The municipality Talibura where the volunteer will be spending much of her time is a matriarchal community. Although it has a matriarchal system, women however are less regarded for community development. This could be seen in the family and community where women are voiceless and men are usually the decision maker either it is within the sale of their crops or community decisions. It is expected that with the presence of women community organizers or female volunteers, community women will be feeling freer to voice their issues and problems facing their families and communities and gender inequalities

The concept of collaborative watershed resource management has just been started in Indonesia and it is still at an early stage. Thus, still only a few institutions are adopting these approaches.

In Flores particularly in Sikka District mostly of the stakeholders are working independently and very sectorally. These stakeholders who have a common aims for the welfare of disadvantaged group don’t want to work together. Small NGOs and Civil Society Organizations are continuously mushrooming in the area and are potential partners for development of the local government. Due to very weak coordination and partnership with one another via horizontal and vertical networking this Civil Society Organizations usually come and go.

The Local Government of Sikka East Flores, Indonesia as an important partner government agency would help a lot a in the policy formulation and implementation for a collaborative watershed management. To ensure that the approaches will be accepted in a wider scale by partner stakeholders and efficiently be carried out to people, a support and partnership is badly needed and policy assistance would help a lot for the success of the program. A lot of important government line agencies and civil society organizations however, are still hesitant to support the program because of misconception of the concept of the sharing of resources and expertise.
The presence of a foreign volunteer that has an experience and exposure on a collaborative, participative and comprehensive watershed management program and as capacity builder worker is urgently needed.
