Section I – Technical

A. Summary of Grant Activity Goals and Objectives

Since ARuPA was awarded the grant in May 2020, ARuPA has collaborated with the East Java Office

for Natural Resources Conservation (BBKSDA) and East Java Forestry Service (Dinas Kehutanan), to

implement a pilot activity to improve the effectiveness of the management of essential ecosystem

areas (KEE) at the site level. The piloting focused on strengthening the institutional design of the KEE

managers and the KEE management plans at KEE Teluk Pangpang, Banyuwangi. Teluk Pangpang is a

coastal area with mangrove forests with an area of + 1,663.71 hectares. Teluk Pangpang has been

designated as a KEE on July 27, 2020, through the East Java Governor Decree No. 188/338 / KPTS /

013/2020. The focus/objectives of the piloting activities in Banyuwangi is to:

▪ Assessing the need for strengthening the effectiveness of KEE management;

▪ Strengthen the multi-stakeholder forum for KEE management based on the results of

stakeholder mapping;

▪ Update the KEE area arrangement map

▪ Update KEE management documents.

After three months of piloting, the new approach taken by AruPA at the KEE Teluk Pangpang has

been approved by East Java BBKSDA and Forestry Service. The new approach focused on strengthen

and provide more intensive stakeholder collaboration, clarify roles and functions among forum

members on KEE management, and serve as a foundation to achieve the effectiveness on KEE

management. Based on this approach, East Java BBKSDA and East JavaForestry Service need to

replicate good practices from KEE Teluk Pangpang to three additional locations. Due to the success

of the KEE pilot in Teluk Pangpang, the project will expand the pilot activities to strengthen the

effectiveness of KEE management in three additional KEE locations, which are (l) KEE Mangrove

Ujung Pangkah in Gresik, (2) KEE Pantai Taman Kili Kili in Trenggalek, and (3) KEE Pulau

Masakambing in Sumenep.

The objective of this grant was to improve the effectiveness of KEE management at the field level by

promoting a multistakeholder management approach. The grant activity was implemented by

working with stakeholders to strengthen KEE management institutions, strengthen the KEE

management documents according to effectiveness measurements, conduct analysis of KEE

management financing options from local government agencies and stakeholders, and determine the

roles and responsibilities, and working relationship between involved stakeholders. The selected

pilot locations were in KEE Teluk Pangpang in Banyuwangi, KEE Ujung Pangkah in Gresik, KEE Pantai

Taman Kili-kili in Trenggalek and KEE Masakambing in Sumenep. The grant also worked to

strengthen the process of identification and verification (inver) of high biodiversity areas outside

conservation areas in East Java. The biodiversity inventory will strengthen the achievement of the

East Java Province target to identify and verify 225.000 hectares of high biodiversity areas.

The main objectives of this project were:

1. Assess the need for strengthening the institution of the KEE multi-stakeholder forum

2. Strengthening the institutional functions to achieve the effectiveness of KEE management.

3. Increasing the capacity of forum members and community groups in managing KEE

4. Implementing the inventory of high biodiversity areas outside the conservation area

Overall, four KEEs were covered in the news by online

media. The news were dominated by KEE Mangrove

Ujungpangkah Gresik and KEE Taman Kili Kili Trenggalek.

The district governments of these KEEs were active in

sharing with the local journalists about the sites. The

media has covered KEE Teluk Pangpang a year ago during

phase 1. The media rarely writes about KEE Masakambing

because of its remote location.

Among others, the news covered topics about the

existing KEEs, the establishment of the KEE Forums, the

uniqueness of the landscapes, flora, and fauna in each of

the KEE areas, the support from the district government

towards this project.

1.3 Research - Stakeholder study

of KEE Teluk Pangpang

Draft report on the KEE Teluk Pangpang stakeholders study developed.

One important finding was that village institution has the greatest level

of interest towards the KEE compared to other actors. However, in

contrast, the level of influence of the village is very low. The

recommendation is to empower the village institution. In another

finding, there is a knowledge and perception gap from several

stakeholders related to the definition, function, and management of KEE

areas. The recommendation is the need to consolidate and coordinate

among stakeholders.

1.4 Multi-stakeholder workshop

to present results of

stakeholder mapping and KEE

Final report on the KEE Teluk Pangpang stakeholders’ study developed

based on inputs at the stakeholder workshop. The important inputs

were: the need to align work programs and budgets from various

parties to focus on the activities of the Teluk Pangpang KEE

management forum. In this sense, the Banyuwangi Bappeda office has

the authority to consolidate all of OPD (District Apparatus

Organizations) to focus on KEE management. Another input: village

institution has the potential as the implementing management of KEE

Teluk Pangpang. The Village Law provides villages as very strategic

institutions and village institutions have the authority to consolidate

various institutional community groups in the village. So, all of the

programs from several OPD should be organized by the village at the

field implementation.

2.1 Training of KEE management

through a multi-stakeholder

approach and dissemination of

KEE regulations and

conceptions to the

stakeholders

Stakeholders’ understanding and awareness in KEE Teluk Pangpang

improved related to KEE management. The results are as follow:

o Training participants have increased understanding of the KEE

regulations, multistakeholder management approach, and gender

mainstreaming. Results of the pre-post test showed increased

understanding among participants by 20 to 30 percent.

o Participants agree to arrange an action plan document of KEE Teluk

Pangpang and hold a public consultation.

KEE management forum

members into the draft KEE

decree

Draft SK Forum and the role of forum members arranged. The draft

East Java Governor decree states that the forum structure is made out

of 3 divisions: protection, utilization, planning, and research and

development. Another important point stakeholders agree on was the

village institution, as a forum member, represents all the community

groups in the KEE area.

A legal opinion needs to be developed to accompany the draft SK

Forum before it is submitted to the provincial government,

The social assessment used Transmission Channel Analysis (TCA)

approach to capture social problems, potentials, and arrange

transformation on them. Based on this assessment, we recommended that among OPD, Perhutani, BTNAP, Village Government, and

community, they need to build consensus to detail the KEE’s

management plan. Because the existing condition showed that there are

gaps in knowledge and perception of land use towards KEEs.

writing of stakeholders

mapping results

Three packages (KEE UP, MK, TK) of the stakeholders’ mapping

reports in three KEE completed. The studies found two important

things as follows: (1). Some parties have high interest but low power. In

contrast, some parties have low interest but high power. Balance among

the parties needs to be developed; (2). There were gap perceptions

among parties related to how KEE areas should be managed.

The main recommendation from this studies is efforts are needed to

create collaborative governance that is closer to ideal without

forgetting several dimensions that characterize the capacity of this

collaboration, including bonds of trust, mutual understanding,

commitment, the common ground, and the presence of actors who

become a connector (the bridging actors).

findings:

o Discussing sustainable development must always measure how the

performance of regulations, institutions, and infrastructure are

included in the context of KEE management. Therefore, regulations

on KEE must be clarified so that stakeholders can use the regulations

as a reference in the management and development of KEE

o The budget planning policies related to KEEs at the national,

regional, and village levels have included KEEs in them, but some

have not explicitly included KEEs as part of their planning.

o The budget opportunity for KEE management are:

- National, provincial, district level: (1). The balancing national and

regional finances/budget provides opportunities that allow KEE

to become one of the conservation areas; and also

deconcentration budget. (2). The opportunity for revenue-

sharing from the Reforestation Fund (Dana Reboisasi), based on

proposals from the community, is very possible for allocations to

KEE, especially for conservation activities. (3). The regional

incentive budget (Dana Insentif Daerah/DID) makes it possible to

include indicators related to land area. This is where KEE has an

opportunity to conserve land, allowing it to take advantage of

DID.

- Village level: opportunities for village budget (Dana Desa/DD),

especially villages in the KEE area, have a great opportunity to

allocate budgets for KEE development

- Grants from government, corporate social responsibility /

private sector, universities, and non-government organizations /

civil society, have a great opportunity to develop KEEs.

o KEE Pulau Masakambing: Based on observations in the KEE area

on Masakambing Island, 22 bird species were recorded, 5 of which

were protected, one mammal species, and 3 herpetofauna species.

The results of the analysis show that KEE Masakambing has a

moderate diversity of bird species in areas of protection,

sustainable use, and recovery. In this protected area the most

individuals encountered were marine goggles with a density of

0.372 individuals/ha. In the sustainable use area, the most

individuals encountered were Cacatua sulphurea abotti with a

density of 0.673 individuals/ha. In the recovery area, the most

individuals encountered were species clogged rivers with a density of 0.309 individuals/ha. Bird species are more common in the

mangrove areas, although some are easily visible in plantation and

economic assessment in

KEE

Three packages (KEE UP, MK, TK) of the socio-economic assessment

reports were completed.

A resume of the findings in the socio-economic assessment in KEE UP,

MK, and TK are as follow:

o Utilization of KEE areas.

- Economic interaction (Ujung Pangkah): The mobility of

community activities and their interactions with the Ujung

Pangkah area is more motivated as a source of livelihood land

in the form of ponds and fishermen.

- Ecologic interaction (Pantai Taman Kili-Kili): The involvement

and interest of the village government and community groups

(Pokmawas) in the coastal area of Taman Kili-Kili is more

based on motivation to carry out turtle rescue conservation.

- Ecology-economic interaction (Pulau Masakambing): This

pattern further describes the form of community subsistence

over the limited resources around it.

o Conflict potential

- Conflict of authority: In KEE Pantai Taman Kili-Kili between

Perhutani and Village Government/Community. In KEE Ujung

Pangkah related to oloran land (high/low-tide lands) between

village government and concession holder.

- Conflict of market actors: KEE Ujung Pangkah, ijon market

(bonded system) detrimental to fishermen and pond managers

- Conflict of roles: If one party does not have a strong

commitment, there will be a potential for conflict to split the

agreement that is built. This situation can happen at KEE

Masakambing. The skeptical and apathetic attitude of the

village government to initiate the designation of Masakambing

Island as KEEs, will result in the loss of public confidence in

accepting KEE as a conservation area.

o Potential opportunities for village institutions in managing KEE ie.

Village Owned Enterprises/BUMDes. BUMDes has the opportunity

to manage KEEs as long as it improves the conditions below:

- BUMDes do not yet have sufficient capacity to be involved in

providing added value, especially invaluable products.

- BUMDes does not have a good marketing network or build

partnerships with market players who control the marketing

chain.

- Not all village governments have provided support for the

role of BUMDes as the motor that drives the economy of the

community in the village.

5.7 Data consolidation of ground

check results and secondary

spatial data

Report of analysis and consolidation of ground check data and

secondary data developed; Final draft of the information system was

developed. There are three steps to doing the inventory, namely: spatial

study; field inventory, and data analysis. In the spacial study, we have

done sequentially modeling of fauna priority species distribution;

analysis of biodiversity hotspots & least cost path; determination of

biodiversity inventory area; and finally class analysis of the Spatial Multi-

Criteria Analysis (SMCA). The spacial study resulted in 17 areas to be

inventory in the field. Secondly, we have done field inventories of high

biodiversity on 17 areas in East Java. The inventory team came from

ARuPA, East Java BBKSDA and Forestry Service. The final step is data

analysis. In sum, the finding from this activity are:

There are 17 locations of high biodiversity inventory. Determination of

locations based on biodiversity hotspot which is defined by fauna

distribution data combine by an environmental variable such as

elevation, proximity from rivers, and degree of slope.

To capture the variety of locations, we defined 4 categories of

biodiversity areas, namely corridor, buffer, protected, and isolate.

Corridor for areas as a connector between conservation areas. Buffer

for areas around the conservation area. Protection area for coastal,

mangrove, and certain geological uniqueness

The 17 locations are at 21 districts in East Java Province. From the total

location of 342.102,67 hectares, 205 species of birds, 10 species of

mammals, and 31 species of herpetofauna were recorded. Then for the

types of flora in the entire location has been identified there are 154

types of flora.

Each location of 17 areas has the status of high-medium-low of

biodiversity. From SMCA, we get information especially The

composition of biodiversity that has status high, medium, and low are in

5.8 High biodiversity map

finalization and writing report

of high biodiversity inventory

Biodiversity identification and verification report in East Java province

and high biodiversity map developed.

The recommendation from this biodiversity inventory are: First, the

East Java Provincial Government could enact the 17 locations of

biodiversity inventory become KEEs. Second, on the KEEs, the

government needs to establish management forums for KEEs and

involve various stakeholders. Third, the need to develop action plan

documents for the effectiveness of the KEE management.

Furthermore, the results of these activities obtained a regional network

that can support biodiversity conservation in East Java and

accommodate public participation in its management. To accommodate

the public’s participation, we conducted the training of trainers for

various parties so that they can pass on their knowledge to other

parties. Such as the East Java BBKSDA and Forestry Service, and

involved Perhutani staff, CSO, and higher-education students in the field

of biodiversity inventory.

The result of biodiversity inventory on 17 locations in East Java can see

on this temporary website https://inver-kehati-jatim.karogis.com. in the

future, this website will be embedded as part of the official East Java

Government’s website. Until now, the process to embed the site is still

being negotiated until the end of May 2021. This website, which is called

“Si Merak Ati”, is also designed to provide biodiversity maps and data

for all districts in East Java. On 21 May 2021, USAID BIJAK has handed

over the biodiversity information system to the East Java Forestry

Service. The website will be used to analyze biodiversity inventory data,

develop plans to protect high biodiversity areas, and identify areas to

establish new KEEs. The East Java Forestry Service become the host to

manage the biodiversity data system in the “Si Merak Ati” website. We

have discussed with the East Java Forestry Service to arrange the

protocols to manage the website.

D. Lessons Learned and Recommendations

Lessons learned and recommendations from this project are as follows:

1 Supra KEE By considering Law No.

23/2014 on regional

government, and looking at

the situation in the field, it is

better if the role of the

provincial and district

governments needs to be

increased on the KEE issues.

So that the role of the central

government needs to be

reduced.

Enhancing the role of regional

government and reducing the

role of the national government

in KEE affairs. In addition, we

recommend that the Minister

of Environment and Forestry

(MoEF) Decree of on KEE be

issued soon.

In addition, need to purpose

and re-enforce the role of the

provincial government on KEE

development due to MoEF

Decree Number P.66 of 2015

about the De-centralization of

the environmental sector.

2 Forum of KEE KEE Forum members who

majority government officer in

the district and provincial level

are still concerned with the

role of each government

officers. In addition, the

legality of the forum is very

important as a basis for forum

members to prepare activity

plans and budgets in each

agency.

To overcome sectoral egos, it

is necessary to hold

consolidation meetings for

forum members periodically

and continuously. In addition,

the role of the Bupati (head of

district) or Sekda (District

secretary) is very important to

mobilize each district agency to

focus on KEE.

To have the OPD prioritize

KEEs in their work plan, they

need to be proposed to

Bappeda at the provincial and

district level to add the KEE

program in their planning

arrangement.

3 Community Since there are KEE programs

in four locations, communities

have started to realize how to

use natural resources

sustainably. However,

awareness among the public is

uneven because of the lack of

socialization on KEEs.

The need for KEE socialization

at the community level by the

village government and other

parties who are members of

the KEE forum. So, it needs to

be included in the KEE program

in the village’s official work

plan.

E. Grant Success Stories

1. KEE Teluk Pangpang and KEE Ujungpangkah succeeded in emphasizing the importance of

mangroves and the protection of migratory birds to the community.

2. KEE Taman Kili Kili Beach, which is the landing site for Olive ridley sea turtle (Lepidochelys

olivacea) and Leatherback sea turtle (Dermochelys coriacea) has succeeded in conserving turtles

and stopping poaching and illegal trade of turtles by the community.

3. KEE Pulau Masakambing has succeeded in protecting the population of abotti yellow-crested

cockatoo (Cacatua sulphurea) which currently number only 25 individuals in the wild.

4. With various stakeholders’ characteristics and KEE typology, ARuPA can define the right

strategies and approaches to gain commitment and support from related stakeholders. It

significantly accelerated the achievement of all targeted milestones in place.

5. Stakeholder mapping and local policy analysis is considered as the most important baseline data

to improve the participation of OPD in arranging their program and budget to support the

implementation of KEE action plan. Furthermore, the stakeholder analysis can provide clear

recommendations for determining the structure, role, and function of the members of the KEE

forums.

6. Lessons learned from KEE Teluk Pangpang on drafting the KEE forum decree have provided a

reference for the East Java BBKSDA and Forestry Service to replicate the decree for the other 3

KEEs.

7. The SMCA method provided strong recommendations on the different important values of KEE

areas to determine blocking maps for area management. The recommendation has been

integrated into the KEE action plan and KEE protection plan by determining the different

approaches for managing block based on the block characteristic (protection, sustainable

utilization, and rehabilitation)

8. The socio-economic studies provided alternative options to manage and utilize KEE areas in

certain blocks by considering the tenure and social relation.

9. Strong demand for high biodiversity data provided by Si Merak Ati as a platform for biodiversity

data center for conservation program planning, data-based decision-making, provision of a

biodiversity profile for district environmental services, monitoring the circulation of protected

and wild animals, projection of proposals, and designation of new KEE, and calculation of natural

resources balance. So, Si Merak Ati will become a hub for the distribution of data used in

29

achieving the performance indicators of both the East Java forestry service, East Java BBKSDA,

and district environmental services in East Java.

10. Acceptance of the project by BPEE at the national level and the East Java BBKSDA and Forestry

Service at the provincial level because we build agreement and synchronizing the project plan

with government work plan in national, provincial, and district level.

Section II - Financial

A. Description of grant activity funding

During the project implementation in phase I and phase II, USAID BIJAK grant funding contributed

greatly in helping ARuPA implement activities and achieve its objectives. USAID BIJAK funded all the

implemented activities. The only activity with third-party contribution was activity 5.3 - Training of

trainer (ToT) for biodiversity inventory team. Because the East Java Forestry Services wanted to add

more participants, they contributed to the budget, mostly for accommodation and transportation of

additional participants who came from the province and district level in East Java.

The management of the budget became challenging, especially in phase II because we had to

implement several activities almost simultaneously in 4 different locations. To avoid any funding

delays from USAID BIJAK, the financial department made intensive communications with ARuPA

program manager and executive director of the financial situation, and activities that are planned and

implemented so that they can be executed on time which also implies in the report submission as

the requirements of the fund transfer of each milestone.

C. Explanation of higher or lower than anticipated costs

In activities implemented by ARuPA, all milestones and activities are completed. All the budget has

been used for each of the activities. Most of the activities’ costs fell close to the budget. Only two

activities were overbudget: activity 3.3.2 - Consolidation meeting for developing KEE institutional

and management document of KEE Ujung Pangkah (I) and activity 3.3.2 - Consolidation meeting for

developing KEE institutional and management document of KEE Ujung Pangkah (II). The over-budget

was caused by the doubling of participants because all KEE Forum members are suggested to attend.

Consequently, we had to provide a meeting package twice the original budget. We asked the hotel

to reduce the selection of food/snack items in each pax to reduce the price and avoid excessive

over-budget.

Regarding the milestone payments, at the beginning of phase II, some milestone payments were late

because of the lateness of the signing of the modification of the agreement while we have to keep

submitting the report of each milestone according to the schedule in the milestone. This situation

forces some activities keep being implemented while the milestone funds were late to be disbursed.

This situation also forces us to make more prefinance than predicted. But, in the middle of the

implementation of phase II, the funding has been going well.

During the grant receipt process, several modifications were made:

• Modification I

Based on information from the Government of Indonesia Task Force for the Acceleration of

Handling COVID-19, on June 28, 2020, the daily increases of positive cases of COVID in

Indonesia averaged more than 1,000/day for the past week. Currently, the East Java Province is

a Covid-19 red zone, with a cumulative number of 11,482 cases

(http://infocovid19.jatimprov.go.id/index.php/data).

According to a notice issued by the Minister of Administrative Reform and Bureaucratic Reform

No. 58 of 2020 on the work system of government employees in the new normal order,

employees of central and regional agencies are encouraged to carry out meetings and

communications activities through electronic media. In addition, official travel should be carried

out selectively and only for priority and urgent reasons.

To comply with the government’s notice, ARuPA shifted its implementation methodology from

conducting in-person events to using an online meeting platform. We conducted the

Consolidation and Socialization program (activity #1.2) and Stakeholder mapping and KEE

management gap analysis (activity #1.3) using the online meeting platform. This shift had two

results: (1) a change in the deliverables produced; and (2) underspending of funds that were

originally budgeted for the in-person events. Under this amendment, ARUPA allocated the

32

underspent funds to carry out a new activity, the social assessment of communities around KEE

Teluk Pangpang (see activity #4.2).

• Modification II

The second modification was made because the four new locations were added into the

project. Since the award in May 2020, ARuPA has collaborated with the East Java BBKSDA and

Forestry Service to implement a pilot activity to improve the effectiveness of KEE management

at the site level. This piloting focused on strengthening the institutional design of the KEE

manager and the KEE management plan at the KEE Teluk Pangpang, Banyuwangi. After three

months of piloting, The new approach taken by AruPA has been approved by the East Java

BBKSDA and Forestry Service , where the new approach focused to strengthen and provide

more intensive stakeholder collaboration, clarify roles and functions among KEE management

forum members, and serve as the foundation to achieve effectiveness on KEE management. As a

result, East Java BBKSDA and Forestry Agency has requested ARuPA to strengthen this process

and replicate the good practices in KEE Teluk Pangpang to three additional locations.

Due to the success of the KEE pilot in Teluk Pangpang, modification no. 02 will expand the pilot

activities to strengthen the effectiveness of KEE management in three additional locations,

which are (1) KEE Ujung Pangkah in Gresik, (2) KEE Pantai Taman Kili-Kili in Trenggalek, and (3)

KEE Masakambing in Sumenep. The expanded scope of work is summarized in Table 1 below.

With additional activities in 3 KEEs, modification 02 was made to extend the agreement period

to April 30, 2021, and increase the budget for the implementation of the activities to Rp.

6,437,850,000, -

• Modification III

The third modification was made because the impact of Covid-19 was still in motion at that

time. On February 10, 2021, BIJAK met with ARuPA to discuss the status of the activities, the

impact of Covid-19, and the completion timeline for the remaining activities. Given the ongoing

uncertainty with Covid-19, ARuPA agreed to reduce some activities that may delay the

implementation of activities in the remaining weeks of the grant. As a result, ARuPA proposed

these revisions to the activities:

1. Changes to the number of days of activity implementation and number of LOE of

honorarium for experts on activities:

• All Activities under #3.3 and Activities #4.2.3 through #4.2.6, #5.7, and #5.8

2. Cancellation of the following activities:

• All Activities under #3.4 and Activity #4.1

With these changes, the overall impact on reducing the budget by Rp. 517,500,000 from the

previous total budget of Rp. 6,437,850,000, -
