Background
The Global Green
Growth Institute (GGGI) is an intergovernmental organization founded to
support and promote a model of economic growth known as "green growth",
which targets key aspects of economic performance such a poverty
reduction, job creation, social inclusion, and environmental
sustainability. GGGI works with countries around the world, building
their capacity and working collaboratively on green growth policies that
can impact the lives of millions. The organization partners with
countries, multilateral institutions, government bodies, and private
sector to help build economies that grow strongly and are more efficient
and sustainable in the use of natural resources, less carbon intensive,
and more resilient to climate change.
GGGI has
a diverse portfolio of programs in developing countries around the
world. These in-country programs, together with global products and
services, focus on delivering results through an integrated approach of
evidence-based green growth planning and implementation aligned to
countries’ development priorities. The organization also focuses on
knowledge development and management activities which build a strong
theoretical and empirical basis for green growth, while providing
concrete options and guidance for policymakers; as well as building the
conditions for public and private green infrastructure investments.
Indonesia
is a founding member of the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI). Since
2013, the Government of Indonesia (GoI), under the leadership of the
Ministry for National Development Planning (BAPPENAS) has been working
with GGGI to develop strategies and approaches for green growth. This
has been possible through financial support from the Government of
Norway in Phase I (2013-2015) and in Phase II (2016-2019), which remains
ongoing.
The Government and GGGI have agreed
on a Country Planning Framework (CPF) for 2016-2020 to direct support
where it is most needed. The CPF is aligned with Indonesia’s strategic
action plans for climate change and the Green Planning and Budgeting
Strategy for Indonesia’s Sustainable Development, and is designed to
provide strategic support to the GoI in achieving its green growth
ambitions. The CPF will guide GGGI’s activities in Indonesia, to
maximize the value and impact to the core economic objectives of the
country. Through the Program, GGGI collaborates with Ministry of
National Development Planning, Ministry of Environment and Forestry,
Coordinating Ministry of Economic Affairs, Ministry of Energy and
Mineral Resources, National Institute of Public Administration,
provincial government of Central and East Kalimantan.
Law
number 32/2009 on Environmental Protection and Management, article
15-16 mandate that the local government to carry out SEAs when
developing the RPJMD, RTRW or other PPPs (policy, plan, program) with
potential environmental impacts. Following the law, the Government
Regulation of Republic Indonesia No 46 year 2016 (PP 46/2016) and
Ministry of Environment and Forestry Decree No. 69 year 2017 (Permen LHK
No.69/2017) were issued to detail the procedures for implementation of
SEA, including the requirement for a quality control/quality assurance -
QA/QC (penjaminan kualitas) and validity review. While the QA/QC should
be made by the owner of the PPP, the validity review as the final
quality control, will be carried out by the provincial Environment
Office (DLH) or the ministry (KLHK), depending on the administrative
level of PPPs. Both regulations mandate provincial DLH and KLHK to
validate SEA reports produced by districts and provincial governments in
substantial and procedural matters, respectively.
In
spite of the currently practiced QA/QC and validity procedures at both
provincial and national, there have been some concerns over the quality
of the SEA reports produced in the recent years, especially important
with the given dynamic state of procedures and substantial requirements
applied for SEA and development/spatial plans, following the recently
legalized regulations (Law 23/2014, PP46/2016, PP 13/2017 on National
Spatial Plans, Permendagri No 86/2017 on RPJMDs, and the newly-enacted
the Permendagri No 7 2018). Therefore, the Global Green Growth Institute
Indonesia Office has agreed to conduct SEA implementation for East
Kalimantan Regional Development Plans (RPJMD).
