BIJAK Annual Work Plan – FY 2018 vi EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Project Background
USAID BIJAK is a five-year (2016 – 2021) project designed to promote enduring changes in individual and organizational behaviors that reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and conserve valuable marine and terrestrial biodiversity. To accomplish this, BIJAK will work at the national level, with a range of stakeholders, to improve the management of forests and conservation areas, and strengthen protections for marine and terrestrial wildlife threatened by illegal or unsustainable trade.
BIJAK Approach
The USAID BIJAK work plan is designed and is being implemented in accordance with the USAID’s Biodiversity and Sustainable Landscape Policy. Drawing from key lessons learned and challenges faced during the first year of project implementation, and in accordance with BIJAK’s adaptive management approach, BIJAK has identified two key technical themes under which the project will structure its programming moving forward. These will provide a framework for more focused and targeted activities to achieve greater impact and more effectively promote the adoption of individual and organizational behaviors which contribute to a reduction of GHG emissions and increase in marine and terrestrial biodiversity conservation. Technical theme one (TT1) incorporates activities and strategies to improve the management of conservation areas and improve forest management. The focus of technical theme two (TT2) is to combat wildlife trafficking.
Accordingly, based on an updated analysis of drivers and threats to biodiversity, BIJAK has adjusted its theory of change by integrating its four main programmatic components1 to achieve these two goals of improving conservation area and forest management and increasing protection for key species. The theory of change (TOC) outlines how BIJAK’s interventions, or “strategic approaches” are expected to lead to specific conservation outcomes. BIJAK will continue to work at the national level, but will continue to be closely linked to, learn from, and “scale up” innovative local level approaches and polices identified by USAID LESTARI and other partners. As one of several international actors active in low emissions and biodiversity programming, BIJAK will continue to work towards facilitating linkages within and across sectors – government, the House of Representatives (DPR), civil society organizations (CSOs), research institutions, and the private sector – to jointly develop and implement effective change.
The project’s logic is that by successfully conducting programs and activities implementing the strategic approaches, BIJAK will promote progress toward each technical theme result, which in turn will support the achievement of the project’s overarching goal – to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and conserve valuable marine and terrestrial biodiversity. As noted in the task order contract, many of the contract goals “are outside of the direct control of the contractor and lie within the control of Indonesian policymakers, institutions, the public, and stakeholders.” Yet this structure and plan provide a clear and logical framework for BIJAK to work in partnership with the Indonesian government and non-government partners to facilitate the changes BIJAK is designed to support.
The BIJAK project structure and work plan were developed based on the project’s updated theory of change, listed below, along with an overview of the focus for each technical theme.
Theory of change (TOC) – FY 2018 (Project Year 2):
1 1) improved low carbon and conservation oriented land use governance, 2) improved management of conservation areas and protection of key marine and terrestrial species, 3) improved private sector and land-based industry practices (primarily palm oil), and 4) improved constituencies for conservation.
BIJAK Annual Work Plan – FY 2018 1
BIJAK will influence and promote lasting changes in individual and organizational behaviors to reduce the principal threats to forests and species in Indonesia such as large scale commercial activities, small scale farming, uncontrolled wildfires, and wildlife poaching and trade. As individuals and organizations begin to adopt these low carbon, conservation-oriented behaviors, conservation area and forest management will be improved, and wildlife trafficking will be reduced. This will ultimately lead to a reduction in biodiversity loss and greenhouse gas emissions overall.
Technical Theme 1: Improving Management of Conservation Areas (CA) and Forests Improving Management of Conservation Areas BIJAK will focus on strengthening conservation area (CA) management frameworks and systems, including strengthening the regulatory framework for conservation forest management units (FMUs), resort based management, and conservation partnerships, alongside the development of a site-to-national level system for adaptive and data-driven decision making. BIJAK will also provide technical and capacity building assistance to the Government of Indonesia (GoI) to conduct CA spatial planning, resolve oil palm encroachment in national parks, and carry out communications and outreach activities. These efforts will be strengthened and sustained through the development of strong national park constituencies. Together these will address threats faced by CAs, and will ultimately result in CAs that are well managed, so that the forests and biodiversity within them are effectively conserved. Improving Management of Forests BIJAK will support needed reforms to strengthen the institution and organization of FMUs across Indonesia, along with effective tools for them to implement multiple use forest management for the long-term benefit of citizens, the economy and the environment. This will be further supported by adequate public financing supplemented by additional revenue sources. In addition, BIJAK will strengthen policies and processes to protect areas of high conservation value and high carbon stock outside of designated forest areas that are at risk of conversion and degradation. Together these will result in better management of forests for their long-term conservation.
Technical Theme 2: Increasing Protection of Key Species Combating Wildlife Trafficking BIJAK will achieve reductions in wildlife trafficking by building capacity within key line agencies to update, operationalize and enforce the legal and policy framework for species protection. This will be complemented by carrying out a comprehensive communications and demand reduction strategy targeted both at increasing commitment for more decisive and effective efforts to eradicate wildlife crime and to shift people away from purchasing, keeping or using threatened wildlife or their body parts.

BIJAK Annual Work Plan – FY 2018 3 INTRODUCTION
Context Indonesia is endowed with the greatest combined concentration of marine and terrestrial biodiversity on earth, and is rich in forest, marine, mineral and fresh water resources. While at least 30 million people directly depend on Indonesia’s forests and on the ecosystem services they provide, these ecosystems have been and continue to be under extreme threat. The loss of forest habitat is a principle threat to biodiversity, but the exploitation of wildlife and wildlife products as exotic pets, food, or for their skin, fur, or other body parts also present an increasing threat to biodiversity.
Project Background USAID BIJAK is a five-year (2016 – 2021) project designed to promote enduring changes in individual and organizational behaviors that reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and conserve valuable marine and terrestrial biodiversity. To accomplish this, BIJAK will work at the national level, with a range of stakeholders, to improve the management of forests and conservation areas, and strengthen protections for marine and terrestrial wildlife threatened by illegal or unsustainable trade. As a facilitator and supporter of change, BIJAK will work with Indonesian policymakers, civil society organizations, private sector entities, research institutions, and other stakeholders to contribute to the following high-level results:
• Number of national level laws, policies, regulations, decrees, procedures, or fiscal and budgetary practices reformed, revised, adopted and/or applied with USG assistance in order to reduce GHG emissions, reduce wildlife trafficking, and conserve valuable terrestrial and marine biodiversity. • Improved capacity and willingness of Indonesian institutions and organizations to address biodiversity conservation, especially wildlife trafficking, and climate change as a result of USG assistance • Number of businesses engaged in extensive land-use practices, especially palm oil, developing green business practices and sharing them widely with others in their industry with USG assistance. • Amount of investment leveraged in USD from private and public sources for biodiversity conservation and/or climate change as a result of USG assistance • Public opinion and behaviors changed as a result of advocacy campaigns developed and implemented with USG support to support targeted terrestrial and marine biodiversity conservation and low carbon development issues. • Model(s) for successful low emissions development and forest conservation developed and shared with USG assistance at all levels of government and with other key stakeholders.
BIJAK is being implemented by prime contractor Chemonics International, in partnership with the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) and the Partnership for Governance Reform (Kemitraan).
Review of BIJAK’s First Year of Implementation and Way Forward A number of reflections and lessons have informed the development of the new fiscal year plan which will run from October 1, 2017 to September 30, 2018 (BIJAK Year 2). Since its inception in June 2016, BIJAK began implementing activities under each of the following technical components, as per the BIJAK contract:
• Improved low carbon and conservation oriented land use governance • Improved management of conservation areas and protection of key marine and terrestrial species
BIJAK Annual Work Plan – FY 2018 4 • Improved private sector and industry practices • Improved constituencies for conservation
Year 1 activities produced substantial achievements as well as important milestones on the way to longer-term outcomes. Some examples of these included: enhancing systems for the GoI to assess and improve terrestrial and marine protected area management effectiveness (i.e. the management effectiveness tracking tool/METT and the evaluation of the management effectiveness of marine conservation, coastal areas and small islands/ EKKP3K); improving the regulatory framework for species protection (i.e. a new shark protection regulation, updates to the Conservation Law and Protected Species List); providing technical assistance and facilitating public participation to strengthen land use governance instruments (i.e. the Long-term National Forestry Plan / RKTN) and palm oil standards (i.e. the Indonesian Sustainable Palm Oil / ISPO); and building the capacity of a range of actors—judges, prosecutors, journalists, and e-commerce businesses—to address wildlife crime.
In BIJAK’s first year of implementation the project achieved a range of key results in line with the theory of change and Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning Plan. A complete description is available in the BIJAK Year 1 Annual Report. • 1 national level regulation enacted incorporating concepts or language on sustainable land use governance, recommended by BIJAK • 6 national level draft laws, regulations, decrees, or policies proposed incorporating concepts or language on sustainable land use governance, biodiversity conservation, and sustainable business practices recommended by BIJAK and partners with BIJAK assistance • 99 people trained in sustainable landscapes as a result of BIJAK assistance • 223 policymakers who received policy inputs from BIJAK and/or partner CSOs, think tanks, or coalitions • 185 sub-national level institutions/organizations involved in policy processes at a national level, through BIJAK support • 65 forums convened by BIJAK or BIJAK partners to discuss or develop action plans or policy recommendations in support of BIJAK objectives • 9 collaborative initiatives on sustainable landscapes and biodiversity conservation involving CSOs, think tanks, business entities/associations, and/or concerned government officials with BIJAK support (a measurement of policy community interactions) • 4 private sector entities that took actions to stop trade in wildlife facilitated by BIJAK • 4 monitoring actions conducted by CSOs/think tanks resulting in recommendations for government or private sector entities as a result of BIJAK assistance • $ 285,668 leveraged in USD from private and public sources for biodiversity conservation and/or sustainable landscapes as a result of BIJAK assistance • 120 stories featuring BIJAK’s or BIJAK-supported partner’s sustainable landscapes or conservation messages covered in media
While BIJAK has made considerable progress in Year 1, the project identified the need to select a more focused set of issues moving forward, to be able to maximize impact. During August 2017, BIJAK held a series of brainstorming and planning sessions internally and with USAID to define the most strategic opportunities to pursue in Year 2. Reflecting on the first year of implementation, one significant lesson learned was that the span of the project’s technical themes was too broad, as was the sheer number of issues BIJAK worked on. Addressing the multitude of opportunities presented in the BIJAK contract was resulting in a disparate focus and technical components tended toward isolation from one another. Furthermore, many issues require prolonged investments in order to bear fruit, rendering it difficult to demonstrate
BIJAK Annual Work Plan – FY 2018 5 comprehensive results, either on a single policy issue or in terms of unifying themes that reinforce each technical theme. Based on this reflection, BIJAK’s approach for the second year has undergone a significant adjustment. Beginning in Year 2 (Fiscal Year 2018), BIJAK will integrate its four programmatic components to achieve the following:
• Improved conservation area and forest management • Increased species protection
Fundamental to BIJAK’s theory of change in the first year was the assumption that it would be tested and refined on an ongoing basis. The project team worked together to update the theory of change around threats to ecosystems and species and determined key strategic approaches to achieve:
• Targeted interventions to mitigate GhG and improve natural resources management • Leveraging LESTARI and other on-going or recent efforts • Maximum potential for buy-in and ownership with related government partners including Bappenas and MoEF as the project’s primary counterparts • Alignment with U.S. Government (USG) priorities and comparative advantages
The following is a graphic description of BIJAK’s revised integrated approach to meeting project goals: Figure 1. BIJAK Overview

In sustained after the life of the project some cases, BIJAK utilized existing coalitions and alliances, such as the working group on social forestry and the Civil Society Conservation Working Group to enrich the quality of interactions with policy makers. One notable effort in Year 1 was BIJAK’s success in building a platform for coordination between the Conservation Working Group and the Forum for Deans of Forestry Faculties in Indonesia (FOReTIKA) and facilitating their communication with the Parliament to present their recommendations on the Conservation Law. In Year 2, with greater clarity on the core issues and policies to be targeted, BIJAK will put into place a systematic approach to building policy communities, by awarding complementary grants, providing grantees with capacity building, and facilitating their collaboration with policymakers. Additionally, by focusing policy community activities under grants on policy and rule-making, as opposed to the pure advocacy approach commonly used to influence change, partners will develop critical engagement skills and be better positioned to achieve tangible policy improvements. Policy communities will center around the following three BIJAK strategic approaches: • Strategic Approach 1.2.2: Expanding the use of innovative funding and financing strategies to incentivize forest conservation and low emissions development • Strategic Approach 1.2.3: Protecting areas of High Conservation Value (HCV) and High Carbon Stock (HCS) in non-forest lands (APL) • Strategic Approach 2.1.1: Revise and update the legal and policy framework, and build capacity to confront the illegal or unsustainable trade in wildlife, and meet national commitments to CITES BIJAK will assist policy community stakeholders to take the following key steps: 1. Assess key issues and identify opportunities to influence policy 2. Agree on an agenda

BIJAK TECHNICAL THEMES
Technical Theme 1: Improving Management of Conservation Areas and Forests
1.1 IMPROVING MANAGEMENT OF CONSERVATION AREAS
OVERVIEW OF YEAR 2 PLANS
Indonesia’s network of 527 Conservation Areas (CA) covering a combined 27.5 million hectares plays an essential role in protecting Indonesia’s remaining areas of high conservation value. In Year 2, BIJAK will partner with the Directorate General of Ecosystem and Natural Resources Conservation (KSDAE) to improve the management of conservation areas by:
BIJAK Annual Work Plan – FY 2018 8 • Strengthening management frameworks and systems for a) CA zonation and blocking to delineate appropriate uses within CAs, b) conservation forest management units, c) resort based management3, and d) data-driven decision making • Reinforcing management capacity, collaboration and coordination to reduce encroachment from palm oil • Building and strengthening national park constituencies
DESCRIPTION OF YEAR 2 ACTIVITIES
Strategic Approach 1.1.1: Strengthen conservation area management frameworks and systems Where protected area monitoring and management are weak, and land tenure and land zonation around these areas is unclear, opportunities exist for individuals and communities to encroach into conservation areas without fear of arrest or prosecution. This access brings people into ever closer contact with wildlife, and facilitates increased levels of hunting and poaching, and agricultural encroachment. Strengthening efforts to improve conservation area management and building on lessons for site based approaches is critical in tackling the supply side of wildlife trafficking and to reduce both deforestation and ecosystem degradation.
Building on Year 1 efforts to address these threats to Indonesia’s conservation areas (CAs), BIJAK will assist KSDAE to advance implementation of two priority management frameworks to help field staff, and the national team charged with oversight, improve the management of protected areas. The first is the integration of the conservation forest management units (KPHK) framework with the existing structure for managing conservation areas. The second is the roll-out of a resort based management (RBM) approach at a national scale. The figure below illustrates how a well-functioning RBM system can contribute to better CA-wide and national planning and management of Indonesia’s biodiversity strongholds.
BIJAK will also assist PIKA with the completion of zoning and blocking of CAs which is a technical approach used to develop thematic conservation maps. The process of developing the maps involves community participation, and the maps themselves guide the appropriate uses within the CAs which are determined based on the potential of natural resources and the ecosystem, the level of interaction with local people; and importance of the area. These become fundamental references for the CA management plans and RBM strategy. Once submitted to and accepted by the Geospatial Information Agency (BIG), they become part of the Indonesia One Map. Finally, initiated in Year 2 and continued in subsequent years, BIJAK will support KSDAE in conceptualizing, designing and rolling-out an upgraded conservation area management and information system (MIS), that among other functionalities will systematize the collection of site-level patrol data from resorts, to be aggregated and used to inform better CA-wide planning, monitoring and deployment of resources. The MIS will also provide national-level staff with a platform for monitoring CA performance nationwide (called SITROOM).
3 The resort based management approach (RBM) devolves operational management of protected areas to the smallest administrative units within the parks, known as resorts, to improve management effectiveness.

BIJAK Annual Work Plan – FY 2018 17 Strategic Approach 1.1.2: Reinforce management capacity, collaboration and coordination to reduce oil palm encroachment
Thousands of hectares of forests in Indonesia’s conservation areas (CAs) are reported to have been illegally encroached upon and converted into widespread plantations of oil palms, and other agricultural commodities. Palm oil in particular has proven to be a significant driver of deforestation in these areas, with a multitude of illegal oil palm plantations often linked to the supply chains of multinational companies, including those who have pledged to eliminate deforestation from their supply networks. CA managers, both at the site level and at the level of central government, are often unable to respond to and resolve these encroachments effectively as they are happening at a speed and scale which outstrips their capacity to mount effective responses. Key limitations include: 1) a lack of reliable data that enables park managers to prioritize responses (and the allocation of human and financial resources) to tackle oil palm encroachment; 2) a lack of understanding of the available avenues to stop encroachments from oil palm; and 3) a need for greater coordination across involved stakeholders including CA management, national-level KSDAE staff, Gakkum, KPK, communities in and around CAs, and private sector actors from the palm oil industry. In order to redress this balance, systematic information and approaches are needed to enable CA staff to understand the current and future threats from oil palm encroachment, and that prioritize responses and resources towards the areas of most critical need. In Year 2, BIJAK will therefore collect and analyze data on oil palm encroachment to build comprehensive encroachment risk models for three target areas: 1) Gunung Leuser National Park (Aceh/North Sumatra), Sebangau National Park (Central Kalimantan), and Lorentz National Park (Papua), identified by KSDAE as high-priority areas for defining effective strategies to stop encroachment. BIJAK support will be synchronized with the DG KSDAE’s plans to develop “role model” activities in several conservation areas, notably Gunung Leuser National Park (TNGL). Using existing data from KSDAE, CIFOR, Global Forest Watch, Forest Watch Indonesia and others on the location of licensed oil palm plantations, and in collaboration with Korsup Sawit KPK, BIJAK and KSDAE, will conduct a risk and prioritization assessment for each national park to identify areas of current oil palm encroachment, as well as those at risk for future conversion. This assessment will build on available satellite imagery and GIS analysis, and where possible will include verified field reports from national park staff. Particular attention will be paid to differentiating licensed company concessions within conservation areas from smallholder owned and managed oil palm plantations, as this will determine the points of leverage for addressing encroachment. The area of existing conversion within licensed concessions will also be compared with the remaining forest area within concession boundaries in order to map future likely deforestation. The initial study will also identify major plantation and mill operations and owners by using known parameters (e.g. mill capacity needed for a given number of hectares of palm and maximum distance from plantation to mill) and building on Global Forest Watch’s work on mill footprints. We can also deduce the scope of operations that cannot be identified via high resolution aerial photography. Starting with these initial data findings and analysis, we will develop maps of the three sites identifying probable locations of the most substantial oil palm operations. The lessons and methods used in this assessment will be replicable throughout other protected areas in Indonesia. Building on the risk and prioritization assessment, BIJAK will then collaborate with KSDAE and the national parks to develop encroachment typology reports detailing the various types and characteristics of oil palm encroachment found in the target areas. For each typology, the report will lay out a series of specific, practical and reasonable steps that can be taken by site managers, and by managers in central government to tackle oil palm encroachments, to empower them to act effectively. Actions that can be taken through partnerships with the private sector will be a particular focus of each report, building on the information on mill and plantation owners from the prior risk and prioritization assessment. Recommendations may include direct referrals to enforcement agencies for action, in the case of the largest and most flagrant violations, or where encroachments were a result
BIJAK Annual Work Plan – FY 2018 18 of unclear or ill-defined boundaries alternate approaches may be needed that could consider the use of existing conflict resolution mechanisms, re-zoning, resettlement plans and compensation schemes. The options laid out within these reports will have applicability across other conservation areas in Indonesia and will form the basis for established protocols for addressing oil palm encroachment that BIJAK will work with KSDAE to formalize beginning in Year 3. With the support of KSDAE, the findings of the risk and prioritization assessments and typology reports will be publicly released to demonstrate the efforts made to understand and halt encroachment from oil palm, and to leverage engagement from implicated parties in the private sector who source from problem mills or plantations. BIJAK will also work with the media and CSO partners to amplify the resulting messages from the studies to garner public support and encourage continued monitoring of efforts to restore critical biodiversity within Indonesia’s conservation areas. Following the completion of these studies BIJAK will support KSDAE to organize workshops with managers of each of the three target areas, DG KSDAE, and Korsup KPK with the aim of developing concrete, time-bound action plans to halt and reverse encroachments in each of the three target areas, and potentially additional areas that become the priority of KSDAE within its ‘role model’ campaign. As part of this effort, BIJAK will facilitate meetings between relevant private sector actors (mill/plantation owners), heads of parks and KSDAE to agree on coordinated actions to be taken. Where necessary, BIJAK may also seek support from industry bodies (e.g. Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil, and the Indonesian Sustainable Palm Oil) to leverage company engagement in initiatives to reduce encroachment from oil palm in the target areas. The subsequent action plans will be in line with guidelines incorporated into the MoEF Regulation No. 83/2016 on social forestry and the Presidential Regulation No. 88/2017 on land tenure settlements in forestry areas. The plans will transfer responsibility to park managers and detail the necessary steps needed to make progress. In parallel, KSDAE’s use of the integrated management information system (see Activity 1.1.1.D above) will enable monitoring of progress towards this goal.

BIJAK Annual Work Plan – FY 2018 21 Strategic Approach 1.1.3: Build and strengthen national park constituencies
A final aspect of BIJAK’s plan to improve management of Indonesia’s conservation areas is to build and expand the country’s national park constituencies. Broadly, BIJAK will develop and implement a social marketing campaign aimed at boosting national pride in Indonesia’s national parks and encouraging volunteerism and advocacy to improve and protect them. The project will also help to standardize and professionalize KSDAE’s and the national park’s media and outreach efforts, building a recognizable brand and consistent messages promoting conservation values and responsible park use. National parks should be a significant point of pride for the people of Indonesia. Increased awareness about the environmental value of the parks, the importance of preserving them, and a better understanding about how visitors can responsibly visit the parks and contribute to their well-being are important elements to building national park constituencies. At present, park outreach and interaction with the public through the media and online platforms is inconsistent and generally ineffective. For example, park websites follow no standard design template or information parameters, making it difficult for interested citizens or prospective visitors to learn about the parks. Social media activity is ad hoc and lacks any consistent messaging or strategy. A key aspect to BIJAK’s approach to building and strengthening national park constituencies will be to enhance and professionalize KSDAE’s communications approach and tools. BIJAK will lead an effort to assist KSDAE to develop a formal communications plan and marketing strategy that assigns responsible government communications personnel and a budget. This strategy will need to define key messages, social and traditional media engagement protocols, and parameters for the types of information that should be shared with the public. Based on the resulting strategy, we will work with KSDAE to standardize and professionalize the national park websites. The effort will help to create a recognizable online brand for the parks, ensure that official park sites are easily located through online searches, define a standardized set of information fields that are aimed at providing the public with interesting and useful content about the parks. Through this, we will also explore the possibility of equipping these sites to aid in visitor management functionality. For example, the standardized site templates may include the option of an online visitation permit application form that requires prospective visitors to watch a short informational video on rules for park visitation (e.g. trash disposal guidelines and prohibitions on interacting with the fauna and flora inappropriately). To increase public awareness of Indonesia’s national parks, BIJAK will design or enhance the brand recognition and reach of existing park campaigns (such as KSDAE’s “Ayo ke Taman Nasional”). Using a social marketing approach, the national campaign will set out to build a sense of national pride in and public ownership of Indonesia’s natural wonders, particularly among Indonesia’s young men and women. It will aim to build national park constituencies, consisting of citizens that are motivated to volunteer at parks and advocate for parks. BIJAK and KSDAE will draw on the expertise of the United States Department of the Interior (DOI) and its recent success in launching a similar initiative in the U.S. and is already partnering with the Government of Indonesia through its Sister Parks activity. In parallel, BIJAK will work with and mentor KSDAE and through them, target national parks, to improve their media engagement strategy, build social marketing competencies, and sustain the momentum generated by BIJAK.

OVERVIEW OF YEAR 2 PLANS
BIJAK Year 2 work in this area will strengthen forest governance with a prioritization on institutional and operational strengthening of Forest Management Units (FMUs) as permanent local forest management organizations. This will be carried out by building governmental and non-governmental collaboration around the FMU experience to date to improve national forestry program planning and budgeting processes. BIJAK will assist in institutionalizing operational guidance to improve the core functions of FMUs, including developing forest management plans, monitoring, collaboration with local communities and other stakeholders in forest planning and management, and workforce management. Finally, BIJAK will scale up models for innovative conservation financing and strengthen policies and guidance to protect intact forests and important biodiversity found outside the permanent forest estate (Kawasan Hutan), in non-forest lands (Area Penggunaan Lain – APL).
DESCRIPTION OF YEAR 2 ACTIVITIES
Strategic Approach 1.2.1: Strengthen Forest Management Units (FMUs) to implement effective multiple use forest management According to a 2011 Ministry of Forestry report9, the FMU approach offers the most promising prospects among available management strategies for achieving Indonesia’s twin forest management goals: sustainability of forest resources and public prosperity. It is expected that when the FMUs operate as designed, they will achieve the goals of sustainable forest management. Since 2010, the Government of Indonesia has invested in the development of FMUs. It has designated all forest areas under FMU authority, developed and strengthened institutions, created the long-term forest management plan (RPHJP), built capacity of forest managers, and provided support for forest management activities in the field through the responsible directorates at the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (MoEF). However, seven years on, FMUs face a number of challenges. In particular, the Decentralization Act No. 23/2014 transferred management authority from the district level to the provincial level. Many provincial governments continue to be unprepared for this shift and are failing to take up the new mandate and the general public have little knowledge or appreciation for the importance of sustainable forest management. President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo’s administration has also placed a high priority on the development of social forestry, aiming to allocate 12.7 million hectares of forest area to be managed by communities by 2019. As such, FMUs should be well equipped to work collaboratively with communities on forest management. Indonesia’s FMUs have also been hampered by a recent focus on the self-generation of resources to finance operations. This runs the risk of limiting their ability to achieve sustainability and prioritize the forest for use as public land for the public’s benefit. Working with US Forest Service (USFS) and USAID LESTARI, as well as in coordination with related donor efforts, BIJAK will work closely with Bappenas and the MoEF to re-invigorate FMUs as the primary government institution in charge of managing and promoting multiple uses of forests for the benefit of the people and the environment. BIJAK will review the current policy framework that guides FMU development, as well as the existing technical guidelines on forest management, in order to promote the adoption of multiple use forest management concepts. Budget limitations have caused many of the FMUs that remained operational after the 2014 regulatory change many to be overly focused on financial independence. While budgetary considerations are important to ongoing operations, an excessive prioritization of generating revenues has a tendency to

BIJAK Annual Work Plan – FY 2018 31 distract FMUs from their core mission to manage the forest area in a way that achieves sustained social, economic and environmental benefits. As a result, management strategies to maximize the public benefit, through activities such as recreation, tourism, and the provision of environmental services, such as improved watershed management, have been underdeveloped. As the forest management authority, the government has a responsibility to ensure society enjoys the full range of benefits forests offer by employing effective management approaches, supported by proper program development and budgeting. In order to examine these assumptions and develop new insights, BIJAK will undertake an evaluation to examine the impact of investments in FMUs on multiple use outcomes (economic development, social welfare, and sustainability of natural resources). The FMU impact evaluation will inform Bappenas and MoEF’s development of the 2020-2024 National Mid- Term Development Plan (RPJMN) and also help to identify areas for BIJAK and other stakeholder support. This impact evaluation will be supplemented by a study of budget allocations and expenditures to extrapolate lessons learned on appropriate funding guidelines for FMUs and how multiple use forest management approaches might improve environmental outcomes. BIJAK will use both of these tools, in addition to reference materials developed by USFS, to inform its technical assistance to strengthen FMU programming and budget development, in order to attract sufficient central and provincial budget allocations. These, in turn, will allow FMUs to focus on their core mission of managing the forest, rather than external fundraising. Recent focus group discussions organized by the USFS on FMUs have found that Indonesia lacks a number of guidelines needed to implement multiple use forest management models. BIJAK will continue to provide the MoEF with technical support and conduct a more detailed review of the relevant forest management guidelines which are used to guide FMUs in the planning, execution, and evaluation of their activities, including on how to engage with social forestry initiatives adjacent to or within their designated areas. The review will also take into account previous donor support for FMU development and provide policy recommendations and pathways for improvements. The USFS FMU toolkit, currently being developed as a reference on multiple use forest management will be a key resource. Site-level lessons learned from USAID LESTARI and other development projects will be used as evidence to support policy development efforts, in line with BIJAK’s mandate to scale up site-level successes for nationwide adoption. To sustain these reforms and build a common vision for Indonesia’s forest area, through campaign efforts and expanded constituencies, BIJAK will promote a sense of public commitment to sustainable forest management and greater public participation in planning for and protecting forests as a long-term public good. The above activities will contribute to more effective FMU institutions and improved forest governance, thereby enabling a corrective shift in FMU’s focus toward managing the forest as public land, for the benefit of Indonesia’s citizens.

BIJAK Annual Work Plan – FY 2018 34 Strategic Approach 1.2.2: Expanding the use of innovative funding and financing strategies to incentivize forest conservation and low emissions development
Insufficient financing can severely undermine forest management goals. The availability of financial incentives, through mechanisms such as performance based payments for ecosystem services, can catalyze greater commitment to conservation and lay a foundation for sustainable utilization of natural resources. A cornerstone of BIJAK’s contribution, will be to identify and expand the use of innovative and effective funding and financing strategies to incentivize forest conservation and low emissions development. Forests provide a wide range of social, ecological, and economic benefits beyond narrow models focused only on extractive industry potential. However, across the archipelago, a number of well-intended efforts to manage and protect Indonesia’s forests and biodiversity have failed due to a lack of resources. In addition to increasing the availability of funds and optimizing their use (addressed through Activity 1.2.1.A above), it is crucial to further develop practical and well-designed incentive-based approaches for sustainable forest management to counter the pressure from those who benefit from forest conversion. In order to expand the pool of available resources and institutionalize the right incentives, BIJAK, in collaboration with LESTARI will support the development of innovative sources of funding, focused on a multiple use forest approach, to support forest management and conservation efforts at the field level. Performance-based payments for ecosystem services, is one example of a mosaic of schemes, which has received a high degree of government interest as an alternative financial framework that could be strengthened. The MoEF is currently in charge of issuing licenses for ecosystem restoration and other payment for ecosystem services (PES) type activities including water use, carbon capture & storage, and tourism10, yet the lack of a national policy, along with the disruptive effects of the Decentralization Act of 2014, have left many current initiatives at the district level without a stable legal footing. Similarly, a lack of adequate regulatory guidance has stunted the emergence of cooperation across provincial boundary lines. BIJAK will assist the MoEF to conduct a study on a number of successful initiatives at the site-level, and subsequently develop a regulatory framework to support the implementation of compensation and payments for ecosystem services nationwide. Technical support will include regulatory drafting, as well as support for public consultations to improve the draft and support its eventual enactment and implementation in future program years. Through grant awards to Indonesian policy research and advocacy institutions, BIJAK will develop a policy community to identify, review and promote additional sustainable forestry financing mechanisms.11

11 Existing financing mechanisms include funds managed by the Forest Development Financing Center within the MoEF, the Village Development Fund, The Public Service Climate Change Agency to Support Mitigation of Land Based Emissions (BLU Perubahan Iklim/Government Regulation/PP still in process), the Reforestation Fund (Dana Reboisasi). Additionallly, there are other examples of alternative models to finance forest conservation, including the IKEA/WWF partnership on Sebangau National Park; the USFS stewardship authority (allows trading goods for services); and other examples of the authority to retain receipts that could be looked at.

BIJAK Annual Work Plan – FY 2018 37 Strategic Approach 1.2.3: Protecting areas of High Conservation Value (HCV) and High Carbon Stock (HCS) in non-forest lands (APL)
The conversion of forests to oil palm plantations is the most obvious and direct threat to Indonesia’s remaining forests. Sustainable palm oil development depends on establishing new plantations on suitable, non-forested land; however existing classifications are often mismatched to the physical reality of the actual land cover. Some lands classified as forest estate are degraded with little or no tree cover while other areas classified as non-forest (Area Penggunaan Lain – APL) are covered by rich primary forests and extensive peatlands. Accordingly, BIJAK will prioritize working with the MoEF to develop viable policy options and implementation guidance to protect intact forest areas and areas of high conservation value (HCV) that currently lie outside areas technically zoned as forest areas. The codification of the protection of these important areas, which include habitats for endangered species in and around oil palm plantations, paves the way for stronger monitoring and enforcement. Although much of Indonesia’s intact forests have been designated and zoned as government-managed forest areas (which cover 64 percent of the nation’s total land area), a number of areas of intact forest and areas of high conservation value exist beyond these borders, in APL, which is not regulated as forest. As such, these areas exist in a vulnerable policy space, beyond the jurisdiction of the regulatory frameworks that apply to designated official forest areas, and are susceptible to total conversion to agriculture. Given that a significant portion of these vulnerable APL areas have not been developed and remain ecologically intact, BIJAK will work with the MoEF’s DG KSDAE, DG PKTL, the Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry of Villages, Disadvantaged Regions and Transmigration, the National Land Agency, and the KPK’s Coordination and Supervision Mechanism on Palm Oil (Korsup Kelapa Sawit), and advocacy and research organizations working on environmental protection, to identify potential improvements in the implementation of existing policies, and the development of new regulatory frameworks, including the use of designated areas of essential ecosystems (kawasan ekosistem esensial – KEE)12 in APL areas, in order to protect these important forest assets and the wildlife within. The initial focus for Year 2 will be on helping the DG KSDAE to develop technical guidelines and models for the establishment of KEE as a means of protecting areas of high conservation value on non-forest APL land. This will facilitate the assigned directorate within KSDAE, Directorate of Management of Essential Ecosystems (BPEE), to manage KEE, including the development of partnerships with local government, companies or communities for identifying, managing, and monitoring the areas. The involvement of local governments in managing KEE, for instance, has not yet materialized, partially due to the absence of regulatory provisions on the role of local governments in protecting these essential ecosystems. BIJAK will also support KSDAE to build their capacity to manage geospatial information as a key step in establishing KEE. Related to palm oil plantations in APL, BIJAK will work with a range of stakeholders to improve the understanding and use of data and information on the management of areas of high conservation value (HCV)13 and high carbon stock (HCS)14 within concessions. This will be used to promote more effective
12 KEE is an ecosystem that’s located outside conservation areas (in both forests and non-forest land), which ecologically, has a high level of biodiversity. 13 High Conservation Values (HCVs) are biological, ecological, social or cultural values which are outstandingly significant or critically important at the national, regional or global level. 14 The High Carbon Stock (HCS) Approach is a methodology that distinguishes forest areas for protection from degraded lands with low carbon and biodiversity values that may be developed. The methodology was developed with the aim to ensure a
BIJAK Annual Work Plan – FY 2018 38 inter-agency coordination, including in utilizing KPK’s Korsup platform, for improved management and monitoring of HCV and HCS areas. BIJAK will develop recommendations for the involved government agencies to direct oil palm cultivation solely on suitable non-forested land. This will include the promotion of safeguards to prevent the manipulation of forest cover data to convert forest land to non-forest land, and the utilization of the existing regulatory framework for environment impact assessments (AMDAL) and strategic environment assessments (SEA) and their monitoring mechanisms. In line with the growing awareness of the importance of the HCV and HCS approach among policy makers and forest-concerned communities, BIJAK will also examine the use of spatial planning instruments to protect HCV/HCS areas that are outside the official forest estate. Most promising, based on the Spatial Planning Law No. 26/2007, is the ability of government to designate areas of special strategic importance (Kawasaan Strategis). This classification explicitly mentions environmental considerations as a priority.

The study identified three types of methods for changing legal land classifications in Indonesian law which could be used to facilitate the conservation of forested areas currently legally available for agricultural uses: 1. Single reclassifications: Procedures that change the land-use classification of a single area. 2. Multiple reclassifications: Procedures that change (or “swap”) the land-use classifications of multiple areas simultaneously. 3. Local/special designations: Procedures that change the allowable land uses in a designated local area, without changing the land use classifications. Recommendations are also outlined for Indonesian policymakers, including clarifying the objectives and definitions associated with land swap policies, simplifying procedures, incorporating biophysical and social factors into legal classifications, and making data and procedures publicly available and easily accessible.

2.1 COMBATING WILDLIFE TRAFFICKING
OVERVIEW OF YEAR 2 PLANS
In Year 2, BIJAK will continue to partner with the GoI to address illegal and unsustainable trade in wildlife through urgent revisions and updates to the legal, policy and regulatory framework. One of the strongest tools for fighting the transnational illegal wildlife trade that threatens many of the world’s most endangered species is the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES). GoI commitments to CITES play a central role in driving and refining the regulatory and legal frameworks for the protection and sustainable use of biodiversity across the archipelago. Therefore, BIJAK will focus and target its efforts to revise and update the legal and policy framework to increase the number of species protected under law, increase sanctions and fines for wildlife trafficking, develop guidelines and tools to ensure the trade in species is sustainable, and increase the effectiveness of existing enforcement in the context of CITES. In parallel, BIJAK will provide in-depth technical and scientific assistance to build capacity within key line agencies to operationalize the legal and policy framework for species protection, prioritizing Indonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI) and the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (MoEF). In combination, these interventions will accelerate progress towards the enhanced regulatory protection of species highly threatened by the illegal trade - pangolin, sharks, elephant (including non-domestic ivory), helmeted hornbill and other threatened bird species. However, tackling regulatory reform is only one part of the equation. Thus, to complement these efforts, BIJAK will significantly advance its work to increase commitment to protection and reduce domestic demand for threatened wildlife and their products, again focusing on CITES listed pangolins, sharks, elephant, helmeted hornbill and other bird species. Detailed surveys to identify entry points to address the trade in elephant ivory, shark fins and birds will be implemented, building on the overarching nation-wide public opinion survey initiated in Year 1 and, working alongside the GoI and private sector partners, a major national demand reduction campaign on one of these species groups will be launched. Data gathered and analyzed on the species-specific trade networks will also be used to inform the policy reform and capacity building efforts noted above.
DESCRIPTION OF YEAR 2 ACTIVITIES
Strategic Approach 2.1.1: Revise and update the legal and policy framework, and build capacity to confront the illegal or unsustainable trade in wildlife, and meet national commitments to CITES Indonesia has a comprehensive framework of laws and subsidiary regulations that are designed to halt the loss of its species. Despite this, due to regulatory loopholes and weaknesses, poachers, traders, shippers and buyers of illegal wildlife are evading investigation, arrest and prosecution. Additionally, current penalties related to wildlife crime are not high enough to act as a deterrent. Consequently, highly lucrative, relatively low-risk illegal activity is on the rise in Indonesia. Activities in Year 2 will therefore build on and continue the progress made in Year 1 related to Law No. 5/1990. The key areas of BIJAK support will focus on ensuring that the revision of the law includes clauses that: i) establish minimum sentencing and fines to increase the deterrent effect of the law; ii) increase the authority of civil investigators on wildlife crime to allow more thorough and efficient investigations; and iii) align with Indonesia’s CITES commitments to protect non-native species, such as certain pangolin species and to restrict trade in ivory from African elephants. In order to do this, BIJAK will continue to provide objective scientific and technical assistance to the stakeholders engaged in the revision process, including the Indonesian House of Representatives (DPR), and will ensure that BIJAK-supported media campaigns maintain and build momentum and interest within both decision makers and the general public for these priority changes. Reinforcing and in parallel to the Law No. 5/1990 revision process, BIJAK will focus on directly supporting LIPI, in its
BIJAK Annual Work Plan – FY 2018 47 capacity as the national CITES Scientific Authority, to update the regulatory framework on the protection of CITES listed helmeted hornbills, sharks, and pangolins. The activities will build the capacity of LIPI to develop a standardized approach to establishing sustainable utilization quotas for CITES listed species, and will contribute to the development of species-specific action plans and the Ministerial regulations that enable the implementation of these plans, allowing the GoI to report several positive outcomes to the CITES Secretariat. By building capacity within LIPI these activities will also help to bolster LIPI’s scientific credentials within the GoI. Building from this foundation, BIJAK will also facilitate cross-agency coordination between LIPI, MoEF and Marine Affairs and Fisheries (MMAF) to enact data driven species action plans that directly reduce the illegal and the unsustainable trade in Indonesian species.

BIJAK Annual Work Plan – FY 2018 55 Strategic Approach 2.1.2: Increase commitment to tackling wildlife crime and reduce domestic demand for wildlife and their products
As well as focusing on improving regulatory and legal frameworks to stop wildlife trafficking, BIJAK will intensively focus on reducing the domestic demand for wildlife and their products in Year 2. Domestic demand for wildlife (either live or as animal parts) in Indonesia is increasing rapidly alongside growing wealth. However, there is also more awareness within some demographic groups that the unsustainable use of wildlife in Indonesia is endangering wild populations and is connected to the destruction of forest habitat and illegal hunting. Young people in particular have been increasingly vocal about wildlife crime on Indonesian social media networks. Social media companies, traditional media outlets and online retailers are therefore key partners for activities under this strategic approach. To date, comprehensive demand reduction strategies that address both the end users of wildlife (often wealthier, older and urban groups), and raise the awareness of the impacts of wildlife crime in communities close to vulnerable forest areas have been lacking. Building on BIJAK’s initial national public opinion survey and the assessment of successful environmental behavioral change strategies in Year 1, BIJAK will now focus on reducing the domestic demand for ivory, shark fins, and birds. A key part of this ongoing strategy (which will continue beyond Year 2) is to aggressively focus on targeting the domestic trafficking of species through airports and seaports by developing campaigns on wildlife trafficking with the port authorities, and raising the awareness of the enforcement agencies in these ports of the domestically trafficked species through these ports. Through these actions, BIJAK will seek to significantly increase the effective response of enforcement agencies to the illegal domestic trade in species. In parallel, BIJAK will conduct comprehensive assessments of the national ivory, bird and shark trades across Indonesia, from which it will implement a behavioral change campaign to reduce demand for at least one species in partnership with marketing agencies and campaign experts.

BIJAK Annual Work Plan – FY 2018 63 CROSS-CUTTING THEMES
Gender Integration
BIJAK places an emphasis on ensuring that activities are responsive to gender equality considerations in accordance with the Indonesian government’s approach to gender mainstreaming and USAID’s Gender Equality and Female Empowerment policy. Women and men engage with natural resources, including forest management, differently due to traditional gender roles and positions within society. Similarly, changes in policy and practices related to natural resource conservation and exploitation also effect women and men differently. In light of this, BIJAK has integrated gender considerations into work carried out under each of the technical themes. BIJAK will design and implement activities with a focus on increasing meaningful participation of women in policy dialogues, development, and implementation, alongside of raising awareness of important gender considerations that must be taken into account when designing policies and programs. Within each of the Technical Theme sections of this FY 2018 work plan, we have highlighted specific opportunities to ensure our work incorporates gender equality considerations.
In addition to those activities noted elsewhere, BIJAK will conduct a training aimed at strengthening the Gender Mainstreaming Unit (GMU) of MoEF. The GMU has potential to serve as a powerful force in addressing longstanding gender inequality in environmental policies, the policymaking process, and implementation, however the unit currently lacks the environmental technical knowledge needed to influence policy sufficiently. BIJAK will provide training to the GMU that will increase their knowledge about illegal wildlife trade, biodiversity conservation, and other sustainable natural resource issues. Participants will learn how they can use this knowledge to more effectively participate in policy dialogues and advocate for gender responsive policies in these areas, especially those aligned to BIJAK’s FY 2018 work plan.
Special Activities Component
BIJAK’s special activities component (SAC) is designed to engage well-placed Indonesian implementers (CSOs, research organizations, private sector actors, etc.), through grants, subcontracts, letters of collaboration (LOC), or other mechanisms, to contribute to achieving BIJAK’s objectives (see Figure 1). In FY 2018, the project will work through the SAC as an element in activities across the project’s Year 2 plan, such as designing and implementing social marketing behavior change campaigns, supporting greater public awareness of core BIJAK-led initiatives, and leading advocacy efforts to advance evidence-based policy decisions. Specific activities to be conducted under the SAC are defined in this FY 2018 work plan (see Annex 1 Compiled Gantt Charts - mechanism). Additionally, as unanticipated opportunities present themselves, in consultation with USAID, BIJAK may program additional activities into the SAC. Figure 8.

To define the activities that would be part of the SAC in this annual work plan, BIJAK technical staff assessed whether the planned activities would be more effectively carried out by third-party Indonesian implementers, including research institutions, business associations, civil society institutions and others well-placed to accomplish specific aspects of the BIJAK activity. Primary reasons for opting for third-party implementers include (a) engaging organizations with a unique skill set, expertise, network, or constituency; (b) maintaining BIJAK’s role as a facilitator and supporter of change, while supporting Indonesian institutions as the primary drivers of policy and behavior change, and (c) supporting the professional growth and institutional maturation of key institutions while also carrying out activities to accomplish BIJAK objectives. Grants and subcontracts will be the primary mechanisms through which BIJAK will engage local organizations. These will be awarded through a competitive process. In FY 2017, BIJAK released an annual program statement (APS) to solicit grant applications related to three technical areas related to improved land-use governance, protection of key marine and terrestrial species, and adoption of low carbon, conservation-oriented business practices in the palm oil industry. Numerous organizations have already submitted concept papers in each of these categories for consideration. Following approval of the FY 2018 work plan, BIJAK will conduct the first round of evaluations to identify which of these can best achieve the project’s Year 2 objectives. This APS will remain open until June 2018 as an avenue for BIJAK to engage with organizations. Additionally, BIJAK will release more targeted requests for applications (RFA) and requests for proposals (RFP) to address specific areas of the FY 2018 work plan that are outside the scope of the APS. In FY 2018, BIJAK will utilize the SAC, primarily through grants, to implement its policy community approach. This entails structuring SAC activities around core BIJAK issues and objectives and working closely with grantees, subcontractors, and other stakeholders to integrate complementary programs to achieve greater impact. Additionally, by focusing policy community activities under grants on “policy/rule-making” (as opposed to the pure advocacy approach commonly used to influence change), partners will develop “critical engagement” skills and be better positioned to achieve tangible policy improvements.
BIJAK Annual Work Plan – FY 2018 65 Activity Coordination, Communication, and Documentation (Management Component 5)
Through this cross-cutting management component, BIJAK aims to: a) Ensure complementarity of BIJAK activities with those of relevant key stakeholders at the national level. Main stakeholder groups are (1) international donors and donor projects; (2) other USG initiatives and projects; (3) Government of Indonesia partners in legislative, executive and judicial branches; and, (4) other Indonesian institutions including CSOs, research institutions, private sector entities, and media. b) Promote stakeholders’ understanding of BIJAK’s goals and activities and involvement with the project; and c) Document and broadly disseminate analyses, successful approaches, and best practices resulting both from BIJAK activities and other programs working at the national and field levels.
FY 2018 ACTIVITIES
Activities under the component fall under two main categories – stakeholder coordination and knowledge management.
Stakeholder coordination (Contractual outcomes C.5.1, C.5.2, C.5.3): • During the work planning process, BIJAK consulted with MoEF, and other Government of Indonesia counterparts including Bappenas, MMAF, LIPI, KPK, to understand government priorities and assess most strategic areas to position BIJAK support. Following approval of the FY 2018 work plan, BIJAK will socialize the plan with these key counterparts and others. • Develop Program Implementation Plan or Rencana Pelaksanaan Program (RPP) between BIJAK and PIKA, outlining areas of support for FY 2018. Establishing this plan from the outset of the work period will allow both BIJAK and PIKA to have clear understanding of the project’s inputs to PIKA’s strategic objectives. • To inform and harmonize new project initiatives such as marine plastics and national park constituency building, in coordination with USAID, hold consultations with the Coordinating Ministry of Maritime Affairs (Kemenko Maritim), KSDAE/KK, national park management, and others. • Conduct regular coordination meetings with LESTARI, SEA, GOLS and ASLI projects, U.S. Forest Service (USFS), Department of the Interior (DOI), Department of State (ESTH and INL), Department of Justice (DOJ), and International Criminal Investigative Training Assistance Program (ICITAP) to synchronize BIJAK’s activities with other US Government-led initiatives. In FY 2018 BIJAK will also coordinate with the USAID Wildlife Asia Activity and other USAID programs in the region address wildlife trafficking. • Through USAID, maintain strong coordination and communication with donors working on the same issues as BIJAK, for example GIZ, UKCCU, and World Bank on FMUs; UNDP and UKCCU on palm oil issues; World Bank on marine plastics; and the upcoming Indonesia Global Wildlife Program (GWP) managed by UNDP addressing wildlife trafficking.
Knowledge management (Contractual outcomes C.5.4, C.5.5): • Continue to use communications tools for documenting and sharing notable achievements of the project and highlight upcoming activities. Channels will include: a. Quarterly and annual reports for USAID and PIKA b. Monthly lists of accomplishments and upcoming activities – shared with USAID and PIKA c. Weekly bullets to USAID
BIJAK Annual Work Plan – FY 2018 66 d. Success stories in USAID format e. Website f. Social media accounts g. Quarterly e-newsletter h. Contributions to regional and global communications platforms, as requested
• BIJAK will work to ensure its knowledge products – including research, survey results, assessments, policy recommendations, and other technical reports – are shared broadly among relevant target audiences to help inform policy making and support the adoption of best practices. All documents produced as a result of BIJAK’s activities will be shared with USAID and internally via a common network drive, and selected materials will be made available for the public. Where possible, events will be organized to allow for interactive discussion on these products among researchers, activists, government officials and other relevant stakeholders.
• BIJAK will continue to promote best practices and lessons learned resulting from USAID’s LESTARI and SEA activities and other field programs to assist in the promotion, adoption, and nationwide application. For information to be gleaned and disseminated from other programs, BIJAK will establish a formal agreement with these programs, on how information will be shared on a regular basis, for example inclusion on their communications distribution lists, following of social media accounts, schedule of regular meetings, etc.
Channels will include: a. Website – which will contain a knowledge management center – a one-stop-shop for information on successful practices and lessons learned from field programs, and information on policies, resources on policy advocacy, and social media utilization, etc. b. Social media accounts c. Quarterly e-newsletter d. BIJAK technical activities, particularly policy community coordination meetings and dialogues – the BIJAK Communications Manager will coordinate with BIJAK technical specialists to utilize all planned program events, workshops, seminars as means to disseminate appropriate information targeted to the audience that will be in attendance.
Communications Strategy
INTRODUCTION
In Year 2, BIJAK’s communication strategy will focus on developing activities and materials to increasingly reach key audiences to enhance their understanding of the project’s work and its impact and significance for forest and biodiversity protection in Indonesia. The new project website (http://www.konservasibijak.id) will play a key role in the project’s second year communications strategy. It will host most of BIJAK’s communications materials such as success stories, infographics, interactive maps, photo essays, short videos, e-newsletters, and technical and non-technical reports, among others. The website will be at the forefront of BIJAK’s efforts to highlight its progress and achievements, while also serving as a platform to share best practices on protecting Indonesian forests and biodiversity. Web content will be cross-promoted via the project’s social media accounts on Facebook and Twitter, in order increase web traffic and promote its distribution via social media.
BIJAK’s website will also play a vital role in the project’s approach to knowledge management, as a repository for knowledge products generated by the project, including research, survey results,
BIJAK Annual Work Plan – FY 2018 67 assessments, and policy recommendations. The project will ensure products meet appropriate quality control standards, as well as relevant branding and marking guidelines, before they are posted for public dissemination. Where possible and appropriate, the project will organize events to further promote its knowledge products among relevant donor projects and government counterparts, to contribute to a better understanding of the complex issues in this sector and to promote the adoption of best practices.
By adding the website and e-newsletter (in both English and Bahasa Indonesia) to its lineup of communication tools, BIJAK aims to boost its communication activities so that more audiences are aware of project’s works, impacts and significance. Coordination with other USAID projects, especially USAID LESTARI and USAID SEA, will also be enhanced in the second year. In this FY 2019 work plan BIJAK has identified specific areas where BIJAK will support the promotion and nationwide application of successful approaches and practices resulting from USAID LESTARI and USAID SEA activities and other field programs. Joint activities, including informal brownbag sessions and more formal public discussions, will be utilized to promote new research findings and successful approaches from the three projects to wider audiences.
KEY OBJECTIVES
• To inform targeted audiences of the project’s approaches and impact on forest and biodiversity protection; • To support technical teams with necessary communication materials to effectively communicate about BIJAK to GoI and CSO partners; • To increase BIJAK’s profile among media, GoI agencies, and donor communities; • To raise public awareness; document and disseminate best practices and lessons learned; and support behavioral changes in forest and biodiversity conservation through a strong online presence.
KEY MESSAGES16
The communication strategy is grounded in the following key message: • BIJAK supports the Government of Indonesia (GoI) to protect its rich natural resources through improved management of forest and conservation areas, and reduce the loss of marine and terrestrial biodiversity through increased protections for key species. This message is reinforced by more specific messaging on each Technical Theme: Technical Theme 1: Improving Management of Conservation Areas and Forests • BIJAK supports the GoI to improve the management of conservation areas through strengthened implementation tools and resources, and better national policies. • BIJAK supports the GoI to improve management capacity to reduce encroachment in and surrounding conservation areas from illegal oil palm plantations. • BIJAK is promoting a strong sense of national pride and public ownership in Indonesia’s national parks to contribute to their protection and people’s benefit and enjoyment for future generations. • BIJAK promotes improved land management through strengthened forest management units (FMUs) implementing an overarching vision of multiple-use forests for the sustained well-being of Indonesia’s citizens, economy and environment. • BIJAK supports the GoI to protect intact forest and high conservation value areas.
16 These are in the process of refinement as part of the revisions to the branding and marking plan currently under discussion.
BIJAK Annual Work Plan – FY 2018 68 Technical Theme 2: Increasing Protection of Key Species • BIJAK supports efforts to refine regulatory and legal frameworks for the protection and sustainable use of biodiversity across the archipelago. • BIJAK supports enhancements in the capacity of Indonesian law enforcement to confront wildlife crime. • BIJAK supports campaigns to reduce domestic demand for wildlife and their products, focusing on the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) listed pangolins, sharks, ivory, helmeted hornbill and other bird species.
KEY AUDIENCES
Key audiences include the Indonesian government (legislative and executive branches), civil society advocacy and research organizations, youth, youth organizations, USG, other international donors, media outlets, and the general public.
INFORMATION FORMAT, COLLECTION, PACKAGING AND DISSEMINATION PROCESS
BIJAK will utilize print and electronic formats to convey its key messages. While the project plans to use more traditional formats for formal documents, like reports, policy papers and research findings, it plans to disseminate these documents to stakeholders through social media (Twitter and Facebook) and the project website to reach as many people as possible to achieve many of its awareness-raising and behavioral change goals. The Communications Manager will work together with the project’s technical teams to capture key developments from the field for inclusion in regular quarterly and annual reporting, as well as for packaging as success stories and advocacy materials as appropriate. The Communications Manager will also serve as the coordinator for the project’s social media presence on Facebook and Twitter and will use these platforms and others to highlight achievements from the project and other USG-funded efforts to support the adoption of best-practices from the landscapes and seascapes. BIJAK will work closely with the public relations departments of its GoI partners to extend the reach of communications efforts, and to underscore the partnership between USAID and the GoI. Primarily, this will take place with regard to joint campaigns (i.e. on national parks or marine plastics) and for the promotion of certain events, such as the announcement of key policy changes, successful initiatives, or the commemoration of international environmental days. Increasing recognition of GoI counterparts is important to the long-term success of initiatives, as it not only builds trust toward project staff and partners, but also helps to increase public faith in government.
BIJAK’s will work to ensure its knowledge products – including research, survey results, assessments, policy recommendations, and other technical reports – are shared broadly among relevant target audiences to help inform policy making and support the adoption of best practices. All documents produced through BIJAK’s activities will be shared with USAID and internally via a common network drive, and selected materials will be made available for the public. Where possible, events will be organized to allow for interactive discussion on these products among researchers, activists, government officials and other relevant stakeholders.
COMMUNICATION CHANNELS AND PRODUCTS
The following are the primary communication tools BIJAK will utilize for its Year 2 communications strategy. A. Website BIJAK will develop a project website in accordance with USAID’s most current branding guidelines and ADS 557, particularly, ADS 557.3.41: Web Sites Financed under Acquisition
BIJAK Annual Work Plan – FY 2018 69 Instruments. Appropriate messaging will be disseminated via the project website and care will be taken to ensure that the information available on the website will also be available publicly after the project ends. The website will be a key communications tool for BIJAK, serving as hub that connects the project with its targeted audience as well as the general public. Contents available on the website will include, but are not limited to: • General project information • Articles/write-ups on BIJAK activities, progress and achievements • Visual products (infographics, videos, charts, etc.) • Links to BIJAK’s social media accounts (Facebook & Twitter) • Technical publications • BIJAK e-newsletter
BIJAK will promote its web content through social media by posting “teasers” linked to the full content on the website. BIJAK will also work to cross-populate partners’ websites, such as Kemitraan, WCS and MoEF, USAID’s Biodiversity Portal, and USAID Wildlife Asia’s site with project communications materials.
B. Quarterly E-newsletter Beginning in March 2018, BIJAK will publish a quarterly e-newsletter to be circulated through e- mail blast to internal and external stakeholders. The newsletter will contain updates on important project progress and will be designed in a way that directs readers to the BIJAK website to read the full content of each story. BIJAK will also contribute to the USAID Wildlife Asia Activity’s quarterly newsletter to feature work and impact from USAID’s regional programs on combatting wildlife trafficking.

MEASUREMENT
Beginning in Year 2, BIJAK will use a variety of web traffic and social media analytics to examine audience size and engagement to help sharpen messaging and its delivery as part of a constant effort to improve the BIJAK communication strategy.
Monitoring and Evaluation
The achievement of BIJAK’s high level results are measured through a total of 24 standard and custom indicators. A full list of predicted Year 2 indicator achievements per activity is found in Annex 2. During the beginning of FY 2018, BIJAK’s Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) team will focus on finalizing the revised theory of change (updated to reflect BIJAK’s focused, integrated approach along two main technical themes), including needed adjustments to indicators and targets. In addition, during this year, the team will carry out planned assessments in accordance with the project’s Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL) Plan, and strengthen the utilization and optimization of data collection, storage, analysis, and reporting tools, including the project’s database DevResults. Finally, over the course of FY 2018, the M&E team will work with the technical team to develop and award grant programs that are in full alignment with the project’s theory of change and that contain sound measurement plans to track grantee achievements and performance. A detailed schedule of performance management tasks is found in the MEL Plan.
