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 5. Sharing knowledge on the effectiveness of KEE management

We defined 3 grades or blocks namely low (red), middle livelihoods (yellow), and high (green). Each grade/block have recommendation such rehabilitation activity in the low block need to increased. 4.2 Social Assessment for Assessment report of KEE Teluk Pangpang’s social aspect competed. 27 beneficiaries of 2 13 15 Oct9-14, Banyuwangi community around KEE Teluk The social assessment used Transmission Channel Analysis (TCA) stakeholder in KEE 2021 Pangpang approach to capture social problems, potentials, and arrange Teluk Pangpang 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. PHASE II (DEC 2020 – APR 2021) 1 Preparation for Pilot Activities 1.1 Internal preparation meeting Seventeen ARuPA program staff have improved understanding about 17 program staff of 3 15 18 Dec 18, Yogyakarta for the program the program, their duties & responsibilities; Detail of activity plan ARuPA 2020 implementation team developed.

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.

There are three steps to doing the inventory, namely: spatial Forestry Service of study; field inventory, and data analysis. In the spacial study, we have East Java 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

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.

In addition, need to synchronization the project plan with the work plan of government institutions such as BBKSDA and Forestry Service in provincial level.

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

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

31

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, -
