Background
Established in 2007, Southwest Sumba
is one of the poorest districts in Eastern Indonesia with a population of
308.438 (2014 estimate), the highest compared to other districts on the island.
The Southwest Sumba district faces an increasing number of poor, which was at 30.6%
in 2017 according to Sumba Barat Daya Dalam Angka (2017). Southwest Sumba’s
economy depends on agriculture activities that continue to face challenges from
the local steppe climate (dry, semi-arid and little rain). The government of
Southwest Sumba also faces significant challenges in delivering basic services
in health and education and in providing access to infrastructure such as large-scale
public systems, services, and facilities required for the district to
facilitate commerce and other socio-economic activities.
In addressing these development challenges,
local civil society organizations and development practitioners work hand-in-hand
with local communities and the government. WLF has sought to understand the
strengths and weaknesses of these collaborations by conducting a needs
assessment with a primary focus on the capacity of local organizations and
development practitioners. Following the results of the needs assessment, WLF
sees a need for a capacity building program that will be open to development
actors (organization/ individual) in Southwest Sumba.
WLF is seeking an implementing partner
that has the technical skills and experience to deliver a capacity building
training program for local development actors in Southwest Sumba. WLF hopes
that the training program can strengthen the technical knowledge and skills of
local development actors and lay the foundation for a more robust collaboration
and partnership between civil society, community and the government in
Southwest Sumba.
