    Project Background The main objective of the project with CDD

    Component is to deliver infrastructure in anurban slum areas.

    NUSSP provided grant to communities to developinfrastructure, such as road conjunction,drainage, waste management system, sanitation,

    clean water, road lighting, and microcredit forbuilding/renovating modest housing.

    NUSSP encouraged community participation atplanning, executing, monitoring and maintening

    stages of the proposed project. The project had improved 6800 Hectares of urban

    slum in 800 neighborhood, in 32 cities, andbenefited 3 million people

    Community Participation (1) Identification of Community Needs and Priorities

    Participation at this stage varied:Participation in rural villages were more intensive

    compare to that of urban villages.

    The reasons, among others were: the rural villagers

    had more time and relatively had stronger solidarityThe poor and marginal people were not systematically

    encouraged to participate

    Women participation was weak

    Despite of high quantity, the quality of participation wasremain low

    The elite still dominates decision-making processes.

    Community Participation (2)

    Service Delivery (operation and

    maintenance) Participation in project execution depended on

    types of project implementation (SP2/SP3)

    Almost all communities were voluntarilycommitted to minor maintenance

    Some communities were committed toorganized maintenance activities.

    This maintenance variation to some extent wasrelated to the context in which constructionworks were implemented (Sp2/SP3), financialavailability, and the degree of socialcohesiveness

    Community Participation (3)

    Transparency and Accountability The level of transparency and accountability to some

    extent is depended on the level of participation.

    Transparency and accountability under projects self-implemented by the community itself (thoseimplemented under the SP3 pattern) was greater thanthat of subprojects implemented under the less

    participatory SP2 pattern. Community perception on transparency and

    accountability was limited to the issues of corruption,channeling information

    Major issue in Promoting and Sustainingcitizen Participations

    Deeper understanding on the communities socio -culture

    Increasing common awareness on the importanceof participatory approach through organicmechanism of facilitation.

    Mainstreaming participatory approach in all smallscale village development efforts.

    Provide more options for communityparticipation, i.e, polling (not necessarily direct

    meeting)

    Use endogenous and or trusted institution ratherthan project driven institutions.

    Key Lessons Learn (1)

    CDD initiatives might mitigate against the negativeimpact of urbanization.

    Institutionalizing community participation is a long-term

    task in that it requires assimilation of new values andtraditions by beneficiary communities.

    Community based planning has possible lag ofintegration with that of more macro level planning.

    Encouraging large-scale involvement of heterogeneouscommunity members can in some cases complicateimplementation of the development initiative

    Key Lessons Learn (2)

    Maximizing the degree of community participation was toensure that the planning of the initiative remains in thehands of the beneficiaries themselves

    It will most likely be necessary to make adjustments toparticipatory programs implemented in urban asopposed to rural areas
