- Abstract
Sumba is one of the driest area in Indonesia and it’s difficult for the people to get water during the dry season, as to get water, they have to travel as far as 3-7 Km. With the initiation of Barsha pump program in 2017 and 2019, the water problem can be solved. The objectives of this paper are to identify and evaluate the role of Women Farmer Group (WFG) in the operation of the Barsha pump, and to identify and to evaluate policy and program on Gender Mainstreaming (GM) to improve the capacity of WFG. The method for data collection was done by using questionnaire and Focus Group Discussion (FGD). Gender analysis then applied to analyze the findings. The result shows that the role of farmer group is surprising because farmer can access water and run the obligation to pay 20% from their farm production to the manager of the pump. The obstacles faced by WFG are in the access to get seeds, and the credit facility and support for weaving products. In addition, the patrilineal system that affects WFG and the society in general make them unable to improve their capacity, both in the farmer community and in their households. They still don’t have program and policy with gender perspective hence the ongoing programs are also not optimized. The lack of understanding on concepts in GM, such as gender budgeting and gender focal point, wompounded with the lack of budget, human resource, and cultural factor. To solve this condition, there must be a cooperation and socialization of GM by using human rights and local wisdom approaches.
