One of the factors inhibiting village self-help is the lack of human resources available in the village, especially those with the required technical skills. For example, the average village has invested in village-owned enterprises (BUM Desa). However, there is no clear financial accountability mechanism, consequently much of the village capital included is unclear. Even though BUM Desa should be one of the pillars of village self-help.
To contribute to overcoming the problem of limited human resources in the village, IDRAP develops and organizes various types of training according to village needs. The following are some of the types of training available in IDRAP (based on the needs of the partner villages): |

Technical Training: Assistance in Drafting the Annual Village Working Plan (RKP Desa)
The regular preparation of annual Village Development Plan (RKP Desa) is carried out by IDRAP to prepare for the annual cycle in the village regarding the development planning. The participants are villages with partnership status at the "governance" level. The participation quota per village takes into account the commitment of the participating villages in carrying out the RTL (Plan of Action) or "Use of Output" in the concept of "chain of effect" (effect chain). The topics were trained (practiced) included: [1] Observation review of Village Mid-Term Development Plan (RPJM Desa) & Minutes of community deliberation (Musdes); [2] Mapping priority scale of activities resulting from community deliberation; [3] Preparation of Village Indicative Ceilings Budget; [4] Preparation of Activity Technical Proposals; [5] Preparation of Budget Plans (RAB); [6] Working simulation of the Drafting Team and the Verification Team [8] Simulation Musrenbangdes.
Technical Training on Preparation of BUM Desa Financial Reports
This training is designed by using data from each BUM Desa (Village-Owned Enterprise), as a finished financial report is the target to be achieved on the last day (day 5). Therefore, the data availability is a prerequisite for participating in this training. Topics were trained (practiced) included: [1] Basic understanding of BUM Desa Financial Reports; [2] Mapping the BUM Desa financial, flow and procedures; [3] Introduction of CTK (Financial Transaction Records) as an alternative to recording BUM Desa finances; [4] Practicing CTK training for service basis businesses; [5] Practicing CTK for trading basis businesses; [6] Practicing CTK for production basis businesses; [7] Preparation of BUM Desa Financial Reports (Balance Sheet, Income Statement, Statement of Changes in Equity, Cash Flow Statement);
Awareness Campaign on Money Politics and Basic Human Rights
As a part of contribution in promotion of democracy and establishment of good governance in North Buton District, IDRAP in cooperation with EED Germany had implemented a project of "Awareness Campaign on Money Politics and Basic Human Rights, from December 2009 till November 2010. The project was to teach and awareness of local people on the danger of money politics (vote buying) to the fulfillment of their basic human rights. The main idea is to inform people particularly those who have right to vote that the elected government by money politics tends to be corrupt, and corruption violates human rights. Corruption is a major cause of poverty. The project activities undertaken were: distribution of campaign media (such as billboard, banner, callendar, sticker, booklet, etc.); human rights education for students; and public meeting for villagers. Because of unhapiness from local authority and local politicians, public meeting activity was only carried out in 10 villages of 20 targeted villages.
Awareness Campaign on Political Right of Kulisusu People
North Buton is an autonomous district, but nearly all members of district parliament (DPRD) are from other district (Muna District). This means North Buton people have no self-determination and self-governance on their own territory. A pilot project on increasing local people awareness to promote chance of people from North Buton (Kulisusu People, one of the indigenous ethnics in North Buton) to take control in parliament of North Buton had been implemented in cooperation with NCIV Netherlands. The project lasted from June 2008 till May 2009 carried out activities e.g. village forum, awareness campaign through written media and door-to-door discussion; and voter education. The project was implemented in 9 villages of North Kulisusu Sub-district.
Capacity Building for Staffs of Indigenous Based Organizations
There are many indigenous-based organization in South East Sulawesi. They are commonly established as informal association to mediate member's interest particularly in the aspect of ethnic relationship. IDRAP considers them as a great asset in development of rural and indigenous people in South East Sulawesi. To this end, building the capacity of staffs of those organization is extremely essential. This is the main reson of implementing a project of "Capacity Building for Staffs of Indigenous Based Organizations" from November 2004 till October 2005, in cooperation with ICCO Netherlands. Through this project, 80 indigenous students from various indigenous ethnics in South East Sulawesi were involved and actively participated in the project.
Human Rights Training for Kulisusu People
This project had been implemented from May 2004 till October 2004, in cooperation with UNHCHR Switzerland. As targeted, 20 people from Kulisusu were involved and participated in the project. The project was designed to improve the participant's capacity by: improving their knowledge on human rights in general and indigenous people's rights in particular; having adequate skill in identifying issues in the field of human rights; and having capacity in developing formal communication/complaint to any procedures/mechanisms including Procedure 1503. There were four main project activities conducted, namely: training; field visit; organization visit; and conference on Kulisusu issues.
Human Rights Education for Indigenous Students in South East Sulawesi
The rights of indigenous people as set up in the UN Declaration on the Right of Indigenous People are not yet recognized by the government. Many indigenous lands have been annexed into the government-sponsored projects without prior consent from indigenous communities and taken over without compensation or restitution. It is essential to inform and teach indigenous students that they have full rights on their territory. To this end, a project of "Human Rights Education for Indigenous Students in South East Sulawesi" had been been implemented from March 2004 till February 2005 in cooperation with NCIV Netherlands. Through this project, 30 indigenous students from various indigenous ethnics in South East Sulawesi were involved and actively participated in the project activities i.e. course on indigenous right, field visit, organization visit, and workshop on indigenous issues and the youth.
