| UNESCO | Creating Learning Communities for Children (CLCC)
Objective: Creating Learning Communities for Children (CLCC) is a joint programme of the Government of Indonesia, UNESCO and UNICEF to improve the quality of primary schools through the introduction of more effective school-based management (SBM), active, joyful and effective learning (AJEL – student centred learning), and community participation (CP). UNESCO is responsible for substantive national-level support activities, such as developing training and learning materials, as well as training activities. UNICEF is responsible for sub-national level activities at provincial, district and school-levels. All of the activities are jointly undertaken with the Directorate of Kindergarten and Primary School Education (of the Directorate-General of Primary and Secondary School Management of the Ministry of National Education [MoNE]) and Education offices at sub-national levels. The programme is now operating in 6 provinces in 15 districts with NZAID funding (covering more than 300 primary schools), and in 12 provinces and 42 districts with funding from other sources.
The programme has been implemented in two phases – Phase One (1999 - March 2007) and Phase Two (April 2007 - 2009). UNESCO obtained funding from NZAID in 2002 and from AusAID in 2004. UNICEF has sourced additional funding for expansion into further districts. UNESCO has provided funding to introduce MBS into madrasah schools in three provinces. Due to the success and wide-spread use of the CLCC model in Primary School Improvement, NZAID has agreed to fund a second phase (Phase Two) of the CLCC programme for three additional years. Phase Two aims to consolidate and develop capacity for demonstrable models of good education practices at the primary level, and to encourage and support provinces and districts to commit to the transition of institutionalization and sustainability of CLCC (MBS).
This programme has been immensely successful and is one UNESCO's highest profile activity in Indonesia. The model of the programme and its activities are gradually mainstreamed and institutionalized by district and provincial Education Offices and by central MoNE. It has also been implemented and adapted by similar education improvement projects funded by other large donors. Replicability and sustainability, even after the programme is over, are ensured through the programme’s implementation within the MoNE system and mechanism, its affordability, and its holistic intervention.

| 8,612,000 US$ | 1999 | 2010 | | UNESCO | Empowering Marginalized Groups through Provision of Vocational Skills and Life Skills to Address Poverty Reduction
Objective: The problem of unskilled marginalized groups in many rural areas and periphery of urban areas is widespread and severe. The marginalized groups, most commonly comprising of women in rural areas, are unschooled and unable to access information and resources needed for development. Policies are frequently not gender-responsive in terms of resource allocation, political will, and national commitment to capacity building. Economic obstacles hamper gender equal recognition of the right to education. To help these excluded groups out of poverty is a matter of increasing their capacity for self-development through increasing their education and training to be able to attain better livelihoods. Thus since April 2002 the “Scientific, Technical and Vocational Education for Out-of-School Girls: Schools and Learning Centres as Community Catalysts for Poverty Reduction and Empowerment of Girls” programme has been implemented in Lombok (West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia). Following this project, gender-sensitive technical and vocational education and training will continually be provided due to its significant role in the process of alleviating poverty through equipping excluded, poor and marginalized groups with knowledge and skills to raise their output and generate income in order to sustainably improve their well being. In order to more effectively provide quality vocational education and training, synergy between formal and non-formal education providers will be strengthened to efficiently benefit from sharing of physical and human resources, as well as established networks. Institutional capacity building will be provided to the education providers to enable them to provide quality gender-responsive vocational education and life skills education for marginalized groups in an equitable and sustainable manner.

| | 2006 | 2007 | | UNESCO | Establishing Community Multimedia Centre (CMC) in Central Java
Objective: To connect a community to information sources and facilitate them to create their own media is the aim of the CMC establishment. Radio Rona in Kendal and Radio Pragola in Pati have been developed into a CMC. They offer a combination of free or subsidised services such as access to computer training, internet, scanning, and radio messages. Both of them are members of Local Radio Network for Democracy (LRND) which was established in 1999 under UNESCO/DANIDA project and were chosen as new sites of CMC projects in Indonesia since last year. UNESCO’s programmes to establish CMC in Indonesia started in 2002 in Lubuk Pakam, North Sumatera and in Sekadau-Sanggau, West Kalimantan. For the former location, it involves Radio Tuah Suara Murni, while for the later it is Radio Suara Dermaga Ria which acts as the communication channels for the communities. Both radio stations have already existed before the CMC project started, but with the establishment of the CMC the radio stations have been further developed to play a wider role as an important tool for communities in accessing communication and information. Since the establishment of the CMC in the two sites, each community living in the areas has wider access for communication and information that they need for their everyday, especially through an activity known as “Radio Browsing”, during which radio stations broadcast Internet contents based on listeners’ requests. There are three aspects of CMC implementation that are supported by UNESCO, i.e.: equipment, building, personnel and operational cost.
