The Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI) is a treaty-based international, inter-governmental organization dedicated to supporting and promoting strong, inclusive and sustainable economic growth in developing countries and emerging economies. To learn more please visit about GGGI web page.
GGGI has a diverse portfolio of programs in developing countries around the world. These in-country programs, together with global and services, focus on delivering bankable projects and programs that are aligned to countries’ development priorities. The GGGI Indonesia Program, known as the ‘GoI-GGGI Green Growth Program’, aims to demonstrate that green investment is possible and can become the norm both for investors and for planners, ultimately improving the quality of growth and development.
In Indonesia, restoration of the mangrove ecosystem acknowledges as a top priority by Indonesia’s president that assigning Peat and Mangrove Restoration Agency (BRGM) with the goal of recovering 600,000 hectares by 2024. Mangroves are among the most important carbon-capturing ecosystems on Earth. Indonesia’s mangroves alone constitute more than 20% of the global mangrove expanse, covering an area of 3.2 million hectares. This vast area includes both large, degraded areas and significant intact mangrove areas. Over the past three decades, Indonesia has lost 25-40% of its mangroves, primarily from conversion to aquaculture of the largely monoculture shrimp ponds and industrial development. These activities have significantly damaged the mangrove ecosystem, making it less resilient to climate change and other environmental stressors. The intact mangrove areas are still relatively undisturbed by human activity. These areas are home to a diverse range of plant and animal life, and coastal communities.
To support the mangrove restoration effort in Indonesia, the Global Affair Canada (GAC) partnered with Global Green Growth Institute agreed on a five-year project called the Ecosystem-based Approach/Nature-based Solutions for Climate-Smart Livelihoods in Mangrove Landscapes (NASCLIM) on 27 March 2023. This project is guided by the Indonesia’s Peat and Mangrove Restoration Agency and Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLHK) under Memorandum of Understanding between KLHK and GGGI, signed on 26 October 2023. Its goals and targets are designed to align with the Country Planning Framework of the Government of Indonesia and GGGI, contributing to the development of a green growth program.
NASCLIMis designed to support the rehabilitation of degraded mangroves and the protection of intact mangrove forests in the provinces of North Kalimantan (NK) and East Kalimantan (EK). The project consists of rehabilitation of natural tidal flows and the introduction of new fishing and aquaculture techniques that will promote the more sustainable use of mangrove resources. In turn, this will increase the resiliency of coastal communities and promote greater access to mangrove resources for marginalized groups, including women. The project will also build the capacity of policy makers to design and implement policies that would better incentivize rehabilitation and protection of mangrove ecosystems.
Following a consultative process with national and local government, six villages were identified as project’s beneficiaries: Liagu, Salim Batu, Sekatak Benggara, and Sekatak Buji in Kayan Sembakung Delta in NK; and Muara Pantuan and Sepatin in Mahakam Delta in EK. These villages were initially approved by BGRM on 12 July 2023, and get final approval on 15 August 2023. GGGI has been officially granted approval for its NASCLIM’s Project Implementation Plan (PIP) by GAC on 10 May 2024. This paves the way for the project’s implementation and its positive impact on these communities.
Concurrent with the ongoing finalization of the NASCLIM Project Technical Arrangement (PTA) at BRGM and KLHK, BRGM issued a reference letter on 20 August 2024, authorizing the NASCLIM team to commence community engagement activities and Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) in the six designated villages within NK and EK. PRA empowers local communities by incorporating their knowledge and perspectives into project design. By involving community members in identifying their most pressing needs, the NASCLIM project will ensure that interventions are aligned with local priorities and more likely to be sustainable. This participatory process also fosters trust and collaboration between the community and the project team. Subsequent to PRA, GGGI will proceed with data collection and information gathering through Participatory Land-Use Planning (PLUP). This process will involve identifying areas for protection and rehabilitation, pinpointing potential areas suitable for social forestry, and developing a comprehensive land-use plan for the village that is mutually agreed upon by the local communities. Ensuring inclusiveness, NASCLIM places great emphasis on a gender-responsive approach in all stages of activities, including in PRA and PLUP.
GGGI and Wetland International/Yayasan Lahan Basah (WI/YLBA) will take the lead in conducting community engagement activities within the NASCLIM project villages and with local governments. Given the project’s time constraints and limited human resources, GGGI seeks external support to design and implement both Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) and Participatory Land Use Planning (PLUP) processes. PRA will be conducted in multiple community settlements within each of the six target villages. To gain a comprehensive understanding of the socio-economic, environmental, and cultural conditions of these communities, PRA will be conducted at two sites in Liagu, two sites in Sekatak Benggara, five sites in Salim Batu, and three sites in Sekatak Buji in the Kayan Sembakung Delta in NK; four sites in Muara Pantuan and seven sites in Sepatin, in the Mahakam Delta in EK. Collectively, NASCLIM team will execute a total of 23 PRA across both NK and EK. Specifically, 12 PRAs will be conducted in NK, while 11 PRAs will be undertaken in EK.
To support PRA and to lead PLUP process, GGGI will hire a Participatory Community-Based Planning Lead in both provinces. NK-based consultant plays a crucial role in designing, facilitating and guiding the community engagement processes and the participatory assessment during PRA and PLUP in four specific villages: Liagu, Salim Batu, Sekatak Benggara and Sekatak Buji. Meanwhile, the consultant operating in EK will focus on the villages of Muara Pantuan and Sepatin.
The main objective of this assignment is to support GGGI in conducting PRA and to lead the PLUP process in the four NASCLIM-assisted villages called Liagu, Salim Batu, Sekatak Benggara, and Sekatak Buji in NK.
The consultant’s primary responsibilities encompass the following:
There are two main activity of this assignment as follows:
PRA
The consultant will provide support to facilitate PRA in multiple locations, primarily in Liagu, Sekatak Benggara, Salimbatu and Sekatak Buji. These PRAs are scheduled to take place in September-October 2024.
The consultant’s specific responsibilities will include:
The anticipated output of the PRAs for NASCLIM project will be individual site reports. These reports will encompass a detailed overview of each location, including key findings and recommendations including:
PLUP
The consultant will lead the implementation of PLUP in four villages located in North Kalimantan: Liagu, Salimbatu, Sekatak Benggara, and Sekatak Buji. This initiative is scheduled to commence following PRA in October 2024 and conclude in February 2025.
The consultant’s primary responsibilities will include:
During the PLUP design phase, the consultant will collaborate closely with the NASCLIM team to establish a mutually agreed-upon methodology, process, and output framework for the PLUP activities.
