ABSTRACT

In recent years, empowerment and capacity building have become one of the most ubiquitous phrases in sustainable development. The two notions, however, are not always in accord with each other. This paper analyzes the case of a kampung in North Jakarta which suffers from the shortage of clean water and the repetition of flood. By focusing on policy reactions during rainy season, I aim to show a ‘partial’ solution of the social problem result to a conflict between the two ideas, capacity building and empowerment.
