ANNEX I

AMPLIFIED PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Western Universities Agricultural Education (497-0297)

The Western Universities Agricultural Education Pxoject is composed of two phases. Phase one was initiated in 1981 as a five year pxoject to strengthen the faculties of agriculture and related disciplines in the eleven BKS-B (Association of Western Universities) institutions (North Sumatra University , Andalas

University , Sriwijaya University , Syiah Kuala University, University of Riau, University of Jambi, Tanjungpura University, Bengkulu University, University of Lampung, IKIP/Medan, and IKIP/Padang). The University of Kentucky was designated as the implementing U.S. institution.

Phase I was funded at appxoximately $18.0 million, of which the AID contribution totalled $9.85 million ($3.9 million in grant and $5.95 million in loan) . Major AID financed inputs to the pxoject include long term graduate level training in the United States; long and short term technical assistance ; support to in- country staff development activities; and library text and reference materials. The Government of Indonesia (GO!) financed inputs include operational support for pxoject activities; graduate level training in Indonesia; staff and logistical support for the U.S. technical assistance team; and "in-kind"

contribution of staff and facilities .

I . Project Descripti on

A. Pxoject Goal and Purpose

Phase II will maintain the same goal as Phase I , i .e., to impxove

Indonesia' s ability to feed its people and pxovide increasing social and economic welfare for the rural population. In support of GO! efforts to expand and

impxove the technical manpower base, the pxoject will focus its efforts and resources on continuing to strengthen the cooperating BKS-B institutions in the Pxovinces of Sumatra and West Kalimantan.

Cognizant of assistance being pxovided to some of these institutions by other donors , and building on the pxogress made during Phase I, the pxoject will,

in Phase II, intensify resident tecbnical assistance at the University of Syiah Kuala, the University of Lampung and the University of Riau. Continued English language training support will be pxovided to the Universities of Jambi,

Bengkulu, and Tanjungpura. All of the BKS/B institutions will continue to participate in the networks, short courses and participant training

opportunities. The intent of the pxoject is to remain as responsive as possible to the needs of the BKS-B universities, as reflected by their current levels of development and the external resources ava.ilable to them.

2

At the completion of the pxoject, it is expected that the universities' educational pxograms will be substantially strengthened as indicated by a significant nUIIber of staff having been upgraded through appropriate study pxogrsms; the development of impxoved ｣ｵｲｲｩ｣ｵｾ｡［＠ the increasing use of class outlines, subject matter syllabi , texts, supplementary readings and more

appropriate teaching methods. This, in turn, will ｲ･ｳｾｴ＠ in the preparation of

tt

better trained, higher quality graduates.

•

The research function will be significantly strengthened in Phase II by the return of an increasing number of faculty members with graduate degrees, more resident technical assistance advisors, the opportunity for a limited number of Ph.D. candidates to conduct their dissertation research in Indonesia, the availability of a limited number of research internships for recently returned faculty, and increased availability of laboratory equipment.

B. Project Outputs (resulting from Phase II resources)

The first and most important output of the pxoject continues to be better trained ｰｸｯｾｩｯｮ｡ｬ＠ staff in the agricultural sciences and supporting basic sciences. As a result of AID Phase II resources, a totu of 65 M.S. and 15 Ph.Ds are expected to receive training in the U. S. by the end of the pxoject, including 10 who will participate in joi nt US-Indonesia ("Sandwich") Ph. D. pxograms. In addition, an estimated 137 graduate degrees will be earned by staff attending Indonesian institutions under GOI funding.

The second major output will be impxovement in the quality of instruction at the undexgraduate (S-1) level in ｡ｧｲｩ｣ｾｴｵｲ･＠ and related basic sciences . Faculty returning with advanced degrees will be instrumental in achieving this output. Assisted by these ｦ｡｣ｾｴｹ＠ members, the pxoject will persist in its efforts to expand the number, impxove the quality, and increase the use of course syllabi, relevant texts, laboratory manuals, and other types of ･､ｵ｣｡ｴｩｯｮｳｾ＠

materials. Continued emphasis will be placed on impxoving teaching skills and the use of more appxopriate ｩｮｳｴｲｵ｣ｴｩｯｮｳｾ＠ meth>dologies.

A third output is the continued establishment of faculty networks. Four networksare-currently operating , with three more currently being planned. During Phase II, additional networks will be established in response to

identified interests and needs. These networks represent an effective means of continuing staff development and program impxovement by bringing together top specialists in selected fields fxom among the participating institutions for the purpose of identifying key pxoblems within their disciplines and mounting

syste.matic efforts to address these.

The fourth output is the development and presentation of specialized short courses. These are directly related to the activities of the networks, respond

to specific needs, and represent an effective and efficient means of in-service training.

The fifth output of this project is an expanded and impxoved research pxogram directly relevant to the development needs of Indonesia. Such a research pxogram is also vituly important to impxoving university ｣ｵｲｲｩ｣ｵｾ｡＠ and course content. Increasingly, the results of the research will be disseminated thxough research pamphlets, published papers, and journal articles, as well as

presentations at seminars and symposia.

and research pxngrams of returning faculty and the work of U. S. resident technical assistance teams.

A seventh output of the pxnject is impxnved university and faculty planning, organization and administration. One tangible pxnduct will be preparation of specific faculty staffing plans for the next 5 _{to 10 years. By} identifying and prioritizing staffing needs, these plans will serve as guides for staff recruitment and upgrading.

An eighth output of the pxnject will be a strengthened, more

"institutionalized" BKS-B, which will pxnvide the organization and resources required to continue many important pxnject-initiated and consortium-wide activities (e. g. short courses, networks, joint research) after completion of

the pxnject in August, 1990. C. Pxnject Components 1. Education and Training

The primary focus of this pxnject in Phase II will be the development of stxnnger institutional capabilities in the related areas of teaching and research in agriculture and rural development . Given the present level of development of the participating BKS-B institutions, specific emphasis will be placed on

expanding and impxoving undergraduate curricula and instruction. Initiating relevant research projects in order to meet better the needs of the community and region are complementary to the emphasis on impxoved teaching.

It is increasingly recognized that achieving the needed impxovements in teaching and research will require strengthening of the supporting basic scien.ces (including laboratory facilities and equipment), library resources and services, teaching materials and methodology, university planning and administration, and English language pxograms.

Fonnal Education: In order to upgrade the skills of as many staff members as possible, a wide variety of education and training opportunities are pxovided both abroad and in Indonesia. (On an exceptional basis, third country training will be considered . ) The overseas training involves primarily Ph.D. and M.S . or M.A. degree pxograms in fields related to agriculture, the basic sciences and

selected supporting areas. Technical non- degree studies in the

u.s.

or third countries and intensive short courses in Indonesia wi ll also be pxovided. An alternative training model that will be explored at the Ph.D. level is the "sandwich pxogram." Under this model, the participant having completed basic course work in Indonesia, will attend a U.S. university for appxnximately one year to take specific advanced courses. He/she will then return to the

Indonesian university to complete the degree. In conjunction with graduate study in the U. S. participants may also participate in specialized short courses , workshops, and on-the-job training (OJT) opportun.ities offered by various universities, the U.S. Department of Agriculture and other government agencies, agribusinesses and the International Agricultural Research Centers (!ARCs).

In-Country Research Opportunities: As part of graduate education and training pxograms, most participants will be required to complete a major research pxoject . Most Ph. D. research will be conducted in the United States. However, in certain carefully selected cases, it will be desirable for

•

•

4

completing the dissertation. In exceptional cases, and when specifically

provided for within t:he AID approval, loan funds may be used to meet the costs of in- country travel and maintenance for periods when research is being conducted away from the participants ' home institutions, for example at the

Inter-University Centers.

Selecting Participants for U.S . Graduate Study: The general criteria and procedures established for Phase I remain valid and these or a modified version thereof, as agreed to by the PSC will be used in Phase II.

All participant screening committees are to include representatives from the Directorate General of Higher Education, AID the BKS-B, and the University of Kentucky .

Spouse Training: Subject to AID/Washington approval of a change in policy regarding participant selection and programming, Phase II of this project may commit grant funds up to $120,000 to support the training needs of selected spouses of participants. This support will have two principal benefits. First, it will lessen the reluctance of otherwise viable candidates to undertake degree training in the U.S. due to the separation factor. Second, useful skills and experiences will be provided through training spouses, the vast majority of whom will be women. Program guidelines will be established jointly by AID and the GO! to indicate the types of training allowed and conformance to development goals required prior to funding for any spouse training being approved.

Srort Courses: Most of the srort courses in Phase II will be organized and presented in Indonesia, where they can be tailored to specific conditions and needs. A survey will be undertaken to identify short course needs and determine priorities. To the greatest extent possible, short courses will be integrated into the expanding network activities.

2. English Language Training

In Phase I, a three tier approach was instituted for English language training. In Tier I, lecturers received English training at their home institutions at the beginning and intexmediate levels. In Tier II, these participants attended an intensive course in Palembang for training at the intexmediate and advanced levels. In Tier III, participants surpassing a TOEFL score of 475 left for the

u.s.

and subsequently received an average of two months additional training in the U.S.

In Phase II, the English training program will continue to give first priority to meeting the needs and objectives of the WUAE Project. (However, as resources allow and excess capacity is available, candidates for non-WUAE funded overseas training programs may also participate.) Actions will be taken to continue improving the programs especia.lly at the Tier I and Tier II levels so that participants are better prepared in all the English language skills prior to leaving Indonesia. More experienced TEFL teachers with an M.A . or the equivalent from the U.S. or from other English speaking countries will be utilized. The following staffing pattern is suggested:

For Tier I at:

University of Lampung University of Bengkulu University of Jambi University of Tanjungpura University of Riau

- 1 M.A. TEFL Specialist for two years. - 1 M.A. TEFL Specialist plus 1 English

Aide for two years

•

•

5

For Tier II, at the University of Sriwijaya there will be one English Language Coordinator for 2 years, and two M.A. TEFL Specialists for 2 ye.ars.

Since project participants selected for study abroad will have to depart Indonesia no later than mid- 1988, and due to f unding limitations, technical assistance support of the English training program will end in mid-1988. In addition to staff, project funds will be available for the purchase of textbooks and other needed instructional materials and teaching aides.

3 . Research

As the number of faculty members with advanced degrees increases among the BKS-B universities , so should the research activities at these institutions. This is hindered, however by inadequate facilities and equipment; lack of funding support for researchers including both funds for research needs and honorarium; inadequate access to scientific journals and other research materials and to colleagues with similar research interests; and lack of incentives provided by

the respective universities.

The following are approaches which are planned under the project to reduce these constraints:

a. Equipment: Under Phase II, the GOI will provide funds for basic laboratory equipment in the universities which will receive

intensified assistance, as part of their program to equip laboratories nation wide. A small aawJunt of loan funds will also be allocated to supplement this basic equipment.

b. Direct Research Support: Mechanisms for providing adequate funding support to qualified and interested faculty members to participate in research activities will be developed during Phase II.

Such mechanisms could include:

1) Direct support on a competitive basis, to recently returned graduate degree holders (from Indonesian or overseas

institutions) for a period of 1-3 years. Guidelines for awarding these funds will be established, and the administration of the funding will reside with the Central Project Office. The research network, or a team of recognized outside specialists will be utilized as an advisory group to the CPO.

2) A process for peer review of research proposals, designed to capture research support funds on a matching (AID and GOI) basis unde r the on- going DGHE-adJainistered research grant program. Potential recipients of the matching grant research funds include all lecturers working in areas which WUAE is endeavori.ng to strengthen. Utilizing the research network, priority research areas will be identified for use of these funds.

3) EstablisiDent of collaborative research projects between BKS- B institutions and Agency for Agricultural Research and

Development, and the interchange of research scientists between these institutions.

4) Provision for a limited number of returned participants with M.S. or Ph.D . degrees to receive project-funded research internships

Publications , Research Materials: In Phase II, loan funds will be pDOvided to assist in pxocuring and maintaining subscriptions to a number of pxofessional journals -- the composition to be determined by the needs and priorities of the particular BKS-B institution. Working thxough the library network, a syste.m of exchange and sharing of accession lists among the BKS-B libraries will be established, and a mechanism for mailing requested articles worked out.

d. Incentives: Project grant funds are pxovided as incentives for staff to engage in meaningful research. Grant funds are being utilized due to the experimental nature of the incentives pxogram. Should the pxogram prove successful, it is expected that it will be made part of the DGHE supported research program. Such incentives may include: 1. An annual awards program which will recognize excellence in

published research among BKS-B institutions. The assessment of the quality of published research could be carried out by the research network (or a special committee thereof) or by a special outside panel of specialists.

2. Support for travel to international pxofessional meetings to present papers.

3. One semester or one year research sabbaticals, to work with colleagues at another Indonesian university, at an

Inter-University Center, or to support full-time research at their home institutions.

4. Networks

During Phase I of the pxoject, the network concept has been established as a viable approach to strengthening faculty capabilities. These networks bring together, on a regular basis, individuals fxom the BKS-B institutions

representing various disciplinary areas to accomplish specific tasks. After being formally established with PSC appxoval, the networks engage in solving specific problems related to their disciplines.

During Phase II, on-going networks will continue and be expanded . Closer integration with the pxogram of intensive in-country short courses will be pxomoted.

5. Commodity Support

The pxoject will be supported through the procurement of commodities essential to carrying out project activities and achieving project objectives. Major categories of commodities may include, but not be limited to : laboratory

equipment, laboratory supplies, books, reference works , and journals, including microfiche materials , audio-visual equipment , repxoduction equipment , data processing equipment, teaching pxogram materials, and experiment station equipment •

The selection of appxopriate commodities will be based on consultations with the Rector, vice-rectors, and appropriate deans and faculty members .

Requests for commodities will be reviewed and consolidated by the Central Project Office before being reviewed to the Project Steering Committee. Agreed upon commodity lists will be forwarded to USAID/Indonesia for appxoval and

6. Participant Aftercare

During Phase II a substantial number of project funded participants will be returning from the U.S . with M.S. and Ph.D. degrees. "Aftercare" refers to the ways and means whereby these faculty members may be most quickly integrated into their respective universities and faculty assignments and effectively engaged in teaching and research activities. Accomplishing this is a priority aspect during Phase II .

Project activities directly related to aftercare have been discussed in previous sections on education and training, technical research, and networks. More specifically, these include:

a. Locating senior technical assistance advisors at tlx>se universities having the highest number of faculty woo have received advanced (graduate level) training. A major responsibility of the technical advisor will be to give professional gui dance to recently returned faculty in initiating their research and teaching programs;

b. Participation in on-going and future networks , and the short course program;

c. The opportunity for a limited number of participants to do their graduate research in Indonesia. This will provide a basis for their re-entry and quick involvement in a continuing research program; d. Provision for a limited number of returned faculty members with

graduate degrees to receive project-funded Research Internships to serve directly as members of the project technical assistance teams on one year appointments;

e. The increased availability and improvement of classroom equipment and teaching aids, laboratory equipment, and library resources.

7. Strengthening BKS-B and its Member Institutions

All of the institutions associated with the WUAE project are members of the BKS-B consortium. The presidency of the consortium shifts to a different rector periodically through an elective process. Under the BKS-B umbrella, the

Indonesian Executive Secretary of the WUAE project bas assumed major

responsibility for oJ:ganizing short courses, assisting in the setting up of networks and arranging for their periodic meetings, as well as staying abreast of WUAE project/BKS-B activities. In Phase II, i t _{is important that provision be}

activities initiated with project assistance will be completely institutionalized within the GOI.

II. Project Responsibilities

Field administration of Phase II of the project will continue to be carried out thxough the Central Project Office in Palembang by the Chief of Party,

assisted by an Administrative Officer and a part time bookkeeper. Responsibility for the GOI counterpart funds will reside in the Office of Finance and Budget at the University of Sriwijaya.

An Indonesian Project Director, Associate Director, and Executive Secretary will assist in day to day administration and decision making. This will be supplemented through the participation of a Project Steering Committee, already established in Phase I , which will provide broad policy guidance. The PSC will be composed of the Directorate General or his designee, the Executive Secretary of the Agricultural Consortium (KIP) , the USAID project manager, the Chairman and/or Vice Chairman of BKS/Barat, the Project Director, and the Contract Chief-of-Party. The Director General or his designee will chair the PSC, which will meet at least twice an.nually .

The PSC will establish the overall policy framework within which the

Project Director and Chief-of-Party are to carry out implementation activities of the project . PSC responsibilities will also include an annual evaluation of the project, approving annual plans of work, approving contractor' s technical

assistance nominations, and reviewing participant selection. A less formal, but equally important, function will be to serve as a sounding board and advisory body to provide guidance as requested in the solution of problems encountered in program design and implementation. The members of the PSC will also provide liaison with their respective organizations to assure that project activities are consistent with GOI and A.I.D. policy guidelines and do not duplicate activities of other projects and programs.

The Chief-of-Party of the contract team will function as a counterpart to the Project Director and will be responsible for supervising all Contractor Personnel. This position should be filled by a senior faculty member from the contracting institution who has had prior administrative and professional experience in project implementation of an institution-building nature in a developing country.

The Indonesian Assistant Director and Contractor team members should be senior faculty members who have significant university research and teaching experience. They will have responsibility for managing the networks approved by the Project Steering Committee within their technical expertise, and

designing/evaluating short courses and non-degree traineeships. Occasionally , they may also be called upon to teach courses.

Under Phase II of the project, i t _{is expected that the University of}

Kentucky will continue to provide the technical assistance and management of the AID funded participant programs required by the project. Technical assistance staff will consist of Senior Advisors, International Education Specialists (IES), English Teaching Aides and short-term consultants (of both Indonesia and U.S. nationality). The IES category will include a limited number of research

•

•

For the BKS-B universities receiving intensified technical assistance, teams will be comprised to meet the specific needs of the recipient institution. Flexibility in the assignment of these teams must be maintained in order to address changing needs during Phase II. These team members, altlx>ugh assigned to a specific institution, will also be expected to share their expertise with other BKS-B institutions through participation in the networks, technical short courses and occasional short-term consultancies. In addition, short-term consultants both from the U.S. and Indonesia will be provided as needed, in areas which are not represented by the long-term team members. Such areas may include research organization and management; laboratory design, organization and management; curriculum design, etc.

The senior advisor assigned to a particular BKS-B institution will also serve as team leader of the technical assistance team assigned to that

in.stitution under the overall supervision of the Chief of Party. These team leaders will accept a substantial amount of responsibility for the detailed planning and implementation of technical assistance activities at each

institution, with the assistance of the Chief of Party. It is expected that the senior advisor will interact in planning of activities with the Dean of the appropriate faculty and with the Rector and Vice Rector as needed.

III . Monitoring and Evaluation

The monitoring and evaluation procedures initiated in Phase I will be continued . These consist of Annual. Reviews, an External Review and continuous monitoring of activities.

A. Annual Review

The project will be reviewed, in the 12th, 36th, and 48th project months of Phase II by a team composed of one representative each of the Directorate General of Higher Education, the BKS-B, the Project Director, USAID and the Contract Team. These reviews will be concerned primarily with the progress of the project in terms of quality, quantity, and timeliness of the inputs provided and outputs derived, and to insure that the project is operating in ways consistent with the overall goal and purpose statements. It is anticipated that the BKS-B

representative, prior to the review, will have made a concerted effort to solicit the views and recommendations of the participating institutions and will reflect their inputs in the review. Special attention will be given to the intensified technical assistance provided to the selected universities to ascertain that these major inputs are being absorbed and utilized productively at these locations. Modifications, as needed and agreed to, will be based upon these reviews.

So that DGHE may also evaluate the portion of the project being carried out in the U.S., adequate funding is provided to permit two representatives to travel annually to the U. S. for a period of approximately 10 days. This trip will. be scheduled in conjunction with the special 3 to 4 day project seminars to be held at the University of Kentucky •

B. External. Review

In approximately the 25th month of Phase II, an in-depth review will be undertaken with team members selected by the PSC. Those selected will be

IV. Cost Estimates and Financial Plan

A. U.S. and GO! Cost Sharing

U.S. assistance under the project will provide funds for participants (long and short ter:m plus supporting research funds) tuition, maintenance costs, fees , health insurance, books and supplies. The GOI will assume responsibility for travel costs within Indonesia and to and from the selected U.S. university, salaries, exit fees and any additional costs required prior to departure. These same cost sharing arrangements will be followed for any "sandwich" programs which take place. The GOI will assume all expenses related to training of staff

members in local universities.

Technical assistance (T .A.) costs provided by AID will include salaries, international travel, support costs and benefits, and funding in support of the participants within the United States. AID loan funds may be used to supplement long ter:m T . A. in- country per diem as necessary , and to proVide staff support a t the universities of intensification. Domestic travel and per diem for short ter:m consultants, as well as the costs indicated above, will also be the

responsibility of AID . GOI support to long ter:m technical assistance team

members will include housing, utilities, furnishings, in-country travel, per diem in accordance with GOI guidelines, and office space. Housing, utilities and furnishings will be arranged according to the rules of the Government of Indonesia.

The initial purchase of commodities will be provided by AID loan funds ( with the exception of basic laboratory equipment which will be provided by the GOI to the institutions of intensification under this project) , with maintenance and supply costs being assumed by the GOI.

In the following Illustrative Financial Plan, "Local University Support " is composed of networking activities, short courses, English language training, the "aftercare" program, and Bl<S-B operational expenses. Under this program , AID will provide costs associated with development and running of the short courses and networking activities (i . e. honoraria for developing courses, supplies, materials , and the cost of T.A . time). The GOI will s upply costs for the per diem and travel of participants in these courses. BKS-B support costs will be the responsibility of the GOI. The majority of the "aftercare" costs will be met under the U.S. loan component with the experimental types of research activities funded under the grant component.

Under the in-country Intensive English training program, T .A. and materials and supplies will be provided by AID with all other expenses (per diem and travel of participants, operating expenses, staff salaries) being the responsibility of

the GOI. U.S. English training will be treated under the same guidelines as the participant training component .

•

B. Funding Flow

Given the inter-twined nature of the funding within each of the components of the project between the GO! and the U.S., a smooth flow of both AID and GO! DIP funds is required if implementation is to proceed as planned. In order to ensure the timely availability of funds for short courses, networking activities, the Intensive English Program at UNSRI, BKS operational support costs and travel for long term participants , GO! DIP funding should be made available to the Central Project Office via the Higher Education Project Development Office (PPPT) of UNSRI . This will ensure that funds are available for participants from the universities when required , and allows flexibility in transporting participants, establishing short courses and networking activities, and coordinating all aspects of the program from the central administrative office witlDut having to rely upon outside support from the participating universities. Funds for the "aftercare" program will also be directed to the Central Project Office.

In- country per diem and travel costs for long term T.A. will also be administered from the CPO . Other funds, such as staff salaries, operating expenses, support for T. A. housing , furnishings, and utilities, costs of supplies , maintenance , and commodities will be included in the DIP budgets of the participating universities.

C. Illustrative Financial Plan

The financial plan contained in Annex II is illustrative and changes may be made to it by representatives of the parties named in this project Agreement witlDut formal amendment to the Agreement i f _{such changes do not cause (1)}
