SDGs for Children in Indonesia

Provincial snapshot: North Sulawesi

757,000 children

Introduction

of entire

This provincial snapshot highlights priority child-related Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) indicators, based on national household surveys and other data sources. It

complements the national SDG Baseline Report on Children

in Indonesia produced by BAPPENAS and UNICEF, to support monitoring and evidence-informed policy making.

North Sulawesi

North Sulawesi (Sulawesi Utara) is a youthful province. Its 757,000 children represent 31 per cent of the total population. More than four in 10 children live in urban areas. Increased strategic investments in children are required to fast-track achievement of the SDGs for the province.

GOAL 1

NO POVERTY

Around 86,000 children (11.3 per cent) were living below the official poverty line in 2015 (Rp 9,711 per person per day). Many more families are insecure and live on incomes that are only marginally higher. In addition, 68 per cent of children experienced deprivations in two or more non-income dimensions of poverty, with persistent disparities between urban and rural areas.1

GOAL 2

ZERO HUNGER

Adopting optimal feeding practices is fundamental to a child’s survival, growth and development. Yet, only one in three infants in North Sulawesi is exclusively breastfed for the first six months of life.
The prevalence of malnutrition is relatively high, especially among those in rural areas. Some 14 per cent of newborns have a low birthweight, and over a third of children under five were stunted (low height for their age) in 2013.

Despite progress, child mortality remains a challenge. For every 1,000 live births, 23 newborn babies died in their first month of life and 37 before their fifth birthday. reproductive health services, including scaling up access to modern family planning methods.

Eight in 10 infants received the recommended three doses of DTP vaccine and 90 per cent were vaccinated against measles in 2015. Continued efforts are needed to reach and sustain high immunisation coverage in rural and urban areas.
A majority of women have access to delivery care, with 87 per cent of births occurring with assistance from a skilled attendant. However, there is scope to further improve the coverage of

QUALITY EDUCATION

Children’s school readiness can be improved through early childhood development programmes. The participation rate in organised learning among 6-year-olds was 99 per cent in 2015, though most pre-school children are already in primary school.

GOAL 5

GENDER EQUALITY

The practice of child marriage is declining. In North Sulawesi, 16 per cent of women aged 20–24 years were married or in union before the age of 18 in 2015. Levels of child marriage are much higher among girls from the poorest households.

GOAL 6

CLEAN WATER AND SANITATION

Achieving universal access to drinking water, sanitation and hygiene is crucial to further progress in health, education and poverty eradication. Close to six in 10 people used a basic sanitation facility at home in 2015, while 11 per cent practised open defecation. Only 41 per cent of schools have sex-separated toilet facilities. The coverage of improved drinking water sources is higher, both in households and schools.2 Disparities based on wealth and place of residence are pronounced, pointing to the importance of integrating equity considerations into policy and practice and further expanding the community-based total sanitation programme.

PEACE, JUSTICE AND STRONG INSTITUTIONS

Improving levels of birth registration is critical: In 2015, 66 per cent of children under 5 years of age had a birth certificate. There are large differences between urban and rural areas and based on households’ wealth status, due to financial and supply-side barriers.

1 Multidimensional child poverty is defined as children who experience deprivations in at least two of the following dimensions: food and nutrition; health; education; housing; water and sanitation; and protection.
2 Indonesia does not yet have nationally representative data on water quality that can be used to calculate the SDG indicator on the use of safely managed drinking water services. Instead, a nationally-defined proxy measure is used to set a baseline for SDG 6.

ATKINS* Sulawesi (Celebes) is the largest island in the biogeographic region of Wallacea. The Gesneriaceae of the island are represented by 11 genera, some of which show a very high degree of endemism. Knowledge of the origin and affinities of the flora of this island is important for an understanding of the biogeography of the area. The Gesneriaceae promise to be excellent models for phytogeographic analysis, but before this, basic taxonomic studies must be carried out. A list of the currently known genera and species is provided, and descriptions of new taxa will be published over the coming months. Keywords. Biogeography, Gesneriaceae, Indonesia, Sulawesi, Wallacea. The islands of SE Asia comprise one of the most geologically complex regions in the world (Audley-Charles, 1981; Hall, 1996, 1998), at the meeting point of three major tectonic plates. Its turbulent geological history and exceptionally high levels of biological endemism make this region of prime interest to biogeographers. Wallace’s line, one of the most important biogeographic boundaries in the world, bisects the archipelago, and was originally thought to mark the meeting point of the Oriental and Australasian fauna and flora. Since Wallace first drew his line in 1863, many others have been drawn, reflecting different hypotheses based on the distribu- tion patterns of different taxa (summarized in Scrivener et al., 1943; Simpson, 1977). The difficulty of agreeing on a single line eventually resulted in the identification of a zone of transition in the centre of Malesia (Dickerson, 1928).

Sulawesi Island is the largest of these islands occupying about 53% of the island aggrupation located in the northwest part of Wallacea. Because of its tropical climate, its numerous islands, and complex geological history, Wallacea has high biodiversity, with numerous species found nowhere else in the world. Its total number of species is estimated at 11,400 and holds a high probability of undiscovered species due to the area’s isolation and inaccessibility.

Our goal is to provide leaders in the commercial, public, and social sectors with the facts and insights on which to base management and policy decisions. MGI research combines the disciplines of economics and management, employing the analytical tools of economics with the insights of business leaders. Our micro-to-macro methodology examines microeconomic industry trends to better understand the broad macroeconomic forces affecting business strategy and public policy. MGI’s in-depth reports have covered more than 20 countries and 30 industries. Current research focuses on six themes: productivity and growth, financial markets, technology and innovation, urbanisation, labour markets, and natural resources. Recent research has assessed the diminishing role of equities, progress on debt and deleveraging, resource productivity, cities of the future, the future of work in advanced economies, the economic impact of the Internet, and the role of social technology. MGI is led by three McKinsey & Company directors: Richard Dobbs, James Manyika, and Charles Roxburgh. Susan Lund serves as director of research. Project teams are led by a group of senior fellows and include consultants from McKinsey’s offices around the world. These teams draw on McKinsey’s global network of partners and industry and management experts. In addition, leading economists, including Nobel laureates, act as research advisers.
  • Sulawesi Kalossi Toraja

    Sulawesi Kalossi Toraja

    Vournas Coffee Trading, Inc. 805-379-5252 www.vournascoffee.com Sulawesi Kalossi Toraja Our Sulawesi Kalossi Toraja coffee comes from within the Sesean Mountains in the southern Tana Toraja and North Toraja Regencies of this massive Indonesian island province. Sulawesi Kalossi Toraja growers have many conditions suitable for arabica, including volcanic soil, and thick forests that protect their coffee plants and maintain moisture. The area is a main production center of arabica, where a number of small family farms grow and process their own typica and catimor cherries, and use the traditional wet hulled or semi-washed processing method before handing them off to local community collectors. As is tradition throughout Sulawesi and Sumatra, the collectors then transport the harvest to a central dry mill for final preparation, sorting and ultimately exportation. Kalossi is the name given to the nearby market town, where coffee exchanges and trade have historically been done. This Sulawesi Kalossi Toraja cups clean, sweet and slightly earthy. It has a heavy body, low acid, and notes of pepper. Formerly known as a Celebes or Dutch Celebes, the island was governed as a colonial property of the Dutch East Indies up until 1945 when Indonesia declared its independence. The Dutch originally captured Celebes from Portuguese settlers in the mid 1600s, but it is disputed whether the Celebes etymology is either Dutch or Portuguese in origin. Sulawesi is itself comprised of four interconnected finger peninsulas that form a uniquely shaped landmass, with high active volcanic peaks to the north and plentiful resources for arabica production. The Toraja Regencies are located on the South Sulawesi province/peninsula, where coffee plants are often seen growing wild throughout the rugged hillsides.

    Indonesia: Durable Solutions Needed for Protracted Idps As New Displacement Occurs in Papua

    13 May 2014 INDONESIA Durable solutions needed for protracted IDPs as new displacement occurs in Papua At least three million Indonesians have been internally displaced by armed conflict, violence and human rights violations since 1998. Most displacement took place between 1998 and 2004 when Indonesia, still in the early stages of democratic transition and decentralisation, experienced a period of intense social unrest characterised by high levels of inter-commu- nal, inter-faith and separatist violence. Although the overwhelming majority of 34 families displaced since 2006 have been living in this abandoned building in Mata- Indonesia’s IDPs have long returned home at ram, West Nusa Tenggara province, Indonesia. (Photo: Dwianto Wibowo, 2012) least 90,000 remain in protracted displacement, over a decade after the end of these conflicts. Many are unable to return due to lack of government as- sistance to recover lost rights to housing, land and property. In areas affected by inter-communal violence communities have been transformed and segregated along religious or ethnic lines. Unresolved land dis- putes are rife with former neighbours often unwilling to welcome IDPs back. IDPs who sought to locally in- tegrate in areas where they have been displaced, or who have been relocated by the government, have also struggled to rebuild their lives due to lack of access to land, secure tenure, livelihoods and basic services. Over the past ten years, new displacement has also continued in several provinces of Indonesia, although at much reduced levels. According to official government figures some 11,500 people were displaced between 2006 and 2014, including 3,000 in 2013 alone.

Project Background Location: Indonesia is the world’s most biologically diverse country, spanning two of the world’s major biogeographic regions, Australasia and Indo-Malaya, as well as a large transition zone, Wallacea (Sulawesi, Maluku and Nusa Tenggara). This project is located in Sulawesi at the Paguyaman (Nantu) Forest, Gorontalo (0046’N 120016’E). Gorontalo is a new Indonesian province (population 900,000) created in February 2000 by separation from North Sulawesi province. It comprises four major districts (Gorontalo, Bolaemo, Bone-Bolango and Puowato) each with an elected head of government called the Bupati (Regent). The Nantu Forest lies at the boundary of two districts: the reserve is entirely located within Gorontalo district but its southern boundary abuts directly onto Bolaemo. Circumstances: The Paguyaman Forest is one of the few pristine forest ecosystems remaining in Indonesia today. Destruction of Indonesia’s forests is occurring at an alarming rate: more than 20 million hectares of Indonesian forest was destroyed between 1985-1997 (World Bank, 2001).

Abstract Tourism is one of the main economic sector of the North Sulawesi province. One of the highly developed tourism activities are ecotourism. Type of these tourist activities suggest the concept that was more concerned about the value of nature conservation and its environmental services in the destination sites to serve as tourist attractions. The number of foreign tourists visiting in North Sulawesi in 2006 reached 15.902 people and in 2007 reached 20,000 people while in 2008 reached 19.576 people. The number of foreign tourists every year increase 6.46% in 2007, and 13% in 2008 . Globally the growth of ecotourism in 2004 reached three times faster than other tourism industries. Ecotourism is an integrated activity, prioritizes a balance between enjoying the nature beauties and maintain the sustainability of ecosystem services by involving participation of local people and tourists. This paper analyzes the environmental conservation efforts of nature and culture with an emphasis on empowering local communities, community participation in the ecotourism development, and an increase of local community welfare. Keywords : Natural resources, community empowerment, sustainable ecotourism.
