1. "The Media and Advocacy Workshop" Jaya Pura, November 1998 is part of a package of trainings, workshops and exchanges sponsored by BSP- KEMALA as part of its program to strengthen NGO and community capacity to improve and decentralize natural resource management in Indonesia. |
| 2. Ichsan, KEMALA’s Training Officer brings a wealth of organizational development and facilitation experience and tools to the training component of KEMALA’s program. The use of index cards to solicit input from workshop participants insures that each participant’s point of view is considered by the group. |  |
 |
3. Kiki (left), KEMALA’s Information and Communications Officer, conducts trainings as well as providing ongoing editorial, media and strategic communications assistance for KEMALA partners and their allies. |
| 4. Like most KEMALA workshops, the "Media and Advocacy Workshop" brought KEMALA Partner Grantees together with allies that are not receiving KEMALA grants. Here, grantees and non grantees use name headbands to get better aquatinted while doing an exercise to analyze their current use of the media. |  |
 |
5. The KEMALA program brings together community leaders and NGOs for training that builds skills relevant to the grants it provides. Here Tina (LPPMA) and Alex (Lembaga Adat Suku Yei) work together to consider how to bring clear messages about community based natural resource management to government officials. |
|
6. Religious institutions play an important role in grass roots communities coming together across Indonesia. Church representative ?? ‘s participation in the workshop is one way KEMALA is supporting NGO and Church communication and cooperation in Irian Jaya. |
|
7. In Irian Jaya, as elsewhere in Indonesia, local communities are organizing themselves to speak with one voice so that they can negotiate effectively with the private sector, government and other outsiders. KEMALA supports this through grants, technical assistance and training. Lorenz and Amatus, who represent the Community Organizations established by Walesi and Asmat tribes, will go home and hold community meetings to convey what they have learned at the workshop to their constituents at home. |
