| The smile of Eruwok Children |
A united, empowered and self-reliant community in
Eruwok working together towards sustaining economic development, health for all
its members and quality education for children by 2016 is the reason for Eruwok
ADP has been operating in this area since 1998 fiscal year
until now. The ADP has been implementing its programs on ‘village’ level as
focus area of its intervention. In total, the ADP ministry area covers 28
villages previously under administrative area of two districts of Jayawijaya
regency, Papua province (since 2008 all ministry
areas of Eruwok ADP already in new regency called Lanny Jaya). These
villages, through implementation of Regional Autonomy, were redistributed into
6 administrative district areas, namely: Tiom, Malagaineri, Tiomneri, Pirime,
Maki, and Balingga districts. Most of the 28 villages are located in two
districts, i.e. Tiom and Pirime districts[1].
Since 2008, regional autonomy had brought Eruwok ministry area into new regency
called Lanny Jaya regency. Though it was said in evaluation result conducted in
2008 that Eruwok covers 28 villages, actually more than 90 communities covered
due to village expansion since its became Lanny Jaya regency.
In education to
“Improved quality of basic education in ADP coverage areas” some progress are evident: During this project lifetime Eruwok ADP also still cooperated with assisting teachers of
Surya Institute in developing teachers’ skill in teaching mathematics using
GASING method, as a result 29
teachers now implemented GASING method in their schools (Until FY 11).
In health projects, Eruwok ADP put constraints on Water, Sanitation
and Hygiene, Nutrition and HIV and AIDS projects since those programs still need by the community that found during AOP
FY11 preparation in June 2010. Nutrition still the main problem in Eruwok ADP
ministry area as evaluation result stated: “Surveys on
900 samples households show that nutrition status of most 6-59 months old
children is good. Additionally, the percentage of insufficient nutrition status
based on the percentage of median weight-to-height is about 20.3%, while the
percentage of severe malnutrition status is approximately 9.0%, which is higher
than tolerated threshold (5%). This implies that nutrition status in ministry
area of Eruwok ADP is still a community health problem”. In this FY11, Eruwok
ADP carried out several PD/ NERS in Posyandus and provides support for local
cadres in revitalizing Posyandus in expanded areas such as Tiom and Makki
districts. Several activities in this FY also involved District Health Office
of Lanny Jaya that they provided technical skill for nutrition training and
allocated budget for cadres’ equipments and supplies.
In Community WASH project, Eruwok ADP facilitated hygiene promotion to
community using CLTS approach. This activity initiated community to change
their behavior of open defecation that often caused diarrhea to open defecation
free (ODF). This new habit expected to bring contribution in child well being.
In HIV and AIDS project, Eruwok ADP continued disseminating information on
AIDS through SEDIA and
HIV & AIDS project. In this project lifetime, Eruwok ADP had conducted Channel of
Hope workshops for Moslem leaders in cooperation with HOPE Project. Some illuminations to schools also conducted with stakeholders as
informant. In commemorating AIDS Candlelight Memorial (May), Eruwok ADP had
cooperated with Jayawijaya KPAD to run “Malam Renungan” every year. This activity involved Baliem Peace youth group as organizator. Through this event Eruwok ADP able to spread HIV prevention information to about
500 youth of Wamena city yearly.
In Child Sponsorship Management Project,
Eruwok ADP also put several activities for RCs studied in Wamena. Eruwok ADP
had continued computer course for registered children living in Wamena and now begin to a new step of involving them to be peer educators for HIV
prevention. Eruwok ADP also begin to run children radio in Tiom. This radio (Swara Anak Lanny)
