Résume bref du projet:

The project aims to map knowledge about the performing arts of Indonesia (and arts activism) based on the applicant’s own data and archives, create a digital platform to hold the data and build a database available to multiple users; preserve and generate new knowledge; publish a book and organize an event; and encourage collaboration within the country and globally. The aim is to support the arts ecosystem and inform government policy making, the cultural industry sector and international researchers.

1. PERTINENCE ET ADÉQUATION DU PROJET AUX OBJECTIFS STRATÉGIQUES ET DOMAINES D'INTERVENTION DU FIDC

1.1 Veuillez décrire comment les objectifs et impacts/ bénéfices à long terme du projet correspondent à, au moins, l’un des objectifs stratégiques du FIDC et ses effets escomptés associés. :

The project will address ER 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3 by enabling cross-sectoral cooperation in knowledge exchange as it affects policy-making, development initiatives, education etc; building networks and promoting civil society engagement in policy making; and publication of knowledge and information to promote the cultural industries in Indonesia.

1.2 Comment les objectifs de cette proposition répondent-ils aux besoins et priorités actuels du pays/ de la région en termes de politiques culturelles et/ou d’industries culturelles ? :

Indonesia has 17,000 islands with 633 ethnic groups and 742 languages so documenting and distributing information about its contemporary art practices is challenging, particularly outside city centres. This lack of data influences policy-making. However, access to cultural networks (within Indonesia and internationally) is increasing thanks to technology. The project will address the data and geographic challenges.

1.3 Dans quelle mesure les objectifs du projet sont-ils spécifiques et mesurables ?:

The objectives are reasonably specific, and it would be straightforward to assess whether the necessary outputs have been produced. However, ways to assess the quality of the outcomes (database content, website etc) needs to be considered.

1.4 Dans quelle mesure le projet contribue-t-il à la promotion de l’égalité des genres, à l’autonomisation des jeunes, à la coopération Sud-Sud et Nord-Sud-Sud et/ou à la participation de divers groupes sociaux dans le cadre des domaines d’intervention du FIDC ? :

While it is not mentioned in the application, the project could potentially contribute to N-S-S cooperation by providing better access to information on the contemporary performing arts for touring/mobility opportunities.

Score:

3. GESTION ET RESPONSABILITÉ FINANCIÈRES

3.1 Le budget prévoit-il des ressources adéquates (salaires, honoraires, matériel, voyages, communication, etc.) nécessaires à la réussite du projet ? Si le budget a été surestimé ou sous-estimé, veuillez expliquer de quelle manière. :

The budget is for $141k of which the grant request if virtually $100k. The budget is detailed and seems appropriate. Most of the budget ($82k) is for Salaries and Fees, of which $21k is self-funded.

Score :

4. EFFICACITÉ DES RÉSULTATS ET LIVRABLES DU PROJET

4.1 Les résultats et/ou livrables du projet sont-ils concrets, mesurables et réalistes ? Dans quelle mesure permettront-ils d’atteindre les objectifs du projet?:

The new law on the advancement of culture includes a mandate to build a database of Indonesia traditional cultural objects and ICH. Kelola has its own database of contemporary performing arts practices and this would complement and inform what the govt is doing, and impact on policy.

5.3 Quelles mesures/démarches sont proposées afin d’assurer une réponse aux impacts/bénéfices à long terme du projet?:

Information will be circulated widely to universities, government, NGO sector, private companies etc. Social media will be used to promote the outcomes widely and regularly.

Évaluation globale:

The project will engage with civil society and the arts sector and create a useful digital database of information. However, the ability for the project to create major structural change and impact on government and policy-making to provide long-term benefits to the cultural industry sector is less well demonstrated.

Résume bref du projet:

Build a digital platform of knowledge in performing arts that includes: 1. Information about actors, spaces, events, etc. that show the cultural diversity of Indonesia 2. The existing historical information on the cultural activity of Indonesia 3. Integrate an artist directory that encourages collaboration with the rest of the world

1. PERTINENCE ET ADÉQUATION DU PROJET AUX OBJECTIFS STRATÉGIQUES ET DOMAINES D'INTERVENTION DU FIDC

ER 1.1. Cross-sectoral cooperation in cultural policy making and implementation is demonstrated: The NGO has experience in working with other civil society organizations, and national and foreign institutions, however, the project is not directly aimed at generating intersectoral work for the creation and implementation of a specific cultural policy, in any of the levels of Indonesian Government ER 1.2. Processes and mechanisms for public policy making and implementation are strengthened: the platform development process is not part of a mechanism to create or implement a public policy. In fact, the Indonesian government itself is carrying out its own process for the creation of a database related to the cultural sector. The applicant considers that the information available from the NGO can be useful to complement government information, but bridges must be built. ER 1.3. The role of civil society in cultural policy making and implementation is strengthened: the applicant mentions that once the platform is ready, he will seek to establish links with the government and the organization that is developing the government's cultural information platform. In that sense it is clear that the project is currently disconnected from the government process and, consequently, is not strengthening the role of civil society in the implementation of a cultural policy

1.2 Comment les objectifs de cette proposition répondent-ils aux besoins et priorités actuels du pays/ de la région en termes de politiques culturelles et/ou d’industries culturelles ? :

According to the report of the National Commission of UNESCO, the project adjust itself to the priorities established by the National Congress on culture. It is estimated that the platform fosters a space for the recognition of the diversity of cultural expressions and facilitates interaction, in a way that promotes an inclusive culture

1.3 Dans quelle mesure les objectifs du projet sont-ils spécifiques et mesurables ?:

The objectives are described in a generic way and are relatively understandable in terms of their purpose, but do not provide sufficient concrete elements to measure their scope.

The project includes the participation of Kelola’s students and their partners, which allows the participation of several groups to develop the project. Once the information is available, it could open new channels of cooperation in the north - south and south - south.

2. FAISABILITÉ DU PROJET, AINSI QUE LA PERTINENCE ET L'EFFICACITÉ DE SES MODALITÉS D'EXÉCUTION

The organization shows great experience in everything related to artistic creation at all stages and in the generation of links with other organizations and institutions. Without demerit of the above, within the team it is not even observed that there is a person or a group of people who have experience in the design of database and digital platform, nor of its operation, maintenance and permanent update. The website design and programming will be carried out by an external contractor and the website administrator will be hired for twelve months.

2.2 Dans quelle mesure les activités répondent-elles aux questions pertinentes ? Veuillez expliquer comment la méthodologie est appropriée à la réalisation des objectifs ? :

In general, the activities address issues relevant to the development of the platform, however activities related to outputs 2.2 of the activities section refer to activities related to the writing, design and printing of a book, which is not considered directly related to a digital platform; in the same way the activities indicated with the number 3.2, refer to the realization of a congress in which relevant artists from all over the country are present. Which is also not considered to be a needed activity for the realization of the project Activity 3.1.1 Web design is carried out before contracting website designer and programmer (3.1.2) which can be a mistake. It is considered much more convenient that the database and the design of the sheet provided to the interviewers be carried out with the support of the contractor who will be in charge of the design of the platform and the website. In the application format, the proponent indicates that there are 633 ethnic groups in the country and 742 languages are spoken. In that sense, the evaluator misses that the applicant does not include resources for translation and does not talks about any strategy to include that language diversity. It is not clear to the evaluator how the artistic and cultural expressions of this mega cultural diversity of Indonesia are integrated. The applicant also does not inform in which language or languages the platform would be available.

2.3 Dans quelle mesure le calendrier est-il réaliste et cohérent avec les activités ?:

It is observed that very little time is given to the realization of research activities: 1.2.2 Mapping and cataloging artists' knowledge, 05/Jun/20 to 20/Jul/20 1.1.3 Mapping other creative practitioners and foreign art colectives and organization that are potential to be Kelola and Indonesian artists' collaborators, 04/May/20 to 04/Jun/20

The direct and indirect beneficiaries are identified in a very generic way, since the project is the creation of an information and knowledge platform open to the general public. However, and since the Indonesian government is carrying out a similar exercise, it is possible to think that the project addresses an existing need in the general population of Indonesia

Score:

3. GESTION ET RESPONSABILITÉ FINANCIÈRES

Expenditure number 2.1.2.2 computer and audiovisual equipment rental, total ammount $ 4,200 dollars. No proforma invoice is attached that itemizes this expense concept. Expenditure number 2.4.1.1 to 2.4.5.2 related to the production, preparation of the design and publication of a book, are considered not indispensable for the realization of the project and its elimination should be considered. Total ammount $ 7,325 Expenditure number 3.2.1.1- 3.2.5.6 related to the congress attended by relevant artists and activists, estimates that it is not directly related to the main objective of the project and it is suggested that total ammount of $20,911 be eliminated. Both the design and programming of the website and its administration will be assigned to external contractors, since within the team there is no person who has the necessary skills and experience for the operation, maintenance and updating of the digital platform, and there are no specific strategies to obtain the resources that are needed for its maintenance and update, so there is a risk of its continuity beyond the duration of the project.

The total amount of the overhead is $ 24,870, which still meets the maximum allowed.

3.3 La proposition de projet indique-t-elle des contributions financières supplémentaires au projet, telles que des co-financements et/ou de l’auto-financement ? :

The Project considers a contribution of $ 40,950 dollars equivalent to 29% of the total cost of the project, to be provided by the NGO and First State Investments Indonesia

3.4 Quelles sont les actions prévues pour assurer la responsabilité financière (par exemple, l’implication d’un directeur financier) ? :

The applying NGO will hire a person specially dedicated to the financial control of the project, with a total salary of $ 8,244, and a specific auditor will also be hired for this project.

4. EFFICACITÉ DES RÉSULTATS ET LIVRABLES DU PROJET

4.1 Les résultats et/ou livrables du projet sont-ils concrets, mesurables et réalistes ? Dans quelle mesure permettront-ils d’atteindre les objectifs du projet?:

The project’s expected outputs and deliverables are concrete and measurable

4.2 Dans quelle mesure les activités principales et le budget sont-ils pertinents et adaptés à la réalisation des résultats et/ou livrables énoncés ?:

The main activities and the budget are in general adequate to achieve deliverables and outputs. However, it is insisted that the publication of the book and the realization of the Congress are not directly related to the central objective that is the production of a digital information and knowledge platform.

4.3 Dans quelle mesure est-il prévu que ce projet ait un impact ou des bénéfices à long terme sur les politiques culturelles et/ou les industries culturelles du pays/ de la région ?:

The realization of the project can help to expand the information available to the research that, in the same way, is now doing the Indonesian government. It is suggested that prior to start the platform design, the NGO establish communication with the Government Institutions so that the design of the NGO platform is compatible and could interact with what is being elaborated by the Indonesian government

The platform can be a useful tool to recognize the diversity of artistic and cultural expressions, both historical and contemporary of Indonesia. While it is true that the largest volume of information to be included in the platform comes from the NGO archives, research work is also planned in 10 cities. All this will have a positive impact on the knowledge of existing artistic expressions and cultural spaces, however, since it is not currently linked to a government institution, it is difficult to think that it can have a structural impact in the way that government and regulatory authorities design and implement cultural policies. The platform can contribute to generate better links and interaction between the professionals of the arts, with the Institutions and with the public in general.

Score:

5. DURABILITÉ

In relation to partners, they all participate in the project and are fully involved. Their role is clearly identified. As for contractors and sub contractors, their role in the project regarding the chosen contractor is clearly established. For the design of the web platform, a person with experience in graphic design is proposed, without specifying their capabilities or experience in the design and programming of digital platforms.

5.2 Comment le projet se rattache-t-il et/ou complète-t-il le travail déjà en cours dans le pays/la région en termes de politiques et/ou d’industries culturelles ? :

Currently, the Indonesian government is carrying out similar work for the creation of a database of cultural activities and creators, where the information and knowledge platform proposed by the applicant can contribute to a cultural policy action that the government is currently executing, however, since there is no link with government institutions so far, the chances of the project to contribute to that policy are low.

5.3 Quelles mesures/démarches sont proposées afin d’assurer une réponse aux impacts/bénéfices à long terme du projet?:

The applicant proposes to disseminate and be an advocate of information among associates, universities, governments, NGOs and private companies. The NGO has a program called "Art Sharing Sessions" that will also be promoted through the platform, to make it available for people are interested in working with art and through art. The evaluator suggests that the applicant includes what the complete strategies would be that could guarantee the operation of maintenance and updating of the platform, from the point of view of the information contained, and from the computer program one. The project does not specify who will be responsible for the expenses of lodging site and the payment of the renewal of the domain. It may seem a minor matter but they are elements on which the long-term viability of the project depends.

5.4 Quelles mesures/démarches sont proposées pour le suivi du projet avec ses bénéficiaires après son achèvement ? :

The applicant informs that the platform will be updated based on the information that emerges from their own programs, and so he mentions that a participatory mechanism will be established so each artist can update the available information about their own work

Score:

Évaluation globale:

The Project is relevant in a way that allows to digitize the information available in the archives of the NGO and take advantage of the good relations that the applicant has with their partners, organizations and institutions to retrieve additional information about artists, spaces and cultural events. All this contributes to increase the existing information about the sector. However, the main weakness of the project is that it does not have direct communication with the government institutions that are developing the database on cultural and artistic activities, so the information could be compatible and shared. Likewise, and because there are no people with experience in platform design and programming in the staff, it is required that the contractor provides advise and consulting from the design stage of the database and interview formats. The activities related to the publication of the book and the realization of a congress are considered not essential for the realization of the project, so it is suggested to eliminate them. Finally, the applicant must propose specific financing strategies for the operation, maintenance and updating, not only from the information contained in the platform but also from the computer program and information hostage. Therefore, the project it is not recommended for financing.

Résumé de l'évaluation:

This project proposes to map the performing arts of Indonesia, create a digital platform to collect the data, and build a database available to multiple users in order to support the arts ecosystem and inform government policy making. The outcome of the project will be a digital platform and database that aims to have long term benefits for the performing arts sector. The activities are described in detail and appear to be appropriate to achieving the objectives and the timeline is well planned and coherent with the activities. However, while the applicant indicates that there are 633 ethnic groups in the country and 742 languages are spoken, the evaluators were surprised that the application does not include resources for translation, does not talk about any strategy to include that language diversity, and does not inform in which language or languages the platform would be available. While the project will engage with civil society and the arts sector and create a useful digital database of information, its capacity to create major structural change and impact on government and policy-making to provide long-term benefits to the cultural industry sector is less well demonstrated.
