Abstract
The program is implemented by RTI International in collaboration with various partners, including the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). LGSP provides support to both the government and the local council (DPRD) to enhance their capacity in implementing good governance practices. The program focuses on improving the capacity of DPRD members to perform their legislative, budgeting, monitoring, and representation functions. This is achieved through a series of training sessions and workshops that cover topics such as leadership, democracy, and public service oversight. The training materials are designed to be a reference guide for improving the capacity of DPRD members. LGSP operates in over 60 districts and cities across nine provinces in Indonesia, including Aceh, Sumatera Utara, Sumatera Barat, Banten, Jawa Barat, Jawa Tengah, Jawa Timur, Sulawesi Selatan, and Papua Barat. The program is implemented from March 1, 2005, to September 30, 2009. The manual "Membuat Wakil Rakyat Semakin Bermartabat" is a guide for improving the capacity of DPRD members. The manual is divided into eight sessions, each covering a specific topic related to the role and function of DPRD members. The sessions include orientation and building a conducive atmosphere, building a personal image, leadership in local governance, democracy and good governance, legislative processes, budgeting and planning, public service oversight, and accountability mechanisms. The manual provides a comprehensive framework for improving the capacity of DPRD members to perform their functions effectively. It covers topics such as building a personal image, leadership, democracy, and public service oversight, as well as legislative processes, budgeting and planning, and accountability mechanisms. The manual is designed to be a reference guide for improving the capacity of DPRD members and is intended to support the implementation of good governance practices in Indonesia. LGSP's goal is to support the development of local governance in Indonesia by improving the capacity of DPRD members to perform their functions effectively. The program aims to enhance the capacity of DPRD members to make informed decisions, provide effective representation, and ensure accountability in the implementation of local governance practices. By improving the capacity of DPRD members, LGSP aims to contribute to the development of good governance practices in Indonesia and support the country's efforts to achieve sustainable development.
