WEST PAPUA LIVELIHOODS

As one of the provinces with the largest Peatland and Mangrove Ecosystem (PME) in Indonesia, West Papua could only protect 10% of the mangroves area (650,000 ha). According to the socio-culture situation, the local community living in the mangrove areas is very limited as they only could utilize the mangrove ecosystem at a very minimum aspect, especially in Kaimana Regency, South Sorong Regency, and Bintuni Regency. The local community mostly utilizes the mangrove to fulfill their daily needs. However, some people generate several activities to increase their income based on limited opportunities. For example, Bintuni and Kaimana's local community started to sell shrimp and crabs to visitors outside West Papua.

 

CI Indonesia is calling for Consultancy Quotation to conduct a baseline survey to obtain preliminary data on the natural resource in the PME areas, the level of PME utilization, as well as the socio-economic condition of the local community; also conduct pre and post-assessment training programs to capture the impact of the activity and consider the report as a baseline to the evaluation and program planning in the future. The program will be implemented in Fakfak Regency, South Sorong Regency, Kaimana Regency, Sorong City, and Sorong Regency.
