Results of the study have demonstrated that (1) Efficient contracting concept encompasses economic constitution, government policy, public finance management and governance, and the functional relationship in the government body (Central, Regional and Village); (2) the essence of Efficient Contracting is the community active participation, legal aspect, government attention, balance consensus, effectiveness and efficiency, justice and equality, transparency, responsibility and accountability.
