Background
Eastern Indonesia faces many complex development challenges. The issues of alignment and harmonization are particularly important given the regiona �s immense cultural diversity, its remoteness and the fact that the population is spread over a very large geographical area, making it difficult for development stakeholders, particularly donors to establish a significant presence and maintain the necessary contacts that would allow harmonization of programs and take local conditions into account.

There are many valuable lessons to be learned from local governments, civil society, and donors working together in eastern Indonesia to increase development effectiveness. Facilitating exchange of smart practices, experience, and lessons learned among development stakeholders can support development actors to work more effectively.
