The Kecamatan Development Program (KDP) is a national Government of Indonesia program, implemented by the Ministry of Home Affairs, Community Development Office aimed at alleviating poverty, strengthening local government and community institutions, and improving local governance. KDP began in 1998 at a time of tremendous political upheaval and financial crisis. Currently, KDP is in its third phase, and is expected to run until 2009. The program is funded through government budget allocations, donor grants, and loans from the World Bank. It provides block grants of approximately Rp. 500 million to 1.5 billion (approximately US$50,000 to US$150,000) to sub-districts (kecamatan) depending upon population size. Villagers engage in a participatory planning and decision-making process to allocate those resources for their self-defined development needs and priorities. KDP focuses on Indonesia’s poorest rural communities. Back to top Key Principles Participation/Inclusion. Community participation is emphasized, especially among the poor and women. Participation should be broad-based, through local decision-making by all villagers.
 Transparency. KDP emphasizes transparency and information-sharing throughout the project cycle. Decision-making and financial management should be open and shared with the community.
 Open Menu. Villagers can propose any activity, except for ones on a negative list.
 Competition for Funds. There should be open, healthy competition between villages for KDP funds.
 Decentralized. Decision-making and management occurs at the local level.
Simple. No complex rules, just simple strategies and methods.
Â
All KDP activities aim at allowing villagers to make their own choices about the kinds of projects that they need and want.
