The TIFA Project

The TIFA Project: ‘Strengthening Community and Local Government Capacity in the Management of Natural Resources Revenue Sharing Funds (DBH-SDA) to Improve Minimum Service Standards (SPM) in North Barito Regency’ combined top-down and bottom-up approaches to engage partners and beneficiaries from villages and relevant government agencies in North Barito Regency. Capacity building activities were expected to contribute to increasing knowledge, attitudes, and skills in DBH-SDA governance in North Barito Regency. The initial studies on living conditions in the village were conducted through Community-Led Analysis and Planning (CLAP) activities to produce in-depth information about the real conditions in each target village, including mapping of natural resource potential, social and environmental impacts. In Hurung Enep and Beringin Raya village, North Barito, YTS conducted a CLAP with the village groups, followed by a “photovoice” showcase coupled with community-based advocacy training to address local environmental and social problems. The villagers were able to make use of the pictures and stories that they generated as an advocacy tool in meetings with government at village and district level. They also integrated the CLAP results into their RPJMDes (mid-term development planning) document.
