ANNEX I
.AMPLIFIED DES <RIPTION OF 1HE FRO JECT
1. S l11MARY
This $18 .0 million Amendment to the F'lnancial Institutions
Levelopment (FID) Project is designed to support policy and institutional development of the Bank Rakyat Indonesia (ERI) Kecamatan - level
(sub-disc tric) Unit U=sa system. Under this Amendment, which complements
the original $27 .8 million FID effort to strengthen village - based credit systems, trairdng funds, technical assistance, commodities and regional training facilities will be provided to help initiate a formal training program for 13,000 Dnit Lesa employees and to improve the policy and operating environment of the Unit Desa to meet the growing demand for
free-market financial services at the Kecamatan level. In addition a major rural finance research and reporting system will be established.
Activities funded under the Amendment will be implemented by BRI under
the guidance of the Ministry of Finance. 1'he amendment and this amended amplified project descriptions coffiplement the existing Agreement which remains on going.
11. PROJECT DES <RIP110N
A. Amendment Goal
The Project (and Amendment) goal is to encourage enterprise
development, increase productivity and generate employment opportunities in rural areas.
H. Amendment Purpose
The Amendment purpose is (1) to help develop the BRl Unit Desa system in order to provide financial intermediation for middle-level rural
borrowers at reasonable cost; (2) to produce loan portfolios of employment generating activities, primarily off-farm; and ( 3) to
strengthen BRl savings mobilization programs. \1he Amendment purpose
differs from the original Project purpose only in its focus on a
different level within the rural financial system, e.g. Kecamatan-level Lnit Desa operations vs. village-level BKK-type operations.)
C. MAJOR OUTFUTS
The Amendment will focus on four activities -- policy assistance, training, operational improvements, and research -- as outlined below:
How and where the Unit Lesa should best fit within the BRI organization. This will include a review of the financial, organizational and reporting structures, and should involve considerable interaction with the S1DF-financed consulting group.
Particular attention will be given to planning for Unit U=sa staff
career development within bRl. The result of this review will be a
comprehensive long-range plan for development of the Unit Lesa system.
The financial relationship between Unit Desa, BRIand BI, including the role of liquidity credits, profit center accounting for services provided, prof it distributions, operational ceilings and cash
management. Such policy outputs should include recommendations and
follow-through on specific regulatory changes required, both at the national level and within BRI.
Loan portfolio management and marketing, especially focussing on improving management's ability to conduct risk assessment, broadening the market, rationalizing collateral requirements, improving public relatiorm and service, and adjusting interest rates to conform to loan performance and operational costs.
Promotion of savings mobilization, particularly as a means of replacing liquidity credits and encouraging private investment.
Expansion of Unit Desa activities into such services as bank
transfers, pension and tax transactions, pay for civil servants, and longer term savings instruments.
2. Training: The Amendment will support establishment of a high-quality
BRl regional training system and the institutional capacity to maintain the system for the 13,000 Unit Iesa employees and cabang supervisors of Unit De sa operations. This system shall consist of a permanent BRl regional training staff and tour regional training centers, an estaLlished budget procedure and source of funds, and appropriate
training materials and means of updating materials and curriculum as ueeued to properly train staff. Training will consist of at least three
セ・・ォウ@ of formal training for each employee during the Amendment, plus
on-the-job training in selected areas such as loan portfolio management and accounting. Training provided will stress the concepts and future
goals of the Unit Desa system, with less emphasis on イッオエゥイセ@ procedure .
.:>. (;perational Development: The Amendment will support improvement of
Unit Desa 。」」ッオョエゥョセL@ communications and automation systems as necessary
to lower the cost of .tinancial intermediation in a cost-effective manner.
The accounting system used now is based on simple double-entry accounting, and involves a great deal of transferring written entries
irom ledger to ledger. The system is very labor intensive and, because of a lack of cross-verification, is error-prone. Personnel time freed up
through approvea accounting could allow for portfolio growth without the need for additional personnel, and savings from faster processing and
fewer errors would lower the intermediation cost. Several new trial
- 3
-Amendment, these trial systems plus recommended additions will be evaluated, and the most appropriate system will be implemented
nationwide. Personnel training in accounting and automation will also be
provided.
Communications currently are extremely limited between the Unit Lesa
and c。セョァN@ For instance, not one Dnit セウ。@ has a telephone. l'his makes
cash management and reporting very difficult. Given the extent to which
information transfer 。イセ@ communications are the basis of modern banking,
this Amendment will support the developllient of two-way communication links between the l.Jnit I..esa and the Cabang offices.
The 2,400 Unit Desa offices currently handle over one-halt million transactions a month using no automation system other than pocket calculators. Given the anticipated rapid growth of the Dnit Desa programs and the need to improve efficiency, some basic measure of
automation will soon be necessary. Since any proposed automation system
would be linked to other operations systems, the first step will be for
the specifications and level of automation to be defined in accordance
with accounting and reporting recommendations to be prepared by the
operations T /A team. After the appropriate staged automation plan is
approved, the initial system will be procured and installed, and
personnel trained to utilize the new system.
4.
Hesearch: The Amendment will finance the conduct of a major researchstudy which will provide guidance to the GOI and USAID concerning further development needed within the rural financial sector. This research will
be conducted in three re:r;resentative provinces under the sponsorship of
the MOF. The Ministry of Finance has played an important role in the
development of the Kupedes/Simpedes programs, and is well-positioned and motivated to sponsor this major research program.
The study is to be conducted over a three year period, and will focus on estimating the total supply of credit and savings within each
province, broken down into source (including informal credit markets), major variables of each program or source, and how each variable affects
the demand for credit and the propensity to save. The research would also define the coverage of existing programs, including a profile of
both typical borrowers/lenders by prcgram and the type of persons not now
served under any program. Given this type of information, USAID and the
GO! can then better evaluate the need for redesign, regulation or
deregulation of existing programs, the need for new programs, and the market for private banking in rural areas.
D. INHJTS:
1. Policy Assistance: The training and policy advisory team will assume
an active role in providing policy inputs for BRl, Bland MOF. USAID
staff and U.S. Federal Reserve Bank advisors being funded under the
Private Sec tor Project ( 497-0329) will also play important roles in such policy discussions.
2. Training System: 'rhe minimum initial requirement to ensure a basic
level of consistency and understanding of new Unit Iesa programs is an average of three weeks of formal training for all employees and
supervisors over the next three years. A similar level of training will continue after this Amendment period, · although course content would differ depending on training needs.
In order to improve training materials and train trairers, a major
input will be technical assistance for the training system. The T/A team
would advise on preparations for and conduct of the initial three-year program at four regional centers. They will work with the BRI training division on all aspects of curricullum development, program
administration and support, and personnel policy.
Another major input will be the establishment of four regional training centers. This will involve the construction and furnishing of new facilities at Padang and Yogyakarta, the rehabilitation, expansion and furnishing of facilities at Surabaya, and the furnishing of
facilities at Ujung Pandang. (The Ujung Pandang center was recently
constructed under the World hank SEDP project, and is very suitable for
training). These four centers were selected to minimize new staff requirements and trainee travel expenses, and to maximize the use of current facilities. The USAID contribution for construction and
furnishing will be to reimburse up to 50 percent of the total estimated
cost, to be establilshed as a predetermined fixed amount reimbursement (FAR) for each of the four sites once preliminary cost estimates and plans are reviewed.
Whereas total USAID .FAR payments are not to exceed $1,650 ,000 under this Amendment, the allocation of payments among the four regional centers may change once preliminary cost estimates and plans become
available. BlU has hired local A&1 firms to prepare these plans and
estimates. Once these estimates have been reviewed and approved by the
USAlD engineering office, then the FAR amounts will be agreed upon. A
Condition Precedent in the Loan Agreement requires the completion of
USAlD's engineering review prior to the finalization of the FAR amounts.
Likewise the USAID engineerinE; office will inspect the buildings to
approve actual disbursement of the FAR amounts.
ln order to meet training staft requirements, BRl has agreed to recruit 21 new regional trainers from within the BRI staff. The new
staff will be given intensive training at the central training facility
and then would be assisted by the training T/A consultant as they
initiate the regional programs. 1\ew staff will report to the regional
5
-One immediate training input, as mentioned above, is the preparation
of course materials for the Unit Desa training program. This effort will
require approximately one year, and will involve the training consultant, the BRl training staff and a BRl-contracted local publisher.
Concurrently the combined training team will select and begin intensive training of the new regional training staff.
in addition to the above mentioned input, funds will be required for
actual training expenses. 1hese expenses will include student travel and
per diem, facility rental, and course teaching materials. In addition BRl must fund teacher salaries, administrative support, domestic staff
salaries and building upkeep. 1otal annual non-recurring expenses for
the initial three-year program are estimated at slightly over $1,000,000. AlD will reimburse BRI for non-recurring training expenses such as
trainee travel and per diem, course materials and expenses, and facility rental, up to a maximum of 3500,000 per year, for a three year total of $1.5 million. BRl will fund all recurring costs, such as salaries and upkeep, plus the balance of non-recurring costs.
3.
Operations: Along with intensive training, the Unit Desa need thefollowing additional operational inputs.
o Technical assistance for accounting, reporting, automation and audit
systems is essential. 1o develop these, BRl will contract an operations T /A team, comprised of two long -term advisors in accounting and bank automation, one long-term audit advisor, and several short-term advisors for a total of 7 • .) p-y. This team will assist with the technical aspects of the regional training programs, advise on procurement, installation and operation of commodities discussed below, assist BRl in the redesign of all operational
systems, and consult with individual unit Desa on an as needed basis.
o Commodity assistance in the form of radio communications and
automation equipment are also required. with respect to
communications, BRl proposes to provide each Unit De sa with a 10-v.att two-way VHF radio set capable of communicating with the Cabang
office. Antenna will be required in most cases. This will allow the
Unit De sa to report to the ca bang office on a daily basis, to request
cash transfers from other Unit Desa as required, and to receive
information on loan applications and other management needs. BRI
will prioritize Unit Desa and probably phase in the communications
systems as funding permits. AlD would provide up to 50 percent of
the actual procurement cost, subject to availability of funds.
Automation inputs will be required as the system expands. while the
specific automation plan and timetable will require initial
investigation by the accounting and automation advisors, the probable configuration is a desk-top micrv computer at each Unit Desa,
possibly employing some form of cash entry system such as register. Supporting automation equipment at the CabanE,s or central .bRl office
will probably be developed in order to balance system cost with funds available. AID agrees to pay up to 50 percent of the total actual cost, subject to abailability of funds.
4. Research: 1he focal point of the Amendment research activity will be
the l-'10F Directorate General of Lomestic Monetary Affairs, which will serve as the GOI contracting agent and research supervisor. The research
will most likely be 」ッイセセ」エ・、@ by a consortium of locally contracted
institutes and firms. To assist the local research team, AlD will fund 5
p-y of expatriate T/ A, presumably 2 resarch experts working periodically
over a three year period. The T/A contractor will primarily assist in
research and survey design, data verification and data analysis.
