INDONESIA: JUNIOR ASSISTANT TO SUPPORT THE SECRETARIAT OF KKMD NK

INTRODUCTION TO GGGI

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.

PROJECT BACKGROUND

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 ‘Government of Indonesia-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 Kalimantan, GGGI is implementing the Nature-Based Solutions for Climate-Smart Livelihoods in Mangrove Landscapes (NASCLIM) project, 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). Funded by Global Affairs Canada, the five-year project focuses on restoring natural tidal flows and introducing sustainable aquaculture approaches. The goal is to increase the resilience of coastal communities and improve access to mangrove resources, especially for marginalized groups, including women. Additionally, the project aims to enhance policymakers’ capacity to design and implement evidence-based policies to support mangrove ecosystem rehabilitation and protection. NASCLIM will serve as a model for expanding similar projects and/or used as an example for adoption elsewhere in the country.

NASCLIM operates under a Project Technical Arrangement, derived from a Memorandum of Understanding between the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLHK) and GGGI signed on October 26, 2023. The project is guided by KLHK and the Indonesia’s Peat and Mangrove Restoration Agency (BRGM). Its goals and targets are designed to align with the Country Planning Framework agreed by the Government of Indonesia and GGGI, contributing to the development of a green growth program.

The success of sustainable mangrove ecosystem management depends significantly on institutional and financial aspects. Institutionally, sustainable mangrove ecosystem management involves various cross-sectoral government agencies and affects the livelihoods of many stakeholders. This diversity necessitates effective coordination, synchronization, and synergy among the policies, programs, and activities of different institutions and stakeholders related to mangrove ecosystem management.

In this context, the KLHK-initiated Regional Mangrove Working Group (Kelompok Kerja Mangrove Daerah/KKMD) is expected to serve as a coordination platform for institutions and stakeholders at the provincial level. It is a multi-stakeholders working group that convene government entities, experts from universities, mangrove practitioners, private sectors, and others to work in harmony to sustainably manage mangrove. The KKMD is expected to play active roles in addressing various issues related to sustainable mangrove ecosystem management at the provinces.

The establishment of the KKMD in North Kalimantan aims to: (a) anticipate and resolve emerging issues related to coordination and synergy among stakeholders, (b) advocate for sustainable mangrove ecosystem management, (c) systematically mainstream the achievement of sustainable mangrove ecosystem management goals, with results that can be aggregated nationally, (d) strengthen the capacity of stakeholders through collaborative learning processes, and (e) achieve development and policy targets at both the national and provincial levels. One key instrument that the KKMD can use to guide its duties and functions is the KKMD Action Plan, or RA-KKMD

Given the diverse ecosystem services provided by mangroves, such as coastal protection, fisheries support, carbon sequestration, and biodiversity conservation, it is evident that these areas are important to various stakeholders. However, conflicting interests among these stakeholders can pose challenges to sustainable management. NASCLIM advocates collaborative management among stakeholders, promoting negotiation and consensus-building among stakeholders to ensure equitable access to resources and the sustainable use of mangrove areas.

Recently, GGGI received a request for support from the provincial government of North Kalimantan (NK) to assist the existing provincial KKMDs in managing their offices. As a result, GGGI will hire a Junior Assistant to support the KKMD Secretariat.
