STRENGTHENING CIVIL SOCIETY ORGANIZATIONS In a dynamic democracy like Indonesia, the three cornerstones of democratic society – government, the private sector, and civil society – should be equally strong and vibrant. The United States and Indonesia partner to safeguard democracy by building capacity among civil society organizations and supporting their sustainability. Since 1998, Indonesia has made remarkable progress to promote democratic systems and has improved the delivery of public services and civic participation. The United States and Indonesia are committed to supporting a strong and vibrant civil society in order to safeguard democracy. CSOs are valuable representatives of citizen interests, particularly at the local level, but many need improved organizational management, technical expertise, accountability, and sustainable financing and financial management. USAID MADANI USAID’s MADANI Civil Society Support Initiative strengthens government accountability and promotes community tolerance at the local level in Indonesia.

Interim Report The Study on Arterial Road Network Development Plan for Sulawesi Island and Feasibility Study on Priority Arterial Road Development for South Sulawesi Province June 2007 (2) Biodiversity in Sulawesi Island Wallacea is a famous and essential biogeographical island group in eastern Indonesia which includes Sulawesi Island (which is about 178,700 km2). 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.

Ehito Kimura
Marginality and O pportunity in the Periphery: The Emergence of Gorontalo Province in North Sulawesi* Ehito Kimura The Birth of a Province On January 23, 2000, about thirty thousand ethnic Gorontalo from all over the Indonesian archipelago gathered at the local stadium in Gorontalo City. They were there to celebrate "Hari Patriotik, 23 Januari 1942." Patriot Day commemorates local hero Nani Wartabone and the anticolonial rebellion he led that ousted the Dutch from the region. On that fateful day in January, Wartabone famously declared Gorontalo "free from colonialism."* 1 As a practical matter, Gorontalo would endure Japan's brutal wartime occupation as well as Dutch attempts to return to the archipelago after World War II. But the Gorontalo are fiercely proud of Wartabone's words, often noting that they were the first in Indonesia to declare independence, well ahead of Sukarno's declaration in August of 1945.2 The story of January 1942 is therefore one woven into the larger ’ This article is based on fieldwork conducted in North Sulawesi and Gorontalo over several trips during 2004-2005. The author would like to thank Eunsook Jung, Amelia Liwe, Jennifer Munger, Basri Amin, Paul Hutchcroft, Donald Emmerson, and an anonymous reviewer at Indonesia for comments that helped to improve the article. Remaining errors are the author's alone. 1 Alim Niode and Husein Mohi, Abad Besar Gorontalo (Gorontalo: Presnas Publishing, 2003), p. 38. 2 This fact was recounted to me in numerous conversations with informants in Gorontalo. This discourse was also evident in the local media; for example, see newspaper accounts such as "Gorontalo Jumat 1942 Terulang," Harian Gorontalo, October 21, 2000.

Gendered Migration and Agroforestry in Indonesia: Livelihoods, Labor, Know-How, Networks

Synthesizing across two case studies in Indonesia, we focus on five aspects: (i) conditions within the community of origin linked to the reason for people to venture elsewhere, temporarily or permanently; (ii) the changes in the receiving community and its environment, generally in rural areas with lower human population density; (iii) the effect of migration on land use and livelihoods in the areas of origin; (iv) the dynamics of migrants returning with different levels of success; and (v) interactions of migrants in all four aspects with government and other stakeholders of development policies. In-depth interviews and focus group discussions in the study areas showed how decisions vary with gender and age, between individuals, households, and groups of households joining after signs of success. Most of the decision making is linked to perceived poverty, natural resource and land competition, and emergencies, such as natural disasters or increased human conflicts. People returning successfully may help to rebuild the village and its agricultural and agroforestry systems and can invest in social capital (mosques, healthcare, schools).

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.
