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 (CCA)
and disaster risk reduction (DRR) 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
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.
This STTA is
aligned with APIK’s High Level Result 3 on community and private sector
stakeholders implementing appropriate CCA and DRR measures, and APIK’s task 4
which is a strategy emphasizing engagement and mobilization of business
associations and networks around shared risks in key economic sectors, such as
the fishing industry in Maluku Islands or cocoa and rice production in South
East Sulawesi. Specifically, APIK will support business participation in
developing strategies and investments that strengthen local resilience to
climate and disaster risks as well as facilitate business access to improved
climate and weather information services. APIK will also use its Resilience
Fund to encourage private sector involvement in projects and in developing
products, technologies, and processes that communities and households can use
to strengthen local climate resilience. This task will focus on understanding
and documenting the economic impact of climate change on key economic sectors
in in the target provinces, by conducting a survey for of existing assessments
and determining key information gaps.
