Evaluation of the Indonesia National Police Management Training Project, 1983-1996

This document describes an evaluation of the Indonesia National Police Management Training Project, which aimed to improve the Indonesian National Police's management efficiency and establish a community-based policing approach. Funded by the UK from 1983 to 1996, the project underwent two phases and included the creation of an Internal Management Consultancy Unit (IMCU). The evaluation employed desk studies, consultations, field visits, and interviews, conducted by both in-house staff and external consultants from the Department for International Development (DFID). The project was found to be partially successful, achieving many objectives and providing value for money, but raised concerns about the IMCU's long-term sustainability. It led to new training methods, better police services, and steps towards community policing, despite issues with public trust and accountability. The evaluation underscored the need for realistic goals, trust-building, in-country training, clear success indicators, and careful contract negotiation. While the project made significant strides, it faced challenges in sustainability, resource allocation, and addressing broader issues like poverty and gender. **This summary was written by an AI model and therefore should not be considered a definitive summary of the report.
