In October 2020, the Minister of National Planning Agency (Bappenas) signed Decree No. 89/M.PPN/HK/10/2020 on the Establishment of The Strategic Coordination Team for Wetlands Management (including peatland & mangrove) to support Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Low Carbon Development in Indonesia.

 

The Strategic Coordination Team established to manage wetlands ecosystems (including mangrove and peatland) to achieve emission reduction and SDGs no 13 (climate action), 14 (life below water), and 15 (life on land) that requires synergy, synchronization, and coordination among other Ministries/institutions for effective management. The Team will be responsible for developing strategy and roadmap, planning, synchronizing policies, data, and information, and implementing monitoring, evaluation, and reporting. There are three Task Forces as part of the Coordination Team with specific tasks for each, including the development of roadmap for peat and mangrove ecosystems (PME), policy synchronization with Provincial level, education, monitoring & evaluation.  

 

The establishment of this Strategic Coordination Team was initiated and supported by the project: "Mitigation, Adaptation through Conservation and Sustainable Livelihoods on Indonesia's Peat and Mangrove Ecosystems” which is implemented by Conservation International in collaboration with the Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR) and Wetlands International Indonesia, a part of the International Climate Initiative (IKI). As part of support to the national government, the project provided technical assistance to the Bappenas in the establishment of a coordination unit for peatland and mangrove management in Indonesia. The Project has supported the initiation of establishing this Coordination Team since March 2020 through a series of multi-stakeholder consultations led by Bappenas.

 

The kick-off meeting of this Team was in February, and will be followed by series of consultation to developing strategy and roadmap for wetlands management in Indonesia until 2045, supporting the country’s vision to become a developed country by 2045. An individual consultant is required to assists and support Bappenas in the development of wetlands management roadmap, in close collaboration with the Strategic Coordination Team and its working groups, inter-ministries, and other non-state actors.
