What Other Databases and Measurements Are out There? What other databases and measurements are out there? Sabina Alkire, ESCAP, October 2017 The MPI in the Sustainable Development Goals • The Global SDGs, adopted on 25 Sept 2015, address poverty in all its forms and dimensions, opening official space for Multidimensional Poverty Indices. • The first SDG target (1.1) is to end $1.90/day monetary poverty. The second target (1.2): to halve multidimensional poverty. A number of countries are reporting global MPI. • MPIs are used: a) to provide a disaggregated picture so as to leave no one behind; b) to inform multi-sectoral policy; c) to see where overlapping inequalities hit the hardest. What other measure? 4 Methodology for the National and Global MPIs 1. Select Indicators, Cutoffs, Values 3. Identify who is poor 4. Use: MPI, Incidence Intensity & EducationEducation Composition EducationEducation 33% 2. Build a deprivation score for each person MPIs jointly analyse multiple SDGs Example: Global Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) MPI: methodology Statistical methods include: Standard errors and confidence intervals for all statistics Statistical inference for all comparisons Validation for component indicators, alone and jointly Robustness tests for cutoffs and weights Axiomatic properties include: Subgroup decomposability and Subgroup consistency Dimensional breakdown, Dimensional monotonicity Ordinality, Symmetry, Scale and replication invariance, Normalization, Poverty and Deprivation Focus, Weak Monotonicity, and Weak Deprivation Re-arrangement Alkire Foster Seth Santos Roche Ballon OUP 2015 MPIs: National or Comparable Comparable MPIs (Global MPI, ECLAC MPI) - Like $1.90/day and $3.10/day poverty measures - Can also compare countries (& subnational groups, over time) - Could track SDG-1: halve poverty in its many dimensions; - Useful to compare progress and learn from each other. National MPIs: Tailor made for policy - Reflect National Priorities - Compute as official national statistics - Vital for policy: target, coordinate, monitor - Comparable over time, groups, provinces Ecuador Panama Chile Existing Data – Global MPI Online Global MPI Data: National National • MPI, H, A, (k=20%, 33%, 50%) • Destitution, Inequality among poor Urban-Rural Disaggregation • Pop, GNI,

  • 2019 Peatland and Forest Fires in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia Forest Fires Are Emerging As an Urgent and Globally Significant Environmental Problem
    in English No.08 Newsletter 10 March 2020 Toward the Regeneration of Tropical Peatland Societies Newsletter of Tropical Peatland Society Project,Research Institute for Humanity and Nature 2019 Peatland and Forest Fires in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia Forest fires are emerging as an urgent and globally significant environmental problem. Forest fires have tragic and horrifying impacts on both human and non-human beings. Although it did not receive as much international media attention, there was also a massive forest fire in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia, in 2019. In this article, we cover this forest fire and explain our work with the Centre for International Cooperation in Sustainable Management of Tropical Peatland (CIMTROP), Palangka Raya University, toward mitigating the impacts of future forest fires in the region. Kurniawan Eko Susetyo1, Kitso Kusin2, Yulianti Nina2, Yusurum Jagau2, Masahiro Kawasaki3, Daisuke Naito4 In 2019, Indonesia experienced a weak El Niño event, most incidences of fire occurred in Palangka Raya city. which increased the severity of forest and peatland fires In August 2019, there were more than 300 incidences of in both Kalimantan and Sumatra. Some provinces – fire in Palangka Raya – about three times more than in such as Central Kalimantan, South Kalimantan, Riau, Pulang Pisau regency. This past year, fires in Palangka South Sumatra, and Jambi – have been covered in thick Raya began to increase in May – two months earlier smoke and haze for several months.

    World Population Year THE POPULATION ii OF DONES 1974 World Population Year THE POPULATION OF INDONESIA C.I.C.R.E.D. Series TABLE OF CONTENTS Preface 3 Chapter I. Population Growth 5 Chapter II. Component of Growth 12 Chapter III. Population Composition 22 Chapter IV. Population distribution and Internal Migration • 40 Chapter V. The Labour Force 51 Chapter VI. Population Projections 67 Chapter VII. Economic and Social Implications and policy 76 Conclusion 91 PREFACE This country monograph for Indonesia is prepared at the request of CICRED as a part of its contribution to the objective of the World Population year 1974. Never in history has there been a greater concern about world population growth as is demonstrated at present by the countries in the United Nations system. The terrifying world population explosion is currently very evident in the developing part of the world to which almost all countries in Asia belong. Unless these countries can successfully cope with the population problems before the turn of the century, they will face a desperate situation in their efforts for social and economic development. Indonesia too is currently engaged in the global battle to contain the accelerating population growth for the success of the development plan. The articles presented in this monograph are produced by the staff members of the Demographic Institute of the Faculty of Economics, Univer- sity of Indonesia at Jakarta. The main objective of this report is to present a brief picture of the demographic condition in Indonesia based on hitherto available sources of data. It does not pretend to be complete and impeccable, but the composers do hope that their effort could cast some beaconing lights on the historical, contemporary and prospective population in Indonesia.

  • The Case of Central Kalimantan Province, Indonesia
    Quarterly Journal of International Agriculture 54 (2015), No. 1: 77-100 Governance, Decentralisation and Deforestation: The Case of Central Kalimantan Province, Indonesia Aritta Suwarno and Lars Hein Wageningen University, The Netherlands Elham Sumarga Wageningen University, The Netherlands, and School of Life Sciences and Technology, ITB Bandung, Indonesia Abstract The implementation of the decentralisation policies in Indonesia, which started in 2000, has fundamentally changed the country’s forest governance framework. This study investigates how decentralisation has influenced forest governance, and links the forest governance to deforestation rates at the district level. We measure and compare the quality of forest governance in 11 districts in Central Kalimantan province in the periods 2000-2005 and 2005-2010 and relate forest governance to deforestation rate. This study shows that decentralisation has led to marked differences in forest govern- ance between districts and that deforestation rates is strongly related to the change of forest governance. We recommend revisiting the Indonesian forest governance framework to ensure more checks and balances in decision making, better monitoring and increased transparency, with particular support for Forest Management Units as a new tool for forest management, and government support to facilitate the design and implementation of REDD+ projects. Keywords: Indonesia, decentralisation, deforestation, forest governance JEL: H110 1 Introduction Indonesian forests account for around 2.3% of global forest cover (FAO, 2010) and represent 44% of the Southeast Asian forested area (KOH et al., 2013). According to the Indonesian Ministry of Forestry (MOF, 2011), the total designated forest area in Indonesia was about 131 million ha. In 2009/2010, approximately 98 million ha of the designated forest area was still forested (MOF, 2011).

Through the "Aid to Uprooted People" programme, the EC supports internally displaced people (IDPs), refugees, returnees and ex‐ combatants to reintegrate into society. Projects to date have supported the material and non‐material needs of people affected by the social and ethnic conflicts which erupted between 1998‐2000 in the Indonesian provinces of Maluku, North Maluku, Central Sulawesi, West Timor and Central Kalimantan. Since 2005, when the peace agreement was signed in Aceh, the EC has supported the reintegration of ex‐combatants. 1.

There are still Received in revised form 4 November 2009 considerable uncertainties about carbon stocks in tropical rain forest, coming essentially from poor Accepted 8 November 2009 knowledge of the quantity and spatial distribution of forest biomass at the landscape level. We evaluate the influence of site and topography on forest structure, biomass and carbon stock over a Keywords: forested landscape in Sumatra. Sixteen sites were selected across a landscape of ca. 1000 km2, and within Carbon stocks each site, a network of small 0.1 ha plots was laid down perpendicular to the major topographical Above-ground biomass gradient. Structural parameters for trees with diameter bigger or equal to 10 cm and major life forms Landscape-scale variation Tropical rain forest were recorded for each plot.
