BACKGROUND OF THE PROJECT AND ASSIGNMENT

The ENVISION project is an EU-funded project that is focused on enhancing the capacity of Indonesian civil society to contribute to the governance and development process in Indonesia with respect to human rights and democratic principles to contribute to the attainment of Sustainable Development Goals.

To improve BUMDes' performance, ENVISION encourages CSOs, local governments, and communities to participate in productive and constructive dialogue. This program aims to strengthen Indonesian CSO capacities and provide a supportive environment for them to confront issues of poverty and inequality, particularly in the social and economic sectors. Local control over sustainable governance will be ensured by strengthening already-existing local bodies (CSOs and BUMDes).

By increasing CSOs' capacity to influence and support BUMDes as a public decision-making process, the Action aimed to contribute to realizing the EU Roadmap for Engagement with Civil Society in Indonesia. ENVISION sought to give women and young people more of a voice so they may participate more actively in the development and implementation of social, economic, and environmental policies. The project kept the promise "to leave no one behind" in reaching the 2030SDGs by focusing on women and youth, two groups that are often excluded from decision-making processes. To attain social, economic, and environmental advantages for all citizens, SDG 17 asks for collaboration throughout society. This aim is to "strengthen the mechanisms of implementation and revive the global partnership for sustainable development."

The project strengthens the enabling environment for CSOs, BUMDes, local authorities, and citizens to encourage inclusive development and accountability of services at the village level. It makes use of CSOs, local governments, and the citizens themselves as interconnected stakeholders to deliver sustainable development. The project’s main objective is to enhance the capacity of Indonesian civil society to contribute to the governance and development process in Indonesia with respect to human rights and democratic principles to contribute to the attainment of Sustainable Development Goals. In addition to that, the project serves two specific goals:

1. CSOs in East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) province, including women’s and youth groups, are empowered to contribute to the effective governance and management of BUMDes;
2. A strengthened enabling environment of local authorities in NTT to implement and monitor BUMDes policy and Village Funds.
