LEGAL CONTEXT....................................................................................................... 71 I. SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS & ANNUAL WORK PLAN I.1. SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS 2 I.1.1 Context and global significance Indonesia comprises approximately 188 million hectares of land across seven major islands (Sumatra, Java, Kalimantan, Sulawesi, Maluku, Papua and Bali/Nusa Tenggara) under the administration of 33 provinces. Of the 188 million hectares, 132,667 million hectares are classified as forest-land (Table 1). Forestland comprises of conservation forest areas (10.49% of the land coverage), protected forest areas (15.90%), production forest (44.10%), and non-forest areas or other land uses (29.49%) (BAPLAN, forthcoming). The Ministry of Forestry's official figures indicate that forest loss and degradation are steadily occurring in the conversion forest (for the development of other sectors, i.e. estate and transmigration), although protection forests are also affected. Annual deforestation rate is approximately 1.089 million hectares (Buku Statistik Kehutanan, 2006). On average, Sumatra and Kalimantan ranks the highest for the deforestation rate follows by Sulawesi, Papua, Java and Bali/Nusa Tenggara (Figure 1). Land degradation takes the form of critical land and damaged forest (inside and outside forested land) including damage on mangrove forest. According to the Forestry Dictionary written by Winarto (2003), critical land refers to: i) a piece of land that physically lost its function as a medium for production or hydrological purposes (Kepmenhut 52/Kpts-II/2001), ii) damaged land that has lost and or decreased its function to a degree (Kepmenhutbun, 778/Menhutbun-V/1998), iii) land that is no longer capable for agricultural, hydrological and natural resources development (Kepdirjen RRL 16/Kpts/V/1997) and iv) unproductive land that no longer functions as hydrological support and soil protection, if meeting the criterion that vegetation covers less than 25%, and with the existence of surface and gully erosion (Kepdirjen 29/Kpts/V/1996). The estimate of total critical land area taken from the RLPS report (2006) is approximately 30 million hectares comprising critical land inside (19.5 Million Ha) and outside (10.7 Million Ha) forestland. These critical lands are mostly located on the islands of Java, Bali, Nusa Tenggara, Central Sulawesi, and parts of Sumatra and Kalimantan. Most critically threatened forest lands are located on Java and Nusa Tenggara. Table 1: Table of forest areas by forest category across the seven (7) main islands in Indonesia.

(Recalculation of Land Forest Cover in Indonesia year 2005) (BAPLAN, forthcoming). Figure 1: Deforestation rate in 7 (seven) main island in Indonesia (2000-2005) 3 Sources: Based on interpretation of SPOT Vegetation, Image with spatial resolution of 1 km, Forest Planning Agency, 2006 In recent decades, the clearing of forest, especially for industrial crops, combined with periodic droughts has created havoc with forest fires occurring on an almost annual basis across Indonesia, with particularly frequent events in Kalimantan and Sumatra. Whilst forests can contribute significantly to local, national, and global environmental benefits, human activities that cause forest damage – such as man made fires – can also contribute toward ecosystem damage and air pollution with impacts affecting neighboring countries. Although Indonesia comprises only 1.3 percent of the earth's land surface, it harbors a disproportionately high share of its biodiversity. It includes 11 percent of the world's plant species, 10 percent of its mammal species, and 16 percent of its bird species. The majority of these species are found in the country's forests. The country's three main centers of species richness are found in Irian Jaya (with its high species richness and endemism), Kalimantan (with its high species richness, moderate endemism), and Sulawesi (with has moderate species richness and high endemism). Currently the issue of land degradation has been absorbed in the Reduction of Emission from Deforestation and degradation or more known as REDD. UNDP together with UNEP and FAO is leading the implementation of UN REDD, and together with this project addresses the global challenges in the reduction of land degradation, deforestation and ultimately carbon emission. The GoI is fully aware that the current problems cannot be remedied through the interventions in the forestry sector alone. Efforts toward collaboration, inter-sectoral coordination, and capacity strengthening of local, district, regional and national stakeholders, as well as awareness raising on the importance of maintaining forest ecosystem functions need to be enhanced to reverse – or at the very least, reduce – the degradation processes, while providing for fair benefit-sharing mechanisms that benefit poor forest-dependent communities. Six watersheds with globally-significant biodiversity resources and varying sets of threats and pressures have been chosen as pilot locations at which to demonstrate solutions to these challenges. Key characteristics of these sites are summarized in the following table, and further detailed information is annexed to the Project Document. 4 Table 1. Sites Condition and Threats No. 1 2 3 4 5 6 Site Global significance Erosion and Sedimentation Population pressure Degradation of protected areas Biodiversity Loss Erosion is high with sedimentation level of 773,53 ton/ ha/year Population pressure is very high, each family manages 0.5 Ha in average Gunung Rinjani National Park, Grand Forest Park and Natural Recreation park have been degraded Serious threat to several endemic species The Mutis conservation areas was degraded due to encroachment The protected forest was degraded due to encroachment and land conversion. DAS Dodokan The site has a rich variety of forest types, including major protected areas Sub DAS Besiam Vegetation in Mt. Mutis area represents a homogenous highland forest, dominated by an E. urophylla ecosystem. The soil types are relatively prone or sensitive to erosion because of very limited vegetation cover Encroachment happens due to economic pressure. Livestock encroachment and uncontrolled burning of forests are major threats. Sub DAS Besai Sub DAS Besai has a high diversity of flora and fauna (existence of rare and endemic species) Erosion occurring mainly due to intensive farming systems. Since 1960-2000 forest lands were converted by settlers mainly for coffee plantations. Sub DAS Tulis Hulu Forest area in Dieng has high diversity of flora and fauna (many protected and endemic species). The site is represented by steep topography, in combination with high annual rainfall and hence possesses high risk towards land degradation and soil erosion. Pressure by massive land conversion into agriculture land (for potato cultivation) causing severe land degradation over the Dieng region. DAS Palu The forested areas of Lore Lindu National Park provide important ecological functions, assigned as “Biosphere Reserve” by UNESCO in 1977. Degraded due to change of its areas function become agriculture lands Intensive agricultural practices cause significant impact to the environment. The Toba Lake water catchment The DTA Danau Toba catchment areas is a national asset which has various functions such as a tourism destination, agriculture, irrigation, fisheries, water resource for electricity and water resource The area has a very high risk for erosion Pressure due to development of tourism facilities and opening new agriculture lands on surrounding slopes. 5 Currently, farmers are faced with water scarcity, soil erosion and reduction of land quality problems. The unique biodiversity of the protected areas is threatened due to encroachment. Biodiversity loss due to high encroachment Some of endangered species living in the protected areas was threaten due to encroachment The protected areas are degraded due to encroachment and bad farming practices. Encroachment leading to the loss of biodiversity Pressure from communities for access to farming lands threatens the protected areas Serious threat to the protected area with rich biodiversity due to encroachment activities for industries. Figure 2. The 6 (six) proposed location of CBFWM demonstration sites in Indonesia. I.1.2 Socio-economic context Indonesia has a population of over 240 million, demographically distributed across 33 provinces. The present population growth in Indonesia is calculated to be around 1.5% (year 1990 – 2000). However, in provinces where forested land is common, population growth rates are higher. 9 (nine) provinces have been carefully considered in selecting demonstration sites for this proposed project (Central Sulawesi, West Kalimantan, Central Kalimantan, East Java, Central Java, NTT, NTB, South Sumatra and Lampung), and in these provinces population growth is between 1.7% and 2.7% per year, with a population density of approximately 126 person/km2. The New Order regime (1966-1998) has pushed economic development at the forefront, thus allowing commercial companies to freely access the country’s forestlands for their own high economic benefits. This resulted in timber companies’ overexploitation of Indonesia’s forest resources. Furthermore, since forest areas designated as production forest have also been rapidly deforested and degraded, protected forests and other forest conservation areas then become the main targets for illegal logging activities. There is also a common perception that the disturbance to forested lands mostly comes from the surrounding local communities. It is only recently that people are aware that many local communities living inside and in the surrounding protected forests or conservation areas have in fact been managing these areas sustainably long before the government declared the area as conservation areas. The present government regulations on forest land classification are such that local communities now have limited legal access to these natural resources. Further restrictions on local economic development in that they have limited access to job opportunities at both state and private timber companies. This explains the situation where poverty is higher than the national average in heavily forested provinces. The current level of poverty across Indonesia is approximated at 17.8% (BPS, March 2006), where the poverty line is determined as income of Rp 186.636 per capita per month, or below of US$ 1 per capita a day. The economic condition of people across the proposed demonstration project areas is categorized as poor and with limited or degraded environment and natural resources in their 6 surroundings. People in most of the villages rely on natural resources, especially forest resources (timber and non-timber) for livelihoods. As population in the watershed areas across the nine provinces has increased rapidly, forest resources have become depleted and/or degraded. Recent information from the Ministry of Forestry indicates that degraded forest covers approximately 1.1 million hectares (2000-2005 condition, RLPS 2008). There is a link between poverty and forest condition. While in some cases, forest destruction generates financial resources to reduce poverty, in other cases environmental degradation becomes a determinant of poverty (Noordwijk, 2005, in Suyanto et.al. 2006). In many areas households may have access to less than 0.25 ha for agricultural production due to population pressure. In such a case, the area of land is not enough to support their livelihoods. Approximately 20 million people live around forest land, and 30% of them are highly dependent on forest resources. Despite a high dependence on forest resources, farming is the main activity in most forest-edge communities, with the dominant cash crops varying among regions, for example, coffee and honeybees in Lampung, bananas, jackfruit and vegetables in NTB, snake fruit, orange, and black and white pepper in West Kalimantan, potatoes in NTT, tobacco, paddy, and petai (Parkia speciosa) in East Java, etc. Some people develop a home industry and post harvest handicraft development as such ‘anyaman’ from leaf of Sago plantation in west Kalimantan, foods like dodol, rengginang singkong, and tenun ikat handicraft in NTB. Some communities use a home garden agroforestry system with various species of trees having different canopy characteristics, which can be effective in reducing land erosion. These activities, in fact do not damage the forest-area per se in that they maintain the soil and the plant species, but there remains the possibility of encroachment of cash-crops species deep into a protected forest area. Socio-economic characteristics of the pilot watershed sites are summarized in the following table, and further detailed information is annexed to the Project Document. Table 2. Site’s Socio Economic Characteristics No. Site Socio- Economic Characteristics Local communities, particularly people of Sesaot, have traditions to protect the forest from various pressures. They have a customary institution called “Lang-Lang” whose members are respected men customarily appointed to become forest guards. 1 DAS Dodokan Local communities have been managing lands surrounding forest areas as mixed gardens. However, the average size of the land owned by local communities in this area is relatively small (0.44 ha per household). The number of people in this area who live below the poverty line is 26.62 % of total population. Some villagers open forest lands into new agricultural lands as they could not gain sufficient incomes from the existing lands they manage due to weak marketing networks (middlemen still play critical roles while there is no cooperative or alternative micro-credit scheme for farmers), as well as limited skills in processing the agricultural products. Economic pressures and rising fuel prices have led local communities to return to the practice of using firewood for household energy. Many villagers sell firewood to middlemen who supply firewood to tobacco oven-drying industries in Nusa Tenggara Province. 2 3 Sub DAS Besiam Sub DAS Besai In the past, there were strong customary regulations that managed the collective use of newly opened agricultural lands in this area. These customary regulations, however, have been weakened due to social and economic pressures. Local farmers now open forest lands into new agricultural lands as they cannot generate sufficient incomes from the existing lands they manage due to limited infrastructure (bad roads, etc.), weak marketing networks (where middle men still play critical roles while there is no cooperative or alternative micro-credit scheme for farmers), as well as limited skills on processing the agricultural products. The cycle of swidden agricultural system practiced by communities has been shortened due to decreasing availability of lands and increasing population. Almost 65% of the local community works in agriculture (padi fields, husbandry, forest, fishing, etc). The population density is 150 individuals/km2. Local communities in DAS Besai mainly work as farmers and they have settled in this area since 1951 through the government transmigration program. Almost 64% of community incomes come from coffee plantations. Main agriculture commodities are coffee, pepper, corn and peanuts. The agricultural system adopted is 7 agroforestry with mixture of coffee with padi, chilies, or with trees (Agathis, Artocarpus, and other fruit trees). Farmers generated most of their income from planting coffee for about 3 months. During the remaining 9 months the main activity is cattle farming. Community Forestry groups have been granted rights (for certain periods of time) to manage forest lands. Local people in Sub District of Kejajar, Wonosobo District, established bamboo “cendani” plantations along the river to prevent soil erosion and maintain water storage. Besides providing ecological benefits, these plantations have provided economic benefits as farmers sell their bamboo to local handicraft industries. 4 Sub DAS Tulis Hulu Before the arrival of potato agriculture, local communities in Sub DAS Tulis Hulu managed their lands as mixed gardens, with timber trees, fruit trees, and many other plants. Nowadays, many mixed gardens have been converted into potato fields. Many local farmers own very small amount of land or are completely landless, having sold their lands to large potato growers. Potato’s lucrative economic benefit has led big farmers, private companies, and elites from various geo-political areas to invest in potato agriculture by buying lands and hiring locals to become wage workers in their newly established potato fields. Local communities of DAS Palu, including the area of Sub DAS Miu, consist of various ethnic groups. Some native groups still apply customary laws in many aspects of their life, including natural resource management. 5 DAS Palu 6 The Toba Lake water catchment Local communities of DAS Palu have been managing natural resources by applying traditional knowledge with the intention mostly to meet their subsistence needs. With the arrival of various groups from neighboring regions, these local communities have been adopting market-based agriculture. Cacao is the dominant agricultural commodity; other commodities are coffee and coconut. Market-based agriculture has been encouraging big farmers (in many cases ethnic groups from South Sulawesi) to acquire productive lands from native farmers. As some of these native farmers began to realize the economic value of their lands, they started to convert forests into new agricultural lands. Land is managed under communal systems, and the matrilinear family (“marga”) system influences the farming system. Each marga has their own land block and they are not allowed to sell them, though intermarriage allows some dilution of control. The economic condition is strongly influences by local community life styles. Local community livelihood is dominated by farmers and traders. I.1.3 Policy and legislative context 1.3.1 Policy context: a) Water Resources Water resource management in Indonesia is currently governed under the Ministry of Public Works. To address the issue of water resources management that has a multi-sectoral dimension that affects many sectors, including forestry, agriculture and regional development, the GoI established a Coordination Team of Water Resources Management in 2001. This team is headed by the coordination Minister for Economics, with day-to-day activities controlled by the Minister for Public Works. Team members consist of 14 (fourteen) government agencies, (including the Ministry of Forestry, Agriculture, Home Affairs, and Environment, and the National Development Planning Agency/BAPPENAS), as well as and non-government institutions (NGOs). The coordination team has been tasked with (a) formulation of policies related to water resource management, (b) recommending and drafting legal regulations and policies on water resources management, and (c) reviewing and evaluating policies, programmes and all activities related to water resource management. The team has established a secretariat with a steering committee, an executive team and separate working teams for water resources regulations, watershed regulation, water quality control and irrigation management. With the establishment of Water Resources Law (UU) No. 7 in 2004, the Coordination Team of Water Resources Management has since evolved as the National Water Resources Council, as this law requires the government to establish Water Resources Councils (Dewan Sumber Daya Air) at national, provincial and district levels. While the Provincial governments are in charge of the establishment of Water Resources Councils at the provincial level, the district governments are in charge at the district 8 level. Under this law, the National Water Resources Council should consist of representatives from various government agencies, which include the Ministry of Public Works, Ministry of Forestry, BAPPENAS, and Ministry of Health; and NGOs. This policy is further strengthened by Presidential Regulation (PP) No. 12/2008 on water resources councils that regulate the organization and arrangement of this forum. PP 12/2008 also stipulates that the main task of the National Water Resources Council is to assist the President of Indonesia in developing national policies and strategies on water resources management. At the provincial and district level, the council’s task is to assist provincial and district governments (Pemda Propinsi dan Pemda Kabupaten) in developing provincial district policies and strategies on water resources management. Other aspects addressed by UU 7/2007 on Water Resources Law include conservation/protection and utilization of natural resources as well as control of the water’s destructive capacity (daya rusak air). The substance of conservation and control of water destructive capability mentioned in the Water Resources Law is closely related to management of forest and watershed in upstream area. b) Watershed According to UU 7/2004 on Water Resources, a watershed area is a terrestrial area that is integrated with river and streams, with a function to catch, to save, and to flow water coming from rainfall to lake or sea, whose terrestrial boundary is topographical delineation while marine and coastal boundaries are still influenced by terrestrial activities. Chay Asdak (2002) characterized watershed based on its functions: i) Upper-stream area, mainly for conservation purpose and important for protection of hydrological function. The target of management is maintenance of environmental condition against degradation which can be indicated through the vegetation coverage, water quality, water storing capacity and rainfalls, ii) Middle-stream area, managed to provide social and economic benefits for people living in the vicinity, indicated by the quality and quantity of water sources, discharge capacity, water level, as well as its relevancy to water infrastructure such as river, dam, lake and ponds, and iii) Down-stream area, mainly for utilization purpose similar to the middle-stream areas but also for waste water management purposes. All activities in the upper-stream inevitably influences the down-stream areas, i.e. impact of water flow in the soluble sediment/materials content in the water. The Ministry of Forestry has developed watershed management policies since in the 1970s, which were implemented by the “Watershed Management Regional Office” (Balai Pengelolaan Daerah Aliran Sungai – BPDAS) - previously known as “Land Rehabilitation and Soil Conservation Office” (Balai Rehabilitasi Lahan dan Konservasi Tanah). BPDAS is an extension of the Directorate General of Forest Rehabilitation and Social Forestry (Ditjen RLPS) of the Ministry of Forestry, which operate regionally in Indonesia. The regional offices’ main responsibility is (a) to assist the implementation of land and forest rehabilitation development system, (b) to develop a model of watershed management institution in the area in which they operate, and (c) to actively engage in related activities aimed to improve the effective and efficient implementation of watershed management in the regions, including government-sponsored community forestry program managed by Directorate of Social Forestry of Ditjen RLPS. Ditjen RLPS has launched a program to be managed by BPDAS in each region, known as the development of Micro-DAS Model (Model DAS Mikro/MDM). The MDM is a demonstration plot of micro scale watershed management for an area of 1,000 hectares or less. It is a place to develop participatory management process of land and forest rehabilitation, land conservation techniques, ecologically friendly agriculture system, and development of grassroots watershed management institutions. The development of MDM is one of the main responsibilities of BPDAS. c) Forest resources 9 The National Movement on Forest and Land Rehabilitation (GNRHL = Gerakan Rehabilitasi Hutan dan Lahan) was launched by the President of Indonesia on 21 January 2004 in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The stage had been set for this when the three ministries of Social Welfare, Economy, and Politics and Security introduced a collective regulation in March 2003. This has encouraged coordinated efforts to protect and rehabilitate land and forest areas. This movement was implemented in 21 areas in Indonesia considered as degraded watersheds. Currently it has been extended in 282 other watershed areas, over a total of about 3 million ha. The aim is to rehabilitate the forests in these areas over five years using a US$1.4 billion Reforestation Fund. This fund is sourced from reforestation funds or Dana Reboisasi (DR) collected from each of forest concessionaires (HPH) operates across Indonesian islands. The Central government allocates a certain amount of DR funds under Special Allocation Funds (Dana Alokasi Khusus/DAK) scheme for the regional land and forest rehabilitation activities (Government Regulation PerPu No.35/2002 regarding Reforestation Funds). In the mid-1990s, the GoI established a community forestry program, called Hutan Kemasyarakatan/ HKm (Community Based Forestry). It was considered a success, that after being developed as a pilot project (1995 – 2007) in six districts in three provinces (Lampung, West Nusa Tenggara, and Yogyakarta), the Ministry of Forestry later designated community forestry working areas for each district in December 2007. This policy was further strengthened by SK Bupati (District Head’s Decree) on business permit for community based forestry to local forest community groups in each district. The GoI firmly believes that community based forestry can be an alternative to reduce poverty in Indonesia. In line with to Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), the GoI has set the target of developing 2.1 million hectares of community forestry areas by the year 2015. d) International The Republic of Indonesia signed the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) on 5 June 1992, and ratified the convention on 1 August 1994. It is within the framework of the Convention that the Indonesia Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (IBSAP) 2003-2020 was produced with GEF support. The IBSAP outlines a strategy and a set of actions designed to conserve the country’s rich biodiversity. The CBD has strong spirit of community-based biodiversity conservation and utilization. One of the strongest articles in this Convention in terms of community-based management is article 8j, which calls for each country that ratifies the Convention to respect traditional knowledge on biodiversity conservation held by indigenous peoples and local communities. In addition to CBD, Indonesia also ratified the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) on 28 August 1998. In December 2002, the GoI adopted the National Action Program (NAP) for combating land degradation. The NAP is part of the National Development Plan (PROPENAS). The Directorate of Watershed Management under the Directorate General of Land Rehabilitation and Social Forestry (Dirjen RLPS) is the GoI focal point for UNCCD, and plays a key role in bringing together information on land degradation, point of coordination for other ministries, institutions, NGOs, universities and research institutions. 1.3.2 Legal context: a. National Level: Indonesia has established a set of regulations adopting watershed management as an approach toward forest resources management. The Forestry Law (UU No 41/1999) is a revised version of the Basic Forestry Law UU No 5/1967, which explicitly mentions the watershed management approach. In implementing this law, Ministry of Forestry issued Decree (PerMen) No. 52 of 2001 on “Guidance on Watershed Management Implementation”. Some watershed management-related regulations provide a legal framework for community-based forest management. Forestry Law No. 41/1999 is the legal basis for Government Regulation (PP) No 6/2007 on “Forest Allocation, Forest Management Plan and Land Utilization”, later revised by PP No. 10 3/2008. The PP provides a legal ground for managing conservation forest, protected forest, and production forest through the integrated forest management system, known as KPH (Kesatuan Pengelolaan Hutan). At the same time, this PP provides a legal basis for community empowerment through village forest (hutan desa), community based forestry (hutan kemasyarakatan), and partnership (kemitraan). For community based forestry, PP 6/2007 is supported for its enactment by the Ministry of Forestry Regulation (PerMen) No. 37/Menhut-II/2007 on “Community Forestry” (hutan kemasyarakatan/HKm). This PerMen stipulates that for a license to manage state forests and protected forest - which include production forest, conservation forest, but excludes nature reserve and a national park’s core zone - to be issued, the local forest farmers group should submit an official application to the head of district or to the governor. Once submitted for approval, the District Head or the Governor will forward the proposal for the community forestry working area to the Ministry of Forestry (MOF). Upon issuance of approval by the MoF, the head of district or the governor can release a business permit on community forestry to the local forest farmers group. The permit is valid for 35 years. The Forestry Law UU 41/1999 also recognizes the informal law which governs hutan adat (customary forest) and hutan rakyat (privately-owned community forest). The two categories of laws reflect different land tenure arrangements. According to UU 41/1999, community forest is located in privately owned land, while customary forest is located in state forest. However, indigenous peoples’ groups claim that their customary forests existed long before the modern state of Indonesia was established. This land tenure problem has become the source of tenurial conflicts in many areas in Indonesia. The Law No. 7 on Water Resources (Undang-undang Sumber Daya Air) issued in 2004 was a revision of Law No. 11/1974 on Irrigation. It incorporated the previous Ministry of Public Works Decree (SK Menteri) No 48/1990 on “Management of Water and or Water Resources in the River Basin Area”, which outlines the management authority on water and/or water sources in river catchments. UU 7/2004 can also be used as the legal basis to facilitate the involvement of local communities in watershed management. Local communities’ participation in developing watershed management action plans, is a significant contribution to the success of the development of integrated watershed management in Indonesia. In addressing conservation needs, Indonesia issued Law No. 5/1990 on Conservation of Biological Resources and Ecosystems. UU5/1990 focuses on the conservation of natural resources both in-situ and ex-situ. In-situ conservation areas include national parks, nature reserves, and animal sanctuaries, while ex-situ conservation areas include botanical gardens and zoos. It has been intensively reviewed and is currently under revision, which process pays significant attention to the community-based conservation approach. One of the community-based conservation concepts being discussed is Village Conservation Model (Model Desa Konservasi/MDK). This concept is relevant to the SCBFWM programme in which with the establishment of MDK, local communities are allowed to utilize natural resources within the protection forests and conservation areas as long as they are managed sustainably. The long term objective of MDK is to increase and improve the environmental services as to ensure the long-term benefits of community living surrounding and inside the protection forests and conservation areas. b. Regional Level: It is important to note that the political will to conserve and utilize biodiversity in a sustainable way has not only been limited to the national level. After the decentralization law No. 22/1999 was issued, enacted and revised (as UU No. 32/2004), a number of districts started establishing their local policies on community-based forest resources management and biodiversity conservation. For instance, the District of Wonosobo of Central Java Province issued District Regulation (Peraturan Daerah/Perda) No. 22/2001 on “Community-Based Forest Resources Management”. Perda 22/2001 of Wonosobo states that “forest villagers” are the main managers of forest resources located in state forest lands, while the Forestry and Estate Agency of Wonosobo District (Dinas Kehutanan dan Perkebunan Kabupaten Wonosobo) would play a facilitating role in its management. However, as the content of this Perda was considered to be not in line with the Forestry Law UU 41/1999, this Perda was later annulled. 11 Having said that, not long after this annulment, a signed agreement on Participatory Community Based Forest Management between the State Forestry Company (Perhutani) and the Head of Wonosobo District was issued on October 13th 2006. Fourteen villages implemented this community based forest management scheme, and there are at least 8 (eight) more villages planning to develop this scheme. Other districts that have established Perda on community-based forest resource management are the district of West Lampung of Lampung Province, and the district of West Nusa Tenggara Barat of Nusa Tenggara Province. The Nusa Tenggara Province itself has issued Perda Propinsi No. 6/2006 on the implementation guideline toward community forestry (HKm). Meanwhile, the East Nusa Tenggara Province also established Perda Propinsi No. 5/2008 on integrated watershed management, which is the first watershed-related Perda in existence. I.1. 4. Institutional context Recently, reforestation outside of concession areas has been planned by the MoF’s Directorate General of Land Rehabilitation and Social Forestry (DGLRSF). So far, however, most of the forest and land rehabilitation has taken place in critical watersheds (priority I). But, a specific hierarchy plan of each watershed has been formulated by regional watershed management centers. These plans are made up of a macro-plan for the whole of a watershed, a technical plan for the rehabilitation of land and soil conservation by sub-watersheds, and detailed technical designs for reforestation and land rehabilitation by site. The plans are formulated with framework analysis to consider biophysical and socio-economic factors. In the past, the MoF began working on forest and land rehabilitation activities since in the 1970s, though they are now coordinated by the Directorate General of Land Rehabilitation and Social Forestry and its regional offices of watershed management (BPDAS). There are 36 of these offices, and their activities focus on planning, monitoring and evaluation, development of Micro DAS management (MDM), institutional capability for watershed management, and implementation of forest and land rehabilitation at upper watersheds where most critical lands are found. In conducting these activities, BPDAS works closely with forestry district office (Dinas Kehutanan) and with the State Forestry Company (Perhutani, for Java Island). These regional offices work to rehabilitate land and forests so as to increase vegetative coverage, increase the infiltration of water into the soil to reduce direct runoff, reduce soil erosion and sedimentation, and increase farmers’ incomes. They work with local people in priority watersheds and sub-watersheds to reforest protected forests, establish community forests on private lands, promote agroforestry and soil and water conservation techniques, such as terracing, grass barriers and alley crops, and install check dams, gully plugs, drainage improvement and infiltration wells. The stakeholders – government and non government organizations - are aware that rehabilitation efforts of degraded forest and land in Indonesia’s 16,782 watersheds (based on landsat imagery) will not be possible without people’s participation. Local community’s participation is crucial for combating forest and land degradation because the rate of degradation – about 1,089 million ha per year – is faster then the rate of rehabilitation – about 0.6 million ha per year, and the government alone could not possibly address this issue on their own. Therefore, the government has introduced an awareness programme to encourage more local people to plant trees, conserve forests and promote soil and water conservation, to encourage help of the local communities in combating forest degradation issues. I.1. 5. Threats, root causes and barriers analysis Land degradation in Indonesia is characterized by processes such as deforestation, soil erosion, and increased aridity. These result from processes such as unsustainable legal and illegal logging, forest fires, conflicts of land and resource tenure, illegal entry and conversion of natural forest as well as legal and illegal mining. An assessment study on underlying causes of the processes leading to forest and land degradation has shed some light on the matter, and it includes: 12 i) Economy based: large discrepancy between industrial timber demand and sustainable legal supply; inequitable distribution of benefits derived from forest resources (between external large investors and the local communities); local poverty level that often correlates to the low level of education within the local communities; ii) Weak law enforcement; iii) Lack of coordination and collaboration between different stakeholders and sectors of the economy; iv) Unclear tenure/spatial land planning In responding to the above underlying causes, the Community-based Forest and Watershed Management (CBFWM) is thus seen as a potential and appropriate solution. CBFWM can provide models that can be developed to ensure strong institutions, equity, increased awareness, and clear rights based approach. However, although similar programs or models already exist in Indonesia, they remain scarce. Furthermore, there is also an absence of replication and scaling-up of these scarce models. The main barriers against replication and scaling up – which prevented more widespread adoption of CBFWM are described in the following paragraphs: 1.5.1 Few examples of successful CBFWM Although there have been some successful examples of CBFWM in Indonesia (as well as some unsuccessful ones), the reasons for success can often be ascribed to particular local circumstances, leading to the argument that CBFWM cannot necessarily be generalized and applied to other ecological and socio-economic circumstances. Successful pilots have not automatically been adopted by government even though the success is recognized at field level. 1.5.2 Institutional inertia Support to the development of CBFWM represents a change from the “business as usual” scenario, and therefore requires action on the part of relevant government agencies. For example, instituting CBFWM may require modifications to local regulations, or adjustments to land use plans. However, the staffs of such agencies often have no incentive to initiate such changes. Furthermore, replication and scaling-up of successful CBFWM examples requires similar efforts on the part of local government agencies to assist communities in learning of those examples, and building capacity to implement similar measures locally. Again, no incentive exists for such action. 1.5.3 Local institutions fail to counteract short-term financial interests As many of the communities living in forested or partially forested watersheds are relatively poor, there are strong pressures (triggered by external individuals) to undertake activities that generate quick financial returns which are short-term and which compromise longer term economic benefits from sustainably managed natural resources. Where communities have strong leadership and institutions, such pressures can be overcome. For example, in Kalimantan Barat, Desa Berlimang has established a farmers group to patrol the forest and prevent illegal cutting by outsiders (triggered by proximity of Malaysian markets and demand for firewood from local industry). Similarly, in NTB increasing demand of firewood from the tobacco industry, compounded by misunderstanding of a new Ministry of Forestry regulation allowing residue of waste from illegal logging to be taken out from the forest, increased the rate of illegal cutting, but led to the establishment of community-based counter-measures. Also, where actions taken by one community (for example, conserving forest instead of converting to other uses) serve to benefit other stakeholders (for example, downstream communities or commercial enterprises that enjoy a more reliable supply of water as a result) there should be associated compensation, but this requires strong local institutions to establish and manage such a system. 13 1.5.4 Incomplete administrative coordination Administrative boundaries rarely coincide with watershed boundaries, and neighboring administrations (provinces and districts) may often have different land use plans or priorities. Therefore improved forest management may be possible only in a part of a watershed, which limits the environmental benefits that can be generated. This is complicated by conflicting land use planning among different levels of government. In many cases, land use classification by the national government does not correspond with the classification used by local governments, leading to uncertainty over the appropriate land use, which can be exploited by those wishing to manage the land inappropriately. 1.5.5 Limited legal and policy support to CBFWM National laws (UU) and local regulations (PerDa) are not always consistent in terms of where CBFWM is feasible, or what form it takes. For example, the Forestry Law UU 41/1999 clearly prohibits all commercial activities in “cagar alam” (nature reserves). But a number of districts, for example Wonosobo in Central Java and W. Lampung in Lampung province, have passed Perda (Regional Regulations) that supported CBFWM in state forests (which includes nature reserves). In the case of Wonosobo, the state owned forestry company (i.e. Perhutani) challenged the Perda in court on the basis that UU 41/1999 does not contain articles that support community-based forest management, thereby ensuring that their operations remain within the corridors of forestry law. I.1. 6. Stakeholder analysis Implementing SCBFWM project will require a multi-stakeholders partnership, including local communities. Previous experience in Indonesia has shown that conservation objectives could not be achieved if attention is not simultaneously given to community development (WWF-Indonesia, 2006). Therefore, the SCBFWM project should focus on achieving the MDGs objectives related to conservation efforts, in line with the seventh (environmental conservation certainty) and the eighth (global partnership-building) MDG objectives. Community contributions will be stronger if supported by individuals within the community who have experience and ability to cooperate or interact with other Parties (stakeholders) or stakeholders. Both community participation and community capacity building are essential for any development program in Indonesia. In addition, community capacity building which will be implemented through SCBFWM program is also promoted by the UN Draft Declaration of Indigenous Peoples Rights. Capacity building is one among seven rights of Indigenous Peoples acknowledged by the UN (Keraf, 2005)1. In this proposed project, stakeholders and MoF field staffs or officers will primarily be responsible for the implementation of this work, while the MoF at the national level will guide the process and play an integral role in its formulation. Other key stakeholders such as NGOs will participate and involved in implementing specific project activities at each selected sites and national level. A formal stakeholder assessment was undertaken during the preparation phase in order to: (a.) identify key stakeholders with respect to sustainable use and conservation of biodiversity of the project area, (b.) review the stakeholder interest and associated impacts on natural resources and biodiversity of the area, (c.) identify possible positive and negative impacts on local stakeholders resulting from the 1 Under the article 29 of this declaration, indigenous peoples have the right to be involved in developing the priorities and strategies for the environmental protection and conservation including the utilizatioan of their productive lands, territories and other resources. All measures are taken by the state to maintain and protect their land by acquiring their free and informed consent prior to the approval of any project potentially affects their environment. 14 project, and (d.) identify and develop opportunities for the project to benefit stakeholders and vice versa, to mitigate any negative impact either from the project or the local stakeholders. During the stakeholder assessment, stakeholder consultation activities also included succesive iterations with all relevant stakeholders, placing emphasis on particular groups according to their recent impact, current and potential role in biodiversity conservation and protection. The consultations were conducted throughout the preparation stage and included workshops, interviews, surveys and open fora with key representatives of local and national stakeholders, including academic and research institutions, NGOs, central, regional and local governments as well as the business sector. The project recognizes that community groups, customary community , farmer groups, and women groups are key stakeholders at the selected sites. Unfortunately, there has been lack of policies that benefit poor community groups and little attention has been given to local communities in terms of ways to fulfil their daily needs. This project will strive to empower poor people by increasing their awareness of land degradation and biodiversity loss in the watershed ecosystem that directly influence their sustainable livelihood to informing them on their rights to participate in decision-making processes and to influence their outcomes. Poor people need to be made more aware of their rights and to have them officially recognized by government and the private sector to facilitate this process. However, a rights-based approach on its own may be insufficient: the stakeholders must be supported by their capability to claim and defend themselves against more powerful actors. Clear constitutional guarantees, as well as specific supportive legislation and regulations are therefore necessary. Community organizations also need to be strengthened so that they can represent their constituents in a just and informed manner and lobby for the recognition of their constituents’ rights. The SCBFWM will also encourage other relevant stakeholders to participate in policy dialogues. It will also encourage all relevant stakeholder organisations to join forces and work together to influence government policy and steer it towards sustainable forest and watershed management and poverty alleviation. The key stakeholders in this project’s pilot sites are described in Table 2: Stakeholders and their roles in the SCFWWM below: Table 3 : Stakeholders and their roles in the SCBFWM project.

Support to project planing and implementation Business-as-usual scenario Under the ‘business-as-usual’ baseline scenario, efforts to rehabilitate degraded forests through programmes such as GERHAN will continue to be implemented in isolation from watershed management or forest biodiversity conservation programmes. While some progress will be made in each area, the lack of coordination and complementarity in approaches (even amongst different agencies under the Ministry of Forestry) will reduce the impact of each programme. Reforestation programmes that do not explicitly factor in watershed protection or biodiversity corridors miss the opportunity to generate multiple environmental benefits for Indonesia. At the same time, the continuation of ‘top-down’ centrally-designed and government-run reforestation and watershed management initiatives will limit the degree of community support and participation, reducing the impact on forest encroachment or conversion and limiting the long-term sustainability of the investments. ‘Business-as-usual’ in the CBFWM area will mean further ad-hoc attempts to implement management models at various sites, with no mechanism for systematic capacity-building or awareness-raising at the national systems level. The overall policy and regulatory environment for CBFWM will not improve significantly, and therefore any progress made at individual sites will be difficult to sustain and is unlikely to catalyze broader changes across Indonesia. At the project site level, the baseline scenario projects continued loss of forest cover, increasing levels of erosion and sedimentation and more severe fragmentation of forest habitat, including negative impacts on existing Protected Areas under threat. The lack of integrated approaches that recognize and account for community needs will limit the degree of local support for reforestation or watershed management initiatives, thus reducing the effectiveness of these programmes in addressing forest encroachment or land conversion. Forest encroachment, agricultural conversion and degradation of watersheds will continue – and likely intensify- as the declining primary productivity of lands under cultivation coupled with growing population pressures force households to burn and convert ever-larger areas of forest. Overall the baseline scenario projects a continued loss of critical ecosystem services such as soil retention, water supply and biodiversity provision, at both the overall national level as well as in each of the six targeted watersheds. PART II: Strategy 17 II.1. Project rationale and policy conformity In this proposal, the GEF assistance will be focused on funding the incremental costs of accelerating and scaling-up CBFWM. This includes lifting barriers to CBFWM aimed at creating an enabling environment at the local, district and national levels, in particular, in considering development needs and support interventions of the program at the local level. GEF support will also strengthen intersectoral and inter-provincial coordination, mainstream capacity development of key stakeholders and agencies and make use of - through effective knowledge management - the rich knowledge on best practices that are currently insufficiently shared. This includes experiences of national and international agencies. For example, ICRAF’s expertise on PES and land rehabilitation, and Center for International Forestry research (CIFOR) on valuable inputs to forest rehabilitation and community-based forest management in Indonesia. Other lessons will be drawn from the SGP and past projects concerned with forest and land degradation. The project proposed here is eligible for funding under: The Land Degradation Strategic Program 2: Supporting Sustainable Forest Management in Production Landscapes through its integrated approach in addressing appropriate issues of degraded forests in watersheds and is consistent with Strategic Objectives 1 and 2 of the Land Degradation focal area on (1) to develop an enabling environment that will palce SLM in the mainstream of development policy and practice and (2) to upscale SLM investments that generate mutual benefits for the global environment and local livelihoods. The project is also consistent with the Biodiversity Strategic Objective 2: To mainstream biodiversity conservation in production landscape and sectors. The Integrated watershed management would assist the mainstreaming of biodiversity in the policy and regulatory framework described as the Bio-diversity strategic program 4. Bio-Diversity Strategic Program 5 meanwhile deals with fostering markets for biodiversity goods and services such as those that will be created under Payment for Environmental Services of the watershed. Furthermore, the project addresses forest, land and watershed degradation in the wider production landscape as a complex, multi-stakeholder and multi-faceted process aiming for synergies between SFM, SLM, and biodiversity conservation to reduce threats to sustainable development in the selected critical watershed. One of the strategies to successfully strengthen community-based management of forest and water resources is to develop a model of watershed management and forest resource conservation that is initiated by local communities. Considering the forested and degraded land in Indonesia - distributed unevenly across seven big islands that are separated by the sea, and encompassing 33 provinces - the model developed for this SCBFM project has been selected carefully based on the typology of the sites. In concept, a model developed in one particular site within one region (province) should ideally be easily replicated in other regions/provinces. However, each province has distinct and unique characters - though in some cases there are few provinces share similar characters in several aspects, and in this project, these will be carefully considered. II.2. Expected global, national and local benefits The project will produce local and global environmental benefits within the context of sustainable development as well as forest and watershed management, through maintaining and/or restoring ecosystem services, such as water and soil retention, carbon sequestration and biodiversity conservation in the selected critical watersheds. The community-based management approach is to provide direct benefits to local communities. Reduced erosion and sedimentation and improved hydrological functions will help maintain agricultural productivity in lowland areas. Biodiversity conservation considerations will be incorporated into forest and watershed management through the following: Critical watersheds have been selected in the main centers of species richness 18 The selected watersheds are all part of protected area zones, so their sustainable management will reduce the pressure on the areas to be protected Threats to biodiversity have been identified and can be reduced through community-based forest and watershed management approaches Periodic threat assessments are incorporated in project implementation and results incorporated in knowledge management Knowledge barriers related to the effective conservation of biodiversity will be identified and addressed by the project Wherever feasible, forest rehabilitation will apply assisted natural forest regeneration practices Biodiversity conservation objectives will be integrated in watershed management strategies and plans Awareness-raising activities will emphasize the local, regional and global importance of conserving biodiversity in forest and watershed management Watershed zoning will consider biodiversity conservation needs Through knowledge management, information on best practices on community-based forest and watershed management will be accessible to communities and other stakeholders throughout the country to facilitate replication of the activities beyond the project area. Knowledge gained will also be packaged appropriately to be of interest to other countries with similar socio-economic conditions and threats to watersheds and the environmental services that they provide. The GEF funding will be focused on a strengthening community based programmes of CBFWM. The main impact of the SCBFWM project is to support increased flow of direct and indirect benefits to meet community needs. II.3. Country ownership: Country eligibility and country drivenness The IBSAP and NAP will strengthen the Indonesian effort to conserve biological diversity and raising concern, awareness of land degradation and combating desertification. Indonesia signed the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) on 5 June 1992, and subsequently ratified the Convention on 1 August 1994. It also signed the Kyoto Protocol to the UNFCCC on13 July 1998. Indonesia’s first communication to the UNFCCC indicated that 70% of its greenhouse gas emissions related to land degradation, inappropriate land uses, and land conversion. Related to this, UNFCCC COP 13/MOP3 hosted in Bali in December 2007 brought land degradation and forestry issues to a higher level where reduction of emission from deforestation and degradation (REDD) and adaptation for vulnerable communities has become an eminent priority for Indonesia. Since 1992, Indonesia has revised and enacted various laws and regulations that provide the legal basis for the nation’s sustainable development policy. These have included (among others): Law No. 23/1997 on Environmental Management; Law No. 22/1999 on Regional Governance; Law No. 25/1999 on Financial Balance; and Law No. 41/1999 on Forestry, each of which has its own provisions for enabling local governments to more effectively manage resources on a sustainable basis. Decree No. IX/MPR/2001 on Agrarian Reform and Natural Resources Management stipulates that natural resources management should be equitable, sustainable and environmentally friendly. A key law is Law No. 22/1999 that was replaced by Law 32/2004 on “Decentralized Local Government”, which devolved central government powers and responsibilities to local governments in all government administrative sectors, except for security and defense, foreign policy, monetary and fiscal matters, justice, and religious affairs. Local governments have to reform their internal structures to accommodate the huge increase in responsibility that has been passed on from the central government. The absence of a detailed plan for transitioning power locally and of supporting regulations to clarify the procedures and processes that need to be undertaken have been constraints to effective devolution. Capacity building is also needed to motivate and train local government institutions (and their designated officials) to take decisions into their own hands. One of the main objectives of decentralization was to promote better delivery of government services under a system of local government accountability. This assumed that local governments are more familiar with the needs of their communities than the central government, and therefore sought to 19 benefit the same groups of beneficiaries as this SCBFWM. However, it has proven difficult to make progress in many regions because almost all local interest groups remain weak and poorly organized, having been almost completely left out of the political decision-making process over the last three decades. Following the Rio Earth Summit in 1992, Indonesia prepared a National Agenda 21 that provides a blueprint for mainstreaming sustainable development into national development planning. Supplementary Agenda 21 documents were produced for forestry and several other sectors in 2000, and several local governments have also developed Local Agenda 21 documents. Furthermore, in related to the UN Conventions, Indonesia has demonstrated its commitment to furthering the objectives of sustainable land management and rehabilitation through several key national-level plans and policy instruments. The country’s medium-term development strategy is delineated in Program Pembangunan Nasional, the National Development Plan (PROPENAS) 20002004. PROPENAS, now called RPJM or Rencana Pembangunan Jangka Menengah, addresses a range of crosscutting issues, including environmental sustainability, gender, and poverty. The plan emphasizes improving the governance process, stressing the need for transparent, broad-based, and participatory decision-making. With respect to traditional development concerns, responsibility for social sector services is shifted to local governments in line with decentralization. Under PROPENAS, priorities for rural communities include diversification of agriculture, beneficiary empowerment, and implementation of programs to help disadvantaged, poor communities. It should also be noted that the GoI implemented the Convention to Combat Desertification/Land Degradation (CCD/CLD) through a National Action Program (NAP; 2002) which addresses the underlying causes of land degradation and drought and identifies measures to prevent and rehabilitate it. The NAP elaborates a joint plan for stakeholders at all levels of government (district, provincial, national, and regional), professional organizations, community-based organizations, non-governmental organizations as well as private business groups to combat land degradation and deforestation through the development and implementation of sustainable land management measures. The NAP is a key part of the National Development Program (PROPENAS), and needs to be mainstreamed into provincial and district development plans and strategies. The GoI is undertaking the following actions to implement the NAP: Analyzing impacts of national policy implementation for rehabilitating degraded land and controlling land degradation and deforestation, Integrating the UNCCD/NAP implementation in the process of implementing other related national policies, Identifying sector-specific activities, Mobilizing resources from multiple sources domestic such as: APBN (National Expenditure Revenue Budget), APBD (District Expenditure Revenue Budget), NGO funds, local communities and the private sector, and international sources such as international donor agencies and multilateral organizations, Promoting stakeholder participation and raising public awareness, and Bolstering capacity building of stakeholders including the NGOs and local communities. In line with the implementation of UNCCD, the GoI has carried out several land rehabilitation and soil conservation programs to overcome problems of land degradation. Measures taken by the Central and Regional governments involved several sectors such as Home Affairs, Agriculture and Forestry to overcome changes in land functions and combat illegal logging and large scale forest fires. A series of pilot projects have been carried out beginning in the 1970’s, including the National Reforestation Program (NRP) and Re-greening and Reforestation Project (RRP), Upland Agriculture and Conservation Project (UACP), Sustainable Upland Farming System (SUFS), and the National Watershed Management and Conservation Project (NWMCP). To be specific, since 2004, five main forestry strategies have been initiated that relate to combating land degradation, including: (1) Combating Illegal Logging and illegal trading, (2) Restructuring ForestBased Industries; (3) Forest Resources Rehabilitation and Conservation; and (4) Empowerment of Forest Community Economy and (5) Demarcation establishment of forest areas. Social forestry, which is considered an appropriate tool to generate income and improve the welfare of communities living within and surrounding the forest, is a focus of each of these strategies. 20 More recently, a Strategic Plan of Forestry: RENSTRA-KL (2005-2009) of the Ministry of Forestry has been finalized, which is in line with the Millennium Development Goals. The strategic plan focuses on: 1. 2. 3. 4. Poverty alleviation Multi-stakeholder engagement through a National Forest Program Implementation of SFM Accelerating forest rehabilitation and conservation of biological diversity In recognizing that revitalization of the forest sector must go hand in hand with social and ecological priorities, the Ministry of Forestry has redefined itself to focus on resources extraction and rehabilitation as well as conservation. This is a significant U-turn from an era which once emphasized only the national economic benefits of forest exploitation. In 2003, the government launched the National Movement on Rehabilitation of Forest and Land (GNRHL), which over a five year period will rehabilitate 5 million hectares of degraded forest area distributed over 200 priority watersheds in 32 provinces and 400 districts. The program is an essential element of the NAP and is implemented by a number of ministries working across sectors. More importantly, the GoI is seeking to develop a SCBFWM to strengthen the implementation of the NAP, IBSAP and other National action plan on the one hand and to capture global environmental benefits of SLM and SFM on the other, including promoting watershed ecosystem integrity, conserve biodiversity and promote sustainable management and use of forest resources II. 4. II.4.1. Sustainability Financial The Indonesian Government, in this case Bappenas/the National Planning Board, is responsible for all the existing departments’ developmental budgeting. According to the Government Workplan from BAPPENAS (Table 4. in the next page), the funding that related to the watershed management has increased from 662 Billion Rupiahs in 2005 to almost 13 Trillion Rupiahs in 2009. The most noted increase has started from 2005 to 2006, with an increase from 662 Billion rupiahs to 6 Trillion rupiahs, as there was revitalization to Agriculture, Fishery and Forestry, marking an increase of 10 folds from the 2005 amount. This has been maintained and increased in 2009, in the future the trend will continue to increase as the Special Allocation Fund for Forestry only has been planned to be 500 Billion rupiahs (2010, source: Ministry of Forestry, agreement between the People’s Legislative Council and the GOI). 21 Table 4.

Within the Ministry of Forestry, the budget for watershed management-related development can be provided by Directorate General RLPS (consisted of the Directorate of Watershed Management (Direktorat Pengelolaan DAS), Directorate of Land Rehabilitation (Diretorat Rehabilitasi Lahan) and the Directorate of Social Forestry (Direktorat Perhutanan Sosial)), other Directorates and Secretary General. Budgets available from each directorate will contribute to financial sustainability of watershed management programmes in Indonesia, including the relevant stakeholder capacity building. It is worth recalling that despite significant increases in annual budgets during this century, watershed degradation continues to be a problem. However, the barriers to sustainable management addressed by the project will ensure that in future this funding is expensed more effectively. For 2009, the Land Rehabilitation and Social Forestry Directorate (Rehabilitasi Lahan dan Perhutanan Sosial/ RLPS) of Forestry Ministry has budgeted around Rp 637,100,000,000 or approximately 63.7 million USD (note: 1 USD = Rp 10,000) for relevant programs and SCBFWM implementation supports. The budget allocation is detailed in the following table. Table 5.

Other directorates, based on valid information from their key persons such as Regional I, II and IV of Centre for Forestry Development Control (or Pusdal) have budgeted around Rp 136,008,390,000 (or equivalent to US$ 13,600,839). The Directorate General of Forest Protection and Nature Conservation’s budget of US$ 957,920 could be synergized to SCBFWM program. Furthermore, the upcoming trend of inflation in Indonesia is also anticipated, by increasing each program’s budget by at least 10-15%, annually. Meanwhile, budget sharing for national-level SCBFWM development would also come from other line ministries. The Ministry of Agriculture, for example, provides Rp29,250,000,000/year just to support programs on upstream watershed conservation. Thus, there are clearly substantial levels of government funding available to support improved forest and land management. This project will demonstrate how CBFWM can help to ensure that the funds invested in forest and land management are used most effectively and efficiently. The mechanisms to be put in place in support of CBFWM under this project are mainly no-cost, or low-cost interventions, such as CBO-based CBFWM fora. The main reason why they are not already in place is the existence of institutional and policy barriers that prevent their establishment and discourage their functioning. The project will overcome these barriers, so future CBFWM fora should be inherently sustainable, with limited financial resources required. Inevitably there will be some financial demands on future operation of such for a, but these can be institutionalised under the benefit sharing arrangements to be established under Output 1.6. Effectively, these benefit sharing arrangements will apply a small “tax” on revenue generation, which can be used to support the operations of CBO-based fora. Government participation in such fora can be supported through the existing government programmes promoting improved forest and land management. The development of community-based models of natural resource management (for forests and watersheds) is in line with the GoI’s strong policy emphasis on decentralization and empowerment of local communities in decision-making. The district decentralization (Otonomi Daerah or Otoda) process that has been underway for more than a decade now has progressively shifted fiscal and developmental decision-making authority to district and local administrations. Community-based forest and watershed management approaches fit well within this policy direction, and have received strong support and acceptance from the local communities involved. These models are therefore expected to be highly sustainable within the prevailing social and political contexts. II. 4.2. Ecological The ecological sustainability of this project will be assured through the elimination of threats to biodiversity; particularly those existed within the protection forest areas along the watershed. Protection forest within the watershed areas in Indonesia is normally in the form of nature reserves, protected forest, recreational forest areas, and national parks. The sustainability concepts within the scope of this project covers sustainable development and forest and watershed management through maintaining and/or restoring ecosystem services, such as water and soil retention, carbon sequestration and biodiversity conservation in the selected critical watersheds across the seven main islands All of these forms are of greater benefits to the local people contain some biodiversity and cultural values which is now being degraded, and in some selected areas have been severely damaged. II. 4.3. Replicability The project strategy includes specific measures to ensure that lessons and examples demonstrated through this project can be reproduced elsewhere. Firstly, the project will be collaborating with major, on-going Government programmes such as GERHAN and HKm. These major Government initiatives provide an existing, sustainable, and ideal mechanism for replicating and up-scaling successful models. Replicability will be promoted through several project outputs, including Output 1.8, Output 2.3, and Output 3.2. These Outputs will establish the institutional framework to permit replication and scale-up, and the technical basis for replication, respectively. To ensure that lessons learned on the success and failure of conservation/poverty activities are shared between SCBFWM personnel, regular workshops, seminars & conferences will be used as the medium to exchange and share information and ideas. The National Office of SCBFWM programme will also integrate these lessons learned into future plans of MoF and other relevant ministry towards to sustainability of watershed management. 24 Possible activities as implementation of lessons learned, as part of the replication process, are: Horizontal exchanges and internships to spread lessons across the nine priority areas; Vertical exchanges to bring together different levels and different categories of stakeholders; Wider horizontal exchanges and multiplication of lessons about conservation/poverty initiatives; Training workshops on monitoring & evaluation, strategic decision making, financial decision making, administration, proposal writing, logical framework and budget preparation; 25 I.2.

PROJECT BACKGROUND Land degradation in Indonesia is characterized by processes such as deforestation, soil erosion, and increased aridity. These result from processes such as unsustainable legal and illegal logging, forest fires, conflicts of land and resource tenure, illegal entry and conversion of natural forest as well as legal and illegal mining. The proposed “Strengthening Community Based Forest and Watershed Management” (SCBFWM) project is designed to enhance and scale-up the GoI's programs on community-based forest and watershed management, by addressing inequitable distribution of benefits from forest resources and lack of coordination among stakeholders and sectors, as major underlying causes of land and forest degradation. The project is specifically designed to complement a) the 5-year national pledge of approximately US$ 300 million to rehabilitate degraded forest and land distributed in 282 prioritized watersheds located in 400 districts (33 provinces), and b) the GoI's annually approved pledge – from the Reforestation Fund – for district reforestation. Implementing the SCBFWM project will require multi-stakeholder partnerships including local communities. Previous experience in Indonesia has shown that conservation objectives can not be achieved if attention is not simultaneously given to community development. Therefore, the SCBFWM project needs to pay attention to further pro-poor engagement linked to conservation. Community contributions will be stronger if supported by individuals within the community who have the experience and ability to cooperate or interact with other Parties or stakeholders. B. INCREMENTAL COST ASSESSMENT Business-as-Usual The involvement of community living around the forest in managing and conserving the natural resources has been very limited. Community involvement is more associated with supporting government initiatives than on forest’s sustainability. Collaboration between all levels of stakeholders is weakened by the problem of coordination, not only among sectors but also within government organizations. Current approaches to rehabilitating degraded forests and watersheds lack collaboration and coordination between different sectors and departments, leading to limited impact of initiatives on the ground and threatening the sustainability of the outcomes achieved to date. Strategic knowledge management is not part of any program so that existing knowledge is not automatically incorporated into project design and implementation and lessons learned do not lead to a continuous feedback for changes in approaches and practices. Most projects have more of a focus on how to implement activities based on the outlined program rather than conducting evaluation on the outcomes and outputs for sustainable impact. This means that current high levels of deforestation and land degradation in Indonesia will continue, and the poorest segment of society – that which lives in and around forests in the more remote parts of the country will continue to lose future development options. Under business as usual, in the absence of the SCBFWM Project, the Government of Indonesia would provide budgetary support to CBFWM of about $33,510,000. Global Environmental Benefits The project will produce global environmental benefits within the context of sustainable development and forest and watershed management through maintaining and/or restoring ecosystem services, such as water and soil retention, carbon sequestration and biodiversity conservation in the selected critical watersheds. Reduced erosion and sedimentation and improved hydrological functions will reduce land degradation. Biodiversity conservation considerations will be incorporated into forest and watershed management through the following:2 Critical watersheds have been selected in the main centers of species richness The selected watersheds are all part of important protected area zones, so their sustainable management will reduce the pressure on the areas being protected. Threats to biodiversity have been identified and can be reduced at each of the six identified sites through community-based forest and watershed management approaches Periodic threat assessments are incorporated in project implementation and results incorporated in knowledge management Knowledge barriers related to the effective conservation of biodiversity will be identified and addressed by the project Wherever feasible, forest rehabilitation will apply assisted natural forest regeneration practices Biodiversity conservation objectives will be integrated in watershed management strategies and plans Awareness-raising activities will emphasize the local, regional and global importance of conserving biodiversity in forest and watershed management Watershed zoning will consider biodiversity conservation needs Through knowledge management, information on best practices on community-based forest and watershed management will be accessible to communities and other stakeholders throughout the country to facilitate replication of the activities beyond the project area. Knowledge gained will also be packaged appropriately to be of interest to other countries with similar socio-economic conditions and threats to watersheds and the environmental services that they provide. Specific targets and indicators for biodiversity conservation impacts at each site are listed in the Project Logical Framework, Part II below. 2 49 Logical Results Framework The Goal towards which the project will contribute is to eliminate land and forest degradation in Indonesia. The Objective of the project is to support effort in reducing forest and land degradation in order to restore watershed functions and ecosystem services with the Outcomes being Forest and Land Degradation reduced and watershed functions and ecosystem services restored. To achieve this objective, three Outputs have been identified, which correspond with the three barriers to effective measure to reduce forest and land degradation identified above. The five Outcomes are: OUTPUT 1: Six critical watersheds with diverse ecological and socio-economic conditions demonstrate improved management using CBFWM Project costs: GEF: $4,115,818; Co-financing: $37,000,000, of which: GoI: $35,950,000; UNDP: $100,000; ICRAF: $750,000; Ford Foundation: $200,000 In the absence of the project, there would continue to be a lack of successful CBM models that are considered representative of the conditions in Indonesia. Although the GoI is committed to communitybased forest and watershed management, there are relatively few examples of successful models, and those which do exist tend to represent atypical environmental or socio-economic conditions. Without a number of examples of good CBFWM models, both communities and government officials at all levels tend to be skeptical about the chances for success. Furthermore, without successful examples of CBFWM, there is a tendency to “re-invent the wheel”, and to repeat mistakes encountered in previous efforts. This project will learn from the shortcomings of previous efforts to demonstrate models of CBFWM in the following ways: The demonstration sites have been selected on the basis of representativity of ecosystems and social systems that are characteristic of conditions leading to deforestation and land degradation in Indonesia. Barriers related to government acceptance of the results of models have been carefully analyzed, and project interventions designed to overcome these barriers The project incorporates explicit interventions to promote replication and scale-up Consequently, the project will develop and implement models of CBFWM at six sites, which have been selected during implementation of the PPG to represent a diverse range of environmental and socioeconomic conditions found in Indonesia. It should be noted that the level of GEF funding to support these demonstrations is insufficient. Therefore, GEF funds will be initially focused on few demonstration sites, supported by co-financing from the Ministry of Forestry and other relevant institutions. In order to secure this Outcome, eight Outputs will be required. These are: Activity 1.1: Establishment of functional management group for CBFWM, where participation of women and the landless increased at each demonstration site Lessons both from elsewhere in Indonesia and from other countries have indicated that an essential pre-requisite for an effective CBFWM model is a functional management group in which both community representatives and local government officials provide support to the development and implementation of the model. Indicative sub-activities required to deliver this Activity include: Assessment of existing institutional capacity of community-based organizations (CBOs) working for CBFWM Facilitate designing process of a socially-acceptable management structure Formal registration of the functional management group Targeted institutional and individual capacity building 50 Activity 1.2: Training and Capacity building to enhanced technical competence of members of CBOs for CBFWM, including women and the landless Technical competence of members of CBOs for CBFWM, including women and the landless, is a key contributing factor in developing CBFWM at micro level, starting from a piece of land managed by a single household up to an area managed by a number of households. Technical competence covers the following aspects but not limited to: land and water conservation techniques, participatory forest and watershed management skills, post-harvesting skills, community-based bio-monitoring skills, institutional management and entrepreneurship skills. Indicative sub-activities required to deliver this Activity include: Training needs assessment, with special attention paid to the needs of women and the landless Assessment of specialized approaches to training required to benefit women and the landless Participatory designing process of training modules to address needs identified in the assessments Planning of training activities, including the need for on-going and repeated training Training of trainers and dissemination on various technical aspects Implementation of training plan Activity 1.3: Development of Local participatory CBFWM management plan at each demonstration site Locally-developed participatory CBFWM management plan would be ecologically and socially appropriate, and would be able to address local problems and needs. This plan would also support the process of building strong commitments among members of CBOs and other local stakeholders in managing forest and watershed areas. Indicative sub-activities required to deliver this Activity include: Participatory assessment of current weaknesses, problems, and possible solutions Establishment of consensus on interventions required to address weaknesses and problems Identification of stakeholders’ responsibilities in implementing interventions Formulation of micro management plan of CBFWM by each CBO at each demonstration site Activity 1.4: Government recognition or endorsement (as appropriate) of CBFWM management plan in demonstration sites The level of government recognition, involvement and commitment is important in determining the likely success of CBFWM. Lessons from previous attempts to promote CBFWM have indicated that, whatever the level of involvement envisaged for government partners, successful implementation of the locally-developed participatory management plan arising from Output 1.3 depends on recognition or endorsement (as appropriate) by local government. Indicative sub-activities to support this Activity include: A series of communications through formal and informal meetings between CBOs’ members and government representatives Facilitation discussion on government recognition or endorsement (as appropriate) of CBFWM management plans in multi-stakeholders fora such as Forum DAS (watershed forum) Activity 1.5: Development of local CBFWM models delivering improved environmental services and increased income With a participatory management plan recognized or endorsed by local government, an effective model of CBFWM can be developed since CBO members have assurance in managing their areas. Effective 51 and successful CBFWM models will improve environmental services and will increase socioeconomic benefit. By having these two positive impacts, CBO members and other communities who have received benefits will continue managing their CBFWM areas in sustainable ways. Indicative sub-activities that contribute to the accomplishment of this Activity include: Facilitation of implementation of CBFWM management plan based on upstream and downstream approach Identification and implementation of specific environmental protection actions such as bamboo planting along the riverside to increase water quality and reduce soil erosion. Identification and implementation of specific measures to increase incomes without adversely affecting environmental quality. Possible examples include planting and management of multipurpose tree species and promotion of sustainably harvested non-timber forest products (rattan, fruits, honey bees, and others) Facilitation of participatory monitoring to investigate problems and challenges faced by CBO members in managing their CBFWM models and to identify potential solutions. Facilitation of participatory action research to evaluate CBFWM achievements. Facilitation of development alternative marketing, such as fair trade and green market. Facilitation of formation of local marketing institution or local livelihood connection center. Activity 1.6: Establishment of effective mechanism for equitable sharing of benefits and re-investment Successful CBFWM models will contribute to the improvement of environmental services not only in areas where the models located but also downstream areas. CBOs that have developed successful CBFWM models should receive incentives, either financial or non-financial ones, from Parties (stakeholders) who benefit from improved environmental services. Development of effective mechanism for equitable sharing of benefits such as payment for environmental services or crosssubsidy mechanism will motivate CBO members and other Parties (stakeholders) to provide reinvestment for the development of CBFWM initiatives. Indicative activities contributing to this Output include: Exploration of potential mechanism of payment for environmental services Facilitation of development of effective mechanism for equitable sharing of benefits and reinvestment Development of transparent process in managing sharing investment among Parties (stakeholders) that are involved Development of participatory monitoring on implementation of the mechanism. Activity 1.7. Communication media of examples of successful CBFWM and lessons learned from these examples Indicative sub-activities required to deliver this Activity include: Development and production of communication media of successful CBFWM and lessons learned Dissemination of above media Extensive promotion on the CBFWM media developed in particular site (dissemination of informative and attractive leaflets, local newsletter and electronic media such as radio, television and others). Activity 1.8: Fora of CBOs working for CBFWM provide basis for exchange of lessons learned and replication Fora for CBOs working for CBFWM are intended to become learning media among CBOs’ members where they can reciprocally share lessons learned from managing their lands, forests and watershed. 52 Successful models of CBFWM need to be linked to government initiatives to combat deforestation and land degradation, such as GERHAN and HkM. These programmes also provide an effective mechanism to promote replication. Therefore, establishing CBO fora will provide not only the basis for sustainability in the models supported by the project, but also create conditions conducive to replication. Indicative sub-activities required to deliver this activity include: Facilitation of participatory formulation of fora for CBOs working for CBFWM Facilitation of communication with local government so that the fora would be recognized and be supported Facilitation of meetings and comparative field studies for exchange of ideas and lessons learned OUTPUT 2: Governmental agencies provide support to formulate to the development of CBFWM initiatives Project costs: GEF: $ 1,187,818; Co-financing: $2,000,000, of which: GoI:$ 2,000,000 In the absence of the project, government support to CBM initiatives would remain weak. Strengthening of existing CBFWM models, replication and scaling-up of successful CBFM models needs political will and support from governments of various levels and governmental agencies of related sectors. In other words, development of CBFWM initiatives can be effectively continued in sustainable way if there is programmatic, technical and financial support from national and local governments. It is necessary to ensure that governments understand that CBFWM will reduce their overall costs in the long-term due to a reduced need to address environmental and social problems arising from poor management of natural resources, and that therefore investment in CBFWM makes economic sense. Furthermore, replication and scaling-up of successful CBFWM examples requires efforts on the part of local government agencies to assist communities in learning of the successful examples, and building capacity to implement similar measures locally. These efforts will be succeeded and sustainable if supported by governmental agencies together with other supports. In order to secure this Outcome, three main Activities will be required. These are: Activity 2.1. Generation of knowledge on CBFWM by trained government staff (at central and local levels) and the knowledge utilization to support CBFWM-related programs CBFWM has not yet received much attention in human resource development at government agencies, resulting in widespread misunderstanding (and often associated suspicion) about the concept. This Output will improve the level of knowledge and understanding among government staff. Indicative sub-activities required to produce this activity include: Training needs assessment Design and preparation of training materials and training courses Facilitation of trainings on CBFWM Post-training assessment and design of on-going activities to re-enforce training Activity 2.2: Implementation of provincial and district programs that support CBFWM Implementation of Community based Forest Management (CBFM) national policies that support CBFWM at the local level will be more effective if provincial and district governments establish programs that support CBFWM. While government officers who would be directly involved in CBFWM will be trained under Output 2.1, there is also a need to mobilize awareness and promote action among officials who are not directly involved in CBFWM, but whose support is required to ensure that local policies and plans are consistent with the promotion of CBFWM. 53 Indicative sub-activities required to deliver this activity include: Awareness-raising events for government officials at provincial and district levels on the need to develop CBFWM-supported programs Facilitation of participatory review of provincial and district development programmes to ensure consistency with the CBFWM approach Facilitation of development of long, medium, and short term programs of provincial and district governments that support CBFWM. Activity 2.3: Ensuring governmental incentives do not discourage CBFWM initiatives Provincial and district development programs should not create perverse incentives that encourage mis-management of natural resources. Furthermore, local government policies should not discourage local communities from developing, replicating, or up-scaling CBFWM initiatives. In some cases, especially in areas where there has been little tradition of CBFWM, it may be necessary to create positive incentives, at least in the short-term, but in all locations it is necessary to ensure the abolition of any negative incentives. Indicative sub-activities required to deliver this activity include: Assessment of the types of incentives that are in effect and which discourage communities from developing CBFWM models Review of existing regulations and measures to create appropriate incentives Formulation and endorsement of modifications to existing regulations and measures, based on previous review Establishment of a monitoring system to assess, on an on-going basis, the effectiveness of incentives to promote CBFWM OUTPUT 3: Coordination among and between different levels of government generates consistent policies and programmes that support CBFWM Project costs: GEF: $996,939; Co-financing: $2,250,000, of which: GoI: $1,850,000; UNDP: $400,000 Forest policy in Indonesia is mostly produced by forest related government institutions. At the national level, the MOF and at the regional level, the Forestry Offices have legal standing to make national and regional policies and programmes. At the regional level, policies are very much influenced by the local budgetary system. In many cases, differences in priorities between the national and regional levels result in possible conflicts. These conflicts may occur between sectors, e.g. between forestry and non forestry sectors, and have been seen in several locations. Coordination among and between different levels of government is required for better implementation of CBFWM in the field. In the absence of the project, lack of coordination among and between different levels of government would continue to pose a barrier to effective implementation of CBM. Incomplete or weak legal and policy frameworks would continue to hamper replication and scaling-up of CBM. Parties (stakeholders) that have developed CBFWM initiatives, including local communities, need to have security in continuing their efforts. Forest policy in Indonesia is mostly produced by forest related government institutions. At the national level, the MOF and at the regional level, the Forestry Offices have legal standing to make national and regional policies and programmes. At the regional level, policies are very much influenced by the local budgetary system. In many cases, differences in priorities between the national and regional levels result in possible conflicts. These conflicts may occur between sectors, e.g. between forestry and non forestry sectors, and have been seen in several locations. Coordination among and between different levels of government is required for better implementation of CBFWM in the field. Supportive legal and policy instruments at levels of government are significant keys that can provide security, including tenurial security. The case of forest farmers in West Nusa Tenggara can be taken as an example. They have been participating in a pilot project of government-sponsored community forestry program (HKm) for a number of years where they are allowed to manage state forest land. However, these farmers do not feel secure as they haven’t received HKm permit. They have additional problem as the forest area where they work has been 54 proposed as grand forest park by local government. Legal implication of this proposal is the forest farmers would no longer be allowed to work in the area. National legal and policy instruments that support local governments in establishing local legal and policy instruments in CBFWM are highly needed. By having such instruments, local governments would be more active in strengthening and developing CBFWM. In order to achieve good coordination, the required Outputs are: Activity 3.1: Review/analysis of where coordination is needed The decentralization of government in Indonesia has resulted in a situation where there are inconsistencies in many sectors between central and local government policies. Such inconsistencies frequently result in a lack of clarity concerning what is, or is not possible. For example, management of “traditional” forest lands (hutan adat) has been interpreted by some administrations as CBFWM, but government policy on this point is not consistent. Additionally, policy is often not consistent even at the same level of government across sectors. The result is a very complex situation, in which it is known that inconsistencies exist, but analyses of the impacts of such problems have not been conducted, and solutions are therefore not clear. Activities under this output will generate an analysis of where coordination is currently lacking. This applies both to coordination among sectors at the national and local level, and coordination within sectors at the central versus local levels. Indicative sub-activities required to produce this activity include: Analysis of central government policies related to CBFWM in all relevant sectors Identification of institutions responsible for implementation of policies and canvassing of the views of officials regarding the appropriateness of the existing policies Analysis at six sites of local policies within each sector vis-à-vis national policy in order to identify discrepancies Discussions with relevant local officials regarding the origin and impact of any discrepancies Analysis at six sites of local policies across sectors that relate to CBFWM Activity 3.2: Establishment of functional fora for coordination among and between level of governments The national government has recommended to regional government that coordination fora should be established covering issues such as CBFWM. This is in response to a recognition that governmentcommunity mechanisms are required for effective CBFWM, so that local and national policy can respond to lessons generated as examples of CBFWM are established. However, so far few regions have established such fora, usually due to the lack of clarity resulting from the policy inconsistencies to be addressed under Output 3.1. Some who have established fora are Central Sulawesi, and the Lake Toba water catchment area. Resolution of policy inconsistencies identified under Output 3.1 will allow the establishment of fora where they do not already exist, and the strengthening of fora where they have been established. Indicative sub-activities required to achieve this activity are: Identification of participants in coordination fora at each site Development of forum structure, functions and processes Organization of meetings to discuss policy inconsistencies Analysis of institutional arrangements required to ensure sustainability of the forum Activity 3.3: Development of drafts or new legal and policy instruments that will be carry out with participatory approach on CBFWM at all levels Comprehensive review and analysis of existing legal and policy instruments would help the project and related Parties (stakeholders) in communicating with the decision makers on the need to have revision on certain regulations and policies or to have new regulations and policies. 55 The project can provide technical assistance by facilitating participatory process of developing drafts of revised or new legal and policy instruments at all levels. Indicative sub-activities required to deliver this activity include: In response to weaknesses identified under Output 3.1, stakeholders’ views are sought concerning appropriate policy modifications Drafts of revised or new legal and policy instruments at various levels are developed through a participatory process Senior provincial and national policy makers are engaged in facilitating endorsement of revised policy documents Incremental Reasoning The GEF funding will be focused on a strengthening community based programmes of CBFWM. This responds to past lessons that community involvement is the most effective means to ensure reduced land degradation and deforestation. However, barriers exist that prevent these lessons from being mainstreamed. Barriers include institutional inertia, local institutions failing to counteract short-term financial interests, incomplete administrative coordination, and limited legal and policy support to CBFWM. GEF funding will address these barriers so that the additional models of community-based forest and watershed management developed under the project can be replicated and scaled-up. Co-financing The Ministry of Forestry will provide $41 million in co-financing, mainly through Watershed Management and Social Forestry programmes. This fund is not an extra fund added on top of the grant received from GEF for this project, but will complement it. UNDP will provide $500,000; Ford Foundation will provide $200,000 while ICRAF will provide a total of $750,000.

MANAGEMENT ARRANGEMENTS MoF holds the national mandate for UNCCD on assessment and application. This is in line with the “National Report: Combating Land Degradation in Indonesia, Progress report on the implementation of the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (CCD), April 2002”, which among others stipulated that the National Focal Points are the Director of Watershed Management and Land Rehabilitation, and Director, Bureau of Foreign Cooperation and Investment. The Watershed Management Directorate is responsible for the preparation of policy formulation, standardization, technical guidance and evaluation in the field of watershed management. This is reflected in the Natural Resources Rehabilitation and Restoration Programme (RPSDA) and Sustainable Utilization Programme of Natural Resources (PRSDA) of the Long Term National Development Plan (RPJP 2005 – 2025) and the Medium Development Planning (RPJM 2004 – 2009 and the coming RPJM 2010 - 2014). In implementing the aforementioned mandate, the Directorate of Watershed Management works closely with the Directorate General of Forest Planning (DG Planology) that carries out the Forest Resource Accounting (Neraca Sumber Daya Hutan) as an input for sustainable forest management. The Forestry Research and Development Agency (FORDA) will take the biodiversity and ecology consideration of integrated watershed management in a landscape context. In terms of general natural resources database system, the MoF collaborates with the National Survey and Mapping Coordinating Agency (Bakosurtanal). For the aforementioned reasons MoF is designated project Implementing Partner of the SCBFWM project. Under the mandate of Implementing Partner, MoF, its Directorate General of Land Rehabilitation and Social Forestry, Directorate of Watershed Management will execute the project on behalf of the GoI under the National Implementation (NIM) modality of the UNDP. It will be responsible for ensuring active cooperation of, and coordination with, the relevant project stakeholders, and for ensuring that all activities are executed accordingly and as per the approved Project Document and in line with the UNDP’s rules and regulations on project management, financial management and procurement policies, as stated in the Project Implementation Guidelines (PIMG). II. 1. Project Implementation guidelines As an Implementing Partner, MoF will appoint a National Project Director (NPD) who will ensure the delivery of the project outputs and the judicious use of project resources. This will ensure that the expected project outputs are delivered using the most efficient and cost effective implementation strategies, procedures, resources. Project management will be led by the National Project Manager (NPM), supported by a team of technical and operational staff housed within the Ministry of Forestry. Facilities and operational support for the project team will be provided by the Ministry of Forestry as part of its in-kind support to the project. A Project Board will be established and will comprise of the representatives of the project stakeholders (such as: Ministry of Environment, Ministry of Public Work, Ministry of Agriculture, BAPPENAS, Ministry of Finance, and Ministry of Home Affairs), MoF, UNDP, ICRAF and Ford Foundation. The Project Board will play the role of an advisory committee where the NPD will serve as the Executive of the Project Board. UNDP together with the UNDP-GEF Regional Technical Advisor for Land Degradation and Biodiversity in the Asia-Pacific region will carry out the GEF oversight that is referred to as project assurance. UNDP will be responsible for monitoring and evaluation (M&E), including organizing project reviews, project audits, approving annual implementation work plans and budget revisions, monitoring progress, identifying problems, suggesting actions to improve project performance, facilitating timely delivery of project inputs, and provide linkages to the other sub-regional, Asia-Pacific regional and global initiatives. All M&E functions will be carried out in line with standard UNDP and UNDP-GEF procedures. UNDP CO co-financing is accommodated in the Annual Work Plan with Direct implementation (DIM) modality and is assigned in Output 5.

Ministry of Forestry Coordination and UNDP Support Services Ministry of Forestry Coordination Directorate General of Land Rehabilitation and Social Forestry (DGLRSF) of Ministry of Forestry as executing agency of the project will act also as coordinating body in relation with other governmental and non-governmental organizations concerned for the smooth implementation of the project. Watershed Management Centre (or Balai Pengelolaan Daerah Aliran Sungai, BPDAS) is the technical executing unit of the Directorate General of Land Rehabilitation and Social Forestry, and it will be involved mainly in facilitation of coordination of project implementation at district and provincial levels. Institution in provincial government level such as Regional Development Planning Agency (BAPPEDA), Forestry and Agriculture Offices, and others will be facilitated by BPDAS from time to time. In the meantime, in District level, the Regent, BAPPEDA, District level Forestry and Agriculture offices and other related institutions including “watershed fora” would be actively involved in the planning and implementing of the project. This mechanism will synchronize and synergize the activities among sectors as well as their parallel funding in the project site to achieve some of specific project outputs and outcomes. As a Nationally implemented project, BPDAS role in SCBFWM will be as the executing hands of the Directorate of Watershed Management of the Ministry of Forestry, whereby the district level project activities implementation will be closely guided, however no funding will be directly channelled to local governments, and all funding expenditure will be managed by the Ministry of Forestry. The project will follow the DIPA for National Implementing Partner execution. 61 “Lembaga Adat” or customary communities as well as local Non Governmental Organizations (NGOs) would also be given an important role to support the project. Local people/communities will play an important role in a participatory or community based approaches which will be applied in planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation age of the Project. UNDP Support Services Provision of services by UNDP will cover the operational, administrative and substantive matters. The administrative and operation may include recruitment of human resources to International procurement for certain products and services upon request from the implementing partners to monitoring and evaluation of certain themes, and or mainstreaming, e.g. Gender Balance and Human Rights based approach. Whereby substantively UNDP will act as catalyst and facilitator to bring benefit to beneficiaries (CBOs and their coverage of certain number of households), and bridging between the National level fora and district level actions. The latter is made possible as there are many on-going projects dealing with community based initiative in the UNDP Indonesia’s patronage, such as the Global Environment Facility Small Grants Project, UN Joint Initiative in NTT, Aceh and Papua, UN REDD that will also focus in Central Sulawesi as its pilot site, Civil Society Organization Project by Conflict Prevention and Resolution Unit, Papua Development Project by Poverty Reduction Unit and Access to Justice Project by Governance Unit. These projects’ role hence is to enhance coordination and lessons learned sharing. United Nations Volunteers (UNV) also will act as relay people to the community, to assist the project in bringing the project objectives to and from the community themselves, as the volunteers will be recruited from the local youth and or as close as possible those young Indonesia professionals who are familiar with the local tradition and customs, and to stay amongst the community themselves. The effectiveness of the UNVs has been tested in the implementation of other UNDP projects in regards to for example dialogue and trust building between Government and Community, and or Community and other stakeholder groups. II. 3. Collaborative arrangements with related projects According to FAO (2006), the development of programs relevant to sustainable and integrated watershed management should have these principles, (1) give top priority to strengthening subsistence farming and implementing soil and water conservation; (2) use a mass-employment method of land development, if possible, in order to provide quick-cash for the affected community; (3) give incentives to those using the conservation principles on their land management – in this case, subsidies on credit/loan will be effective; (4) support quick-cash activities (for example, handicrafts, animal-feed improvement, and animal husbandry) during the farming off-season; and (5) intensify technical aids and information-giving in those areas unfamiliar with the conservation matters. Based on the FAO’s 5 principles, therefore, the CBWM programs have been, and are being, implemented by various institutions in Indonesia are complementary to the SCBFWM programs. The aim of SCBFWM in a number of proposed sites is to reduce forest and land degradation in order to restore watershed functions and ecosystem services, where the upstream-downstream approach will be very effective. Both the Directorates of Watershed Management and Social Forestry will put the community based activities as their main focus of this project, any social forestry models, such of community and village forests, will be facilitated by the project. Programmes similar to those which will be supported under the SCBFWM project have already been implemented in some places in Indonesia. Each has its own characteristics in the realization of sustainable watershed management. Watershed Management (WSM) programs being carried out in Indonesia mainly use the upstream-downstream approach, regardless of the existing administrative boundaries. In addition, it is expected that, during the implementation, those programs can be integrated into other programs done by various institutions/departments, especially those implemented in the same areas. Several community-based watershed management (CBWM) programmes adopting the upstreamdownstream approach and promoting PES mechanisms have been implemented in Indonesia. Examples are activities undertaken by USAID ESP Program in North Sumatra and in 3 provinces on Java and by WWF in Lombok, South Papua (Bikuma Watershed) and Aceh. In the meanwhile, ICRAF has been carrying out programmes in West Lampung, West Sumatra and Kali Konto. Similarly, the 62 World Bank has worked at Cidanau in Central Sulawesi, where they demonstrated the CSR mechanism. Other NGOs, have been working in Bengkulu, West Kalimantan and South Sulawesi. The CBWM programs put great emphasis on the program implementation, whereas SCBFWM is directed towards the community empowerment so there will be capable human resources for the program implementation. General lessons learned 1. The establishment of integrated watershed management schemes takes time for preparation and partnerships. Partnerships are critical to success. Without these, schemes can become a potential source of conflict, whereas a co-operative approach can reduce time and costs. Awareness raised of the scheme needs to be continued and done systematically. 2. The integrated watershed management process requires well managed community engagement, and the information provided to landholders surround watersheds before, during and after the process is critical. 3. Support from local and national government must be secured at the onset to ensure acceptability from other relevant stakeholder groups. It is important for the government to remain a supportive partner of the programme 4. Conservation as a project goal is meaningless to the local communities until the project outs translates positively to their well being 5. It is important to include local people who understand the culture and approaches of the groups who will be involved 6. Orientation and training are needed for all relevant actors and stakeholders toward to sustainability of integrated watershed management program Co- financing Co-financing for 5 (five) years on SCBFWM project implementation will be secured from a diverse range of sources. These are budget of relevant stakeholders for 2009: Table 6. Co-financing Budget for Implementation of SCBFWM Name of Co-financier (source) Classification Type Amount ($) Directorate General of Land Rehabilitation and Social Forestry (RLPS), Ministry of Forestry (MoF) National Government In-Cash3 41,000,000 UNDP Indonesia Implementing Agency In Cash 500,000 ICRAF International Organization In Cash 750,000 Ford Foundation International Organization In Cash 200,000 Total 42,450,000 Co financing indicated in the PIF was US$41 million. This has already been fulfilled by a full cofinancing budget of RLPS MoF, UNDP Indonesia, Ford Foundation and ICRAF amounting US$42,450,000 (see Annex 3). In the co-financing letter (Annex 2) the term “in-kind” refers to “in-cash” as stated in table 6. Under MoF, in cash type within the collaborative scope is all the government budget which is available to be disbursed throughout the MoF forestry program implementation. This fund has actually been budgeted by MoF’s for five years plan program (2009-2013), with the exception that it would not go through directly to the partner’s administration system once it is secured for collaborative activities, instead, it will normally be stated as “in kind” contribution. 3 63 Based on field survey and interviews with key persons of relevant stakeholders, such as local government officials, Directorate General of Forest Protection and Nature Conservation, Regional I , II and IV of Centre of Forestry Development Control (or Pusdal) of MoF, Ministry of Agriculture and NGO, there are potential co-financing budget relevant to SCBFWM programs for 2009. if indeed they are available, this would double the budget to US$ 42,450,000. The trend of upward budget for SCBFWM, based on the valid information from key representatives of relevant stakeholders, the budget will be increase at least 10-15% annually (in anticipation of inflation). Therefore, the sustainability financing for the next 5 years project will be secured. II. 4 PROCEDURES FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF PROJECTS FINANCED BY UNDP GRANT II. 4. 1 Scope of Work The government regulations on foreign aid fund disbursement stated below are for projects implemented by Central Government as most UNDP projects focus on the Capacity development of central government. II. 4. 2 General Principles Based on the applicable provisions for foreign grant management, the general principles that should be satisfied are as follows: 1. All state revenues and expenditure that are state obligations in the fiscal year concerned should be incorporated into the APBN. 2. The total or portion of foreign loan/grant amount stipulated in the foreign loan/grant agreement document (NPPHLN) should be embodied in the DIPA document. 3. In the case of determined APBN, the amount or portion of the foreign loan/grant amount should be embodied in the APBN-Revision. 4. In the case of a direct cooperation between UNDP and a non-governmental organization, the grant aid should not be provided through the mechanism of the state budget but rather directly between UNDP and the said organization. Thus, the channelling of grant aid funds to the non-governmental organization will not be recorded as state revenue. 5. In the case of a direct cooperation between UNDP and another UN agency and not to be further “sub contracted”, the grant aid shall be reported as grant aid included in the state budget but may or may not be channelled through state mechanisms depending on the policies and procedures of the UN agency concerned as applicable in such cases Based on the above, it is concluded that the management of foreign loan/grant to the government should be recorded in the APBN mechanism. The advantages of such recording include the following: Access to the Tax exemption facility for implementation of government activities that in part or in whole are funded by the foreign grant. UNDP’s grant can be recorded as government revenue in APBN. II. 5. AUDIT ARRANGEMENTS The Government will provide the UNDP Resident Representative with certified periodic financial statements, and with an annual audit of the financial statements relating to the status of UNDP (including GEF) funds according to the established procedures set out in the Programming and Finance manuals. The Audit will be conducted by the legally recognized auditor of the Government, or by a commercial auditor engaged by the Government. Agreement on intellectual property rights and use of logo on the project’s deliverables will be prepared and develop by the Project Management Unit for the decision of the Project Board. 64 III. MONITORING FRAMEWORK AND EVALUATION Project monitoring and evaluation will be conducted in accordance with established UNDP and GEF procedures by the project team and the UNDP Country Office (UNDP-CO) in Indonesia with support from UNDP/GEF Regional Centre in Bangkok (RCB). The Logical Framework Matrix provides impact and outcome indicators for project implementation along with their corresponding means of verification. The M&E plan includes: inception report, project implementation reviews, quarterly operational reports, a mid-term and final evaluation, etc. The project's Monitoring and Evaluation Plan will be presented and finalized at the Project's Inception Meeting following a collective fine-tuning of indicators, means of verification, and the full definition of project staff M&E responsibilities. III.1 Project inception phase A Project Inception Workshop will be conducted with the full project team, relevant government counterparts, co-financing partners, the UNDP-CO and representation from the UNDP-GEF Regional Centre, as well as UNDP-GEF (HQs) as appropriate. A fundamental objective of this Inception Workshop will be to assist the project team to understand and take ownership of the project’s goals and objectives, as well as finalize preparation of the project's first annual work plan on the basis of the project's logframe matrix. This will include reviewing the logframe (indicators, means of verification, assumptions), imparting additional detail as needed, and on the basis of this exercise finalize the Annual Work Plan (AWP) with precise and measurable performance indicators, and in a manner consistent with the expected outcomes for the project. The purpose and objective of the Inception Workshop (IW) will be to: (i) introduce project staff with the UNDP-GEF expanded team which will support the project during its implementation, namely the CO and responsible Regional Coordinating Unit staff; (ii) detail the roles, support services and complementary responsibilities of UNDP-CO and RCB staff vis à vis the project team; (iii) provide a detailed overview of UNDP-GEF reporting and monitoring and evaluation (M&E) requirements, with particular emphasis on the Annual Project Implementation Reviews (PIRs) and related documentation, as well as mid-term and final evaluations. Equally, the IW will provide an opportunity to inform the project team on UNDP project related budgetary planning, budget reviews, and mandatory budget rephasings. The IW will also provide an opportunity for all Parties (stakeholders) to understand their roles, functions, and responsibilities within the project's decision-making structures, including reporting and communication lines, and conflict resolution mechanisms. The Terms of Reference for project staff and decision-making structures will be discussed again, as needed in order to clarify for all, each party’s responsibilities during the project's implementation phase. III.2 Monitoring responsibilities and events A detailed schedule of project reviews meetings will be developed by the project management, in consultation with project implementation partners and stakeholder representatives and incorporated in the Project Inception Report. Such a schedule will include: (i) tentative time frames for Steering Committee Meetings, or other relevant advisory and/or coordination mechanisms and (ii) project related Monitoring and Evaluation activities. Day to day monitoring of implementation progress will be the responsibility of the Project Manager based on the project's Annual Work Plan and its indicators. The Project Team will inform the UNDP-CO of any delays or difficulties faced during implementation so that the appropriate support or corrective measures can be adopted in a timely and remedial fashion. The Project Manager will fine-tune the progress and performance/impact indicators of the project in consultation with the full project team at the Inception Workshop with support from UNDP-CO and assisted by the UNDP-GEF at the RCB. Specific targets for the first year implementation progress indicators together with their means of verification will be developed at this Workshop. These will be used to assess whether implementation is 65 proceeding at the intended pace and in the right direction and will form part of the Annual Work Plan. The local implementing agencies will also take part in the Inception Workshop in which a common vision of overall project goals will be established. Targets and indicators for subsequent years would be defined annually as part of the internal evaluation and planning processes undertaken by the project team. Periodic monitoring of implementation progress will be undertaken by the UNDP-CO through quarterly meetings with the project local implementation group, or more frequently as deemed necessary. This will allow Parties (stakeholders) to take stock and to troubleshoot any problems pertaining to the project in a timely fashion to ensure smooth implementation of project activities. UNDP Country Offices and UNDP-GEF as appropriate, will conduct yearly visits to projects that have field sites, or more often based on an agreed upon scheduled to be detailed in the project's Inception Report/Annual Work Plan to assess first hand project progress. Any other member of the Steering Committee can also accompany, as decided by the PSC. A Field Visit Report will be prepared by the CO and circulated no less than one month after the visit to the project team, all PSC members, and UNDP-GEF. Annual Monitoring will be ensured by means of the project Steering Committee (PSC) meetings4 being the highest policy-level meeting of the Parties (stakeholders) directly involved in the implementation of a project. PSC meetings will be held at least once every year. The first such meeting will be held within the first twelve months of the start of full implementation. The project implementation team will prepare a harmonized Annual Project Report and Project Implementation Review (APR/PIR) and submit it to UNDP-CO and the UNDP-GEF regional office at least two weeks prior to the PSC for review and comments. The APR/PIR will be used as one of the basic documents for discussions in the PSC meeting. The project proponent will present the APR to the SC, highlighting policy issues and recommendations for the decision of the PSC members. The project proponent also informs the participants of any agreement reached by stakeholders during the APR/PIR preparation on how to resolve operational issues. Separate reviews of each project component may also be conducted if necessary. III.3 Project monitoring reporting The Project Manager in conjunction with the UNDP-GEF extended team will be responsible for the preparation and submission of the following reports that form part of the monitoring process. A Project Inception Report will be prepared immediately following the Inception Workshop. It will include a detailed First Year Work Plan divided in quarterly time-frames detailing the activities and progress indicators that will guide implementation during the first year of the project. This Work Plan would include the dates of specific field visits, support missions from the UNDP-CO or the Regional Centre in Bangkok or consultants, as well as time-frames for meetings of the project's decision making structures. The Report will also include the detailed project budget for the first full year of implementation, prepared on the basis of the Annual Work Plan, and including any monitoring and evaluation requirements to effectively measure project performance during the targeted 12 months time-frame. The Inception Report will include a more detailed narrative on the institutional roles, responsibilities, coordinating actions and feedback mechanisms of project related partners. In addition, a section will be included on progress to date on project establishment and start-up activities and an update of any changed external conditions that may effect project implementation. When finalized the report will be circulated to project counterparts who will be given a period of one calendar month in which to respond with comments or queries. Prior to this circulation of the IR, the UNDP Country Office and UNDPGEF’s Regional Coordinating Unit will review the document. The APR/PIR is an annual monitoring process mandated by the GEF5. It has become an essential management and monitoring tool for project managers and offers the main vehicle for extracting lessons from ongoing projects. It also forms a part of UNDP’s Country Office central oversight, 2 A SCM mechanism as such is similar to the Tripartite Review (TPR) formally required for the UNDP/GEF projects, and differs from the latter only in the composition of the review panel, which, in case of the SC, is broader that that of the TPR. 5 The GEF M&E Unit provides the scope and content of the PIR. In light of the similarities of both APR (standard UNDP requirement) and PIR (GEF format), UNDP/GEF has prepared a harmonized format - an APR/PIR 66 monitoring and project management, as well as represents a key issue for the discussion at the Steering Committee meetings. Once the project has been under implementation for a year, an APR/PIR must be completed by the CO together with the project implementation team. The APR/PIR can be prepared any time during the year (July-June) and ideally prior to the SCM. The APR/PIR should then be discussed at the SCM so that the result would be an APR/PIR that has been agreed upon by the project, the executing agency, UNDP CO and the key stakeholders. The individual APR/PIRs are collected, reviewed and analysed by the RCs prior to sending them to the focal area clusters at the UNDP/GEF headquarters. Quarterly Progress reports: Short reports outlining main updates in project progress will be provided quarterly to the local UNDP Country Office and the UNDP-GEF regional office by the project team. See format attached. As and when called for by UNDP, UNDP-GEF or the Implementing Partner, the project team will prepare Specific Thematic Reports, focusing on specific issues or areas of activity. The request for a Thematic Report will be provided to the project team in written form by UNDP and will clearly state the issue or activities that need to be reported on. These reports can be used as a form of lessons learnt exercise, specific oversight in key areas, or as troubleshooting exercises to evaluate and overcome obstacles and difficulties encountered. UNDP is requested to minimize its requests for Thematic Reports, and when such are necessary will allow reasonable timeframes for their preparation by the project team. During the last three months of the project, the project team will prepare the Project Terminal Report. This comprehensive report will summarize all activities, achievements and outputs of the Project, lessons learnt, objectives met, or not achieved, structures and systems implemented, etc. and will be the definitive statement of the Project’s activities during its lifetime. It will also lay out recommendations for any further steps that may need to be taken to ensure sustainability and replicability of the Project’s activities. III.4 Independent Evaluation The project will be subjected to at least two independent external evaluations as follows: An independent Mid-Term Evaluation will be undertaken at the mid of the third year of implementation. The Mid-Term Evaluation will determine progress being made towards the achievement of outcomes and will identify course correction if needed. It will focus on the effectiveness, efficiency and timeliness of project implementation; will highlight issues requiring decisions and actions; and will present initial lessons learned about project design, implementation and management. Findings of this review will be incorporated as recommendations for enhanced implementation during the final half of the project’s term. The organization, terms of reference and timing of the mid-term evaluation will be decided after consultation between the Parties (stakeholders) to the project document. The Terms of Reference for this Mid-term evaluation will be prepared by the UNDP CO based on guidance from the Regional Centre in Bangkok and UNDP-GEF. An independent Final Evaluation will take place three months prior to the terminal Steering Committee meeting, and will focus on the same issues as the mid-term evaluation. The final evaluation will also look at impact and sustainability of results, including the contribution to capacity development and the achievement of global environmental goals. The Final Evaluation should also provide recommendations for follow-up activities. The Terms of Reference for this evaluation will be prepared by the UNDP CO based on guidance from the RCB and UNDP-GEF. Audit Clause The Government will provide the Resident Representative with certified periodic financial statements, and with an annual audit of the financial statements relating to the status of UNDP (including GEF) funds according to the established procedures set out in the Programming and Finance manuals. The Audit will be conducted by the legally recognized auditor of the Government, or by a commercial auditor engaged by the Government. III.5 Learning and knowledge sharing Results from the project will be disseminated within and beyond the project intervention zone through a number of existing information sharing networks and forums. The project will identify, analyze, and 67 share lessons learned that might be beneficial in the design and implementation of similar future projects. Identify and analyzing lessons learned is an on- going process, and the need to communicate such lessons as one of the project's central contributions is a requirement to be delivered not less frequently than once every 12 months. Vice versa, whether it is within UNDP units or with external partners and network, other projects and initiatives would also enrich the project implementation, examples to this are the CPRU community based monitoring tools for gender balance criteria and check list already available, and also Institutional Capacity Building module from the CSO project. UNDP/GEF shall provide a format and assist the project team in categorizing, documenting and reporting on lessons learned. To this end a percentage of project resources will need to be allocated for these activities.
