1. Community Action Planning: Mobilizing People to Plan for Development and Reconstruction

Community participation in development planning can be an effective tool to ensure that programmes implemented can best help resolve the problems and fulfill the needs of the community. The CAP guidelines contain a general description of, and the measures taken to prepare a housing development action plan which involves the community, placing them in position as one of the main actors. These measures include a reflection by the community on their current conditions, identifying and determining the priority of community problems, alternative and priority solutions, and an approved action plan for project implementation and monitoring. This guide draws on field experience in participatory housing development planning as carried out by UN-HABITAT Banda Aceh, in the framework of restoring the conditions of communities affected by the earthquake and tsunami in NAD and Nias in 2004 and 2005.

3. Let People Speak

Having various forms of community participation in the development activity management phase is a target that must be achieved by the participatory development approach, including in the monitoring and evaluation activities. These guidelines provide a general description and the implementation phases of participatory monitoring and evaluation. They will hopefully become a reference for the programme managers who will include the community members in the monitoring and evaluation activities. In addition to reference to selected literature, the guidelines are enriched with case studies and field experience in participatory housing development in several regions of NAD and Nias.

4. Organizing a People’s Process for Housing: Community-Based Settlement Development

As a new alternative, the participatory development approach has not  often been used by the development actors, including in the sector of housing and settlement construction. The commitment of development actors - in this case the Aceh Tenggara district government in the province of NAD - to build houses for the lowincome groups by involving the community, calls for clear directive and tangible methods. The guidelines aim to capture these successful methods. The experience of UN-HABITAT Banda Aceh and other agencies in managing participatory residential and settlement construction has been the basis for preparing
the guidelines, with due consideration to the policies and operational  strategies in effect. These guidelines may also be useful to other housing construction agencies that would like to use a community participation approach, with certain adjustments where necessary.

6. Taking Care of Basic Settlements Amenities : Housing Infrastructure Operation and Maintenance Guidelines

The progress made in the number of houses built in NAD and Nias up to the end of 2007 demonstrates the need for the construction of  housing and settlement infrastructures in order to create healthy, harmonious, and constructive settlement areas that support the lives and livelihoods of the residents. The construction of good settlement
infrastructures requires an assessment of needs, and comprehensive and rapid planning in accordance with these needs, respecting the capacity of the community.
The provision of tools to assess the needs for basic community infrastructures
should assist the development actors in preparing a good infrastructure plan.
