Chapter 5. Conclusion and Outlook 5.1. Conclusions 5.1.1. We developed 14 types of IEC material, ranges from training modules (25 titles), training manuals (7 titles), book (1 title), DVD film (26 titles), radio broadcast (5 tiles), Posters (10 topics), Ballyhoo (4 types), Banners (8 topics), Leaflets (16 titles), Iron campaign boards (9 types), stickers (7 types), T-Shirts (3 model). We also published and distributed three editions of Lestari Desaku magazines. Total direct beneficiaries of the IEC are 30,000 people. 5.1.2. With reference to the results of KAP survey conducted at the beginning of the program, we designed most community training on the basis of ‘learning by doing’ (emphasis on practical work) principle. Trainings were not conducted in the class but directly doing the jobs on the field. During the course of the program in SE Sulawesi Province (60 months), there were 13,451 male, 7,429 female and 4,284 youth have joined our environmental trainings at village and sub-district level. The level of women participation is 36%. While during 6 months facilitation in S Sulawesi, there were 4794 male and 2857 female attended our environmental training. The level of women participation is 37 %. 5.1.3. We believed that sustainable environmental initiatives can only be achieved when enable to open new opportunities to local community livelihoods. NRM and RE initiatives will only be sustainable if they can enhance IGA or reduce poor household expenditure. Accordingly, we inspired and facilitated local community to develop innovative sub-projects which do not only benefit for environment but also supported site-specific livelihoods development. We developed 21 types of demo-plots: (a) mangrove rehabilitation; (b) catchment area rehabilitation and ecotourism development; (c) recharge wells; (d) fruit and cash crops planting; (e) energy saving stove; (f) cashew processing; (g) mangrove crab fattening; (h) virgin coconut oil (VCO); (i) fish aggregating device; (j) biogas; (k) organic fertilizer; (l) coconut shell charcoal briquette (CCB); (m) portable solar drier; (n) honey-bee culture; (o) king oyster mushroom; (p) straw mushroom; (q) vegetative propagation; (r) plastic waste handicraft; (s) fish chips home-industry; (t) conversion of generator fuel from benzene to gas; (u) garbage Bank. In SE Sulawesi, we established 31 demo-plots in Buton District, 17 in Muna and 19 in Kolaka Districts. In S Sulawesi, we established 7 demo-plots in Maros, 36 in Wajo and 7 in Tana Toraja Districts.
