The SMERU Research Institute is pleased topublish its fourth Annual Report to present anaccount of the wide range of activities carriedout by the Institute in 2004 as well as itsfuture direction. The year 2004 has been asignificant milestone in SMERU's progresstowards establishing itself as an independentresearch institute in Indonesia.

Over the years the Institute has broadened itshorizon. Last year it initiated capacity buildingactivities for NGOs and has been approachedto enhance the capacity of various otherstakeholders such as the Secretariat Generalof the Parliament (DPR), and other practitionersand policy makers. This indeed is a greatopportunity for sharing, which is a guidingprinciple of the Institute. Its focus, however,remains firmly on quality policy research.While SMERU continues to conduct researchin its core areas of expertise such as poverty,regional autonomy and governance, in 2004it has also conducted research on relativelyless explored issues including micro creditand social capital. Several new issues such asHIV/AIDS and maternal mortality that are ofcrucial importance for the people of Indonesiawill be the subject of SMERU's future research.

the SMERU Director

SMERU will strive to maintain its focus onquality research, intensify its role in policydialogue, and carry out its capacity buildingactivities effectively. Balancing these activitiesin a planned and efficient manner remainsone of the challenges before SMERU, whichthe Institute is committed to fulfilling.

SMERU continues to be recognized bystakeholders and development partners whohave shown immense confidence in SMERU.Our donors continued support has enabledSMERU to scale new heights in the field ofapplied social and economic research inIndonesia. I take this opportunity to acknowledgetheir contribution.

In 2004 SMERU has received requests fromexternal funding agencies (apart from theregular donors) to conduct several researchstudies. This is a healthy sign that reflectsconfidence in SMERU's capability and is asmall step towards its financial sustainability.

All this has been possible because of theguidance provided by the Board of Governorsas well as the dedicated efforts of our researchers,publication team and administrative staff.I convey my heartfelt gratitude and apprecia-tion to all of them. Without them SMERU wouldnot have been able to realize its vision.

Lembaga Penelitian SMERU berbahagiadapat menyajikan Laporan Tahunannya yangkeempat yang memuat rangkaian kegiatanyang telah dilakukan SMERU selama tahun2004 dan arah kegiatan lembaga ini di masadatang. Kami menandai tahun 2004 inisebagai tonggak perkembangan SMERUdalam upayanya untuk tampil sebagailembaga penelitian independen di Indonesia.

Selama ini SMERU telah memperluascakupan kegiatannya. Tahun lalu SMERUmelakukan penguatan kapasitas ornop, dantelah diminta untuk meningkatkan kapasitasberbagai pemangku kepentingannya, sepertiSekretariat Jenderal DPR-RI, para praktisi danpembuat kebijakan lainnya. Memang, iniadalah kesempatan emas untuk berbagi,salah satu prinsip yang selama ini menjadilandasan SMERU. Sekalipun demikian, fokuskegiatan SMERU tetap sama, yaitumenghasilkan penelitian kebijakan yangbermutu. Selain itu, SMERU terus melakukanpenelitian pada bidang kajian utamanya,yaitu mengenai kemiskinan, otonomi daerahdan tata kelola pemerintahan, pada tahun2004 SMERU juga melakukan penelitianmengenai isu-isu yang relatif kurang terjamah,misalnya keuangan mikro dan modal sosial.Beberapa isu baru yang sangat penting bagimasyarakat Indonesia seperti HIV/AIDS dankematian ibu juga akan menjadi subjekpenelitian SMERU di masa datang.

SMERU akan berusaha keras untuk mencapaitujuan utamanya, yaitu menghasilkanpenelitian bermutu, meningkatkanperanannya dalam dialog kebijakan danmelakukan kegiatan peningkatan kapasitassecara efektif. Menjaga keseimbangan dalammelakukan semua kegiatan-kegiatan tersebutsecara terencana dan efisien akan selalumenjadi tantangan bagi SMERU yang telahberketetapan untuk melaksanakan itu semua.

SMERU tetap diakui oleh pemangkukepentingan dan mitra kerjanya yang telahmenaruh kepercayaan tinggi pada SMERU.Dukungan tanpa henti dari para donortelah memungkinkan SMERU melakukanterobosan baru di bidang penelitian sosialdan ekonomi terapan. Pada kesempatan inisaya menyampaikan terima kasih atasdukungan para donor.

Pada tahun 2004 SMERU telah menerimapermintaan dari beberapa badan dana diluar donor tetap SMERU untuk melakukansejumlah studi. Hal ini dengan jelasmenunjukkan adanya kepercayaan yangbesar terhadap kemampuan SMERU, dan iniadalah langkah awal menuju keberlanjutanSMERU di bidang finansial.

Kesemuanya ini telah dimungkinkan denganadanya bimbingan dari Badan PengurusSMERU, juga upaya para peneliti, timpublikasi dan staf administrasi kami yangpenuh dedikasi. Saya menyampaikan terimakasih dan penghargaan saya yangsedalam-dalamnya. Tanpa mereka SMERUtak mungkin mewujudkan visinya.

The Sulawesi Agricultural Area DevelopmentProject (SAADP) is an economic-commercialproject to reduce poverty in Central andSoutheast Sulawesi. The project was fundedby a World Bank loan, and implementedbetween August 1996 and December 2003.Since 1999 the focus of the project has beentargeted at local community initiatives (IMS)with an emphasis on microfinance activities,that are managed at the village level by theVillage Finance/Activities Management Unit(UPKD).

At the request of the World Bank, fromFebruary to May 2004 the SMERU ResearchInstitute undertook research on SAADP to:evaluate its economic and social impact;investigate the implementation process at thelocal level; and study the experience ofSAADP in the framework of policydevelopment and planning future activities.The research used a combination ofqualitative and quantitative methods and wascarried out in four kabupaten, namelyDonggala and Tolitoli in Central SulawesiProvince as well as Konawe Selatan andMuna in Southeast Sulawesi Province. Ineach kabupaten, three villages that hadparticipated in SAADP were selected as

sample areas, also one village as onecontrol village. There were a total of 618respondent households, consisting of 408SAADP households, 90 control householdsliving in the SAADP villages and 120 controlhouseholds in control villages. Samplehouseholds were chosen randomly, exceptfor control households in the SAADP villagesthat were selected purposively.

Based on the evaluation results, it can beconcluded that the success of the SAADPproject is the result of the development ofthe UPKD, the implementation mechanismand its impact on community socio-economicaspects that varies between research areas.Nevertheless, the SAADP project has overallbeen less than successful because mostUPKDs are not running smoothly and theimpact of the project on the community'ssocio-economic condition is relatively minor.

Considering the many ongoing weaknessesin project implementation, that anunderperforming UPKD can influence theperformance of other UPKDs, the relativelylarge amount of resources and fundsalready spent and the fact that the presenceof UPKDs is also still felt to be important bythe community, if the SAADP project is to becontinued, it should focus on reviving,improving and expanding the existingUPKDs so that they can provide an examplefor future project implementation.

Proyek Pengembangan Wilayah BerbasisPertanian (SAADP) adalah proyek yangbersifat ekonomi-komersial untuk mengurangikemiskinan di Sulawesi Tengah dan SulawesiTenggara. Proyek ini dibiayai dana pinjamanBank Dunia, dan dilaksanakan pada Agustus1996 hingga Desember 2003. Sejak tahun1999 proyek ini difokuskan pada InisiatifMasyarakat Setempat (IMS) denganpenekanan pada kegiatan keuangan mikroyang di tingkat desa dikelola oleh UnitPengelola Kegiatan/Keuangan Desa (UPKD).

Untuk memenuhi permintaan Bank Dunia,pada Februari hingga Mei 2004 LembagaPenelitian SMERU melakukan penelitiantentang SAADP untuk: menilai dampak sosialdan ekonomi; mengetahui prosespelaksanaan di tingkat lokal; danmempelajari pengalaman SAADP dalamrangka pengembangan kebijakan danmerancang kegiatan lanjutan. Penelitian inimenggunakan kombinasi metode kuantitatifdan kualitatif dan dilakukan di empatkabupaten, yaitu Donggala dan Tolitoli diProvinsi Sulteng, serta Konawe Selatan danMuna di Provinsi Sultra. Di setiap kabupaten,

dipilih tiga desapeserta SAADP dansatu desa kontrol. Totalresponden berjumlah618 rumah tangga,terdiri dari 408 rumahtangga SAADP, 90rumah tangga kontrolyang tinggal di desaSAADP, dan 120 rumah tangga kontrol daribeberapa desa kontrol. Sampel rumahtangga dipilih secara acak, kecuali rumahtangga kontrol di desa SAADP yang dipilihsecara purposif.

Berdasarkan hasil evaluasi dapat disimpulkanbahwa keberhasilan proyek SAADP dapatdilihat dari perkembangan UPKD, mekanismepelaksanaan, dan dampaknya terhadapaspek sosial ekonomi masyarakat yangbervariasi antarwilayah penelitian. Namundemikian, secara keseluruhan dapatdikatakan proyek SAADP kurang berhasilkarena banyaknya UPKD yang macet dandampak SAADP terhadap kondisi sosialekonomi masyarakat relatif kecil.

Mengingat masih banyaknya kelemahandalam pelaksanaan proyek dan adanyaUPKD yang macet dapat mempengaruhikinerja UPKD lain, sementara sumber dayadan dana yang sudah dikeluarkan cukupbesar dan keberadaan UPKD juga masihdirasakan penting bagi masyarakat, makajika proyek SAADP akan dilanjutkan,sebaiknya difokuskan untuk menghidupkan,memperbaiki dan mengembangkan UPKDyang sudah ada agar dapat menjadi contohbagi pelaksanaan proyek selanjutnya.

VERIFICATION OF POVERTY MAPPING II

SMERU has developed a poverty map for30 provinces of Indonesia that estimatespoverty figures disaggregated down to thevillage level using econometric modelingbased on Susenas 1999, Podes 1999 andPopulation Census 2000 data. This mappingexercise was carried out so that programimplementers could better determine thetarget for poverty reduction and socialprotection programs. A field verification studywas conducted to assess whether themapping study using secondary data couldcapture the actual poverty condition. Thestudy attempted to understand the realdimensions of poverty, rank the regions(kabupaten, kecamatan and villages)according to their poverty condition andcompare them with rankings based onquantitative estimates.

Since poverty conditions are best understoodby local people, this study adopted aparticipatory approach. The data wasprimarily collected through focus groupdiscussions (FGDs) conducted at theprovince, kabupaten, kecamatan and villagelevels. The main information collectedthrough focus group discussions wascomplemented by a review of secondarydata, interviews with key informants atkecamatan and village levels, and direct

observation at the village level. The studyfound that the poverty rankings acrosskabupaten and kecamatan by small-areaestimation method are reasonably consistentwith the rankings generated through FGDs,but less consistent at the village level. Thusthe study suggests that small-area povertyestimates at the village level should be usedcautiously and it is advisable to verify themusing qualitative measures such as FGD ordirect observations.

The preliminary findings have been presentedat the International Conference on MappingPoverty in Southeast Asia jointly organized bythe SMERU Research Institute and the FordFoundation in Jakarta on 1-2 December2004, and at the Regional Workshop entitled"Study on Small-Area Poverty Estimation"organized by SMERU in collaboration with theResearch Center of Mataram University inLombok, on 20 December 2004. Anotherregional workshop was organized jointly withthe University of Sam Ratulangi, Manado on31 January 2005 to present the findings ofthis study. The report will be disseminated tothe public and other relevant agencies andinstitutions.

SMERU telah menyusun peta kemiskinanuntuk 30 provinsi di Indonesia yangmengestimasi angka kemiskinan yang terincihingga ke tingkat desa dengan menggunakanmodel ekonometrik berdasarkan data Susenas1999, Podes 1999 dan Sensus Penduduk2000. Pemetaan ini dilakukan agar pelaksanaprogram dapat menetapkan sasaran programpenanggulangan kemiskinan danperlindungan sosial dengan lebih baik. Studiverifikasi lapangan dilakukan untuk melihatapakah studi pemetaan denganmenggunakan data sekunder mampumenangkap kondisi kemiskinan yangsebenarnya. Studi ini berupaya memahamidimensi kemiskinan yang sesungguhnya,urutan wilayah-wilayah (kabupaten,kecamatan dan desa) sesuai dengan kondisikemiskinannya dan membandingkan urutanwilayah tersebut dengan urutan berdasarkanestimasi kuantitatif.

Karena kondisi kemiskinan lebih dipahamioleh kaum miskin itu sendiri, studi inimenggunakan pendekatan partisipatoris.Data penelitian terutama dikumpulkanmelalui Diskusi Kelompok Terarah (FGD) ditingkat provinsi, kabupaten, kecamatan dandesa. Informasi utama yang dihimpun melaluidiskusi kelompok ini dilengkapi dengantinjauan data sekunder, wawancara denganinforman kunci di tingkat kecamatan dandesa, dan pengamatan langsung di tingkatdesa. Studi ini menemukan bahwa urutantingkat kemiskinan di semua kabupaten dankecamatan dengan metode estimasi wilayah

kecil cukup konsisten dengan urutan yangdiperoleh melalui Diskusi Kelompok Terarah,tetapi kurang konsisten di tingkat desa.Dengan demikian, studi ini menunjukkanbahwa estimasi kemiskinan di wilayah kecildi tingkat desa harus digunakan denganpenuh kehati-hatian. Disarankan estimasitersebut diverifikasi dengan menggunakanpendekatan kualitatif, misalnya melaluiDiskusi Kelompok Terarah atau pengamatanlangsung di lapangan.

Temuan awal studi ini telah dipresentasikan diKonferensi Internasional "Mapping Poverty inSoutheast Asia", kerja sama antara LembagaPenelitian SMERU dan Ford Foundation diJakarta pada 1-2 Desember 2004, juga diLokakarya Daerah dengan topik "Studimengenai Estimasi Kemiskinan Wilayah Kecil"yang diselenggarakan oleh SMERU bekerjasama dengan Lembaga Penelitian UniversitasMataram di Lombok pada 20 Desember2004. Sebuah lokakarya daerah jugadiadakan bersama Universitas Sam Ratulangidi Manado pada 31 Januari 2005 untukmengangkat temuan studi ini. Laporan iniakan disebarluaskan kepada publik,lembaga atau badan terkait.

LESSONS LEARNED FROM MICROFINANCESERVICES IN EAST NUSA TENGGARA (NTT)

Microfinance is considered an importantand effective tool for poverty reduction. InIndonesia, the microfinance movement hasalready gained momentum, andmicrofinance schemes have been providedby various types of formal and informalfinancial institutions.

East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) is known as oneof the least-developed provinces inIndonesia. For this reason, various aidprograms, including microfinance schemes,have been developed in this province. Itremains to be proven, however, whethermicrofinance schemes are an effectiveinstrument for poverty reduction in NTT.SMERU sees the need to undertake a furtherinvestigation of these schemes.

The objectives of the study are firstly, toassess the effectiveness of microfinanceschemes in NTT and document the lessonsthat can be learnt, and, secondly, to identifythe unmet demand for microfinance services.With regard to the methodology, the studyadopted a qualitative approach. The field

research team conducted interviews usingguiding questions to collect information atthe provincial, kabupaten/kota, kecamatan,and village levels. At the village level, theteam also conducted in-depth interviewswith respondents who participated in thescheme as well as those who did not.Kabupaten Kupang and Manggarai wereselected as sample districts based on thepresence of microfinance services and othersocioeconomic criteria.

This study found that inadequate resourcesand infrastructure, a lack of proper skillsand knowledge, poor access to markets anda lack of marketable surplus prevent thepoor in NTT from benefiting frommicrofinance schemes or becomingengaged in income-generating activities.Microfinance services alone are insufficientto improve the economic status of the poorin NTT. This study suggests that othersectoral activities need to be developedbefore providing the poor with microfinanceservices. The study findings have beendisseminated among government agencies,non-government organizations and otherstakeholders.

Keuangan mikro dianggap sebagaiinstrumen penting dan efektif bagi upayapenanggulangan kemiskinan. Di Indonesia,gerakan keuangan mikro telah mencapaimomentum yang tepat, dan skema keuanganmikro telah disediakan oleh beragamlembaga keuangan mikro baik formalmaupun informal.

Nusa Tenggara Timur (NTT) dikenal sebagaisalah satu provinsi termiskin di Indonesia. Atasdasar itulah, berbagai program bantuantermasuk skema keuangan mikro telahdikembangkan di provinsi ini. Namun, tetapperlu dibuktikan apakah skema keuangan mikromerupakan instrumen yang efektif bagi upayapenanggulangan kemiskinan di NTT. SMERUmelihat adanya kebutuhan untuk mengkaji ulangskema keuangan mikro yang ada.

Tujuan dari studi ini adalah, pertama, untukmengkaji efektivitas skema keuangan mikro diNTT dan mendokumentasikan pelajaran-pelajaran berharga yang dapat dipetik, dankedua, untuk mengidentifikasi permintaanpelayanan keuangan mikro yang belumterpenuhi. Berkaitan dengan metodologiyang digunakan, studi ini menerapkanpendekatan kualitatif. Tim penelitilapangan melakukan wawancara denganmenggunakan panduan pertanyaan untukmengumpulkan informasi di tingkatprovinsi, kabupaten/kota, kecamatan dandesa. Di tingkat desa, tim juga melakukanwawancara mendalam dengan respondenyang ikut maupun yang tidak dalam skemakeuangan mikro. Kabupaten Kupang danManggarai dipilih sebagai sampel kabupaten

berdasarkan adanya pelayanan keuanganmikro dan kriteria sosial-ekonomi lainnya.

Studi ini menemukan bahwa sumber dayadan infrastruktur yang kurang memadai,kurangnya ketrampilan dan pengetahuan,akses pasar yang minim dan rendahnyasurplus yang dapat dipasarkan telahmenghambat kelompok miskin di NTT untukmendapat manfaat dari skema keuanganmikro atau terlibat dalam kegiatanpeningkatan pendapatan. Dapatdisimpulkan bahwa pelayanan keuanganmikro saja tidaklah cukup untukmeningkatkan status ekonomi kelompokmiskin di NTT. Studi ini menyarankan agarkegiatan sektor lain perlu dikembangkansebelum menyediakan pelayanan keuanganmikro bagi kelompok miskin. Temuan studiini telah disebarluaskan di antara lembagapemerintah dan Ornop serta pemangkukepentingan lainnya.

WHEN TEACHERS ARE ABSENT:WHERE DO THEY GO AND WHAT IS THE IMPACT

ON THE STUDENTS?

This report presents the results of a surveyconducted in 10 kabupaten on primaryeducation in Indonesia. The reportspecifically looks at teacher absenteeism andits effect on students. By determining thecorrelation between teacher absenteeismand the characteristics of individual teachers,schools and areas, the report providesnational policy-makers with information onabsenteeism, its effects and how to addressit. This research is the first of its kind inIndonesia.

The research work drew a number ofconclusions, including, inter alia: 1)Indonesia's public primary school teachershave an absenteeism rate of 19%; 2)absenteeism is significantly lower amongstfemale teachers; 3) the absenteeism rate issignificantly higher amongst contract andcasual teachers; 4) school facilities play animportant role in teacher absenteeism; 5)students in rural schools perform significantlypoorer in mathematical and literacy testscompared to students in urban schools; 6)

student-teacher ratios that are either too lowor too high are detrimental to studentperformance; and 7) student test results arelower if their teacher has additional jobs.

The findings of this study have been used asthe basis for follow-up studies: "EducationBudget Allocation in the Regional AutonomyEra: Its Implication for the Management ofPrimary Education Services" and "TheDeterminants of Student Performance inIndonesian Public Primary Schools: The Roleof Teachers and Schools."

SOCIAL SECURITY REFORM IN INDONESIA:AN ANALYSIS OF THE NEW NATIONAL SOCIAL

SECURITY LAW NO 40/2004

SMERU's study on Indonesia's social securityreform legislation is an extension of SMERU'sfocus on poverty reduction in the country. It isrecognized that an effective social securitysystem could help alleviate poverty. Theemerging consensus among social securityexperts worldwide however, is that while socialsecurity provision is important to help alleviatepoverty, it should be developed carefully andgradually so as not to inhibit economic growthand labor market flexibility, and as much aspossible should be provided through acompetitive market.

The Indonesian government has recentlypassed a new national social security law(Law No. 40 of 2004), which supportershave boasted would make the existing socialsecurity system work better, providing morebenefits for the beneficiaries, and wouldextend the social security coverage to moreworkers, both in the formal and informalsectors. Opponents have however, voiced

concerns that the new law has too manyweaknesses. SMERU's research is anattempt to critically analyze the new law andto predict its possible impacts on Indonesianworkers and the economy in general.

From our analysis, we conclude that thereare several potentially serious problems inthe government plan as outlined in the newlaw, such as: it could worsen labor marketconditions, might be financiallyunsustainable, could create negativepressures on the state budget and does notallow competition in the provision of socialsecurity benefits because the program wouldbe administered as a public monopoly. Thisis in contrast to the consensus that apublicly provided social security scheme isno longer a viable model. Instead, moreevidence has emerged from both developedand developing countries to indicate thatprivately provided social security schemesare, in general, better suited to workers'retirement needs.

In conclusion, we propose that Indonesiashould seriously consider adopting a socialsecurity scheme based on the widely usedthree-pillar system consisting of public socialsafety nets, private social security accountsand individual savings, in order to reform thecurrent social security system in Indonesia.

Studi SMERU mengenai reformasi peraturanperundangan jaminan sosial pemerintahIndonesia adalah perluasan dari fokusSMERU terhadap penanggulangankemiskinan di negeri ini. Diakui bahwa sistemjaminan sosial yang efektif akan mampumenanggulangi kemiskinan. Namun,konsensus yang muncul di antara para pakarjaminan sosial di berbagai penjuru duniaadalah bahwa meskipun penyediaan jaminansosial dianggap penting untukmenanggulangi kemiskinan, jaminan sosialharus dikembangkan dengan hati-hati dansecara bertahap agar tidak menghambatpertumbuhan ekonomi atau mengganggufleksibilitas pasar tenaga kerja, dan sedapatmungkin harus diberikan melalui mekanismepasar yang kompetitif.

Pemerintah Indonesia baru-baru inimengesahkan UU No 40/2004 tentangJaminan Sosial Nasional yang digembar-gemborkan pendukungnya bahwa UUtersebut akan menjadikan sistem jaminansosial yang sudah ada berjalan lebih baik,memberikan manfaat lebih besar padapenerima program, dan akan memperluasjangkauan layanan jaminan sosial kepadalebih banyak pekerja, baik dari sektor formalmaupun informal. Namun, mereka yang tidakmenyetujui berpendapat bahwa UU yang baruini mengandung terlalu banyak kelemahan.Penelitian SMERU ini adalah suatu upayauntuk menganalisis secara kritis UU yang baruini dan berusaha memperkirakan dampaknyaterhadap pekerja Indonesia danperekonomian Indonesia secara umum.

Kesimpulan analisis kami menunjukkanbahwa ada beberapa masalah potensialserius dalam rencana pemerintahsebagaimana tercantum dalam UU yangbaru, antara lain: UU baru Jaminan SosialNasional dapat memperburuk kondisi pasartenaga kerja, mungkin secara finansial tidakberkesinambungan, akan menciptakantekanan negatif terhadap APBN, dan tidakmemungkinkan munculnya persaingandalam pengadaan manfaat jaminan sosialkarena program tersebut dilaksanakansebagai sebuah monopoli negara. Hal iniberlawanan dengan konsensus bahwaskema jaminan sosial yang diselenggarakanoleh negara bukan lagi model yang baik.Semakin banyak bukti muncul baik darinegara-negara maju maupun sedangberkembang yang menunjukkan bahwaskema jaminan sosial yang dikelola pihakswasta umumnya lebih sesuai dengankebutuhan pekerja setelah pensiun.

Sebagai kesimpulan, kami mengusulkanagar pemerintah Indonesia secara seriusmempertimbangkan menggunakan skemajaminan sosial berdasarkan sistem tiga pilaryang sudah diterapkan secara meluas, yaituyang terdiri dari jaring pengaman jaminansosial, akun jaminan sosial yangdiselenggarakan sektor swasta, dantabungan individu, untuk mereformasisistem jaminan sosial yang saat ini berlakudi Indonesia.

The demographic breakdown of visitors to theSMERU website can be seen in the followingchart.

There is quite a high number of domains(40%) that can't be identified because a

significant number of internet protocol addressescan't be determined by the SMERU websitesystem.

The high level of access clearly affects theworkload of the SMERU server. This issuedemands a better web page structure and amore accurate system for the management

and development of data toensure the optimal functioningof the website pages. For thatreason, SMERU is now developinga back-office system that canimprove the process of updatingsite contents, as well as addingand making interaction easierfor visitors when searching forinformation on the SMERUwebsite.

The SMERU Website also fea-tures an NGO database. Thedatabase is being continuouslyupdated and can be accessedfree of charge. By the end of2004 the database consisted of2,394 NGOs working in 32provinces across Indonesia.Various national and interna-tional institutions have obtainedinformation from our NGODatabase.

SMERU LIBRARY

The SMERU library is intended as aninformation gateway and as a learning andresearch facility. One of the ways the libraryis meeting that responsibility is throughworking cooperatively with the libraries ofother institutions such as ILO, UNSFIR andADB in resource sharing and interlibraryloans.

In response to the urgent needs of theresearchers, the library enhances thepathfinder service every week in differenttopics. The topics are selected on the basis ofobservation as well as the research interestsof staff. At the end of 2004, the library'scollection totaled 1,713 monographs, 291news clippings and 231 regionalgovernment regulations (Perda). Circulationtransactions indicate that the library service isin significant demand by staff to assist intheir assignments.

In order to facilitate the distribution of items,the ISBN numbering format was introducedin 2004 and assigned to each publication inthe collection. Two copies of our researchreports are sent periodically to The NationalLibrary of Indonesia. Publications are alsosent to the Library of Congress representativein Jakarta.

The library at the moment oversees theResearch Travel Information database thatcontains information on hotels, educationalinstitutions, hospitals and clinics, policestations, and any important informationneeded by the researchers while conductingfield research. This year the library hasintroduced the concept of "knowledgemanagement" to the staff of SMERU.

NGO CAPACITY BUILDING

In 2004 the NGO Partnership Unit of theSMERU Research Institute succeeded incompleting to several major activity plansmentioned in the previous annual reports. InMay 2004, supported by the TifaFoundation, the Unit arranged training inresearch methodology for 21 participantsfrom 20 NGOs in 14 provinces inIndonesia. The training lasted 4 days andwas facilitated by 7 SMERU researchers, 2lecturers from the Indonesian ChristianUniversity and Bogor Agricultural University,4 resource persons from the Pirac, Legal AidInstitute (LBH), Wahid Institute andPerdamaian Titian Foundation and 1 personfrom Tifa Foundation. The training manual isin the process of being made into a CDversion and will be shared among otherNGOs who didn't have the opportunity toparticipate in this training.

To facilitate and increase the role as well as thecritical awareness and capacity of civil societyin East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) in the formulationof pro-poor policy plans and budgets, SMERUcooperated with KIKIS and PIAR to arrange aworkshop for NGOs, local governments andthe NTT DPRD with the topic "LocalDevelopment Initiatives for a Public Budgetingand Planning System Based on RegionalPoverty Reduction Strategy (SPKD)". The

workshop was held on 14 -16 October 2004in Kupang and attended by around 50participants from 6 kabupaten/kota in NTTwith the Governor of NTT, Bapak Piet A. TalloS.H. as the keynote speaker.

To investigate the role and impact ofSMERU's performance for NGOs, in mid2004, the unit conducted a survey on "TheSMERU Research Institute for NGOs inIndonesia". The results of the survey analysisare expected to be used to enhanceSMERU's internal performance and supportin NGO capacity building in Indonesia.

Future Direction of the NGOPartnership Unit

For the sake of working out a more optimalinteraction, SMERU is strongly committed toproviding discussion space for NGOs. In2005, the focus of discussion for NGOs willbe directed more towards new legislationsocialization activities. SMERU plans toorganize two socialization activities on thenew legislation relevant to NGO advocacyactivities, for example the Domestic ViolenceAct. Participation in NGO capacitystrengthening also will be undertakenthrough active support of the unit in plansfor the drafting of new legislation initiated byNGOs, for example, draft legislation onBudget Planning.

The NGO Partnership Unit will continue toincrease its role in disseminating information andSMERU's research findings via NGO mailinglists in Indonesia and by visiting NGOs.

Untuk memfasilitasi dan meningkatkan peranserta, kesadaran kritis dan kapasitas masyarakatsipil di wilayah Provinsi Nusa Tenggara Timur(NTT) dalam merumuskan rencana kebijakandan anggaran yang berpihak pada masyarakatmiskin, SMERU bekerja sama dengan KIKIS danPIAR menyelenggarakan lokakarya bagi Ornop,Pemda dan DPRD NTT dengan topik"Pengembangan Inisiatif Lokal untuk SistemPerencanaan dan Anggaran Publik Berdasarkan

StrategiPenanggulanganKemiskinanDaerah(SPKD)".Lokakarya inidiselenggarakanpada 14 -16Oktober 2004

di Kupang dan dihadiri oleh sekitar 50 pesertadari 6 kabupaten/kota di NTT dengan salahsatu pembicara utamanya Gubernur NTT,Bapak Piet A.Tallo, S.H.

Untuk mengkaji peranan dan dampak kinerjaSMERU bagi Ornop, pada pertengahan 2004Unit ini mengadakan survei mengenai "LembagaPenelitian SMERU Bagi Ornop di Indonesia".Temuan survei diharapkan dapat digunakanuntuk meningkatkan kinerja internal SMERU dandukungan SMERU dalam mengembangkankapasitas Ornop di Indonesia.

Rencana ke Depan Unit Kemitraandengan Ornop

Agar dapat menjalin interaksi yang lebihoptimal dengan Ornop, SMERU tiada henti-hentinya menyediakan ruang diskusi untukOrnop. Tahun depan, fokus diskusi bersamaOrnop akan lebih diarahkan pada kegiatansosialisasi UU baru. SMERU telah berencanamengadakan dua kegiatan sosialisasi UUbaru yang relevan dengan kegiatan advokasiOrnop, misalnya mengenai Undang-UndangPenghapusan Kekerasan Dalam RumahTangga. Partisipasi penguatan kapasitasOrnop juga dilakukan melalui dukunganaktif Unit ini dalam rencana pembuatan UUbaru yang diprakarsai oleh Ornop, misalnyaRencana Undang-Undang PerencanaanAnggaran Negara.

Unit Kemitraan dengan Ornop akan terusmeningkatkan perannya dalammenyebarkan informasi dan temuanpenelitian SMERU melalui milis-milis Ornopdi Indonesia dan mengunjungi Ornop.

SMERU'S IMPACT

S MERU marked the year 2004 with anumber of significant achievements thatstrengthen the image of SMERU as aprominent independent research institute.These achievements can be observed from anumber of perspectives including the totaloutput of research activities, the impact ofthose activities and the invitations and requestsfor cooperation in different fields like research,dialogue, seminars and workshops fromdifferent government institutions, the House ofthe Representatives (DPR-RI), private sector,NGOs, international organizations as well asacademics. These activities have had a positiveimpact on the dissemination of SMERU'sresearch findings that are expected to broadenpublic policy dialogue concerned with thewelfare of the Indonesian people as well as toincrease the involvement of civil society in theprocess of formulating and implementingpublic policy.

INVOLVEMENT WITH THE GENERALCOMMUNITY AND GOVERNMENTINSTITUTIONS

The commitment of SMERU on socio-economicproblems related to development issues in thegeneral community interest is reflected in theinvestigations undertaken by SMERU on, interalia, poverty, social security, education andhealth. By the end of 2004 SMERU hadalmost finished one of its biggest tasks,namely small area poverty mapping activitiesin 30 Indonesian provinces. It is expectedthat all the publication activities, socializationand workshops on poverty mapping will befinished early in 2005.

SMERU also has a role in completing thePoverty Reduction Strategy Paper (PRSP) asSMERU's direct contribution for the communityand government. In addition, SMERU's povertyreduction guidebook and CD-Rom containingbasic information on understanding poverty,efforts in poverty reduction and pro-poorbudget planning has received attention andpositive consideration from various parties.

In policy formulation, SMERU has also beenin the forefront. A number of work partnersasked SMERU to provide input on importantissues such as the fuel subsidy, socialprotection, labor and trade policies. Theinvolvement of SMERU in the "Virtual ThinkTank" network that covers economists andprominent experts in the development sectorwill certainly guarantee, and open, broaderopportunities for SMERU to disseminate itsresearch findings so as to have a positiveimpact for pro-poor public policy change.

SMERU menandai tahun 2004 denganberbagai pencapaian signifikan, baik ditinjaudari jumlah output kegiatan penelitianmaupun dampaknya. Pencapaian inimemperkokoh citra SMERU sebagai salahsatu lembaga penelitian independenterkemuka. Pencapaian ini dapat dilihat daribanyaknya permintaan kerja sama atau punundangan dari berbagai lembagapemerintah, DPR, swasta, Ornop, organisasiinternasional, maupun akademisi dalampelbagai kegiatan seperti penelitian, dialog,seminar dan lokakarya. Kegiatan-kegiatantersebut telah berdampak positif padapenyebarluasan temuan penelitian SMERUyang diharapkan dapat memperluas dialogkebijakan publik yang menyangkutkesejahteraan masyarakat Indonesia,sekaligus mampu meningkatkan keterlibatanmasyarakat sipil dalam proses perumusandan pelaksanaan kebijakan publik.

KETERLIBATAN DENGAN MASYARAKATUMUM DAN LEMBAGA PEMERINTAH

Komitmen SMERU terhadap persoalan sosialekonomi yang berkaitan dengan isupembangunan demi kepentingan masyarakatumum tercermin dari kajian-kajian yang

dilakukan SMERU, antara lain tentangkemiskinan, jaminan sosial, pendidikan dankesehatan. Pada akhir 2004 SMERU telahhampir menuntaskan salah satu tugasbesarnya, yaitu kegiatan pemetaankemiskinan wilayah kecil di 30 provinsiIndonesia. Diharapkan pada awal 2005seluruh kegiatan publikasi, sosialisasi danlokakarya mengenai pemetaan kemiskinanini akan selesai.

SMERU juga berperan serta dalampenyempurnaan dokumen StrategiPenanggulangan Kemiskinan (PRSP) sebagaikontribusi langsung SMERU bagi masyarakatdan pemerintah. Tidak hanya itu, bukupanduan dan CD-ROM "PenanggulanganKemiskinan" SMERU yang memuat informasidasar pemahaman tentang kemiskinan,upaya penanggulangan dan perencanaananggaran yang berpihak pada kaum miskin,telah mendapat perhatian dan tanggapanpositif dari berbagai pihak.

Dalam penyusunan kebijakan SMERU puntidak ketinggalan. Sejumlah mitra kerja telahmeminta input dari SMERU mengenai isu-isupenting seputar subsidi BBM, perlindungansosial, tenaga kerja, dan kebijakanperdagangan. Keterlibatan SMERU dalamjaringan "Virtual Think Tank" yangmelibatkan ekonom dan ahli terkemukadalam sektor pembangunan tentu akanmenjamin dan membuka kesempatan lebihluas bagi SMERU untuk menyebarluaskantemuan penelitiannya sehingga dapatberdampak positif bagi perubahankebijakan publik yang berpihak padakelompok miskin.

INVOLVEMENT WITH NGOs

Consistent with the new commitment ofSMERU's NGO Partnership Unit to take a moreactive role in disseminating SMERU's researchfindings and facilitating NGO empowermentefforts, the unit commenced its performance in2004 by assisting the capacity building of 20NGOs in 14 provinces in Indonesia via trainingin research methodology for NGOs. Thistraining was arranged cooperatively with theTifa Foundation on 24-27 May 2004. Theparticipants hope that the training can becontinued by undertaking research together.

SMERU's NGO Partnership Unit also continuesto strengthen partnerships and cooperativenetworks with NGOs both local as well asinternational via various seminar and workshopactivities. One of the activities is thearrangement of a workshop "LocalDevelopment Initiatives in the Planning Systemand Public Budget Based on the Concept ofLocal Poverty Reduction Strategies" in Kupang,NTT together with KIKIS and PIAR. Thisworkshop involved various elements fromgovernment, DPRD, the private sector andsocial institutions in NTT. In addition, the unit,together with SMERU library staff, also soundedout cooperation with Yayasan Bina MasyarakatSejahtera (YBMS) on efforts to increase thecapacity of NGOs in library management.

A survey on NGO's perceptions of SMERU inJuly-October 2004 found an interestingphenomenon to be proud of. The surveyresults show that the number of NGOs thataccess SMERU publications via the SMERUwebsite is greater than the number ofrecipients of SMERU publications. Thesignificance of certain topics like poverty,education and environment in SMERU'spublications has also received seriousattention in the NGO arena. It was alsomentioned that important columns in theSMERU newsletter like From the Field, FocusOn and And the Data Says as well as severalother relevant reports are often a source ofdata and program reference for those NGOs.

INVOLVEMENT WITH ACADEMICS

The recognition of SMERU in the academicworld is also not considered inconsequential.SMERU received recognition, invitations andrequests from several tertiary institutions,research institutions and prominent domesticscientific journals for the publication ofSMERU research reports or use in jointseminars. This proves the credibility of theSMERU Research Institute in academic circles.A book entitled "The Role of Governance inAsia", edited by Yasutami Shimomura andpublished by the Institute of Southeast AsianStudies (ISEAS) published an article written bySMERU's researchers, "Governance andPoverty Reduction Efforts: Evidence fromNewly Decentralized Indonesia."

In addition, SMERU was also invited tocontribute a paper on specific issues thatwill be published in the European Journal ofDevelopment Research in 2005.Meanwhile, the Research School of Pacificand Asian Studies at ANU gave specialrecognition to various SMERU publicationsby adding SMERU publications to their

KETERLIBATAN DENGAN ORNOP

Sesuai komitmen baru Unit Kemitraandengan Ornop SMERU, yakni lebih berperanaktif dalam menyebarluaskan temuanpenelitian SMERU dan memfasilitasi upayapemberdayaan Ornop, unit ini memulaikinerjanya pada tahun 2004 denganmemberikan penguatan kapasitas bagi 20Ornop dari 14 provinsi di Indonesia melaluipelatihan tentang metode penelitian bagiOrnop. Pelatihan ini diselenggarakan bekerjasama dengan Yayasan Tifa pada 24-27 Mei2004. Peserta berharap pelatihan ini dapatdilanjutkan dengan melakukan penelitianbersama.

Unit Kemitraan dengan Ornop SMERU jugaterus memperkuat kemitraan dan jaringankerja sama dengan lembaga-lembagaswadaya masyarakat baik lokal maupuninternasional melalui berbagai kegiatanlokakarya atau seminar. Salah satukegiatannya adalah penyelenggaraanlokakarya "Pengembangan Inisiatif Lokaldalam Sistem Perencanaan dan AnggaranPublik Berdasarkan Konsep StrategiPenanggulangan Kemiskinan Lokal" diKupang, NTT bersama KIKIS dan PIAR.Lokakarya ini melibatkan berbagai unsurpihak pemerintah, DPRD, swasta maupunlembaga sosial kemasyarakatan di NTT.Selain itu bersama dengan staf kepustakaanSMERU, unit ini juga menjajagi kerja samadengan Yayasan Bina Masyarakat Sejahtera(YBMS) untuk upaya peningkatan kapasistasOrnop dalam pengelolaan perpustakaan.

Survei mengenai persepsi Ornop tentangSMERU pada Juli-Oktober 2004 menandaisuatu fenomena menarik sekaligusmembanggakan. Hasil survei menunjukkanbahwa jumlah Ornop yang mengaksespublikasi SMERU melalui website SMERU

lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan jumlahpenerima langganan publikasi SMERU. Disamping itu, signifikansi topik-topik tertentuseperti kemiskinan, pendidikan danlingkungan hidup yang ada dalam publikasiSMERU juga mendapat perhatian serius dikalangan Ornop. Disebutkan pula bahwakolom penting dalam buletin SMERU sepertiFrom the Field, Focus On dan And the DataSays serta beberapa laporan-laporan lainyang relevan sering menjadi sumber data danreferensi program di lembaganya.

KETERLIBATAN DENGAN AKADEMISI

Kiprah SMERU dalam dunia akademis puntidak dapat dianggap enteng. SMERUmenerima pengakuan, undangan danpermintaan dari beberapa perguruan tinggi,lembaga penelitian, jurnal ilmiah terkemukadi luar negeri atas laporan penelitian SMERUuntuk dipublikasi atau diseminarkanbersama. Ini membuktikan kredibilitasLembaga Penelitian SMERU di kalanganakademisi. Sebuah buku berjudul "The Roleof Governance in Asia" yang disunting olehYasutami Shimomura dan dipublikasikan olehthe Institute of Southeast Asian Studies(ISEAS) memuat artikel peneliti SMERU, "TataPemerintahan dan Upaya PenanggulanganKemiskinan: Bukti-bukti Awal Desentralisasi diIndonesia."

Selain itu, SMERU juga diundang untukmemberikan kontribusi makalah yang akandimuat dalam European Journal of Develop-ment Research yang akan diterbitkan pada2005. Sementara Research School of Pacificand Asian Studies di ANU menaruhperhatian khusus pada berbagai publikasiSMERU dengan menghimpun publikasiSMERU di perpustakaannya. Demikian pulaDevelopment and Change, sebuah jurnaldari Institute of Social Studies(ISS), telah

library collection. Likewise “Developmentand Change”, a journal from the Institute ofSocial Studies (ISS), has also accepted aSMERU paper for publication. Domestically,SMERU's credibility is apparent from theincreasing interest and attention given toSMERU as a reference source for theses.

The interest and attention of academia inSMERU research output is also obviousfrom various report presentations and inmagazines. The presentation of the WorldBank's Development Research Group andAusAID magazine "Focus", for example,recently quoted from several SMERUreports on poverty. In addition, prestigiousrecognition also came from the Institutefor Development Policy and Management,University of Manchester that accepted aSMERU research paper on "AnInvestigation of the Impact of theIndonesian Social Safety Net Program onHousehold Welfare and Poverty Dynamics"for presentation at a conference that washeld at the University of Manchester,England in March 2005.

INVOLVEMENT WITH THE PRIVATESECTOR

Several private institutions, both domestic andforeign, among them The IndonesianEmployers' Association (APINDO), IndonesianChamber of Commerce and Industry(KADIN), Indonesia-Europe Association andIRM Inc. (an industrial research institute inJapan) have requested recommendations andinput as well as offering to cooperate withSMERU on several important issues like laborpolicy and labor market availability.

Several subsequent activities became firsthand evidence of the active participationand contribution of SMERU with the privatesector organizations mentioned above. Thepresentation on "The Impacts ofEmployment Policy on Labor MarketAvailability" by SMERU researchers in July2004, that was initiated by APINDO, wasaimed at providing input on the plan andsuggestion from the Ministry of Labor toapply a fair standard of living , includingthe determination of a regional minimumwage for laborers.

In August 2004, via a presentation paperentitled "The 2004 Indonesia HumanDevelopment Report: a Critical Analysis",SMERU provided input and its views on the"Indonesian Human Resources DevelopmentReport 2004" in discussion sponsored byThe European-Indonesian Association. InSeptember 2004, SMERU again had theconfidence of KADIN in providing input onthe policy direction in the economic fieldand government administration forpresidential candidates.

menerima sebuah makalah SMERU dalamsalah satu publikasinya. Di dalam negeri,kredibilitas SMERU tampak darimeningkatnya minat dan perhatian untukmerujuk SMERU sebagai sumber referensidalam penulisan thesis.

Minat dan perhatian akademisi padaberbagai hasil penelitian SMERU jugatampak dalam berbagai laporan presentasimaupun dalam majalah. Presentasi timWorld Bank's Development Research Groupdan majalah AusAID "Focus" baru-baru ini,misalnya, mengutip beberapa laporanSMERU tentang kemiskinan. Di samping itu,pengakuan yang cukup bergengsi jugadatang dari the Institute for DevelopmentPolicy and Management, University ofManchester yang mengangkat topikpenelitian SMERU tentang "Kajian DampakProgram Jaring Pengaman Sosial padaKesejahteraan Rumah Tangga dan DinamikaKemiskinan" dalam konferensi yang sudahdiselenggarakan pada Maret 2005 diUniversitas Manchester, Inggris.

KETERLIBATAN DENGAN PIHAKSWASTA

Beberapa lembaga swasta baik dalammaupun luar negeri, di antaranya AsosiasiPengusaha Indonesia (APINDO), KamarDagang Indonesia (KADIN), Asosiasi Indonesia- Eropa, dan IRM Inc (Lembaga PenelitianIndustri di Jepang) telah memintarekomendasi dan input serta menawarkankerja sama dengan SMERU untuk beberapaisu penting seperti kebijakan tenaga kerjadan ketersediaan pasar tenaga kerja.

Beberapa kegiatan berikut menjadi buktinyata partisipasi aktif dan kontribusi SMERUdengan pihak swasta tersebut di atas.Presentasi tentang "The Impacts of EmploymentPolicy on Labor Market Availability" olehpeneliti SMERU pada Juli 2004, yangdiprakarsai APINDO, bertujuan untukmemberikan masukan atas rencana danusulan dari Kementerian Tenaga Kerja untukmenerapkan standar Kebutuhan HidupLayak (KHL), termasuk penentuan upahminimum regional bagi buruh.

Pada Agustus 2004, melalui presentasimakalah berjudul "The 2004 IndonesiaHuman Development Report: A CriticalAnalysis", SMERU memberikan masukandan pandangannya tentang "LaporanPembangunan Sumber Daya ManusiaIndonesia 2004" dalam diskusi yangdisponsori oleh The European-IndonesianAssociation. Kemudian pada September2004, SMERU kembali menerimakepercayaan dari Kadin untuk memberikanmasukan mengenai arah kebijakan dalambidang ekonomi dan pengelolaanpemerintahan bagi kandidat presiden.

ACHIEVING CONFIDENCE INSUSTAINABILITY

SMERU continues to be recognized by itsstakeholders and development partners whohave shown full confidence in SMERU. In2004, SMERU received various requests fromdonor agencies and academic institutions toconduct several research studies and trainingprograms. This kind of collaboration certainlybroadens SMERU's network and will alsoassist with SMERU's future financialsustainability which is one of its main goals.The form of confidence received by SMERU isreflected in various mutual cooperation thathave been supported by donor institutionslike AusAID, the Ford Foundation, DFID andother institutions like the World Bank, GIAT-USAID and academic institutions.

By involving all the resources and research staff,SMERU continues to make breakthroughachievements, both in the field of assignments,cooperative partnerships and types ofcooperation. Apart from regular assignmentson poverty issues, labor, social prosperity andautonomy, several new fields have also become

the focus of SMERU's attention, for example, aproposed study on the potential impact of HIV/AIDS that was initiated by AusAID and a study"Moving Out of Poverty" that was initiated andfunded by the World Bank. The expansion ofthe partnership also continues; for example,SMERU together with the University of Aarhus,Denmark undertook a study on social capitalin Indonesia and has signed an agreementwith Hickling-Bearing Point to provideassistance for their poverty reduction strategyproject. Finally, a cooperative pilot project on aCommunity-based Monitoring System (CBMS)that is supported by The Poverty and EconomicPolicy (PEP) Network, Laval University, Canadawill be undertaken shortly.

The thrust of the model on sounding outcooperative working partnerships not onlybroadened to activities associated with researchbut also to active involvement in efforts atinstitutional empowerment through trainingactivities. The actualization of this breakthroughbecomes evident in the cooperation betweenSMERU and GIAT-USAID (Growth throughInvestment, Agriculture and Trade, USAID) toprovide intermediate level training on the StateBudget for the DPR-RI General Secretariat staffthat will commence in March 2005.

MERAIH KEPERCAYAAN DEMIKESINAMBUNGAN

SMERU terus menerus mendapat pengakuandari para pemangku kepentingan dan mitrakerjanya yang telah menaruh kepercayaanpenuh kepada SMERU. Pada tahun 2004,SMERU telah menerima beragam permintaandari lembaga donor dan lembaga akademisuntuk melakukan beberapa studi penelitiandan program pelatihan. Kolaborasi seperti initentu memperluas jaringan SMERU dan jugaakan membantu keberlanjutan SMERUsecara finansial di masa depan yangmerupakan salah satu tujuan utamanya.Bentuk kepercayaan yang diterima SMERUtercermin dalam berbagai bentuk kerja samayang telah digalang bersama khusus denganlembaga-lembaga donor seperti AusAID, FordFoundation, DFID, dan lembaga lain sepertiBank Dunia, GIAT-USAID, lembaga akademis.

Dengan melibatkan seluruh sumber dan stafpenelitinya, SMERU terus melakukanterobosan baru, baik dalam hal bidanggarapan, mitra kerja sama maupun modelkeikutsertaan SMERU. Selain bidang garapanyang lazim dikerjakan seperti isu kemiskinan,tenaga kerja, kesejahteraan sosial, danotonomi, beberapa bidang baru juga akanmenjadi perhatian SMERU, misalnya studitentang dampak potensial HIV/AIDS yangdiprakarsai AusAID, dan studi mengenai“Moving Out of Poverty” yang diprakarsaidan didanai oleh Bank Dunia. Perluasankemitraan juga terus ditingkatkan, misalnyaSMERU bersama Universitas Aarhus, Denmarkmelakukan studi tentang modal sosial diIndonesia, dan menandatangani persetujuandengan Hickling-Bearing Point untuk

menyediakan bantuan bagi proyeknyatentang strategi penanggulangan kemiskinan.Selain itu, kerja sama untuk Pilot Projectmengenai Sistem Pemantauan BerbasisKomunitas yang didukung The Poverty andEconomic Policy (PEP) Network, Laval Univer-sity, Canada akan segera dilakukan.

Terobosan model penjajagan kerja samadengan mitra lain juga diperluas tidak hanyadalam kegiatan bersama penelitian tapi jugasecara aktif terlibat dalam upaya

pemberdayaan kelembagaan melaluikegiatan pelatihan. Aktualisasi terobosan inimenjadi tampak dalam kerja sama SMERUdan GIAT-USAID Project (Growth throughInvestment, Agriculture and Trade, USAID)untuk memberikan pelatihan bagi stafSekretariat Jenderal DPR-RI mengenai APBNTingkat Lanjutan yang direncanakan akandiselenggarakan mulai Maret 2005.
