The guide is intended for village government, village facilitators, NGOs and community organisations working at village level – and ordinary citizens. The guide emphasises overarching issues such as democratic participation, access to information, accountability and involvement of vulnerable groups in the enforcement of Indonesia’s Village Law, rather than technical details. It is intended to be easily accessible.
