There is a bridges that were damaged, at this time residents only use emergency bridge of wood and bamboo being reared by their own. The bridge is very important as the only way to Villagge Ngramban. During this condition relation with livestock community and aid from outside just disturbed. Our team played a role campaigns to local governments or network. Field Coordinator attempts to encourage the Head of Village Ngramban to report the condition to Sub Region of Ngantang, but there is still no answer.
There are some difficulties about data of benefaciaries. Data from early assesment is still rough, still have possibility to change due to assistance from government or other agencies. Changes in material bring impact to increases budget. However, data changes and the availability of funds is not yet known. Special pipe does not match with the specification, price and amount of needed by residents. Jerry cans are not ready within a week. About pipeline installation, wire steel is not available in Ngantang or Wlingi.
Facing that condition, Managers, Field Coordinator and volunteers will verify the assessment data in accordance with beneficiaries criteria. The discussion of selection involving village officials and local residents. Team will communicate regarding use of funds effectively, verifies benefaciaries that really need aid and search the best price offers. Team will looking for the best price from supplier with specifications as required by residents. Team agreed to choose the best material price because of urgent needs of residents. The priority paid is tile roof because it is tied with the supplier agreement. While galvalum and tin roof payment can be communicated with suppliers.
Residents have received tile before, had to adjust that type of tile that will be accepted match with previously received from government. Tile types of Mantili requires strong roof truss. Residents whom get types of Mantili suggested get a new and strong roof truss and need to replaced their roof truss. Situation in the 4 Sub Villagge Pait, Kutut and Munjung and Ngramban still require some relief in such sectors: roof of houses, roof of cages, clean water and agriculture. But our team need to pay attention again what sector has not been provided by government or any party, focusing on assessment and give priority to most affected residents. After determining the focus of the intervention, our team needs to complete data assessment and mapping resources.
In process of tile installation, time agreed after people manage their livestock and working in the field. In Pare, there are 2 people who have not signed the acceptance of tile, prepared by Field Coordinator, but he has had a receipt based on the pre-prepared form. Residents adjust that the type of tile received from government with tile received from our team. If the tiles do not match, they replace with tile received from our team. There are some people whose names are not listed in the list of recipients, but asking for materials. Residents use familiar nicknames that do not comply with the applicant's name. Once clarified, it turns same. This is because when tile is distributed, coordinator call the familiar name. Beneficiary's signature on the form have the same with other benefaiciaries. So, team coordinated with the Head of Village to repair data. There is a special request for a family of the widows, the elderly and people who have difficulty installing itself to involve neighbors in installing tiles.
While construction of pipeline, there is tendency every Sub Villagges control or want to have the same springs. This situation could make another village did not get the water. This potentially raise a problem if utilization not well regulated by involving all Sub Villagges. But the local government or Head Village does not play a central role.
Our team always involving residents and volunteers whom know situation of residents. So, if there are any problems or suggestions regarding the distribution and installation, can be communicated involving residents, Field Coordinator and volunteers. Solution chosen should be solved with participation of residents. Furthermore, if they still need support, our team will try to support aid in accordance with assessment data. About using name does not match, the receipt of aid that has not received a receipt and distribution of aid is incompatible with the initial assessment, solved by taking with clear criteria. ID cards use for residents in accordance with the recipient's name listed. Every recipients who have received aid must sign a receipt.
