Background and
purpose: SPEKTRA
was founded on 9 January 1996, and initially was the office of the
projects of Surabaya’s LP3ES. Because the projects had ended, and
because of the ineffectiveness of the government’s roles of
promoting people’s participation in development, notably in the
sector of people’s economy in East Java, a number of former staff
members of the LP3ES projects took initiatives to form SPEKTRA. The
organization’s purpose is educate people and develop their knowledge
and awareness about economic and social development; develop human
resources; and develop activities related to the people’s economy.
Area and form of
activities:
SPEKTRA’s main fields of activity are small enterprises/cooperatives
and the informal sector, which are supported by other fields like
environment, democracy, urban development, community forest, and
cattle breeding. The forms of activities in these fields include
study, research, survey, education and training, community development
and facilitation, and seminar, discussion and workshop.
Program: Since its inception, the
organization has carried out various training programs like training
on tempe (soybean cake) industries, entrepreneurship management, and
animal husbandry management. Also, it has implemented development
programs like the development of the informal sector, the development
of small-scale industries which produce (ATBM) woven clothes, the
development of democracy discourses, and other programs such as
metropolitan environment improvement, the development of the markets
for the products of small businesses, and management consultancy for
small entrepreneurs.
Publication: SPEKTRA publishes
Occasional Papers journal, and documents about the projects for the
development of democracy discourse in East Java.
Funding
sources: In financing its
activities, the organization uses the funds it gets from the East Java
provincial government, The World Bank, FES/WISO, USAID, GTZ,
SWISSCONTACT, PLAN INT’L, and Koperasi Setia Bakti Wanita Surabaya.
Membership and working
area:
