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
