Poverty Impact Assessment Emergency Assistance for Recovery and Rehabilitation from Recent Disasters (RRP INO 52324-001) POVERTY IMPACT ASSESSMENT A. Sector Performance, Problems, and Opportunities 1. This poverty impact assessment attempts to provide a first evaluation of the impact of the earthquake, tsunami and liquefaction that struck Central Sulawesi on 28 September 2018 as well as the earthquakes that occurred on 29 July, 5 August and 19 August on West Nusa Tenggara.1 Several data sets that are collected by Statistics Indonesia and Bank Indonesia have been used to provide key indicators and develop a baseline profile of the regional economies. Preliminary findings of the economic impact of the disasters based on simulations from IndoTERM2 are used to estimate the impact of the disasters on poverty incidence. It is estimated that the percentage of people falling below the poverty line in Central Sulawesi may increase from 14.01% pre- disaster to 16.39% post disaster, while in West Nusa Tenggara the poverty rate may increase from 14.75% pre-disaster to 16.82% post-disaster. Analysis indicates that the considerable progress made throughout Indonesia towards poverty reduction in recent years risks being setback by the impact of the recent disasters. 2. Primary commodities underpinned strong growth in Central Sulawesi. Economic growth in the province of Central Sulawesi has been outpacing national growth in recent years, as the province has been benefiting from its natural resource sectors that have contributed almost half of growth.3 Within agriculture, plantation crops and fisheries have performed well. In mining, the province is a producer of natural gas as well as raw ores and other energy products. While growth in the province has been strong, Central Sulawesi only accounts for approximately 1% of national GDP. Prior to the disaster, annual economic growth of Central Sulawesi province was expected to be in the range of 6.9% to 7.3% in 2018, with growth to be supported by an increase in export value, gains in resource intensive manufacturing, and an increase in the realization of government spending as well as other seasonal factors.4 Table 1.

Weakening exports performance slowed growth in West Nusa Tenggara. Economic growth in the province of West Nusa Tenggara grew by 0.11% in 2017 as quota restrictions saw the performance of exports, especially copper and other mining exports, decline.5 Outside of mining, growth was supported by improving performance of the agricultural, trade and construction sectors. Economic growth in West Nusa Tenggara is expected to contract in the remaining half of 2018 due to the series of earthquakes that hit the islands in July and August, which is reflected in a decline in consumer confidence in August 2018 and is expected to affect household consumption and the trade sectors. Growth in the province accounts for less than 1% of national GDP. Table 2.

A need to broaden the economic base to foster inclusive growth. Table 3 highlights that per capita GRDP in Central Sulawesi and West Nusa Tenggara provinces is lower than national per capita GDP. In Central Sulawesi strong resources led growth in recent years has seen per capita GRDP grow rapidly and stands at 87% of national per capita GDP.6 However, GRDP per capita in West Nusa Tenggara has hovered at close to 50% of the national average in 5 Bank Indonesia. 2018.

Gross Regional Domestic Product of Provinces in Indonesia by Industry, 2013–2017. Jakarta. 3 recent years. In both provinces economic growth has been narrow and volatile, with performance highly influenced by commodities. Outside of primary commodities, both economies are largely informal, and a large share of the population is vulnerable to economic shocks and natural disasters. For example, manufacturing outside of large-scale resource intensive industries in both provinces is mostly associated with informal micro and small enterprises (MSEs). These enterprises rarely receive government support for business development nor do they use the internet.7 These MSEs tend to finance their business through retained earnings, and only 4% of MSE in Central Sulawesi and 6% of MSEs in West Nusa Tenggara had a bank loan in 2017, mostly from the government’s subsidized credit program, despite access to credit being identified as a primary constraint to doing business. Due to the informality of MSEs, disaster relief support will be hard to target. Table 3.

Most rely on agriculture or services in the informal sector to support their livelihood. The largest providers of employment in Central Sulawesi include agriculture (42%) and trade (14%), followed by manufacturing (9%). 8 In West Nusa Tenggara, most employment is in agriculture (37%), followed by trade (35%) and manufacturing (14%). More than two-thirds of employment in both provinces is informal. With limited social assistance available for the jobless adult population, unemployment is low and labor force participation is high. Both Central Sulawesi’s and West Nusa Tenggara’s women’s labor force participation is higher than the national average, however many of these women work as unpaid workers. With a sizeable informal economy, growth in average wages has remain subdued and a considerable gender wage gap persists (Table 4). Education attainment is comparatively low in both provinces, with approximately 45% of the economically active population with primary school as their highest level of education attainment. Analysis highlights several risk factors for livelihood recovery from the of the impact of the disasters, including lack of income diversification, gender and income inequality, lack of access to finance and other social safety nets, and low levels of education. The implications of these risks include depletion of assets and higher vulnerability to falling into poverty. Table 4.

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.
