Developing the Desa Siaga Program in NTB Province: evaluation of the Desa Siap Antar Jaga (DSAJ) Program in villages supported by GTZ SISKES

In an attempt to evaluate the achievements and effectiveness of the community empowerment process supported by GTZ SISKES during 2006-2009 to develop Community Alert Villages, the University of Mataram was contracted to do a survey during April-June 2009. Of three evaluations designed for the Desa Siap Antar Jaga (DSAJ) effort, two were combined in this study: 1) to assess DSAJ by input, output, and outcome/impact indicators as well as by the DAC criteria; and 2) to assess the DSAJ program from the Paris Declaration perspectives of ownership, alignment, and harmonization.
