Abstract


Since January 2012, Malinau Regency Government has been implementing a development concept based on people participation, namely Program of Village Self-Sufficiency Development Movement (Gerdema). The purpose of this research is to describe the management of the participation of stakeholders such as regional government, village governments and communities in planning Gerdema. This research was a qualitative research in two villages. The result of the research shows that regional government’s participation in village musrenbang (forum of development planning) is the presence of a representative of SKPD (regional working units) in order to absorb the results of village musrenbang and present a picture of the activities that SKPD is going to do in the current year. The planning done by the village government of Respen Tubu and Malinau Seberang normatively faces contraints such as time, place and proposed activities. Some of these constraints are then followed up by the village government of Respen Tubu by implementing pre-musrenbang at RT level. Such thing has caused the village communities to be very enthusiastic about participating in the planning process because of time flexibility, a representative place, and a better representation of the proposals.

Keywords: Participation, Empowerment, Gerdema.
