DISIMP SRI Projects
In 2002, under the Small-Scale Irrigation Management Project phases I, II and III (SSIMP-I to III) and its successor, the Decentralized Irrigation System Improvement Project (DISIMP, or SSIMP-IV), staff of the Japanese consulting firm Nippon Koei have evaluated and disseminated SRI in eastern Indonesia. A paper by NK team leader, Shuichi Sato, reviewing three years of experience with SRI, summarizes the results of comparisontrials by 414 farmers on 361.86 ha in 13 locations in two provinces (South Sulawesi and West Nusa Tenggara).

The results show an average SRI yield of 9.5 t/ha, compared with 4.93 t/ha in the comparison trials with usual methods, a 93% increase. This was achieved with a 20% reduction in costs of production and an on-farm water saving of 40%. The contrast between SRI and ‘normal’ rice plants is very evident

DISIMP SRI Videos: 
Decentralized Irrigation System Improvement Project in Eastern Region of Indonesia (DISIMP) included production of SRI instructional videos with technical guidance in English and Bahasa Indonesia, produced in 2007 (republished 2010 on YouTube. These were produced by the Ministry of Public Works and Victor Lee; directed by Victor Lee with substantial input from Shuichi Sato (DISIMP/Nippon Koei team leader) Victorgarlandlee channell, YouTube:

ADRA Indonesia's SRI Videos
The Adventist Development and Relief Agency (ADRA), a major international NGO working in West Timor with USAID funding, tried SRI in 2002.  Farmer SRI plots averaged 11.7 t/ha compared to the conventional comparison yield of 4.4 t/ha. These farmers were already more successful rice-growers than most of their neighbors since the average yield in that area is 2 t/ha. SRI use has spread rapidly there. The results in Lampung (Sumatra) were 8-8.5 t/ha compared to 3-3.5 t/ha. This experience with SRI led ADRA to produce a training video in collaboration with Victor Lee and Maya Rumantir, who also featured it on TV broadcast.

The danafastforward channel on YouTube now has several versions as of 2009 in various languages (all cut into 3-4 parts).
