Jun 22, 2023

The USAID MADANI-supported civil society coalition, Koalisi Masyarakat Sipil Banten (the Banten Civil Society Coalition, KMSB), successfully advocated for the inclusion of their recommendations on village development governance into the 2023 Banten Technical Guidelines for Village Governments, issued on May 20, 2023 by the Banten Village Community Empowerment Agency.

KMSB’s recommendations entail enhancing digital data management, supporting women and child-friendly village development, and improving community waste management. The provincial government is allocating IDR 60 million (US$4,000) to each of Banten’ 1,238 villages to fund these initiatives.
