Capacity-building

Part of the programme included developing a “capacity-building module” with educational and advocacy materials on promoting healthy rivers and eco-efficient water infrastructure development including the organization of a training work- shop on the development of the educational and advocacy materials.

The module was developed in the Indonesian language and titled “Pengem- bangan Kapasitas untuk Peningkatan Kapasitas Lingkungan” (Capacity-building for Environment Improvement). This module was used for the Community Training Programme for Sereng River Catchment Management that was held at Bendosari Village community hall on 21 and 22 September 2010.
The training was attended by approximately 80 participants from Bendosari Village. The first day of the training was focused on teaching and explanation of the components of the project. The second day was practical training on installing bio-pore holes in Bendosari Village.
The participants in the training consisted of village officials, youth and women who joined in the “empowerment of the family welfare movement” (Pember- dayaan Kesejahteraan Keluarga, PKK) and the farmers’ groups. The village head- man, advised, assisted and coordinated with JT1 in the selection of the participants. All critical stakeholders were included in the training as many of the participants are members of the group for the “empowerment of the family welfare move- ment” and the local farmers’ groups.
The programme was designed and delivered by JT1 officers with the active participation of the village headman). Although no formal evaluation/assessment of the participants was carried out immediately after the training, later training programmes on watershed conservation in this project location, including similar activities introduced in the earlier training, were carried out successfully by the lo- cal communities themselves. JT1 also conducted on-site training on development and maintenance of small biogas plants and water treatment construction facilities for the villagers in order to empower them to build and maintain their own future facilities.
