The decision making process for Deconcentration and Tugas Pembantuan funds relies with the national government, while the authority on the planning and delivery of intergovernmental fiscal transfers is devolved to the local level. Hence, earmarking of climate budget should use the intergovernmental fiscal transfers to finance national priorities at the district level, instead of using the Deconcentration fund and Tugas Pembantuan.

At the national level, several ministries and government bodies have mandates related to climate change that include the Planning Agency, the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Environment. The Planning Agency (Bappenas) has the mandate to monitor and evaluate the achievement of the RAN-GRK and the Secretariat of RAN-GRK is hosted by the Planning Agency. The Planning Agency also has the role as the secretariat for the implementation of RAN-API. In addition to these functions, the Planning Agency hosts the Indonesia Climate Change Trust Fund (ICCTF), which is a financial instrument that is government led, but does not feature in the Provincial Climate Public Expenditure and Institutional Review, East Nusa Tenggara of Indonesia government budget. In 2011, the Ministry of Finance established the Centre for Climate Change Financing and Multilateral Policy at the Fiscal Policy Agency. The centre performs such functions as formulating policy recommendations and monitoring climate change financing related issues. This centre also deals with economic and financial co-operation within the G20 and other multilateral forums. Within the Ministry of Environment, the Deputy for the Control of Environmental Damage and Climate Change is responsible for both Institutional Analysis mitigation and adaptation to climate change.3 Other line ministries such as forestry, agriculture and mining have roles managing finances for climate change. These ministries usually have a working group that specifically deals with issues related to climate change.

Forestry under the Directorate General of Climate Change. However, it is still unclear on the directorates that are currently put under the DG Climate Change until the writing of this report.

3.2.4.2. Local institutions Addressing climate change at the subnational level is contingent on national level policies. Local governments cannot establish a local institution without a corresponding law at the national level. For instance, the Law on Disaster Management provides a legal basis for the establishment of a national body and local body to deal with disaster risk management. This is different, however, to government policies and institutions on climate change issues. In the absence of a national law regulating climate change, local governments cannot establish a specific institution dealing with climate change at the local level. For instance, DNPI and the REDD+ agency have no departments at the local level.Without specific local institutions for addressing climate change, local governments must work through existing government departments and other bodies. For instance, the Planning Agency at the local level is responsible for the implementation of action plan to reduce GHG emissions at the provincial level. This is because there is a similar setting at the national level, where the Ministry of Planning is responsible for the implementation of the Presidential Decree 61/2011 on National Action Plans to reduce GHG emissions. Provinces with special autonomy status, however, are able to establish their own local institutions.

Climate change is currently being addressed in each government office without a formal coordination DRAFT 2.2 mechanism. Coordination usually only occurs during the development of a document, for example, the development of the RAN-GRK. Institutions rarely coordinate with each other after the document is completed At the national level, several ministries and government bodies have mandates related to climate change that unless a formal mechanism is specifically established. As government officials frequently rotate from one unit include the Planning Agency, the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Environment. The Planning Agency to another, other officials in the institution often have no knowledge about the process after those who (Bappenas) has the mandate to monitor and evaluate the achievement of the RAN-GRK and the Secretariat of participated in the process are rotated.

These system, drinking water distribution system, and projects are implemented outside the government rural infrastructure development. The spending budget system , where a project management of BAPPEDA that is closely related to poverty unit is responsible for the implementation of the reduction is the community development projects. Since the proportion of non-government program, known as ANGGUR MERAH, while the expenditures on climate change is meager as Marine and Fisheries procured fishing boats for compared to the government climate expenditures, fishermen in 2014.

The national was spent on adaptation actions. This is mainly were Public Works, Local Planning Agency and local NGOs as well as international donor government has the highest portion of climate because the indicators used to estimate the (BAPPEDA) and the Marine and Fisheries.

- With the absence of targets on climate adaptation and specific data on the relationship between the spending and the output/impact particularly under climatic stress, it is not possible to estimate the required budget for climate adaptation within a jurisdiction (province/district). Currently, the study can assess the overall picture at the provincial level, which can only give a possible relationship between spending and output. The analysis at the provincial level cannot also capture the situation at the district level – where the activities are implemented. The study can contribute to enhancing the methodology of CPEIR, however, the precise numbers of effectiveness of climate expenditures requires a solid database on the spending, government activities and outputs.

- The government institutions dealing with planning and budgeting will be greatly assisted by the development of database on the cost- effectiveness of climate actions. Based on the database, a monitoring system to track the performance of implementing agencies on climate actions is also recommended.

Lasa et al (2014) explains the erratic rainfall rainy days was less than 45 days of which the total between 2009 and 2011 as follows: rainfall during that period was less than 700 mm Rainfall (mm) Total rainy days (day) (Lasa et al, 2014). The erratic climate has affected “In 2009, the rain started in February and ended the crop production and yield. In 2010, World Food Programme (WFP) reported in March. In 2010, Sumba Timur enjoyed four that around 49.7 per cent of the respondents in months rainfall during starting January-April.

Three main constraints to food production in Sumba Timur were mainly related to: lack of irrigation or water, lack of machinery, and harvest failure due to pest/diseases. The main source of water for land cultivation was rain water, with around 39.7% of households had access to irrigation in 2009 in Sumba Timur (WFP, 2010). For the majority of households relying entirely on rainfall, hence, drought and insufficient / poorly distributed rainfall is a significant problem.

Adding to the already complicated situation, climate risks make Sumba island even more vulnerable to food insecurity. A study carried out by Lasa et al. (2014) showed that there is a decline in rainfall trend in East Sumba. Haharu sub-district experience drought during November-December-January and February-March-April, due to very little rainfall during 2007-2008 (Figure 21). Lasa et al (2014) explains the erratic rainfall between 2009 and 2011 as follows:

“In 2009, the rain started in February and ended in March. In 2010, Sumba Timur enjoyed four months rainfall during starting January-April. In 2011, the rain started earlier in December 2010 and ended in February 2011 and came back again in April 2011 when the farmers should harvest their crops. While in 2012, there had only rain in January. Crops stress from lack of water and higher temperature creates problems namely water stress at plants as water loss due to high evaporation and evapotranspiration.”

Three main constraints to food production in Sumba Timur were mainly related to: lack of irrigation or water, lack of machinery, and harvest failure due to pest/diseases. The main source of water for land cultivation was rain water, with around 39.7% of households had access to irrigation in 2009 in Sumba Timur (WFP, 2010). For the majority of households relying entirely on rainfall, hence, drought and insufficient / poorly distributed rainfall is a significant problem.

Adding to the already complicated situation, climate risks make Sumba island even more vulnerable to food insecurity. A study carried out by Lasa et al. (2014) showed that there is a decline in rainfall trend in East Sumba. Haharu sub-district experience drought during November-December-January and February-March-April, due to very little rainfall during 2007-2008 (Figure 21). Lasa et al (2014) explains the erratic rainfall between 2009 and 2011 as follows:

“In 2009, the rain started in February and ended in March. In 2010, Sumba Timur enjoyed four months rainfall during starting January-April. In 2011, the rain started earlier in December 2010 and ended in February 2011 and came back again in April 2011 when the farmers should harvest their crops. While in 2012, there had only rain in January. Crops stress from lack of water and higher temperature creates problems namely water stress at plants as water loss due to high evaporation and evapotranspiration.”

DRAFT 2.2 Stories from Sumba Timur

Box 1. Recommendations provided by three important studies on addressing climate risks on food insecurity

1. The study by WFP (2010) suggests that the vulnerability to food insecurity can be addressed by:

- Increase household food production through: better provision of water and irrigation for food crops through water conservation and rainwater harvesting; investigation and addressing crop and animal pests and diseases to prevent harvest failure in crops; provision of simple technology (i.e. tools and equipment); and increased access to agricultural knowledge. - Diversify foods cultivated at household level. The main diet of the population was rice, maize, cassava leaves, sugars and oil, with some vegetables and very little animal protein. Accordingly efforts to diversify the production base should be pursued through promoting kitchen gardens, as well as small-scale livestock production. - Improve levels and stability of rural incomes. Food insecure and vulnerable households were found more among those who rely on unsustainable, unstable and low income which include crop sale, agricultural wage labour, unskilled labour and livestock raising. Efforts to raise incomes in for these households should focus on improving the profitability of current livelihood sources as appropriate whilst at the same time encouraging diversification into activities with higher and more stable incomes. - Reduce disaster risk and severity of food security shocks. Food insecurity in the seven districts in NTT is a chronic issue made worse by sudden and repeated shocks. In order to improve household resilience to the frequent shocks which are experienced a number of interventions are recommended.

2. Study by Lasa et al (2014) suggests that in order to adapt to more extreme climate due to climate change, several adaptation measures are required, including:

- Improve water management at farmers' level. Farmers who have the water management skills and technology can be resilient to water stresses. - Identify crop varieties that are suitable for East Sumba's climate context. There is existing promising local varieties can be directly distributed to the farmers with the assistance of trained seed producer officials. - Increase options for seed storing technology that is fit for the purpose. - Adjust cropping patterns with the changing climate/weather. - Improve Multiple Cropping Systems and Agroforestry Systems.

3. SPARC project surveyed ten villages in 2014 in Sumba Timur and found that drought is common in every district. Several activities that are suggested particularly for Sumba Timur, gathered from local villages are:

- The use of high yielding varieties - Farmer school on climate information/pests - Socialization of planting calendar - Development of agroforestry systems and garden plants - Improve the livelihoods of the coastal communities i.e. seaweed - Conservation of uplands with local plants/agroforestry - Increase harvest index - Greening coastal region - Development of savannah areas - Development of an inventory system of local rice and pulse seeds - Water saving and harvesting technology - Reforestation for water conservation/expansion of rainwater - Improved transportation facilities to support agriculture activities - Efforts for adding value to agricultural products and household industry - Early warning systems and climate stations - Developing institution for farmers such as information and finance - Improved drainage and irrigation - Development of a network or installation of climate stations - Conservation of water catchments areas
