Indonesia: Assessing Gender Responsive Local Capacity Development
This study presents important research on the Indonesian experience of gender responsive capacity development at the local level. While sub-national governments in Indonesia are increasingly responsible for delivering a wide range of basic services to local communities, many lack the capacities to meet all the requirements of their roles and functions. This report makes clear why it is important to adopt a systematic approach to identifying, assessing and rectifying these capacity gaps in Indonesia. It also provides some important insights into the kinds of gender responsive capacity development programs that have been initiated in Indonesia as well assessing which of these have worked and why.
