THE PROPOSAL 1. I submit for your approval the following report and recommendation on a proposed loan to the Republic of Indonesia for Emergency Assistance for Recovery and Rehabilitation from Recent Disasters. 2. The emergency assistance loan (EAL) aims to mitigate the adverse social and economic impacts of the recent disasters in Lombok and Central Sulawesi. The emergency assistance is structured to provided immediate and flexible financing for disaster-related recovery and rehabilitation expenditures. II. THE EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE LOAN A. Rationale 3. Indonesia is in one of the world’s most disaster-prone regions. The country is exposed to a range of natural hazards, including flooding, earthquakes, landslides, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, and recently liquefaction.1 Since 1990, Indonesia has experienced an average of 289 significant disasters per year and an average annual death toll of about 8,000.2 The direct economic cost of disasters is about Rp22.9 trillion annually ($1.8 billion).3 The severity and frequency of these disasters stretch national and local government capacity to respond. 4. On 28 September 2018, a magnitude 7.4 earthquake struck Central Sulawesi province, triggering cascading catastrophic events. The earthquake led to a near-field tsunami that struck the coast of Central Sulawesi.4 The earthquake and tsunami triggered landslides and caused liquefaction of soil in several densely populated districts, reportedly burying entire villages and complicating relief and recovery efforts. The disasters in Central Sulawesi were preceded by a devastating magnitude 7.0 earthquake in Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara province in August 2018. 5. Damage reports from the National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB) on Central Sulawesi and West Nusa Tenggara identify severe damage to property, infrastructure, and livelihoods. Figure 1 summarizes key indicators for the two disasters. More than 2,600 people have been confirmed dead, 680 people are still missing, and more than 650,000 people have been displaced. Houses, schools, and health care centers have suffered extensive damage. The movement of people and goods is hampered by damage to hundreds of kilometers of roads, and livelihoods have been hit particularly hard. Field reports suggest that about 29 of the 36-kilometer Gumbasa irrigation system in Central Sulawesi have been completely destroyed. The coastal areas were battered by the tsunami, destroying fishing vessels, ports, and warehouse and cold chain facilities. The risk of liquefaction has rendered much of Palu City unusable, forcing government to explore significant relocation of the city to a new site. BNPB’s initial assessment indicated damage and losses of Rp13.8 trillion ($950 million) for Central Sulawesi and Rp18.2 1 Liquefaction is a process in which sand and silt that is saturated with water loses strength and acts as a fluid when shaken by an earthquake (United States Geological Survey. What is Liquefaction?). 2 Global Facility for Disaster Reduction and Recovery. 3 Government of Indonesia, Ministry of Finance. 2018. Indonesia Disaster Risk Financing and Insurance: National Strategy to Build Fiscal Resilience. Jakarta. 4 Humanitarian Country Team in Indonesia. 2018. Central Sulawesi Earthquake and Tsunami: Humanitarian Country Team Situation Report #5 (as of 23 October 2018). Jakarta. The Humanitarian Country Team comprises United Nations agencies, international and national nongovernment organizations, and the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies. 2 trillion ($1.3 billion) for West Nusa Tenggara, totaling Rp32.0 trillion ($2.2 billion). Of this amount, about Rp24.2 trillion is damage and Rp7.8 trillion is losses.5 6. The human cost of disasters is particularly acute for women and girls, who are especially vulnerable. While the disasters have harmed large segments of the population, experience from other disasters shows that women and girls are likely to be disproportionately affected given preexisting gender inequality and discrimination. Women’s chances of survival in disasters are reduced by trying to protect the children, elderly, and infirm in their care.6 With displacement and the absence of adequate shelter, women and adolescent girls experience limited privacy and are highly vulnerable to sexual harassment and other forms of gender-based violence. Figure 1: Disasters, Damage, and Losses Source: Asian Development Bank (ADB). 7. The economic cost to both provinces will rise when losses in output and household incomes are included. Growth in Central Sulawesi had accelerated past the national average since 2015 and was expected to reach about 7% in 2018 before the disaster. The consequences of the disaster will be most acute for agriculture, fisheries, mining, and quarrying, which jointly account for more than 50% of the province’s economy. While the

Despite the oflcial disbanding of the "Laskar Jihad" there are still ongoing & only partially restrained attacks by the Islamic "Jihad" and their trained followers in Central Sulawesi, Ambon, and North Maluku. The Islamic Jihad is a network or brotherhood consisting of numerous organizations whose goal is the establishing of Islamic Sharia Law throughout Indonesia and Indonesia becoming an Islamic State. Some of the more visionary radical elements aligned with "Jama 'ah Islamiyah " want to establish a S.E.Asian Islamic nation which would then set its goal on conquering, if necessary by force, other nations in the region, such as Australia, for Islam. To the present time these Islamic Jihad forces are acting with impunity and apparent immunity, although the Bali bombing seems to have caused a temporary halt to many of the major attacks, but in their place there has been a massive increase in the numbers of small bombings and bomb-threats throughout the country: 1.

Along with laws concerning the national development plan and regional development that mandate a sustainable development framework, the government has issued President Regulation No. 59/2017 on the implementation of sustainable development goals. The issuance of these recent regulatory frameworks indicates that sustainable development should be taken seriously in development processes. Nevertheless, several factors affect the achievement of sustainable development. This paper investigates how economic, social, and environmental factors could be integrated into regional sustainable development indicators using a new composite index. The index is calculated based on a simple formula that could be useful for practical implementation at the policy level. Three measures of indices are developed: arithmetic, geometric, and entropy-based. The indices are aggregated to be used for comparison purposes among regions in terms of their sustainability performance. Lessons learned are then drawn for policy analysis and several recommendations are provided to address challenges in the implementation stages. Keywords: regional sustainable development index; sustainable development; composite index; regional development goals 1.

  • INTRODUCTION for Nine Years from 1998 to 2007, Poso District In
    CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION For nine years from 1998 to 2007, Poso district in Central Sulawesi province became the site of the most protracted interreligious conflict in post- authoritarian Indonesia. What started as a brawl between two local youths escalated first to urban riots, then to widespread killings and war-like vio- lence, before a long period of sporadic shootings and bombings. Along the way, a little known and sparsely-populated district in the outer islands of Indonesia with no recent history of violence came to global attention as one of the most important theatres of operations for the Jemaah Islamiyah terrorist network. Overall, between 600 and 1000 people were killed out of a pre-conflict population of approximately 400,000 people, and tens of thousands more were displaced amid immense physical destruction. The extent of the destruction wrought during the conflict was captured in a wry local saying, ‘Win and you’re charcoal, lose and you’re ash.’ The onset of violence in Poso coincided with the democratic transition that followed President Suharto’s May 1998 resignation, ending more than 40 years of authoritarian rule in Indonesia. Poso was not the only site to experience large-scale communal fighting during this transition—four other provinces were also rocked by episodes of violence in which several hundred to several thousand people were killed. At a superficial level, this outbreak of violence was not a surprise. Indonesia’s own history and con- temporary circumstances contributed to pessimism that unrest would accompany the end of authoritarian rule. Even as the transition began, three of Indonesia’s then 27 provinces were already gripped by long-run- ning separatist insurgencies, each of which intensified as the central authoritarian regime fell.

    GATHER THE SCATTERED IN KAILI LAND: Pluralism, Religiosity, and Integration of Central Sulawesi Society Andriansyah, Syakir Mahid Universitas Tadulako Jl. Seroja No. 1AB, Palu, 94226 e-mail: [email protected], [email protected] Ismail Suardi Wekke Sekolah Tinggi Agama Islam Negeri Sorong Jl. Klamono-Sorong, KM. 17, Klablim, Sorong 98417, West Papua e-mail: [email protected] Abstract: Based on the ethnic division of the population, Central Sulawesi Province consists of 12 ethnics groups “original,” and many tribal immigrants such as Bugis, Makassar, Java, Bali, and other tribes that have implications for the differentiation of indigenous communities and immigrant communities. The diversity of the tribes is also accompanied by the diversity of their historical background, religion, and culture which might cause friction one another. Based on the existing historical reality, it is showed that the Central Sulawesi region is often hit by ethnic, economic, and religious violences with different intensity. If the diversity among the people of Central Sulawesi is not properly managed, it can lead to disintegration. This article would identify the existence of the plural society in Central Sulawesi and try to formulate the integration efforts of the people of Central Sulawesi. Abstrak: Mengumpul yang Berserak: Pluralisme, Religiositas, dan Integrasi Masyarakat Sulawesi Tengah. Berdasarkan pembagian etnis penduduk, Provinsi Sulawesi Tengah terdiri atas dari 12 etnis asli, dan banyak juga suku pendatang seperti Suku Bugis, Makassar, Jawa, dan Bali yang berimplikasi pada diferensiasi masyarakat asli dan masyarakat pendatang yang berpotensi menimbulkan gesekan antara satu dengan lainnya. Realitas historis menunjukkan bahwa wilayah Sulawesi Tengah sering dilanda kekerasan bermotif etnis, ekonomi dan agama dengan intensitas yang berbeda-beda.
