about the Eastern Indonesia
Researchers Network (JiKTI), which becomes part of BaKTI
as the front line of thought and research‐based policy
formulation. JiKTI is expected to working with Bappeda in
the region to carry out development tasks and help in
formulating necessary things to become policies. So that
the development can be achieved and there is balance in
attaining sustainability.
In the end of his speech he emphasized the importance of
EI forum as a network of the common needs. So, it’s
important to see EIF network as an investment to drive
development in the eastern Indonesia in the future. BaKTI
together with JiKTI will be a loyal, innovative, and proactive
companion to cooperate in moving forward.
The researchers know where the treasure so the ship
captain and the treasure hunters invited Mr. Ma'ruf Kasim ‐
Focal Point of JiKTI to delivere the condition of eastern
Indonesia. He said that this network was formedthree years
ago and every province has their own focal point and
responsible in the activities in their province.
The things that have been done by JiKTI includes various
activities such as workshops, networking and research
collaboration.Collaboration with other parties have also
been carried out for example the Asia Foundation in terms
of providing capacity building to develop a network with
researchers and support BAPPEDA in enhancing
development in eastern Indonesia.
In the presentation, JiKTI also mentioned some of the
challenges facing development in Eastern Indonesia,
namely in terms of economic empowerment, basic
education, basic health, and the role of women is a
challenge that must continue to strive for. The role of
women become important in the society so that still more
things need to be done to put men and women equal. In
addition, various indicators show women still lag behind
men in various development sectors. The challenge for the
economy, showed the economy was dominated by large‐
scale industries such as mining, oil and other extraction
industries turned out to only absorb 20% of labor. Whereas
medium or small businesses can absorb 70% of the labor.
This has a tendency of better and more productive because
workers to provide higher added value than the large
business sector workers. Despite this greater investment is
needed for small and medium enterprises in order to have
a positive impact. In addition, cooperative characteristics
that suit the culture and tradition can support the
repayment of loans and guarantee the rotation of economy
sustainability.
Another challenge is basic education, where school
children aged 7‐12 years reached 94% and low education
quality. The number of school dropouts is also high,
reaching 2 million and teacher qualifications are still low.
For basic health care,Eastern Indonesia is the largest
contributor to the malaria cases that causes loss of 12% of
national income. In eastern Indonesia, access to clean
water is not evenly distributed. Only 75% of the middle and
upper class society that can access the clean water and

40% for those on low income. The irony is this crisis
happens in the place that has many clean water resource
but they don’t manage it properly. In contrary with that
situation, many people still assume that water is sent down
from heaven so that it can be used excessively. For that
reason, a strategic management is needed.
One of the efforts to deal with the challenges is to discover
and replicate various smart practices. There are six smart
practices presented in the 1st day of the EIF Meeting, i.e. :
safe house for gender equality, healthy village in more
than name in Bone‐Bone, integrated effort to fight for
Malaria, building self confidence from an early age‐a story
from Papua, village‐managed water utility company in
Lombok, and women cooperatives, which would be
presented next.
These smart practices are EI treasures which are expected
to be replicated to answer the challenges in eastern
Indonesia. Strategic steps with the government are one of
the challenges to get out from the problems faced by the
Eastern Indonesia. And in order to support BAPPEDA as
well as other sector are the research conducted by JiKTI is
expected to be applicable and can support the
development especially in knowledge sector in Indonesia.
Ma’ruf Kasim, member of JiKTI: The Smart Practice is a treasure from Eastern Indonesia.

Safe House for Gender Equality
The short film of “Safe House for Gender Equality” from Kupang‐NTT was presented. The film tells about how the Safe
House provides guidance to the women and children that are victims of violence. Besides that, they also give guidance
to the violence perpetrators.
Continuing the story of the movie above, the captain and the treasure hunters invited friends from the Safe House (Wati
Bagang and Sarci Maukari) to tell a story that completes the information of the movie. The presentation delivered in the
form of discussion about how the domestic violence occurs. Misconceptions of culture increasingly marginalize the
position of women. For example the belis culture or dowry that actually appreciates women is experiencing changes in
the value and even marginalizes women. “Beta pukul beta pung sapi ” means I hit my own cow is a phrase often uttered
by the husband when committing violence against his wife who he had bought, he assume, with dowry. This relation
happens because there are assumptions with paying the dowry the man had become his property.
One innovation is to do with counseling or assistance to male perpetrators of violence against women. It was very
proudly that this approach was adopted by Synod of GMIT, an organization of churches in Timor, and also adopted by
the government in giving pastoral services to couples in the conflict.

Building Self Confidence from an Early Age: A Story from Sarmi, Papua
John Rahail, one of the founder of Sekolah Kampung (Village School), said how important education for children in
Papua. Village school was developed and synergized with the management of the village so it called community‐based.
All started from a study that showed that 70% area in Papua are in rural area, the impact is the education cost more
expensive and most of them allocated for paying teacher’s salary who live outside the village. Another challenge is the
gaps between school education and home education. They didn’t learn anything at home so the impact is the only
education they get is only from school. Therefore, the development of Village School , which was done by community
themselves and in accordance with the village needs, become an acceptable idea for the community.
Almost every village in Papua has their own elementary school building, but what’s lack is the children confident to
enjoy school and continuing their education. With self confident, children can love school and its environment. In the
early development of Village School , many people thought that people from the Institute of Community Empowerment
and Development (ICDP), an organization in Papua which initiated this idea, will be the teachers. After some time,
people then realize that they themselves who develop the school, including become the teachers of Village School. Then
they started to realize that they are able to help themselves.
After the Village School was constructed, the pattern of life was changed. Now, children always washing their hands and
taking bath before going to school. The parents are also aware the importance of education for the children, they take
their children to school and even joined with them to study and finally they can read as well.
When the Village School was established in 2007 in Kampung Beneraf, Mr. Martinus didn’t know anything about what is
Village School , and he was able to understand it after received training for a month. Teaching‐Learning process was done
in the open air or in church. Although the knowledge of the Village School administrators are still less, but their desire to
promote education and raise their children’s future is very high. When the Governor of Papua visited Beneraf, he
advised, “for those who know how to ride a bicycle, please teach the other to do it”. The message encourages the
people to keep developing Papua.

Inspiring Story:
Leading
Papua
‐‐‐ Barnabas Suebu, The Governor of
Papua
The story begins from a village with the RESPEK (Village
Development Strategic Plan). This program has been an
excellent program which had been implemented in 3000
villages. RESPEK is not a Government Program, but more like
people’s movement. What need to be done is just “go down
to the village”.
This program was born based on the report of Public
Expenditure Analysis and Capacity Enhanchment (PEACH),
that is very helpful in analyzing Papua expenditure. The fact
that people only got 10% from the total development fund
that government distributed, encouraged the Governor to
reset the expenditure. Bravely, Barnabas Suebu cut off the
officer budget up to 1 trillion rupiahs and disbursed it as
Development Fund for 3000 villages. The objective is to build
clean water, sanitation, health care, education and other
public services for the village welfare.
To support the movement, the budget was focused on
improving people’s welfare. Currently, there are 1,500
Community Learning Centers (CLCs), which were focused on
helping the children in study. The knowledge about
nutrition, how to build a healthy house, and other important
knowledge can be accessed on the CLCs.
Other thing that had been done was build a better human
resources. Until now 200 scholarships had been granted to
young people of Papua to study in various top universities
outside Papua. The people of Papua who had been
disappointed now excited. In thousands villages the
people know that there are changes and they can
make the changes.

“If you don’t participate in the Physics Olympic
Competition, you will not promote to the next grade”.
That was what Anike’s teacher has told her when she was
asked to participate in the Kabupaten level of physics
Olympic competition. This make all the participants
laugh. The competition was initiated Anike experience
participated in various stages of the competition First
Step to Nobel Prize in Poland by writing a paper, entitled
Chaos System. The result is Anike became the champion
of the competition and beat hundred of papers from 23
countries.
Commenting on the presentation of smart practices from
Sekolah Kampung Sarmi Papua, Anike argues that
children have a lot of potential. The important thing is to
build the confident to participate in education from early
childhood as what have been done by Sekolah Kampung.
She also added that in Education there is no “wrong”,
what’s important is “brave”, because something wrong
can be corrected.
In the end of her speech she delivered a message to all
the forum participants to encourage the children’s self
confident, particularly by supporting the mothers
because they spend more times with the children.
Furthermore, parents should respect and support each
other to prevent domestic violence. She realized that
everything happened to her because she had
opportunities. For that reason, she asked to the
government to create opportunities as much as possible.

A Healthy Village is More Than Name in Bone‐Bone
Enrekang Head of District (Bupati), La Tinro La Tunrung, started the presentation with delivering the fact that Bone‐Bone
is a positive ironic village for non‐smoking best Arabica coffee producer. From this village, born positive rules that made
it deserve the title of Healthy Village. One of them is an obligation to plant trees for five years for the couple who want
to get married as their asset in case they want to build or repair their house. Mutual cooperation activities are still
carried out and every Saturday they work together to clean the village.
The success story of Bone‐Bone as non‐smoking area has change many people. One of them is the Bupati. If before he
could spend three packs of cigarettes per day, in 2007 he finally inspired by the ability of villagers Bone‐Bone break away
from the smoking habit. He said, “if people are able to do that then their leader must be more capable”. He hopes by
2013 all the villages in Enrekang can be free of smoke.
Non‐smoking idea came from Mr. Idris, the village chief of Bone‐Bone. Mr. Idris believes that to get a higher education
need economic support therefore people have to work hard. To work hard people have to be healthy. From his
experience he learnt that many of his villager got a lung diseases caused by smoking habit. The challenge to implement
this rule came from those who prohibited from smoking and in particular those who selling cigarettes. They consider the
rule make them lost their livelihood. After they heard the explanation and given another alternative livelihood, which
improving the productivity of their coffee plant, the rule was eventually can be implemented. And the result is Bone‐
Bone won The National Coffee Flavor Contest.
In addition to the smoking ban, Mr Idris also imposes a number of other restrictions, such as prohibition to sell snacks
that contain food coloring substance because it can damage children’s brain function and prohibition on selling and
breeding broiler chicken to prevent avian influenza cases and in order to maintain their chicken production.
Penalties provided for violations was quite unique. Violator has to bear the cost of green bean porridge for the whole
village. Penalties in the form of money are considered to cause gap between the rich and poor. At the end of the story,
Smart Practice of Bone‐Bone gets standing applause from all participants.

GORONTALO
Serving the Public, Listening to the Public
‐‐‐ Iwan Bokings, Bupati Boalemo
Boalemo district which means Lemon, located in the western part of Gorontalo, about 2 hours by
car from Gorontalo. In that district, many people are poor and have not reached by local
government development.
Many efforts are being performed to promote the development of Boalemo. For example, to
reduce demonstration rates. The strategy was Mr. Iwan go to the villages and sleep with the
people to listen to their complaints and wishes. In order to understanding the situation of people
of Boalemo, he ordered 150 officers of Bolaemo Regency to visit and sleep with the people and
write a report about their experience.
A Public consultations forum was made to get respond from the people with visiting the village.
Messaging service via SMS also performed. Agreement of cooperation with other party like
investors carried out by direct consultation with the people. If the people agree, then the
agreement will be proceed. Transparency and accountability in the management of local budgets
is also become a concern because people want to know how the use of the funds. All the regency
budgets including officer expenditure like civil service salary and business travel budget were
displayed at the office wall. The officers often tell jokes, “this is not only Transparency but barenaked”.
Health service is also become the concern because the number of severe malnutrition case at
children under five years is high and the service is not maximum yet. The Bupati prepares special
room and food for the patient’s family even children toys. This was done because the handling of
child nutrition couldn’t be optimum since they took the children home. In addition, Mr Iwan also
provides opportunities for the public to be able to evaluate health services with colorful coin
method. This was later awarded the public service image by the Minister of Home Affairs.
Development of housing for the people is also done with the concept of integrated village.
Another effort is to make all homes have a toilet to overcome diarrhea and every patient with
diarrhea who seek health care will get a free toilet installed in his house. Ending his speech, Mr.
Iwan said, “Let’s serve with heart so that EI will be more advanced and prosperous”.

Integrated Effort to Fight for Malaria in South Halmahera Before telling his inspiring story, Dr. Aziz expressed his gratitude to the EIF since they received assistance (Rp. 3.5 billions)
from PT. Telkom after the presentation of Smart Practice from North Maluku (financial assistance for the poor) in the EIF
IV last year.
In a story about effort to combat malaria, it was said that the South Halmahera is one of the malaria endemic areas in
Indonesia. Judging from the number of casualties and losses generated, the Anopheles mosquito, malaria spreader is
one of the most dangerous animal for humans. This disease can greatly harm the health, even threatening pregnant
women’s life in addition to lowering the intelligence and damaging brain of infants as well. Malaria can reduce human
productivity. In addition, malaria endemic area is not an attractive option in the tourism sector, which limits the
opportunities to increase revenues and foreign exchange from the sector.
Handling of malaria is not enough with medical response only, but requires a change in life behavior by community and
good environmental structuring. For that, cooperation from all parties in handling malaria is necessary, especially to
encourage behavioral changes into clean and healthy life behavior. In addition, it is also necessary to have an institution
to collect, move, coordinate and synergize all potentials and resources needed to fight malaria. Thus, on December 8th
,
2004, Malaria Center was built in West Halmahera. In addition to developing Malaria Center, the following strategies to
combat malaria had been prepared.
∙ Empowering fighting of water inundation as a place of mosquitos breeding
∙
Protecting pregnant mothers, infants and children under five from malaria by providing mosquito net with
insecticide
∙ Local content on Malaria for pupils in basic schools
Ending the story of malaria from South Halmahera, Mr. Firman asked all participants to sing a March Song “Fight
Malaria”

‐‐‐ Timotius Hindom
Mr. Timotius Hindom, from Wukendik Village in West Fakfak District, West Papua told his experiences in growing various
types of trees in his dry land. “So as to continue my children’s school,” Mr. Hindom explained about his motivation to
grow trees for additional income for his family.
He has worked hard for 17 years to grow trees with economic value, such as nutmeg and fruits.
Tree seedlings were obtained by Mr. Timothy from various places. He even obtained some from collecting grains he
found on the roads or dryfield. He also got not a few seedlings from his family. Currently, he has planted trees on land of
about 50 hectares.
Not only taking its benefits, Timothy invited several other families to grow different species of trees on empty land
abandoned. Until now, there have been twenty families following him, including Indigenous King in Kampung Werba, Mr.
Onim Bay.
Mr. Timotius Hindom’s hard work had taken him as one of the receivers of Kalpataru Award from the President of the
Republic of Indonesia. Now, Timotius is active to encourage families and communities in his village to grow trees on
empty land. The motivation is not just for increasing income, but also to preserve the environment and reduce global
warming!

Women's Cooperative for Better Quality Of Life Men usually deal with banks for loan and it is still difficult to get, this has motivated Mrs. Wa Ode Sabariah to establish
village cooperatives without any skill to manage it. At the time, it was originated from a family gathering (arisan), and
then brought forth Sintesa Foundation, which further assisted housewives in Poogalampa village, Buton, Southeast
Sulawesi to develop cooperatives.
At the time, the management board members had limited skill. Until now, Mrs. Wa Ode Sabariah can not operate a
computer, but she was very happy to attend the EIF V and shared her experiences representing her colleagues. In the
cooperatives, they have main savings, voluntary savings and compulsory savings. Cashflow recording was also made to
let the members aware of where their money goes. Finally, the people want to join since they already have a system,
particularly for recording. They know that their money was collected in one place. In addition, the low interest rate of
only 1% without administration fee, and the place is easier to reach than banks made the people more interested to
saving in the cooperatives. Even, there are some people who withdrawn from the bank to be saved in the cooperatives.
From the capital of 1.5 millions rupiah at the cooperative opening, now we have assets worth about 400 millions rupiah.
The impact felt by the people with the presence of the cooperative for 10 years is that they can send their children to
pursue higher education, obtain business capital and build houses. Closing the dialogue, Ms. Sabariah left a message
that all women should support the cooperatives since it bring positive impact to the family.

Village‐Managed Water Utility Company in Lombok
The quest for treasures on Smart Practices continued to Village Lendang Nangka, District of East Lombok, West Nusa
Tenggara. Mr. Mohamad Tahir and Mr. Supratman told the story of public initiative through the community‐based
organization to manage existing water resources for water consumption of the villagers. Mr. Mohamad Tahir told the
villgers’ efforts in managing water, making a mutual agreement and setting regulations on water. In addition, since the
water management was directly conducted by the villagers, pipe damaging and stealing were never happened until now.
All management works of water resources were carried out by autodidact without theoretical comprehension. While he
has at the age of 80 years, Mr. Mohamad Tahir was still always elected to become chairman of BAPAMDES (village
drinking water enterprise) with his modeled leadership. One of the main strengths in this system is regulation,
management and clear fund use. To date, in addition to having access to clean water, the villagers can also improve their
income by opening small business on ice making.

CENTRAL SULAWESI
Understanding Our Potential for
Better Planning ‐‐‐ Longki Djanggola,
Bupati of Parigi Moutong
For Mr. Longki, leading Parigi Moutong district was just
initiated by building mindset sourcing from the change of
development paradigm, namely from centralized into
decentralized system, top‐down into bottom‐up planning,
and
the
notion
that
communities
are
subject
of
development. He believed that development can be
carried out smoothly if supported by a comprehensive
planning based on valid data and public voices.
Recognizing the regional potency and socio‐cultural
condition of the people is the starting effort to develop
Parigi Moutong. Poor conditions in education and health
sectors, as well as poverty are evidences to the unfair
development. In aspect of regional economy, many
agricultural
products
were
claimed
by
neighboring
regency.
Efforts made were conducting training for MDGs’ cadres
for poverty reduction and health and education
improvement. Early age children education was also
provided expecting free illiteracy in 2013. Closing his
story, he leaves a message that there are some principles
that must be applied in regional development, i.e.,
welfare should be well‐planned, create secured and
peaceful environment, government officers are public
servant and leaders must be loved by its people.

Woman Monitoring Village Budget
‐‐‐ Nelci Pellandou
Another inspiring story came from Mrs. Nelci Pellandou
in Kupang, East Nusa Tenggara. A woman who previously
worked as Village Secretary in Village Manusak in 2005‐
2009, told her experiences in monitoring village budget.
When she worked as a village officer, she witnessed an
improper management of village budget. In early 2010,
she challenged herself to join a writing contest with a
theme “Timor Women Criticizing Budget” organized by
NTT Policy Forum. Apparently, she got a champion with
her writing and evoking various local mass media to raise
issues about women's role in monitoring the village funds
in their publications.
Since the writing was addressed by many local media,
many women in other villages eventually moved to
question the management of funds in theirvillage. Although she received unforeseen responses, she
ust feels as a woman who is not capable of doing
extraordinary things. But, now she is more confident to
continue evoking women in the surrounding area to
participate in monitoring the management of village
funds.
Finally she leaves a message that “if you want to have
better development, please listen to women! This
closing speech got applause from all participants.

At the end of the first day’s program, Riri Riza, Indonesia’s talented director from South Sulawesi,
shared an inspirational story about his experiences became a movie director in Indonesia.
Indonesia's cultural wealth is a huge potential to improve
quality of movie production in Indonesia. Currently, many
people consider a movie simply from the economic
aspect only. In fact, a movie can be a powerful media for
communicating regional potencies and cultures. Similarly
with Belitung, which became famous from the novel and
movie “Laskar Pelangi ” written by Andrea Hirata, the
movie made native people from Belitung in demand.
Riri Riza started to love movies since his childhood, at
which time he often accompanied his father, who was an
official at the Information Service of South Sulawesi,
played propaganda movies on development. Riri decided
to continue his education in the field of movie production
in 1988. After graduating in 1993, the Indonesian movies
industry was sinking. While at the same time, in the
world, movies were started to be used as a medium to
deliver ideas for empowering community. Later on, this
became a movement for the movie community. For
example in the USA, a black movie director Spike Lee
showed up racism in the USA by producing a movie that
later on developed into anti‐slavery movement.
According to Riri, Indonesian movies have the same
potential to develop even at the world stage. Laskar Pelangi , which tells about the destruction of a
community after the end of tin mining in Belitung, has
brought a story about Indonesia into different world film
festivals. The movie received great appreciations from many
audiences both at home and abroad.
The impact was immediate as well. Since Laskar Pelangi was
there, knowledge of Indonesian people about Belitung was
growing and this activating tourism visits in the
region. Before the movie was booming, in 2008 there was
only one hotel there. Now there have been six hotels. The
movie actors, native kids from Belitung, were now having
learning tools, and got scholarships until higher education.
Ending his story, Riri Riza underlined that movie is an
alternative way of thinking that may help to express success
stories. What makes the Laskar Pelangi easily accepted by
the audience was because the story is close to our
existence, just like all the stories on Smart Practices in
eastern Indonesia presented in this forum.

The second day of EIF meeting began with a talk show with
representatives from international development partners
guided by Chandra Sugarda to know their responses to the
smart practices presented. International Development
Partners were represented by Sam Zappia (AusAID), Richard
Manning (AusAID), Daniel Hunt (AusAID), Patricia McCullagh
(CIDA), Blair King (USAID), and Amin Subekti (World Bank).
The purpose of this talk show is to convey thoughts,
programs, ideas and response to Smart Practices from
Eastern Indonesia.
Blair King (USAID) delivered his exceptional credit to BaKTI
and clearly impressed to the substance and management of
this meeting. It was shown by the enthusiasm of all
participants to join the meeting until afternoon. He was also
very impressed to the inspiring Smart Practices
delivered. But, according to Blair King, there are two things
that become future challenges, namely how to maintain the
success achieved and how to disseminate such Smart
Practices to other regions. One of the common things in the
sixth Smart Practices is leadership: village head, district
head and residents. They are the key to successful
innovation.Smart Practices should be more institutionalized
in the form of supporting regulations to be sustainable andnot just depending on the initiators who give the first
inspiration.
BaKTI was also asked to make documentation of all stories
on experiences or Smart Practices from the previous years
to be indexed and sent to all district heads in Eastern
Indonesia. The theme "Treasure" for the meeting is also very
interesting since it makes the program active and
memorable.
The next comment was given by Patricia Mc Cullagh
(CIDA). According to her, the Smart Practices told on the first
day described the important role of women to promote
community and economy. Nevertheless, violence against
women still continues so that efforts to eliminate the bad
behavior are necessary. Thus, the role of women can be
improved so that they would be more courageous to say, act
and play in their community. Helping women means helping
the community to move forward since they will educate
their
children
and
then
bring
their
village
or
community
to
abetter condition. Safe House of Women in Kupang is an
outstanding example and applicable to protect women and
at the same time strengthens the men, women, children
and even communities at large to contribute in eliminating
violence against women.
Discussions continued by hearing comments from Australia‐
Indonesia Partnership – AusAID and the World Bank. Talking
about Smart Practices means talking about accountability,
transparency and responsibility. This is important to be
done in all places. An interesting example came from Bupati
Boalemo in Gorontalo, who managed to reduce poverty
rate from 50% to 20% and dared to expose the district
budget in his office’s guest room to show it to every
guest. Smart Practices from Lendang Nangka, East Lombok
on water management was another form of accountability
and transparency. It was expected that the Smart Practices
can be spread to other regions. Although each region also
has its own uniqueness, but generally the stories on Smart
Practices could be replicated with local enrichment so that
local struggles can enrich efforts at the national level.
In general, the international development partners look
that efforts to discover and search for examples of such
Smart Practices are important and to give support for
replication and dissemination of these examples to other
regions to help them finding out solutions and adapting it to
the local conditions. Hence, the EIF plays an important role
to connect international development partners with local
governments, as well as to the existing local solutions.
What is the role of International Development Partners in
Sustainable Development in Eastern Indonesia?
This is one of the questions raised to the international
development partners after they listen to the progress from
the districts which describe self ‐reliance through
presentation on Smart Practices on the first day. Though of
course there are many areas in Eastern Indonesia requiring
assistance.
Responding to this, all representatives from the
International Development Partners in the program agreed
that smart solutions exist anywhere and even all around
us. Everything just needs to be translated into real works
and built on a sense of confidence. At this level, the
international development partners can facilitate. It must berealized that the international development partners do not
always have much knowledge on all events in the field. It is
important to think about how the Smart Practices can be

realized into a real program in the community.
For instance, the World Bank supports the Government of
Indonesia through a program named PNPM (national
program for community empowerment). In Papua, this
program was adapted into a program name RESPEK
(strategic plan for village development). This is an example
how to use existing local solutions to be developed and
replicated widely.
The international development partners play a role as a
fire, while the government, public and private sector play a
role as a wood. They only act as a catalyst to ignite the fire,
while we should be able to continue to look for woods.
Coordination is also an important thing for organizing
various issues. Since we talk about sustainability, many
elements need to be supported. Thus, through a good
coordination between international development partners
and the government, there could be many BaKTI which
could be used as a medium for exchanging knowledge and
communicating among the parties, especially the
government, community and international development
partners. In addition, energy generated from the
presentation on Smart Practices can generate spirit of the
international development partners to continue. Hopefully
videos on Smart Practices could be forwarded to Jakarta for
learning the lessons that could be adopted and replicated
elsewhere.
Building Collaboration among Stakeholders
Development of a dimension definitely relates to other
dimensions, for instance women empowerment has a great
impact on the family economy. Therefore, real and greatcontributions are necessary to community development as
a whole. For example, USAID during the last ten years had
made breakthroughs on assistance in collaboration with
the private sector compared to the period of 60‐70s. At the
time, collaboration with the private sector in the form of
innovations was still limited compared to now. Today,
amount of funds is larger, and investment by private sector
is very little, while value of bilateral and multi‐lateral
collaborations becomes smaller. In the end, private sector
has greater resources than the government. For that, there
must be collaboration among all parties for this.
To build collaboration among stakeholders in Eastern
Indonesia (EI), it is important for EI to have agendas since
international development partners can support agendas
prepared by EIF. Therefore, the EIF should be able to give
directions to raise issues that could be responded by the
international development partners. Another challenge is
how to support the EIF in the future. Currently, the EIF was
still supported largely by the international development
partners. It would be good if the EIF can get support from
all parties, both the government and private sectors.
As to the relation between the government and non‐
government parties, it was realized that there are only few
international development partners focusing on Local
Community Organizations. In fact, number of such
organizations is large and they are considered to be able to
build their respective regions. However, now the
international development partners was still more
associated with the government, especially the central
government, and after that they just associate with such
organizations. So, in the future there is a desire to build
strong relationships among the local community
organizations, local governments and private sector.
Closing this dialog, the international development
partners encouraged governments from 12 provinces in
Eastern Indonesia to support the next EIF.

BUDGET ALLOCATION FOR VIOLENCE
VICTIMS
Main Issues:
Violence against women, domestic violence, trafficking
both locally and domestically or internationally, facilities
for victims such as Safe House, limited funding ‐
facilitators or counselors often spent personal money
during assistance to victims, more active involvement by
parties other than NGOs.
Contents of resolution:
1. Allocating special funds from DAK and APBD for the
victims of violence. Policy in implementation of pro‐
gender regulation generally remains weak. So,
supporting mechanism should be attempted. To date,
DAK usually went to local government (city/
district). Efforts must be done to optimize fund use
for assisting victims of violence.
2. DAK formulation should consider population and
history of regional cases to show up egalitarian or
equal aspect.
3. Transparent DAK/ APBD mechanism for the Local
Community Organizations.
4. Men involvement in the campaign.
5. Optimization of EI networks for information sharing.
GENDER EQUALITY
ELIMINATION OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
& TRAFFICKING AND WOMEN

Main issues:
1. Cases on domestic violence and trafficking are still
taken place even though the Law No. 23/2004 on
Domestic Violence Handling and the Law No. 21/2007
on Fighting against Trafficking have been effective.
2. Women involvement in development is guaranteed
by the Laws, but real participation of women in
development
was
not
optimum
yet.
Contents of resolution:
1. Encouragement of the government to empower the
P2TP2A (integrated service center for children and
women empowerment) in all districts and provinces.
2. Replication of Safe House in villages and other
strategic locations, both by the government and
community.
3. Encouragement of the establishment of trauma
center
for
rehabilitation
of
victims
of
domestic
violence and trafficking, particularly for underage
children.
4. Issuance of provincial and district/ city regulations on
implementing guidelines for prevention and handling
of domestic violence and trafficking, and operation of
Safe House in each village (without waiting for
issuance of provincial regulation).
5. Empowerment of community, family, victims and
actors particularly for improvement of economy and
other social capitals.
6. Consistent law enforcement, and monitoring and
evaluation by BPD (village council).
7. Establishment of networks among provinces and
neighboring countries in prevention and fighting of
trafficking.
8. Improvement of women leadership vulnerable to
conflict significantly (UNSCR 1325).

REPLICATION OF VILLAGE SCHOOL IN
REMOTE AREAS IN EASTERN
INDONESIA
Main issues:
Lack of access to public service, no supporting policy
at district level to village school activities, weak
support for operation, lack of public awareness on
investment in education, strengthening of local
human resources capacity to become movers for
supporting the village schools.
Contents of
resolution:
Strategy: Development of curriculum for village
school based on local community needs. Contents of
education are adjusted with the progress.
New policy: Village school should be a collective
responsibility of government and community.
School building can not be the only one indicator for
education advancement.
There should be a regulation by the government to
establish and support village school anywhere in
Eastern Indonesia. In district Sarmi, Papua, issuance
of a district regulation on the operation of education
contributed to budget allocation for village school
operation. This district regulation could be
continued by issuance of Regent’s Decree to
strengthen the initiative.
Idea:
Replication
of
village
school
in
Eastern
Indonesia. Smart Practice from Papua could be a
model to enable replication of village school in other
regions of Eastern Indonesia.

Contents of resolution:
1. Allocating budget from DAK for education
managed by villagers.
2. Developing institutionalized control system for

MAINTAIN SMART PRACTICES ON
HEALTH
Main issues: inspiring story from Bone‐bone, public
awareness, leadership and law enforcement.
Contents of resolution:
1. Reactivating inactive community‐based health
services, e.g., posyandu (integrated health
station) and so on.
2. Simple and practical health campaign to create
public awareness. Example from Bone‐bone
village, the head of village, Mr. Idris, initiated
free‐cigarette smoke village. The first way to do
is how to make people understand? How to
create awareness in a simple way?
3. Introduction on clean and healthy life behavior
which is required since early age.
4. Model leadership is a determining point for
successful health campaign.
5. Increasing number of health innovation
ambassadors, e.g., little doctor and healthy
general.
6. Using creative and local‐based approach. In
addition, the way should be made as simple as
possible, such as pregnant mothers should grow
banana and papaya trees since both crops are
healthy, nutritious and easy to rise.
HEALTH
COMMUNITY‐BASED HEALTH Main issues:
1.
Insufficient
health
funding
2. No corresponding commitment in health
development. No interconnection between
health office and other offices which are working
partially.
3. Clean and healthy life behavior were not
implemented properly by the community even
though promotion and publication were often
provided
4. Health development was not pro‐people. For
example, budget for improvement of health
center building was prioritized than provision of
complete medicines.
Contents of resolution:
1. Consistency of implementing and budgeting
policy for pro‐people health. There should be
clear budget allocation in APBD. At present,
traditional belief on ambition was changed in
villages, where children are encouraged to be a
teacher not a doctor.
2. Consistency of implementing and budgeting
policy for pro‐people health. Health development
policy should be based on ”regional specific”.
3. Development of local contents on health based in
existing health issues.

SUSTAINABLE COMMODITY AND
COMMUNITY‐BASED ECONOMY
Main issues: Commodity and community‐based
economy. Several sectors had developed it by cluster.
Everything must be based on study and conducted
continuously, not partially. JiKTI (EI Researcher Network)
can support such study.
Contents of resolution:
1. Establishment of an integrated cluster system from
upstream to downstream industries and even to
marketing.
Examples
of
primary
or
priority
commodities are seaweed, cocoa, coconut, fish and
rattan.
2. Involved parties: EIF, public service (local
government/ parliament members), entrepreneurs,
state‐owned enterprises, NGOs, CBOs, cooperatives
and definitely the press.
3. Strategies:
• SDM: it is important to provide dissemination for
stakeholders in agricultural, fishery and forestry
sectors.
How
to
assist
farmers
and
fishermen
to
have access to business capital? The main point is
how to make them bankable to get loan.
• Mind‐set revolution
• Capacity improvement, both for institution and
manpower.
4. Policies:
• Potency mapping
• Mobilization of Corporate Social Responsibility
(CSR) fund for more effective targeting.
•
Local wisdom on handling of coastal and small
island issues. This could be significant economic
potency.
• EIF involves parliament members, government
officials, actors, state‐owned enterprises and
entrepreneurs
• EIF – JiKTI conduct applicable research (e.g.,
coconut or seaweed laboratory)
ECONOMY
LOC L ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
Main issues:
1. Regulation: it is necessary to have Laws regulating
priority natural resources in districts to give local
people larger authorities to support and manage our
regions. At micro level, it is also necessary to have
regulation for protecting SMEs since many of them
were failed with global/ national economic changes
where in the end they could not faced the healthy
competition.
2. Capital, due to the high bank interest. It could be
obtained
from
CSR
as

DEVELOPMENT PLANNING REFORM
Main issues: inverted pyramid of budget, more focus on
community
and
not
to
government
officials,
sometimesconsumed a lot of time to explain so it is necessary to
prepare written explanation–such as the story told by Mr.
Iwan Bokings who patched district budget on his office’s
guest room–, reform of DAU distribution and expenditures
– during the time, consideration was only the area of
district regardless of thinking about the infrastructures and
landscapes, program synergy between central and local
government – defining basic principles why the Smart
Practices could be working somewhere?
Strategies:
1. Mindset change of local leaders and government
officials as public servant.
2. Community is the actor/ subject of development and
should be involved in every process.
3. Leadership and example from local government are key
success of public services.
4. Mainstreaming the mass media role, including the press
and movie makers to publish the outputs for
transparency process.
5. Central and local government policies.
a. Central: DAU, where the allocation should consider
infrastructures and also condition of the population
e.g., poverty, education, health and regions, such as
small islands.
b. Local regulation on information transparency and
openness.
c. Rules associated with the above strategies.
PUBLIC SERVICES

Closing the 5th
EIF conference, Mr Alex Retraubun, as
Deputy Minister of Industry, gave his responses on Smart
Practices presented and overall implementation of the5th
EIF.
Before he started, he gave his appreciation to the 5th
EIF
as a forum that is full of innovations. The programs
performed on the stage are far from a classic image,
especially boring. The meeting room was always full for
two days until the event is finished.
Regarding Smart Practices, his first response is that there is
a common understanding from all the presentations on
Smart Practices, namely leadership is Important to
execute innovation.
There are a lot of innovations at the
individual level, but to be a message and developed,
innovations must be consistently done. How to persuade
people to follow us, that is leadership. Leadership is how
to ask people to follow us, who have to prove something
first. Therefore, we must understand well what we do and
feel.
All activities could be executed since there is a strong
leadership. For example, how a doctor with his capacity is
able to govern the governor, it happens because there is
innovation and creativity, which become new
breakthroughs. The practice which invites public officials
to sleep in the house of people is a great idea. This shows
how the Bupati invites someone else to have a concern
and understanding on the real situation. In addition,
experiences working as a government official proved that
investigation into the field should be done alone, not just
rely on reports from subordinates.
Innovation could be done or said to succeed when it can
overcome the social and economic issues. Smart practice
on clean water management is very good as it brings thesetwo contexts. For that, don’t let the innovations stop
there. Eastern Indonesia Forum was born from
anxiety. Although the "go east development" has been
established since the days of the new order, but until now
the changes in Eastern Indonesia were still limited since
there
is
a
rule
that
deliberately
played
down
the
eastern
region, which is about the fiscal balance between central
and local governments. The present regulation set forth
that a region with larger population and area may receive
larger amount of budget. Population outside of Java Island
is only amounting to about 20%, so Maluku with only 1.3
millions people do not have bigger bargaining power.
Therefore, it takes a huge energy to combine the energies
of society, NGOs, the local government and others.
The EIF should be also getting close to the lawmakers in
Senayan. Because, although there are some parliament
members from Maluku, the number was very small
compared to other provinces in the West, so the political
bargaining power is very small. Therefore, all parties in EIF
should be sitting down together with the companions
from Senayan to follow these processes. EIF should
become partner of the government, and all the
Bupati/Walikota and the Governors must have one word
about this.
How does the strategic policy of the Ministry of Industry
and Trade could be synergized? There must be courage to
call for growth improvement in eastern Indonesia. Some
commodities, such as cocoa, are coming from the eastern
Indonesia However, the processing plants were not
available there, only in Java Island. Alike seaweed, the
contribution of raw materials were mostly coming from
the eastern Indonesia, but the processing plants were not
available. In fact, it could be produced at least 500 end‐
products from the seaweed development, which means
increase in the economy activities. One of the reasons for
the absence of the processing plants are the existing
infrastructures was inadequate. To boost up industry, all
CLOSING

potentials need to be identified and it is important to add
Smart Practices in order to foster community‐based
economy.
The law on fiscal balance between central and local
governments should also be amended. Geographical
structure must be considered since we are archipelagic
nation that could not be equalized with other large islands,
such as Java.
As he closed the program, Mr. Alex Retraubun, who also
came from Eastern Indonesia, namely Tayando Island,
Maluku Province, asked the participants to sing a few songs,
including "Killing Me Softly" and "Sio Mama".
The 5th Eastern Indonesia Forum meetings finally closed
with a full sense of unification. All participants held hands
and sang the song that symbolizes the loving brotherhood
from Maluku entitled Gandong E.
Living as brothers
Do not get lost,
We are all one offspring
Helping each other
Loving brothers each other,
That is Maluku custom
One hurts, all felt
One troubled, helping each other,
Oh ... fellow brothers
Do not get lost
Just because of property
You’ll regret it later on my brother,
Speak nicely
Do not hurt your brother
Let us unite
Living as brothers
Gandong E (Brotherhood)
