Climate Adaptation and Disaster Resilience (CADRE) Stakeholder Coordination, Advocacy, Linkages and Engagement for Resilience Adaptasi Perubahan Iklim dan Pengurangan Risiko Bencana untuk Ketahanan API Perubahan – Phase II

The program is currently in its second phase, building upon achievements from Phase I with the ultimate goal of strengthening the capacity of the government, civil society, and private sectors to reduce risks and adapt to climate change. The main activity during the 5th quarter was to communicate community-based Climate Change Adaptation (CCA) and Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) action plans to stakeholders at the national level. Potential supports were expressed from the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fishery (KKP) and the Agency for Technological Assessment and Application (BPPT) to support action plans that are in-line with their programs. API Perubahan, together with Mercy Corps Indonesia's ACCCRN program and UNDP SCDRR, is developing a framework on CCA-DRR Convergence. Along with other organizations and the National Board of Disaster Management (BNPB), API Perubahan is developing modules and preparing training on CCA and DRR designed for the BPBD, local government, and NGO staff. The communities in Maluku and Pekalongan have prioritized their actions based on the development of their community action plans. There are at least ten pilot projects that were identified and initiated within this quarter that are set to be completed by September this year. While initiating the pilot projects, API Perubahan and a community-based DRR-CCA working group (POKJA) is advocating for the community action plan to the local government and initiating partnerships with the local private sector through a CSR bazaar in Pekalongan and a mass community service cleaning project in Masohi – Maluku Tengah. API Perubahan has fully achieved 15 out of 24 output-level indicators. Some of the remaining indicators can only be achieved after the action plan and the subsequent pilot project implementation phases are completed in the remaining quarter. Progress towards completing the remaining indicators remains on target within the program period except for Indicator 2.1.4 which needed to be dropped. Changes in BNPB's Desa Tangguh training mechanism, as reported in the 3rd quarterly report, and the selection of pilot sub-districts/villages and the recruitment of local facilitators who will be trained for Desa Tangguh are now also involving BPBDs at the province and municipal level. The program area for API Perubahan Phase II includes five new sub-districts for the Phase II replication: Tirto district of Kabupaten Pekalongan and Amahai district of Kabupaten Maluku Tengah. Assistance will also continue in five sub-district/villages of Pulau Haruku district from Phase I. In total, API Perubahan Phase II will assist communities in the following ten sub-districts: Central Java, Maluku, Tirto district, Kabupaten Pekalongan, Amahai district, Kabupaten Maluku Tengah, Pulau Haruku district, Kabupaten Maluku Tengah, Desa Mulyorejo, Negeri Amahai, Negeri Kabauw, Desa Tegaldowo, Negeri Soahuku, Negeri Rohomoni, Desa Jeruksari, Negeri Sameth, Negeri Haruku, and Negeri Oma. The program management is led by Mercy Corps Indonesia, with Mr. Muslim as Senior Program Manager. The program is supported by a team of experts and local stakeholders, including the National Board of Disaster Management (BNPB), the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fishery (KKP), and the Agency for Technological Assessment and Application (BPPT). The program is expected to continue its implementation in the next quarter, focusing on the completion of pilot projects, advocacy activities to local government and parliament, capacity building for local government and communities, and finalization of module and training on DRR-CCA convergence. The overall goal of the program is to improve the resilience of populations vulnerable to natural hazards and the impacts of climate change through strengthening the capacity of government, civil society, and private sector stakeholders to reduce risks and adapt to climate change in Indonesia. The program aims to achieve this goal through three objectives: better coordination between and inclusive planning by national, provincial, and district-level government on disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation; reduce the vulnerability to hazards and climate change impacts of targeted community members; and replication of best practices promoted in new target vulnerable communities.
