securing has been advancing in the world utilizing the capabilities of microorganisms. In addition,
development of new process of chemical industry and biological detoxification of biodegradable
persistent substance are expected to contribute the reduction of the load on the globe. Under suchcircumstances, “Culture Collection”: Indonesia Culture Collection (InaCC) which has function ofcollection, preservation and delivery of microbial resources, has been the foundation of utilization of
microbial resources in research, education and industry sector. Organization for Economic Cooperation
and Development (OECD) issued the guideline of Biological Resources Center (BRC) in 2007. Althoughmany countries plan to establish BRC with international standard for networking, research anddevelopment under above trends, there have been no internationally standardized BRC in Indonesia. The
biodiversity of Indonesia is well known in the world, though there was a concern that the loss of the rare
diversity by destruction of nature. By the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), management of
biological resources has become a national strategy of Indonesia. It is argent task for Indonesia toestablish a mechanism to conserve the rich microbial resources by promoting the collection, preservation
and utilization of microbial resources.
The Project for Development of Internationally Standardized Microbial Center to Promote Life
Science Research and Biotechnology (hereinafter referred to as “the Project”) aims at the promotion oflife science research and biotechnology for agriculture and industrial sectors. For the purpose, the Project
has supported the establishment of BRC and its operation by conducting applied research, databasedevelopment and capacity building in the concerned area. National Institute of Technology and
Evaluation (NITE) as a representative Japanese research institute and RCB-LIPI as a counterpart (C/P)
has been implementing the project jointly. Upon at the final stage of the project, the terminal evaluation
survey was carried out by Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) with cooperation of Japan
Science and Technology Agency (JST).

3. Results of Evaluation
3-1. Verification of Achievement(1) Progress of Activities
The activities have been conducted according to Plan of Operations (PO). From the beginning of
the Project, in general, the preliminary research has been conducted by the Indonesian researchers andfurther studies have been carried out by the Japanese experts for enhancement and validation. By theclose technical guidance and instruction, necessary skill and knowledge has been effectivelytransferred to Indonesian members. Currently most of activates related to the Output 2, 3 and 4 are
implemented without significant delay. As to the Output 1, although some activities are slightly
delayed due to the extension of the construction period of InaCC building and, all the activities are
expected to be completed by the end of the Project. As for the additional activities, the research for theii

growth of microalgae in the waste water of shrimp pond has been launched (RS-2). The candidates of
new taxa of mycorrhizal fungi were discovered through the sample collection and the implementationof further taxonomic research of the species is under consideration (RS-3-B). On the other hand,several activities under RS-3 slightly changed from original plan. Since the inoculation trial
implemented with Forestry Research and Development Agency (FORDA) had not derived expected
results, the Project continues the experiment with newly developed facility in RCB-LIPI aiming at
capacity building of Indonesian researchers (RS-3-B). Also a part of the analysis of functional genes
and the accumulation experiment have been abandoned due to the limitation of analytical equipment inIndonesia, however it has not affected to the achievement of outputs (RS-3-A).
(2) Level of the achievement of Outputs
Output 1
Most indicators of the Output 1 have been achieved at the time of terminal evaluation and theremaining indicators are expected to be achieved by the end of the Project. The activities under the
Output 1 are mainly related to the operation and management of InaCC. Although the activities has
started from the beginning of the Project, there is a slight delay in the implementation of activities fromthe original timeline because the activities have been transferred to the new building of InaCC from the
RCB-LIPI building after completion of its construction in September 2014. Since the commencementof the activities in the new building, the project members have accelerated the process of registrationof microbial isolates and so all the activity are expected to be completed by the end of the Project.
Output 2
Almost all of the indicators of the Output 2 have been achieved. The wide range of research
activity has been conducted under the Output 2. The research activities were carried out for the purpose
to enrich the national collection of InaCC. At this point, totally 4289 strains have been isolated andidentified. Nine hundred and ninety seven (997) strains have been registered as the public collection.
Members of this research group are currently making effort to compile information to prepare theapplication forms for the registration for the database. At least 2,000 strains which already registered in
the project collection will be deposited to the public collection by the end of the Project to achieve theindicators. As of October 2015, totally 4 papers were published, 3 papers accepted, 5 papers submitted
and 13 papers in preparation.
Output 3
Most of the indicators of the Output 3 have been achieved. Although some of the indicators have
not yet completely achieved, it is expected to be attained the target goal by the end of the Project. As to
research for bacteria, more than 50 strains which have beneficial function for agriculture andecosystem restoration were isolated. The accumulation experiment on ammonium oxidizing bacteria ofIndonesian soils had to be abandoned due to the limitation of facility, though the target of the activity
was achieved in satisfactory level as set in the indicators. Regarding research for fungi, 54 strains ofmychorrhizal were isolated and identified by the genetic analysis. Through the sample collection offungi in the forest field survey, the candidates of new taxa of mycorrhizal fungi were discovered. The
research group is eager to continue the implementation of further taxonomic research of the species.
Output 4
All indicators of the Output 4 have been achieved. As to animal gut microbiota of chicken, 60
strains are isolated and identified. Nine (9) of them are deposited to public collection and 51 of them
are in the process. The taxonomical study for 9 strains of 3 species was conducted by the researchgroup. Two (2) papers were submitted to International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary
Microbiology and 1 of them was accepted. Fifteen (15) candidates of probiotic were selected from 120
strains of lactic acid bacterium isolated from the intestine of chicken. Regarding gut microbiota ofcattle, 84 strains were isolated and identified. All of them are in the process to deposit to the public
collection. The taxonomical study for 6 strains of 3 species was conducted and several papers are in the
preparation. More than 200 strains of lactic acid bacteria were isolated from the animal feed silage inIndonesia. It is found that 8 strains have an antibacterial activity against colon bacillus. Datasets on
microbial diversity in intestine of chicken and rumen of cattle were obtained through the analysis by
the molecular biological method.

iii

(3) Level of the achievement of Project Purpose
All the indicators are expected to be achieved by the end of the Project. More than 2,000 isolates
have already been deposited as the project collection and those isolated are on the way to be deposited
into the public collection. At the time of the terminal evaluation, 1,098 isolates have been deposited tothe public collection (Indicator a). The procedure for application, authorization and distribution ofstrains deposition has been arranged (Indicator b). As to database, the data entry is in the process. The
database of the microbial resources which already published in the journals is open to the public andavailable for researches and development (Indicator c) and d). Regarding compliance of the
management system to ISO9001:2008, internal and external audits were conducted in December 2014
and no major violation against the quality management procedure was found (Indicator e). Although
the Project Purpose is expected to be achieved by the indicators set in the Project Design Matrix(PDM), it is necessary to keep in mind that the InaCC’s role as “internationally standardized microbial
resource center”. InaCC is required to continue the operation securing accuracy and reliability under
the procedure prepared by the Project and make effort to raise the degree of recognition of the centerby national and international partners.
(4) Level of the achievement of Overall Goal
The indicators of the Overall Goal are expected to be achieved in 3 to 5 years after the completionof the Project by the effort of Indonesian partners. The basic techniques technology of isolation andhandling of useful microbial resources have been transferred to Indonesian side through thecollaborative research between by Indonesian and Japanese researchers under the Project. The
Indonesian researchers have been acquired adequate skill and knowledge to conduct the application
studies towards creation of social benefit in the country. Also the microorganisms which isolated andidentified by the Project are expected to have high potential to be utilized for agriculture, environment
conservation, fishery and many other industries. Therefore, it is important to promote the collaborative
work with national and international partners after completion of the Project to create the social profits.
3-2.㻌 Summary of Evaluation Results(1) Relevance (High)The establishment of national biological resource center was the important intervention area in theIndonesian Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (IBSAP 2003- 2020) which was developed by
BAPPENAS. Also the Indonesian government recognized the importance of conservation of
biodiversity in the National Long-Term Development Plan (RPJPN 2005-2025). The Project aims topromote life science research and biotechnology in Indonesia for sustainable economic development ofIndonesia and improvement of quality of life globally in compliance with CBD.  InaCC has been
appointed to play roles on preserving the identified and characterized microbes that benefit for humanwelfare, technological transfer and dissemination in the National Medium-Term Development Plan
2015-2019 Book II (RPJMN 2015-2019 Buku II). The Project has assisted InaCC to serve theirfunction. Thus, the approach of the Project is deemed as appropriate. Also the Project is consistent withJapanese aid policy and JICA’s assistance policy for Indonesia(2) Effectiveness (Moderate)
The Indicator e) of the Project Purpose has been achieved at this time and it is found that the other
Indicators a), b) and c) are achievable by the end of the Project. The remained Indicator d) is tomeasure the situation of database preparation and utilization. The database has been established and its
online catalogue has been opened to the public. InaCC has distributed strains in the public collection to
the external users on their requests, though neither the database nor the online catalogue was utilized in
the process. As the system and procedure of the distribution have been set up already, the actual
utilization of the database and the online catalogue is expected to fulfil the indicator. There is highpossibility to achieve most of the indicators of the Project Purpose by the end of the Project, though
InaCC is required to continue its operation in proper manner prescribed in the operation manual andStandardized Operational Procedures (SOP produced and prepared by the Project. To upgrade thecapacity of InaCC and to enhance the function as an internationally standardized microbial resource
center, continued effort to improve its accuracy and reliability would be essential through theiroperation of the culture collection.

iv

(3) Efficiency (Relatively High)The quality, volume and timing of the Project inputs by Japanese side and Indonesian side wereadequate and led to achievement of outputs. For the achievement of outputs, Japanese experts havebeen dispatched properly and committed to the project activities with high degree of expertise. Even
though Japanese experts visited Indonesia with limited frequency, once a year or few times, the Project
members communicated by e-mail before their visit and made the short stay effective and meaningful.
Equipment has been procured according to the necessity of each research subject. These equipment
were procured and installed in InaCC building or Univiersity of Gadjah Mada (UGM). All theequipment was properly managed by Indonesian side. Training in Japan and other countries were
provided to enhance the skill and knowledge of Indonesian members. As of October 2015, totally 92
persons participated to the training and contribute to the attainment of the each output (In Japan: 69
persons, In other countries: 23persons). All these inputs have been effectively transferred into the
outputs. As to the input by Indonesian side, there was lack of budget for travel expenses for the
researchers to conduct field research in the begging of the Project. However, the budget allocation has
been improved and no major problem is found in input by Indonesian side such as budget allocation,
human resources and facilities at this time. Especially the budget allocation for InaCC building andactual construction contributed greatly to the achievement of each output.
(4) Impact (Relatively High)The Project established a foundation of microbial resource center and transferred technology of
isolation and handling of useful microbial resources to Indonesian side. The indicators of the Overall
Goal are expected to be achieved in 3 to 5 years after the completion of the Project by the effort ofIndonesian partners. The microorganisms isolated and identified by the Project are expected to havehigh potential to be utilized for agriculture, environment conservation, fishery and many otherindustries and expected to create the social profits. On the other hand, a remarkable impact of the
Project is the awareness raising for values of the microbial resources by Indonesian side. The
Indonesian government has recognized the necessity of microbial resource center to promote theutilization of microbial resources for sustainable economic development and improvement of quality oflife in Indonesia. For this reason, InaCC building with adequate equipment was constructed byIndonesian government. The Project largely contributed the process of the establishment of the center.
It is considered as one of the significant achievement of the Project.
(5) Sustainability (Moderate)
Political Aspect: Indonesian government recognized the importance of conservation of biodiversity
and utilization of microbial resources for sustainable development. Also sustainable operation of the
microbial resource center is put high priority. Thus, the related policy is expected to be continued
and there is no constraining factor securing sustainability from political aspect.
Financial Aspect: Indonesian government secured 125,458,861,000 IDR for the overall budget for
RCB-LIPI in 2015, of which 860 million IDR was allocated for InaCC. The budget is the minimum
for the operation and maintenance cost of the national depository. Since InaCC has function to
conduct research activities, depositing microbial resources, training, public awareness, and scientificservices, therefore, InaCC should seek more budgets to enhance its functions as national microbial
genetic resources center.
Organizational Aspect: InaCC obtained ISO 9001:2008 through RCB-LIPI. The documentations forthe application of ISO 9001:2008 were designed for managing the institution in systematic mannerand these documentations help to secure the sustainability from organizational aspect. Also toenhance organizational capacity, RCB-LIPI recruited 6 new graduates as the permanent researchstaff of InaCC in 2014 and appointed 2 permanent technical staffs to help the works on preparationand preservation of microorganism. The reinforcement of the staff system is a positive factor tosecure the sustainability from organizational aspect. On the other hand, it was observed the issue on
the procurement of the high quality consumables in proper timing due to the absence of suppliers inIndonesia.
Technical Aspect: Most of Indonesian members have been involved in the Project activities since thebeginning and accumulated the technology and knowledge including method for the experiment,
handling of the microorganisms and preparation of the papers transferred by Japanese experts.
Research Center of Biology (RCB) already has general training program to maintain and upgrade
the capacity of human resources, not specialized for InaCC.

v

Research Aspect: The researchers obtain regular research budget from integrated research program. In
addition, the budget for the research can also be obtained by several competitive funds andcooperation with national/international partners to secure the opportunity to conduct their researches
according to their necessity.
3-3. Contributing Factors(1) Good communication and coordination among the Project members
Japanese experts established a good relationship with counterpart researchers and that contributed
to the smooth implementation of the Project activities and effective technology transfers. Counterparts
were encouraged to participate collaborative researches and accumulate knowledge and skills
throughout the implementation of activities. In addition to the communication among the researches inthe each research subject, the Project assigned a project coordinator as a long-term expert. Since alarge number of Japanese experts, researchers and technicians have been involved in the Project (total
18 persons from Japanese side and 65 persons from Indonesian side), the coordination andarrangement by the project coordinator greatly contributed to the smooth implementation of the Project
activities.
(2) Construction of InaCC building
There is a huge impact of the construction of InaCC building. The visit of the policy makers of
BAPPENAS and LIPI to Japan in 2012 promoted the understanding of the necessity and importance ofthe biological resources center among the Indonesian decision makers. The construction of InaCC
building was completed and inaugurated in September 2014. The building has enough space to install
adequate facility and necessary equipment. The construction of InaCC building contributed to theeffective implementation of the activities under the Project and at the same time, the ownership andmotivation of Indonesian project members are increased.
(3) Long term involvement of the Indonesian researchers
Many Indonesian researchers have been involved in the Project activities from the beginning of the
Project and they did experience the collaborative research with Japanese expert. Since the knowledge
and skills have been accumulated in the each Indonesian member, their continued involvement secured
the effectiveness of the Project and prevented the loss of the experience in InaCC, resulting in building
a solid human resource base for InaCC.
3-4. Constraining Factors(1) Turnover of the personnel
Several members left from the Project for the study in abroad, the project manager and project
director were changed twice, respectively, during the Project period. It required time for the newly
appointed leaders to understand the contents of the Project and operation procedure set up by the
Project. The frequent turnover in the management position has constrained the leadership ofIndonesian side and management of the Project.
3-5. Conclusion
From the perspective of the five evaluation criteria, the relevance of the Project is assessed as Highsince the conservation of biodiversity and utilization of microbial resources are one of the high priorities
areas for the Indonesian government and the Project’s target is in line with the national development plan.
The effectiveness of the Project is deemed as Relatively High. The Project Purpose is expected to beachieved all in all by the end of the Project. The efficiency of the Project is assessed as High. Most inputs
that are necessary for the implementation of activities have been allocated as planned and the timing,
quality and volume of input were appropriate both by Indonesian side and Japanese side. The Project’s
impact is deemed as High since there is possibility to achieve the Overall Goal by the continued effort by
the Indonesian side. Also the external conditions have to be fulfilled. The Sustainability of the Project isassessed as Relatively High. The political, technical and financial sustainability is expected to be secured.
On the other hand, organizational sustainability remains some minor issues.
