Village Development Forum, 23-25 August 2017
Poverty remains global phenomena among countries in the Asia Pacific regions
although the economic growth of these areas is considered high in the last decades.
More than 550 millions-people are under the line of poverty rate, individual income 1.25
$ US/day, and most of them, around 76 % are living in rural areas.
Agriculture sector in rural areas grows significantly in the last decades. The growth rate
of GDP increases from 3.4 in 1980 to 3.8 in 2000. However, the increasing growth of
agriculture products is not equivalent with the contribution of agriculture sector to the
increase of GDP of each country. Indonesia has similar experience with other countries
of the Asia-Pacific regions. 3 out 5 Indonesian people live in the rural areas. It indicates
that agriculture is the main sector of livelihood. However in 2014, 13,8 % of villagers are
categorized as poor. The government of Indonesia understands that poverty alleviation
in village and rural areas is not only through the development of agriculture sector, but it
has to empower village and rural areas themselves.
Since the enactment of State Law No. 6/2014 on Village, the state of Indonesia gives
more effort in placing village and rural areas as the foci of national development. This
law reflects the paradigmatic change of Indonesia’s national development that has long
neglected the role of village and rural areas as important players in the role of national
development. It is also concomitant to the vision of Jokowi’s nine priority programs
(nawa cita) stating about “developing country from periphery (Indonesian; membangun
dari pinggiran). It means that to foster nation is not necessarily starting from central
areas, but from peripheral ones for the sake of national integration. The formalization of
this vision into state law bears an impression that the state of Indonesia has changed its
centralistic development policy and this is an obvious sign that indicates the state
inclination to village and rural areas. In this regard, the Ministry of Village has a strategic
and undeniable role to play due to its main portfolio as the state agency in the whole
actions of village and rural area development. With this state law on village, the state of
Indonesia actually provides not only capital and fund, but also more space for village
and rural areas to exercise their power and authority in creating innovation
development.
Historically speaking, village and rural area has had special place in the history of
nation-state building of Indonesia. Village and rural areas have been considered as the
main factors of national development especially because of agricultural characteristics
of this country. With the enactment of the State Law No. 6/2014, village and rural areas
meet a momentum to develop, elevate and progress towards its ideals. Why village
should have be in well-developed situation because village is a mini-state. All we have
at the level of state are actually found in our village in the term of diversity and plurality.
When the level of prosperity and social justice is met in our village and areas, it will
automatically reflect to the level of national. Villages are the foundation of state. This is
meaning of Jokowi’s vision on “the national development from periphery.”
Most importantly, with the State Law No. 6/2014, villages have specific fund that can be
used for improvement and development of their village and rural areas to achieve
prosperity and social justice. The availability of village fund is seen by the state as a
way of elevating village and rural areas from poverty to welfare. This fund can be used
as the method of leveling development, strengthening capacity of village and its people.
However, on one hand, the availability of village fund can be seen as opportunity, but on
the other hand, it is also kind of threat. It becomes opportunity to boost the economy of
village, but it can also trap villagers into the misuse of fund that can bring them in
corruption. The high stimulus of state policy for the village and rural development will
not be effective and successful in boosting the reaching of social, welfare and justice in
the life of village people when its process and effort in developing village and rural areas
including the use of village fund is not transparent and accountable.
The more focus of village and rural areas development is actually not only Indonesia,
but also global phenomena among countries across the world. Therefore, the policy of
the Indonesia government that inclines to this trend can be said as the strong
commitment of Indonesia government in advancing global justice and prosperity. By
improving our villages and rural areas, we contribute significant part of realizing global
justice and welfare. Through this international symposium and parallel workshop, it is
highly expected that the initiative of government of Indonesia in the development of
village and rural areas can become part of international discourse and resonance.
Some questions that relate to the implementation of village and rural areas development
that become our inspiration for the international symposium and parallel workshop are
identified as follow: (1) How far village and rural development has been able to drive
village to become self-sufficient, prosperous and just village? (2) In what kind of
innovations, creativity and civility have the village people achieved as the impact of their
village and rural areas development project? (3) To what extent village and rural areas
development could alleviate poverty and create livelihood, job opportunity as well as
social justice? If not, why and what are their challenges? (4) How can the principles of
accountability and transparency be implemented in the village and rural development?
(5) In what ways lesson learnt from different experiences of different countries can be
used for boosting the development of village and rural areas in Indonesia?
2. Objectives
The Village Development Forum(VDF) is aimed at:
To collect ideas, knowledge, best practices and experiences that relate to village
and rural area development and the use of village fund in more effective,
innovative, democratic and transparent way.
To identify challenges, opportunities and as well potentials for the implementation
of village and rural area development.
To learn from the best practices and experience of village and rural area
development from different regions and countries in the world for the sake of
social welfare and justice for villages.
To establish the development of village and rural area in Indonesia to have more
resonance in regional and international discourse of village and rural
development.
To formulate recommendation useful for government in implementing rural and
