Tcarried out in 1996 (LLI1) and 2000/2001 In spite of dramatic political, economic, and social (LLI2), sought to identify the preconditions changes, almost half of the LLI villages retained for and constraints on local capacity (defined the same level of problem-solving capacity as in as the ability to solve common problems LLI2. However, one quarter of villages, mostly collectively) and the extent to which state in Central Java, experienced declining rates of structures complemented or impeded successful problem-solving during the same villagers’ problem-solving efforts. In 2012, the period, due to deteriorating access to natural research team returned to the same study areas in resources, nascent signs of reduced reciprocity, Jambi, Central Java, and NTT, combining updated and unresponsive village leaders who did not versions of the qualitative and quantitative work in villagers’ interest.

LOCAL CAPACITY Overall, the constellation of problems LLI villagers PARTICIPATION IN ORGANIZATIONAL reported, and their responses to them, have LIFE changed substantially since 2001. Villagers now report fewer collective problems, but also As with responses to common problems, respond to a smaller proportion of those that households in LLI villages are participating remain. When they do mobilize, villagers less less frequently and less intensively in often find sustainable solutions. The declining communal activities. In the face of general rate of response is in part due to changes in the declines in organizational participation, however, nature of problems, with increases in the share women have dramatically increased their of overwhelming economic, service delivery share of total household participation and infrastructure issues reported.
