Indonesia’s Kecamatan Development Project (KDP) began in 1998 and is implemented through the Ministry of Home Affairs, Community Development Office (PMD). KDP aims to alleviate poverty and improve local governance. The Project provides block grants of approximately USD 56,000 to USD 111, 000 to sub-districts (kecamatan). Villagers engage in a participatory planning and decision-making process to allocate those resources for their self-defined development needs and priorities. KDP is one of the largest community development projects in Indonesia, implemented in 29 of Indonesia’s 32 provinces. Field reports state that local governments in several parts of the country have initiated KDP replication or ‘spin off’ projects funded through their own budgets. These projects purport to replicate KDP to varying degrees. The main goal of this study is to examine in greater depth ten KDP replication schemes and to assess the extent to which they adopt certain principles and programmatic features of KDP. This study is important as an initial step to gain insight into how KDP’s principles and procedures may be influencing other government development projects especially in the areas of improved governance, community capacity building, and service delivery.Date

Rural Finance in Nigeria : Integrating New ApproachesWorld Bank (Washington, DC, 2012-06-14)The rural space is home to 53 percent of
 Nigeria's population and more than 70 percent of its
 poor. While it is well understood in Nigeria that financial
 exclusion of the rural population stunts development, still
 fewer than 2 percent of rural households have access to any
 sort of institutional finance. Access to financial services
 is a key ingredient to rural development: it increases
 incomes through productive investment, helps create
 employment opportunities, facilitates investments in health
 and education, and reduces the vulnerability of the poor by
 helping them to smooth their income patterns over time. A
 lack of rural access to financial services not only retards
 rural economic growth, but also increases poverty and
 inequality. While Nigeria's own long history with
 rural finance shows a clear appreciation for the importance
 of rural access, the persistent absence of sustainable
 access yields important lessons for the future.

Collective Action and Community Development : Evidence from Self-Help Groups in Rural IndiaDesai, Raj M.; Joshi, Shareen (World Bank, Washington, DC, 2013-09-27)In response to the problems of high
 coordination costs among the poor, efforts are underway in
 many countries to organize the poor through "self-help
 groups" (SHGs) -- membership-based organizations that
 aim to promote social cohesion through a mixture of
 education, access to finance, and linkages to wider
 development programs. The authors randomly selected 32 of 80
 villages in one of the poorest districts in rural India in
 which to establish SHGs for women. Two years of exposure to
 these programs increased women's participation in group
 savings programs as well as the non-agricultural labor
 force. Compared to women in control villages, treated women
 were also more likely to participate in household decisions
 and engage in civic activities. The authors find no evidence
 however, that participation increased income or had a
 disproportionate impact by women's socio-economic
 status. These results are important in light of the recent
 effort to expand official support to SHGs under the National
 Rural Livelihood Mission.

The Household Enterprise Sector in Tanzania : Why It Matters and Who CaresFox, Louise; Kweka, Josaphat (2012-03-19)The household enterprise sector has a significant role in the Tanzanian economy. It employs a larger share of the urban labor force than wage employment, and is increasingly seen as an alternative to agriculture as a source of additional income for rural and urban households. The sector is uniquely placed within the informal sector, where it represents both conditions of informal employment and informal enterprise. This paper presents a case study on Tanzania using a mixed approach by combining both quantitative and qualitative analysis to examine the important role of household enterprises in the labor force of Tanzania, and to identify key factors that influence their productivity. Household enterprise owners are similar to typical labor force participants although primary education appears to be the minimum qualification for household enterprise operators to be successful. Access to location matters -- good, secure location in a marketplace or industrial cluster raises earnings - and access to transport and electricity is found to have a significant effect on earnings as well. In large urban areas, the biggest constraint faced by household enterprises is the lack of access to secure workspace to run the small business. Although lack of credit is a problem across all enterprises in Tanzania, household enterprises are more vulnerable because they are largely left out of the financial sector either as savers or borrowers. Although HEs are part of the livelihood strategies of over half of households in Tanzania, they are ignored in the current development policy frameworks, which emphasize formalization, not productivity. Tanzania has a large number of programs and projects for informal enterprises, but there is no set of policies and program interventions targeted at the household enterprise sector. This gap exacerbates the vulnerability of household enterprises, and reduces their productivity.
