2007
Syamsuddin | Neldysavrino | Komarudin, H. | Siagian, Y.
The brief describes development planning consultations, locally known as musrenbang, conducted in stages through different levels of governance: village, sub-district and district. The brief then documents lessons from experience catalyzing collective action among local community goups (in particular women s groups) to engage in this development process and to help articulate the women s aspirations in such a way that they could be heard by district decision makers. While some progress was made, such as women s improved presence in different forums and their capacity to speak and propose distinct proposals for development, some challenges such as elite capture remain.
