This article describes how seed funding from one major Australian University, designed to encourage interdisciplinary collaborations among academics, led to the implementation of a safe and sustainable energy supply at a community development project in remote Timor‐Leste. This article reflects on the process, the results, and insights developed during the project primarily from the point of view of the academics. A participatory process of co‐design was virtually impossible to implement due to time and resource constraints that barely allowed genuine collaboration between academics. The consequent nurturing of a social relationship between partners across borders, which would have allowed a genuine process of co‐design, was therefore not possible. Misunderstandings around the local context, tensions in understandings of timelines, and competing priorities all provided additional barriers to timely implementation of the development project. The final conclusion is that even with the best of intentions, if resource constraints do not allow the time and space to develop collaborative social relations and prioritize “process over product,” then genuine partnerships and participatory development have little chance of flourishing.

发展是如何进行的:安全和可持续的能源,社区发展项目以及东帝汶的实施挑战

本文介绍了来自一所主要澳大利亚大学的种子基金,该基金旨在鼓励学者之间的跨学科合作,如何导致在偏远的东帝汶的社区发展项目中实现安全和可持续的能源供应。本文主要从学者的角度反映该项目的过程,结果和见解。由于时间和资源的限制,学术人员之间无法真正开展合作,因此参与设计的参与过程实际上是不可能实现的。因此,不可能培育跨界伙伴之间的社会关系,而这本来可以实现真正的共同设计过程。对当地情况的误解,对时间表的理解紧张,相互竞争的优先事项都为及时执行开发项目提供了额外的障碍。最终的结论是,即使出于最好的意图,如果资源限制不能让时间和空间发展合作的社会关系并优先考虑“过程胜于产品”,那么真正的伙伴关系和参与式发展几乎没有兴旺的机会。
