Project Title Joint Programme on Combating Violence against Women and Girls in Papua Province Indonesia UNFPA FUND CODE : UZJ03 ______________________________ 1 Project Overview: A joint AWP 2011 was signed by the head of the Provincial Women’s Empowerment Bureau (POWE) on behalf of the Papua Technical Working Group (PTWG), and was implemented in June 2011. It reflected work at the provincial level and three districts. - Province of Papua - Keerom, Jayapura and Jayawijaya The rate of violence against women and children in Papua is the highest in Indonesia, reaching 13.62% and 12.47%, based on the VAWC module attached to a socio-economic survey in 2006. This figure is 4.5 times higher than the national average of 3%. The “Gender and Poverty Analysis” in Papua conducted by UNICEF (2007) revealed that almost all women interviewed confirmed that they were beaten by their husbands on the grounds of failing to do their “jobs” as wives properly, such as not having meals ready on time or refusing to engage in sexual relations. Findings of this report are mirrored in the ICMC report on GBV in Jayapura, which states 57% out of 193 women interviewed disclosed that wife beating is common among Papuan men. During focus group discussions with men from Sorong, Jayapura, and Jayawijaya, 70% admitted to beating their wives in the same year, and the same percentage admitted to using physical violence more than once. Based on 216 cases of domestic violence reported in Jayawijaya regency from 1999 to 2002, alcoholism and gambling have been identified as the main causes. Although it seems alcohol is a large contributor to violence against women, most of the men interviewed claimed the reasons for using violence include dissatisfaction with the wife’s service (sex and food), jealousy, and rage. The goal is to reduce violence against women and children in Papua Province. 2 DONOR: UNWOMEN RECIPIENT COUNTRY: INDONESIA DURATION: 01 JAN 2011 – 31 DEC 2013 REFERENCE : UNFPA FUND CODE- UZJ03 CONTRIBUTION: USD 987,886.80 CONTACT ADDRESS : [email protected] ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT : UNFPA PARTICIPATING AGENCIES: UNFPA, UNICEF, UNWOMEN 3 ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT PARTICIPATING AGENCIES 4 RELEVANT DOCUMENTS Type File Name _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Agreements between Donor and UNFPA: UZJ03 10 INDONESIA – MoU ____________________________________________________________________________ Agreements between Participating Agencies: UZJ03 10 INDONESIA-SAA _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Status of Funds as of 31 December 2013: Status of Funds as of 31 December 2013 ____________________________________________________________________________ 5 UNFPA - JOINT PROGRAMME ON COMBATING VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN AND GIRLS IN PAPUA PROVINCE INDONESIA UZJ03 STATUS OF FUNDS FINANCIAL STATEMENT AS AT 31 DECEMBER 2013 (in USD) Participating Other Incomes Transfer and Prior Total Fund Project Title Year Contribution AA Fee Agencies Opening Balance Distribution Interest and Expenditures Refunds Period Adjustment Available Total Expenditures Fund Balance UNFPA - - - - - - - - - UNICEF - - - - - - - - - 2010 425,377.00 4,253.77 UNWOMEN - - - - - - - - - Undistributed - - - - - 421,133.33 - 421,133.33 421,133.33 425,377.00 4,253.77 421,133.33 - - - - - 421,133.33 - 421,133.33 UNFPA - 144,450.00 - - - - 144,450.00 109,853.31 34,596.69 UNICEF - 170,665.00 - - - - 170,665.00 39,955.00 130,710.00 2011 - - UNWOMEN - 101,115.00 - - - - 101,115.00 53,114.00 48,001.00 Undistributed 421,133.33 4,893.33 - - - - 4,893.33 - 4,893.33 JOINT PROGRAMME Sub Total - - 421,133.33 421,123.33 - - - - 421,123.33 202,922.31 218,201.02 ON COMBATING VIOLENCE AGAINST UNFPA 34,596.69 118,770.00 - - - - 153,366.69 52,258.11 101,108.58 WOMEN AND GIRLS IN PAPUA PROVINCE, INDONESIA UNICEF 130,710.00 86,525.00 - - - - 217,235.00 124,980.00 92,254.00 2012 310,690.00 3,106.90 UNWOMEN 48,001.00 105,395.00 - - - - 153,396.00 48,002.00 105,395.00 Undistributed 4,893.33 (3,106.90) - - - - 1,786.43 - 1,786.43 Sub Total 310,690.00 3,106.90 218,201.02 307,583.10 - - - - 525,784.12 225,240.11 300,544.01 UNFPA 101,108.58 80,155.68 181,264.26 136,962.62 44,301.64 UNICEF 92,254.00 50,970.00 143,224.00 140,706.00 2,518.00 2013 222,075.00 2,220.75 UNWOMEN 105,395.00 90,515.00 195,910.00 195,910.00 - Undistributed 1,786.43 (1,786.43) - - - Sub Total 222,075.00 2,220.75 300,544.01 219,854.25 - - - - 520,398.26 473,578.62 46,819.64 Grand Total 958,142.00 9,581.42 948,560.68 - - - - 948,560.68 901,741.04 6 46,819.64 Fund Code UZJ03 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 9,000,000 8,000,000 7,000,000 6,000,000 5,000,000 4,000,000 2013 3,000,000 2012 2011 2,000,000 2010 1,000,000 2009 2008 0 Contributions AA Fee Distribution Expenditures Funding Status as of 31, December 2013: Contributions: 958,142.00 UNFPA AA Fee: ( 9,581.42) Distribution: 948,560.68 Expenditures: 901,741.04 8.

Email Coresponden: [email protected] Abstract Indonesia is the world 's largest archipelago with 1,904,569 km2 of surface area. A very diverse landscape with a variety of abundance of flora and fauna is a special attraction for foreign tourists. Not only that, the natural wealth in Indonesia 's intestines is also very abundant, as are various minerals and richness from other mining materials. However, a abundance of skilled human capital, both in terms of science and technology mastered, do not complement the plentiful natural resources. This is one of the reasons superpowers should be providing cooperation. PT. PT. Freeport is an clear example of Indonesia 's collaboration in the mining sector with foreign parties. The first contract for Freeport-Indonesia was established in 1967. After the Foreign Investment Law was passed in 1967, Freeport became the first foreign mining firm to operate in Indonesia. But the existence of this partnership was regretted by many because it was perceived to be detrimental to the region. The reason is that so far nobody knows for sure how much gold and silver has been produced from the mining to date. The magnitude of the distribution of mining goods is also not quite good given that Indonesia owns land which is turned into gold fields. There are, in fact, many reports uncovering miserable stories of discrimination by indigenous people around the mining region.

Location of operation: INDONESIA Amount of Decision: EUR 367,000 Decision reference number: ECHO/IDN/BUD/2006/01000 Explanatory Memorandum 1 - Rationale, needs and target population: On April 25th, an outbreak of diarrhea was reported to have killed 58 residents within a few weeks1, in three highland districts of Papua, Indonesia (Jayawijaya, Yakuhimo and Tolikara). A few days later the health authorities, based on tests from three laboratories2, confirmed that the outbreak was due to cholera (Vibrio Cholerae Type Ogawa), although some3 fatal diarrhea cases are believed to have a different, unidentified origin. As of May 6th 4,015 cases and 160 deaths had been reported4. The number of casualties is however believed to be grossly under-estimated, as some cases in remote areas were not reported. The reported cases are distributed as follows: 1 The outbreak is thought, with no certainty, to have originated from the non-hygienic food served during a tribal ritual on March 16th. 2 28 of March.

    ISSN Print 2540-7716, ISSN Online 2540-9166 The Effect of Village Formation on Regency/City Regional Finance in Papua Province Anita Erari Faculty of Economics, Cenderawasih University Jl. Kamp. Wolker, Waena, Jayapura, 99358, Papua, Indonesia Phone/Fax.: +62-967-585470; E-mail: [email protected] DOI: 10.31957/plj.v3i2.786 Abstract: According to Minister of Home Affairs Regulation No. 56 of 2015 concerning Code and Data of Administrative Area, it is mentioned that Papua is one of 34 provinces in Indonesia with the highest number of villages by 5,419 villages, 110 urban villages, and 558 sub-districts scattered in 28 regencies and 1 city. The high number of villages in a regency/city area has an effect on the amount of village funds allocated by the Central or Provincial Governments for each district/city, thus affecting the amount of regency/city APBD. Village Fund Allocation is a manifestation of the fulfillment of the right for the village to implement the principle of autonomy for the village to grow and develop following the growth of the village itself, based on diversity, participation, original autonomy, democratization, and community empowerment. However, the increasing number of village formation burdened the government budget to finance the formation of new villages, so that the village formation had a significant and positive effect on the amount of regional finance, especially regency/city and provincial APBD. For example, in the 2016 fiscal year, Tolikara Regency had a total of 541 villages spreading across 46 districts and received the largest village fund allocation of Rp320.04 billion.
