Overview

PNPM Generasi is an innovative pilot program launched by the Government of Indonesia in July 2007 designed to accelerate achievement of three Millennium Development Goals: universal basic education, reduction in child mortality, and improvement in maternal health. PNPM Generasi is short for PNPM Generasi Sehat dan Cerdas, which means “A Healthy and Bright Generation.”

Villages participating in PNPM Generasi commit to improving twelve basic health and education indicators (see below) through the use of annual block grants averaging USD 8,400 per village. Trained facilitators assist villagers in a participatory planning process, helping them identify problems and create local solutions. Flexible targeting and locally appropriate interventions are possible owing to PNPM Generasi’s decentralized and participatory design.

PNPM Generasi is in 1,625 villages across five provinces: East Java, West Java, Gorontalo, North Sulawesi and Nusa Tengara Timur (NTT). In 2008, the Government is committed to expanding PNPM Generasi from 129 to 178 sub-districts in the same five provinces.

PNPM Generasi is part of the Government’s flagship poverty alleviation program, Program Nasional Pemberdayaan Masyarakat (PNPM) or the National Program for Community Empowerment. PNPM Generasi builds on the extensive project infrastructure of the Kecamatan Development Project (KDP). The Ministry of Home Affairs implements PNPM in rural areas with an overall government coordination team (Tim Penggendali) providing policy oversight. PNPM Generasi is supported by the Government of Indonesia, the World Bank, and the Embassy of the Royal Netherlands.
