This paper studies the sustainability of
early childhood education centers established under a
large-scale, donor-funded project in rural Indonesia.
Analysis of quantitative and qualitative data shows that 86
percent of the centers continued to provide preschool
services three years after project funding ended. Centers
balanced the reduction in funding by introducing student
fees. The paper estimates a series of logistic regression
models to predict center sustainability. Centers that
increased their share of expenditures on teacher salaries
during the project were significantly more likely to remain
open. Often this was made possible by centers altering their
mix of supplementary services provided. Centers that
provided higher quality care, had more complementary
services in the area, and had more parental involvement were
significantly more likely to be sustained after donor
funding ended. In contrast, centers with more substitute
services in the area were less likely to be sustained. There
is no evidence to suggest that distance to the village
center or nearest neighboring center was a major factor for
sustainability. There is also no evidence to suggest that,
while they were operating, closed centers catered to
children from different wealth backgrounds than those that
remained open. These results point to actionable lessons for
the design and sustainability of future development projects. |
