1 Identification of Energy Needs Assessment for Pro-poor Community A Lesson Learned from WP2 CAREPI program Technical Working Group (TWG) V Meeting Hotel Sultan, Jakarta December 03rd 2009 Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta WP2 CAREPI IMPLEMENTATION TARGET: IDENTIFICATION OF ENERGY-RELATED NEEDS AND PRIORITIES OF POOR COMMUNITIES, KECAMATAN KARANGMOJO, YOGYAKARTA

2 Methodology Why used PRA? Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) methods are now well developed in relation to needs and policy assessment. Base on PRA strategy, the communities can develop the self-assessment system and build the simple mechanism for evaluating their energy needs. The mechanism provides the communities which are able to develop some alternative local energy potentials in adjacent their village. PRA can be one of tools to provide the community for running sustainable development particularly in this energy program.

3 HOUSEHOLD To get a better insight in current energy related problems. To calculate the energy need and its consumption (cost) for energy. To evaluate the energy priorities for households. To formulate the available energy potentials surrounding their village(s). LOCAL ENTREPRENEURS To get a better insight in current energy related problems. To calculate the energy need and its consumption (cost) for energy. To formulate the energy potentials surrounding their village(s). To evaluate the priority of energy use in ranking according to the urgency of a problem for local entrepreneurs. To identify possible economic activities (development) that can be operated if the new energy have been supplied to the sites. An overview of existing data/study/research/policy in relationship with pro-poor Local Economic Development (LED) This stage is a pre-survey which was conducted in order to gather information for choosing some alternative locations for needs assessment work programme. The intensive discussions with regional energy office of Dinas Pertambangan Kabupaten Gunungkidul and BPS (Biro Pusat Statistik, Statistical Centre Bureau) of Kabupaten Gunungkidul were carried out. The outcome of this discussion is to give the global description regarding to view of region, economical aspect and current energy policies/programmes which have been implemented in the region/kabupaten.

4 Survey on Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) for Initial Data Collection The survey was employed by visiting the local stakeholder, regional office (Dinas) of energy and the local entrepreneur for gathering the information related to the real situation of cultural and social condition of community. The information were collected during the survey (semi-structured interview) based on the following issues for set of guideline questions. Average daily or monthly income of rural communities in Kecamatan Karangmojo, Form of energy which is currently used for domestic activities, community services and local entrepreneur in Kecamatan Karangmojo, Renewable energy potentials and sources are available locally inkecamatan Karangmojo, The lifestyle, community social characteristics and cultural background in Kecamatan Karangmojo (in order to implement the PRA activities successfully), Outcomes from 1 st Workshop Semi-structured interview and focus group discussion are methods of qualitative participatory research method which was used in the PRA approach for energy needs assessment. The main issues delivered in this activity was: (1) current energy consumption, (2) energy related needs and problems; and (3) energy priorities in rural community of Kecamatan Karangmojo. Based on these issues, some short-presentations for the workshop were written and a set of guideline questions were designed for the semi-structured interview activities. Thus, FDG materials were also designed for group discussion in the programme.

5 Outcomes from 2 nd Workshop The main issues discussed in this activity was: energy priorities and programs for community and business opportunities in the village: summary from the PRA and 1st workshop; formulation on regional energy policy on selected community and local entrepreneurs in Karangmojo. propose several alternative energy programmes. Description of Selected Area Karangmojo capital city is Gedangrejo. Karangmojo

Improving an applied research and development of energy alternative. FINANCING SCHEME FOR THE PROPOSED PROGRAMMES These schemes involve all financial stakeholders, i.e. Banking, Micro Finance Institution, Usaha Kecil dan Menengah (UKM), Cooperation and Regional Energy Office, as follows: 1) Subsidies Scheme 2) Credit Scheme 3) Combination of Various Funding Resources

17 Proposed Strategies for CASINDO TWG V in Yogyakarta Region The program will be in-line with community economic development program. PRA approach will be used in collaboration with government officer & student community services for assisting and empowering the community. Three techniques will be implemented in PRA, i.e. in-depth direct interview, focus group discussion and community based activities. Several workshops between community, local entrepreneurs, regional government offices, universities and (micro) financial institutions will be conducted for connecting the energy problems, potential, policy and program implementation.

18 Next Stages Evaluation the existing data of poor community and potential energy sources nearby. Identify the new alternative locations for CASINDO. Depth-discussion with Dinas related the programmes. ENERGY FOR PROVERTY ALLEVIATION
