description:

- The employment-intensive component of the project (Output 2.3: specific local economic development initiatives undertaken, one involving the promotion of employment intensive infrastructure investments) is only partially realised. The project harnessed the potential of local social practices whereby villagers mutualise their resources, usually their time, to carry out infrastructure improvements. This practice, called Gotong Royong, has long existed in Indonesia and the action of JOY improved the quality of the work undertaken by providing technical training to the group leaders, but did not really contribute to creating employment. In addition, this practice is only youth-friendly because of the demographic profile of the population. The evaluators took part in one such training session. The group of around 40-50 people was indeed largely constituted of young persons, but only one woman was present.
