Background
USAID’s
five year “Adaptasi Perubahan Iklim dan Ketangguhan” (APIK) Project
supports the Government of Indonesia to strengthen climate and disaster
resilience, working in an integrated manner from the national level down
to the regional and community levels. In support of this overall
objective, APIK seeks to:
· Mainstream climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction into national and sub-national governance frameworks;
· Build
the capacity of local communities and the private sector to address
climate change and weather-related natural hazards; and
· Support the use of information for climate and disaster risk management among key stakeholders.
At
the national level, APIK provides technical assistance to national
level ministries to strengthen their understanding of climate change and
the impact of weather-related natural disasters, and to mainstream
tools and approaches that facilitate the systematic consideration of
climate change adaptation (CCA) and disaster risk reduction (DRR) in
their core planning, budgeting, and operations. Given the cross-cutting
nature of CCA/DRR, APIK works with economy-wide agencies—such as the
Ministry of Planning (BAPPENAS), National Disaster Management Agency
(BNPB) and Geophysical Meteorological & Cimatological Agency
(BMKG)—as well as technical ministries such as Environment and Forestry
(KLHK), Marine Affairs and Fisheries (KKP), Energy and Mineral Resources
(MEMR), Public Works and Public Housing (PUPERA), Agrarian and Spatial Planning, and Agriculture (Kementan).
At
the subnational level, APIK seeks to build the capacity of local
governments in East Java, Southeast Sulawesi, and Maluku to address CCA
& DRR through planning and operations, public outreach, and the
institutionalization of resilience-building practices in day-to-day
activities. With a regional office located in the respective provinces,
the Project works in targeted landscapes with the communities on the
front lines of climate change and disaster resilience in the target
districts to implement measures and link those measures to the relevant
government processes in a holistic systems approach.
Crosscutting the national and
subnational levels, APIK further seeks to mainstream CCA/DRR into the
private sector as well as the improved uptake and utilization of climate
and weather information (CWI) services. Private sector engagement is
critical to addressing shared economic risks and livelihoods, while
improved climate and weather information services empower public and
private institutions alike to better prepare for and respond to climate
and disaster risk.
