7 TFCA-Sumatera Annual Report 2013
MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRPERSON OF THE OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE After 3 years of implementing Debt for Nature Swap funds for conservation activities, the TFCA-‐ Sumatera has gained strong confidence to continue its services and improving system of grant making for the conservation of Sumatran rain forest.
Significant efforts have been made to maintain partnership with grantees in order to achieve the objectives set in the Strategic -‐ Plan of 2010 2015. This will support effective management of at least 1 million ha of forests in Sumatera, reduction of deforestation and ecosystem degradation of at least 26% and aining maint and increasing the population and habitat of Sumatran key endangered species through strengthening local community participation, livelihood and empowerment.
To achieve these goals, up to 2013 TFCA-‐Sumatera has launched 4 grant al cycles with a tot of 22 consortium grantees which comprises of 53 individual non-‐government organizations and universities. Three grantees of the first grant cycle have been closed out and another two grantees are extended. The grants are directed to tackle problems which in general can be divided into three levels of intervention: 1. Policy and institution level, 2. Landscape level, and 3. Socio-‐economic level.
In this regard, the achievements of the program may be recognized in three main areas, namely: 1) The Effectiveness of Forest Management; 2) Ecosystem and Endangered Species Restoration and Conservation; and 3) Community Empowerment for Conservation.
A lot of notable achievements made by grantees from cycle 1 to cycle 3. The Oversight Committee is glad to report that some target on the management effectiveness of forest has been exceeded even before the expiration of the current Strategic Plan. For example, the TFCA-‐Sumatera interventions has provide conservation impacts of more than 1,6 million ha of forest across 10 out of 13 prioritized landscapes by facilitating Community Based Forest Management, the development of protected areas management plan, facilitation of protected areas boundary marking, degraded habitat restoration or rehabilitation, forest patrol, and the facilitation of implementation of Resort Based Management for the management of national parks. These were achieved through the intervention at the policy and institution, landscape and -‐ socio economic levels. Other targets need to be assessed or calculated how far they have been achieved.
Grantees and the Administrator have worked collaboratively within the corridor of the TFCA grant policy and procedure. There have a lot of lessons been learned during the process. There are some challenges were confronted to achieve a better management. But I am convinced that this program has made significant contribution to the conservation of forest in Sumatra.
We would like to thank for all the supports and cooperation from all stakeholders, especially grantees, local authorities, local communities and private sectors. Constructive criticism and inputs are welcome to make this program among one of the best for grant making activities in Indonesia and among other programs of TFCA family.

ABOUT TFCA-‐SUMATERA
Tropical Forest Action for Sumatra (TFCA-‐Sumatra) is a -‐ Debt for-‐Nature Swap initiative program under the agreement between the Government of the United States of America and the Government of Republic of Indonesia aimed to preserve the remaining tropical forests in Sumatra. The agreement between the two countries and the swap partners (KEHATI and Conservation International Indonesia) was signed on June 30, 2009 in Jakarta.
Government of the United States of America and the Government of Indonesia agreed to swap Indonesia's foreign debt, amounting to nearly 30 million over 8 years and channeling funds to support the provision of grant funding for local NGOs and universities to undertake conservation of Indonesia’s rainforest. The implementation of the agreement is carried out with the involvement of two NGOs, namely Conservation International and the Indonesian Biodiversity Foundation (KEHATI) as swap partners each of which contributed US$ 1 million, so that the program is also called subsidized debt-‐for-‐nature swap. This is the -‐ first debt for nature scheme between the two countries and is the largest DNS commitment between US Government with a developing country.
The scheme was made possible because of the policy ion of the Forest Conservat Act Tropical (Tropical Forest Conservation -‐ Act TFCA), which was approved by the Congress of U.S. in 1998 as a mechanism to reduce foreign debt for countries with high tropical forest richness. Funds generated by the debt swap program will be directed to protect critical forest habitat in Sumatra. Sumatra region is home to hundreds of species of mammals, birds and plants, many of which have been rare or endangered, including the Sumatran tiger, elephant, rhino and orangutan. The grants are designed to improve natural resource management and conservation efforts, and build sustainable livelihoods for local communities.
The program which then known as TFCA-‐Sumatera is overseen by a body called the Oversight Committee (OC) which consists of s Permanent Member comprising of the representatives of Indonesian Government, represented by the Ministry of Forestry, Government of the United States America, represented by USAID and representatives of CI and KEHATI. In order to make decision-‐ making process more transparent and accurate, the OC designated three non-‐permanent designated members of the independent institutions with the term of service is 3 years. Since the end of 2009, designated members are Transparency International Indonesia, Indonesia inks Business L and Syiah Kuala University. Oversight Committee holds the highest authority in the decision of grants whose daily execution is assisted by KEHATI as the Administrator.

1.1. Introduction The Governments of the U. S. and Indonesia -‐ signed a debt for-‐nature swap agreement on June 30, 2009 that will reduce Indonesia’s debt payments to the U.S. by $ 30 million over eight years. In return, the Government of Indonesia will commit these funds to support grants to protect and restore tropical forests in Sumatra. The agreement was made possible through contributions of $20 million by the U.S. Government under the Tropical Forest Conservation Act of 1998 and a combined donation of $2 million from Conservation International and the Indonesian Biodiversity Foundation (Yayasan Keanekaragaman Hayati Indonesia, or KEHATI). This unique partnership among governments and non-‐governmental organizations was the first, of now two TFCA deals, in Indonesia.
Up to 2013, -‐ TFCA Sumatera has managed to make some progress for the implementation of grant making for restoring and conserving the tropical forest in Sumatera. So far, the program has launched 4 grant cycles with total 22 grantees consists of universities and NGO in Java and Sumatera. The program coverage has embraced almost all of the 13 priority landscapes throughout Sumatera. What’s new in th the 4 grant cycle was the Administrator provides the opportunity for proponents to submit proposal based on thematic issues, in addition to the integrated conservation program on 21 TFCA-Sumatera Annual Report 2013
landscape-‐based activities. The thematic-‐based Conservation Program focus on: 1. Endangered species conservation that includes conservation of Sumatran rhino, elephant, tiger and orangutan 2. Dissemination and implementation of Presidential Decree No. 13/2012 on Sumatra Island-‐ Based Spatial Ecosystem 3. Revision of the Act No. 5 of 1990 on Conservation of Biodiversity Resources and Ecosystems, and 4. Assessment and Capacity Building on onservation tropical forests c of in Sumatra for local NGOs.
1.2 Grant Making Activities 1.2.1 First Grant Cycle (2011-‐2014)
For the first grant cycle, TFCA-‐Sumatera awarded 5 grantees with the total commitment of IDR 23,291,739,800 (US$ 2,587,971). Up to Dec 2013 which is the third year of program, disbursement of the grants has reached IDR 22,514,932,657 (US$ 2,501,659.2) or 96.66 % from the total commitment. Three grantees of the first cycle would have been closed out at the end of 2013 or early 2014. Below is elaboration of the works by each grantee of the first grant cycle, namely Yayasan Leuser international, Penyangga Tengah Kawasan Ekosistem Leuser, PETRA, Jikalahari and Warsi.
1.2.1.1 Yayasan Leuser International
Between June and November 2013, 15 monitoring and patrols activities have been conducted in the village area where human elephant conflicts are frequently take place. Sugar cane will be planted on 90 m x 80 m and 40 m x 60 m area around the CRU camp. An Aceh based NGO, Vesswic and Aceh Elephant Conservation Center (PKG) perform regular medical check up to monitor the health condition of elephants in the CRU. The last checkup was performed in September 2013.
With regard to boundary marking, it has been agreed that the Decree of the Minister of Forestry No 170 of 2000 would be used as the legal basis of boundary marking for Rawa Singkil Wildlife Reserve. Meanwhile, on the field, 460 temporary boundary markers and 46 information signboards had been posted along 46 km of borderline. For permanent boundary marking, 200 concrete boundary markers for the first 20 km have been prepared. Survey on land status resulted the data on illegal logging activities, road and canal in Rawa Singkil Wildlife Reserve.
Restoration project for Rawa Singkil Wildlife Reserve was started in November 2013, as extensive as 50 ha have been planted, involving 50 local communities. There are 23,800 seeds in nursery. On the corridor area, planting activities is started on October 2013 on 1 km of the Naca riverside (approximately 2 ha), a 20 ha area of formerly palm oil plantation, and 8 ha around Fig. 2 Monitoring for boundary marking CRU camp.

1.2.1.2 Penyangga Tengah Kawasan Ekosistem Leuser (PTKEL -‐ Central Buffer for Leuser Ecosystem Area)
The draft of Management Plan for Linge Isaq Hunting Reserve Area has received endorsement and recommendation from the government of Aceh Tengah Regency but which still need approval by the Director General of Forest Protection and Nature Conservation (PHKA). In spite of some delays in the early stage, regular monitoring resulted on information of threats towards biodiversity in Linge Isaq. Rehabilitation project on the critical land of buffer zone village of Linge Isaq wildlife reserve had several activities eventuated: training for sowing seeds, nursery establishment in Linge village, nursery revitalization in Jamat village, and providing seeds (36,500 candlenut, 1,050 dogfruit, 1,050 stink bean and 5,000 sengon).
The consortium has also successfully established 5 local village level cooperatives to accommodate and develop local economic potentials and facilitates the market access for handicrafts, honey and candlenut. The cooperatives and the products have been exposed in Efficient Technology (Teknologi Tepat Guna–TTG) exhibition. First phase of capital support has been distributed to Singkite cooperative of the Delung Sekinel village. Distribution and utilization mechanism of revolving fund is underway and will be a part of Standard Operation Procedure of the cooperative management. PTKEL and the community are currently preparing the construction of clean water facilitation. The establishment of this facilitation is an approach to strengthen the connectivity between human and nature, thus the commitment to protect, nurture and rehabilitate the forest is rooted from communal awareness.
1.2.1.3. PETRA
Petra and local community have worked to protect and manage customary “harangan” forest in six villages of Batang Toru forest – block Batang Gadis National Park corridor. Rehabilitation project took place on 1,099 ha of 2 corridors area, namely Hutaimbaru of Tapanuli Selatan and Lobu Pining of Tapanuli Utara districts and 1,242 ha area of Harangan forest. As much as 40,563 trees are planted by local community from 8-‐restoration group with survival rate reached 70% a real conservation action.
Involving 459 farmers, PETRA disseminated the knowledge on organic farming by means of farmer field school, and designated 70 local facilitators t to sustainably assis the farmers in their respective villages. The production increased by 75% and the price gained 50% more post assistantship from PETRA. In their end of program activities, PETRA and 29 households in Aek Matio Jae village had worked hand in hand to construct Pico-‐hydro power plant with 6 KW capacities in line with protection of forest on the up stream of Aek Matio Jae.

Establishment of a Multi-‐stakeholders Forum of Kampar Peninsula by JIKALAHARI for the sustainable management of fragile peat swamp forest consisted of government agencies, private sectors, universities, and NGOs of Kampar peat land production forest, has become an excellent example of multistakholder management on overseeing the management of 700,000 ha of Kampar Peninsula peat-‐swamp forest. This forum has become a complementary to support Production Forest Management Unit (KPHP) Tasik Besar Serkap under the Riau Provincial Government. The forum has drafted a Governor’s Decree on Spatial Utilization Scheme of Kampar main Peninsula, which will be the reference by all entities working on Kampar peninsula. However, the draft so far remains in the Legal Bureau of the Governor’s office as to wait for the definitive Governor in place. It may have to wait until the new Governor is elected in 2014.
Regarding forest governance and conservation improvement, two Villages have been granted Ministry of Forestry decree on Village st Fore SK. ( 154/Menhut-‐II/2013 and SK. 155/Menhut-‐II/2013) in March 2013, covering a total area of 4,226 ha. In Sungai Rawa village, Jikalahari supported Mangrove Conservationist Group of Sungai Rawa to rehabilitate 12 ha mangrove. In this rehabilitation program, Jikalahari engaged with private company RAPP to assist in financing the nursery.
In addition, JIKALAHARI has also succeeded in organizing local communities to establish one cooperative comprises of 4 neighboring villages in pursuing RSPO certification. Despite the ongoing process in getting the certificate, rs local farme believed that the process had contributed to the increase of yield from farming system intensification they implemented. To improve local livelihood based on local potential, -‐ two women based micro financing institution (Credit Union) has been successfully established in Teluk Binjai and Berbari villages.

KKI-‐Warsi efforts to fight for community sovereignty to manage their forests should be applauded as a big success. -‐ KKI Warsi has gained support from the Provincial Government of West Sumatra and Jambi to established and strengthen 24 village forests and 4 customary forests which cover a total of 70,467 ha forests in Jambi and West Sumatera provinces as buffer zones for the Kerinci National Park landscape. The establishment of community-‐based forest management areas is mandated under the Forestry Law (Law No. 41 of 1999) in which local community may be given permits to manage a portion of State forests for the benefits of the community without undermining the sustainability of the forest.
As part of protecting the remaining forest within -‐ the landscape, KKI WARSI and SSS has successfully encouraged government of West Sumatera province to allocate 250,000 ha of forest area as village and customary forests across the province. While in Muara Bungo district, Jambi, the government has given their commitment to allocate 109,000 ha of Bujang Raba Ecosystem as integrated and learning center area for community-‐based natural resource management and included in the Spatial Plan of the district.
Out of 5,138 ha identified degraded lands at the CBFM area, rehabilitation activities had been successfully implemented on 360 -‐ ha. WARSI SSS has been working closely mmunity with local co to adopt agroforestry concept in their reforestation project, where they combined rubber tree, cacao, or coffee and dipterocarp species such as Meranti. About 104,000 out of 468,460 seeds had been planted with survival rate was approximately -‐ 60 80%.
KKI-‐Warsi has been successful in providing supports and facilitation in the economic development of local people in selected parts of the Kerinci-‐Seblat National Park buffer zone, where the local community is directly connected to the end markets in order to market their products. For example, parallel with the building of capacity to increase the rubber (latex) -‐ production by community, KKI Warsi has also established linked between the community and PT Bridgestone in Medan to develop agreement for nuously conti accepting the community rubber . product With regard to the cinnamon barks production, they have also channeled the community with a company namely PT. Sumatra Tropical Spices in Padang by sending initial 4.1 tones of cinnamon barks to the company.

1.2.4 Fourth Grant Cycle (2014-‐2017)
On the 16th ordinary meeting, the -‐ OC of TFCA Sumatera, the OC decided to determined five priority landscapes and four thematic conservation issues would be g prioritized for fundin in the fourth grant cycle. The landscapes included: 1) Seulawah–Ulu Masen, 2) Toba Barat, 3) Angkola, 4) Batang Gadis National Park and 5) Siberut National Park. A new approach of funding by determining thematic conservation issues also his introduced in t fourth cycle which include 1) support to the review of the Act No 5 of 1990 on Biological Resources Conservation, 2) Facilitation on the dissemination and implementation of Presidential Regulation No. 13/2012 on Spatial Planning for Sumatra, 3) y Capacit Building for NGOs, and 4) Species Conservation, including for Sumatran Rhino, Sumatran Elephant, Sumatran Tiger, and Sumatran Orangutan.
In this forth cycle, in order to shorten the process the proponents were asked to directly send their full proposals to the Administrator, instead of sending concept paper. This decision was taken as there was no apparent difference in the quality of the applications between the two processing procedures. Furthermore directly assessing full proposals would also save time for the administration by cutting one step of application solicitation process without sacrificing the quality of the proposals.
After thorough selection process, five proponents were awarded to become TFCA-‐Sumatera grantees. The NGO/Consortium their and title of applications are as follows:
1. Yayasan Kehutanan Masyarakat Indonesia Proposal: Facilitating Public Consultation on the Revision of Act 5/1990 by Using Sumatera Stakeholders Knowledge and Experience.
2. Yayasan PSE KAM CARITAS Proposal: Protection and Conservation of Dolok Pinapan, Dolok Pontas, Dolok Siguling Ari and West Barus Forest Landscape Based on Forest Ecosystem Management and Sustainable Livelihood. Landscape: Western Toba Catchment Area
3. PADHI Foundation Proposal: Tropical Forest Conservation in Jantho Nature Reserve, Aceh and its surroundings for the improvement of Conservation Areas, Biodiversity and Income Generating for community living around the forest. Landscape: Seulawah -‐ Ulumasen
4. GENESIS Consortium Proposal: Policy Formulation for the Implementation of Presidential Decree No. 13 of 2012 on Ecosystem-‐based Spatial Planning for Sumatera in Mukomuko District of Bengkulu Province.
5. Sumatran Rainforest Institute Proposal: Strengthening the Effectiveness g of Batan Gadis National -‐ Park Rimbo Panti Nature Reserve Landscape Protection through Government, Public, and Private Engagement. Landscape: Batang Gadis National Park 31 TFCA-Sumatera Annual Report 2013
Grantees from the fourth cycle has not been operational yet in 2013 due to some diligence process, improvement of the project design and budget negotiation. The projects were expected to start on June 2014.
1.2.5. Database Management System to Support Grants Administration
The Administrator has developed a new system to increase the effectiveness of program and finance monitoring and evaluation, decision making and reporting by establishing a database system.
The database program was built to get the latest data that should become the shared reference of the real data and update of the program on a single click. Each TFCA-‐Sumatera staff and grantees has access to the system and has to feed the data based on his/her responsibility. The data will be stored in a server that can be accessed everywhere as long as it has Internet connection.
The database includes grantees profile, proposals, progress, performance, achievements, periodic reports and the results of regular monitoring. Using this system, the works on recording and reporting would be substantially reduced as uld the grantees wo directly enter the input into the system. Users with certain access may see the progress of each grantee as it has indicator that indicates targets and achievements been made.
The database also include monitoring system for finance aspect, like account position, withdrawal, transfer and balance of every month.
Access to use database is set in accordance with the right level of the user. Grantees also have access and privilege to enter database but only on data which relate to the works of respective grantee. Grantees should enter their data and information through the TFCA-‐Sumatra website as the interface. The data from grantees will be used to monitor the latest situation and be verified through field monitoring by TFCA staffs. rsight The Ove Committee and some of eligible persons will also be given access to the database.
The project started on June 2013 and up to December 2013, the entry of real data has been in progress and expected can be operational in the . first semester of 2014
1.3. Capacity Building To ensure the effective implementation of the program in the field, the Administrator provide its grantees with capacity building program. This activity is part of Administrator’s commitment to empower grantee’s capacity to prepare them to become a robust self sustained organization in the future.
1.3.1 Training on Feature Writing The Administrator realized that reporting and sharing information through good reports is essential for grantees, Administrator and general public. Translating experiences into publication has been one of the obstacles by grantees. They have a lot of good information but they just unable to put them in a publicly available literature. Realizing this problem the Administrator initiated to conduct training workshop on feature iting wr by inviting all grantees from cycle I to cycle III to attend the training. In the training workshop reports produced or prepared by representatives of grantees need to be polished to make them interesting to read and nd easy digested by public readers a other stakeholders. These are what the training workshop was undertaken for. TFCA-Sumatera Annual Report 2013 32

This training is aimed at supporting the implementation of project activities and grantees financial accountability.
The Administrator provide two kind of trainings: 1. Financial management 2. Program Administration
Financial and project implementation training is normally conducted before the first disbursement of the grant. Assistance is also provided to develop project implementation plan in the forms of Workplan and Performance Monitoring Plan (PMP). The nature of the training is hands-‐on training, where grantees prepare and develop their own book keeping and project implementation planning.
The trainers consist of KEHATI’s staff members and assisted by Oversight Committee Technical Members.
1.4. Outreach and Communications 1.4.1 Interactive Discussion on Community Forest Based Management (CBFM)

1.7. hallenges C TFCA Sumatra faces some challenges, which include effective governance at the level of grant recipients, the low disbursement, policies and issues of local politics and administration capacity.
Development versus conservation is still an issue not only in the policy level but -‐ also for day to-‐day field project implementation. The location of Village Mangrove Conservation Area (KKMD) in Jambi for example will be overlapped with the construction of Deep-‐water Seaport in Tanjung Jabung regency. The analysis on the existing map of the development site showed that 1 out of 6 areas allocated for KKMD will be cut by 50% by the construction.
Another friction between development and conservation takes place in Register 39, Tanggamus Regency, Lampung. A Korean company is licensed to build a hydro power plant in the area where CBFM activities is supported by TFCA, and which has been endorsed by the Ministry of Forestry for two farmer groups. For another farmer group, the boundary between Bukit Barisan Selatan national park and Register 39 has changed because of boundary reconstruction by the BPKH (Ministry of Forestry unit working for forest boundary demarcation). This has become an issue when the community mapped their CBFM area.
Other challenge is to manage growing number of grantees with the same number Administrator staffs. A more effective and efficient system is needed to monitor and evaluate the increasing grantees. The Administrator has been working to set the system to cater increasing number of grantees to ensure the program can be managed effectively and give appropriate impact as intended.
