ABSTRACT
Housing provision in Indonesia just has been through a big shock caused by
the notorious Asian financial crisis in 1997. This saw the demise of the old
housing subsidy program. The housing market that was supposed to play an
active role as housing supplier becomes ineffective. A greater impact felted
in moderate and low-income housing sector. NUDC as the main player in
this sector has beared the consequences. In the mean time, forced by
democratisation movement in the country at the end of the century, the
central government applied a decentralization policy throughout the nation,
which shifted more authority to local government. This gives a niche to the
agency to gain more capital to construct affordable houses.
This thesis in general, describes the housing provision approach that takes
advantage of the decentralization process. Realizing their limited capacity to
accommodate the still emerging demand in housing, the central government
tries to encourage partnership between government agencies and local
government. NUDC has embraced this opportunity to gain external resources
so they can continue carrying out their mission.
Some may argue that partnering requires relationship techniques that can
be learned, it is not a theory or a model. However, in order to recognise it as
sustainable approach that can be replicated to a broader context, the program
should be carefully examined, starting from the theoretical framework to
final- result.
