Detailed narrative description of
project and actual services provided by firm:
Within the context of forest
protection and rezoning of forest areas, certain sections of forest
resources have been determined as production forests that do not as
such destroy the biodiversity. Within these zones, it is allowable
to convert prime forest areas into production forests and plantation
areas (such as oil palm plantations).
PT. Pugajinou was responsible
for land clearing of one such plantation zone, and carried out both
the land clearing itself and an environmental impact assessment to
safeguard and conserve the biodiversity of surrounding areas.

Detailed narrative description of
project and actual services provided by firm:
The ETESP will provide
rehabilitation and reconstruction support to mitigate the damages
caused by the devastating earthquake and tsunami. It will help
restore essential public services, rebuild infrastructure and revive
economic activity through livelihood support. In view of the scale,
complexity and nature of the disaster, ETESP adopts a two-phased
approach, focusing first on the provision of development support to
the less affected regions, along with launching of assessments in
the most affected regions where work will be initiated after the
resolution of spatial planning and safeguard issues.
The purpose of the proposed
assistance is to establish an information system to support forest
management and to outline forest zoning recommendations and
alternatives in NAD.
Approach and
Methodology
The establishment of a
geographic information system (GIS)-based forestry information
system will consist of: (i) establishment of baseline information
concerning forests and other natural resources the utilization of
which affects them; (ii) establishment of a GIS-based forestry
information system as a tool to support forest management, including
the implementation and enforcement of forest-related laws and
regulations; (iii) land suitability and current land use assessment
of current and planned forest management policies, plans and
programs; and (iv) capacity building within key technical positions
to provide a sustainable ongoing information system following the
completion of this project. In the longer term this proposed
forestry information system could become an integrated part of a
provincial natural resources management system that also encompasses
fisheries, agriculture, mining, and the
environment.
The establishment of baseline
information and a forestry information system will be done in seven
steps:
Information analysis based
on consultations with NAD forestry stakeholders. The working group and key
stakeholders will be intensively consulted about their
information needs, existing data and existing standards to
ensure the content and direction of this project leads to
providing a tool that is useful for the new forest management
institution.
Design and development of
forestry information system. Design and development of
the spatial database and basic applications making use of Arc
GIS tools and existing standards (in order of preference:
national, provincial, international, or designed under the study
if not yet available).
Initial data collection.
Based on the
results of the consultations with the forestry stakeholders,
information and data will be identified to be included in the
forestry information system. Since the tsunami a lot of aerial
and satellite imagery of NAD has been collected not only by the
ETESP SPEM projects but also BRR SIM-C, FFI, LIF and other
organizations. All relevant data will be collated and stored
into a GIS-based information system, considering existing data
standards and as much as possible using the Aceh Spatial Data
Infrastructure that is currently under development.
Identification of the forest
areas in NAD and its condition. This will be done using
recent satellite and/or radar imagery. The status will be
classified according to FAO used parameters, i.e. crown cover,
cubic meters/ha and biomass/ha. This will have to be supported
by ground truthing. This would be in support of the current
logging moratorium, to allow for an appropriate basic level
stocktaking of forest resources in the province prior to any
further interventions. This would also help to identify
significant areas of logging activities.
Mapping of those parts of
the forests that are affected by human intervention and the land
use of the surrounding areas. If the available aerial and satellite imagery does not provide
sufficient level of detail, additional imagery is required. Also
ground truthing will be required. This will result in more
detailed baseline data for the areas identified.
Development of forest
management tools
The GIS-based forestry
information system will include tools to compile forest cover, land
cover, land suitability, and planned land use data in order to
compare these and provide management information to authorities that
are responsible for forest management, monitoring of activities in
and around forests and forest-related law enforcement.
Forest monitoring.
The forest monitoring application is a tool to periodically
determine changes using satellite and aerial imagery obtained at
different moments in time. Once this imagery has been compared
with that of a previous date and analyzed, the system will
provide essential information in order to detect changes in
forest use and status over time. The monitoring application will
be used to identify temporal changes, over one period (length to
be determined) and depending on available data. This temporal
analysis will be oriented to the identification of areas
affected by human activities (“hot spots”). Hot spots will be
reported to the appropriate forest management agency for
verification of actual activities on the ground.
Determination of
contradictions between different land uses. Contradictions will be
identified through comparison of the results of the spatial data
analysis, land suitability analysis and environmental
assessment. Based on Kabupaten-level documents and development
proposals by other APG agencies or line ministries (agriculture,
plantation, mining, forestry, infrastructure), overlaying of
forest cover data with designated land-use/ forest function
zoning (e.g. production forest, protected forest) and locations
for proposed development and forest management activities to
identify conflicting uses, current or potential.
Forest rezoning for NAD.
Integration of the outputs from vi-a and vi-b, together with
sustainable forest management alternatives for identified
conflict forest zones will identify no-go-, slow-go forest
areas, and other forest and land use management alternatives
including reforestation, which can be proposed as input for the
provincial forest zoning in NAD. The sustainable forest
management alternatives should be obtained through a
consultation process with forestry stakeholders. The zoning
results will be displayed in a map at appropriate scale showing
revised forest utilization/ management zones based on principles
of sustainable forest management and appropriate land use
recommendations for adjacent areas (buffer zones). This possibly
will provide the basis for legalization of the plans as part of
a new provincial law regulation (‘Qanun’) on sustainable forest
management in NAD, guiding future development planning (RTRW)
processes in the Kabupaten with significant forest resources.
Stakeholder capacity
building and knowledge transfer. To ensure sustainability of the forestry information system, including
that of forest and other land use spatial data analysis
described above, two to three provincial government forest
management officers with basic knowledge of GIS and remote
sensing will be trained on the job in using remote sensing
interpretation and, if applicable, field data collection methods
for critical and selected forest areas. One training focus will
be on information system management, and the other on using
remote sensing tools for the purpose of regular monitoring of
forest conditions. This involves the set up of a provincial
remote sensing monitoring lab with equipment used by the
Project. As much as possible, the trainees should be involved
from the very beginning of the creation of the forest management
system in order that they get ownership of the system. This task
will also provide financial assistance for the participation of
provincial government officials to meet the objectives of this
task.
Outputs
The following outputs will be
produced during the study:
GIS based forestry
information system;
Consultation of key
stakeholders and focused roadmap for forestry information
system.
Maps showing forest and
adjacent land cover for NAD at an appropriate scale;
Digital dataset as forest
and land cover baseline (2007) for future monitoring activities.
Identification of fringe
areas where human activities may affect the management of the
forest area to focus management and monitoring activities.
Maps for NAD, showing
current and future land-use-forest cover conflict areas at an
appropriate scale.
Recommended revisions to
provincial forestry zoning at an appropriate scale, as input for
a strategic plan for sustainable forest management in NAD.
Capacity building and
knowledge transfer to provincial government forest authorities;
guidelines for the use of the forestry information system.

The objectives of the Targeted
Budget Support for National Education for All (EFA), are to assist
Viet Nam in the implementation of its National Education for All
Action Plan through: (a) targeted budgetary support for selected
sub-projects of the National Targeted Program for Education (NTP-E)
which are designed to enhance the quality of basic education, and
(b) strengthening of the administration of the NTP-E. TBS-EFA will
contribute towards the achievement of the goals of the National EFA
Action Plan by providing targeted budgetary support through the NTP-E
disbursement process. In response to the government’s request,
priority will be given to basic education and to the improvement of
educational outcomes in this sub-sector. More specifically, TBS-EFA
will support Viet Nam to make progress towards the improvement of
educational outcomes through a package of investments designed to
enhance the quality of education in classrooms as well as to
strengthen the administration of the education system. The goal of
TBS-EFA is that, during the period of support, the number of schools
achieving Fundamental School Quality Levels will increase. Since
schools with low FSQL scores tend to serve poorer communities, the
beneficiary group will contain a higher proportion of poor children
and ethnic minorities than the population of Viet Nam in general.

Feasibility assessment for
USAID/Indonesia’s Office of Education to identify options for
strengthening the quality, relevance and access to technical
education in Aceh province. This assessment is an important
component of the USAID-Chevron $10 million public-private alliance
to support technical education in Aceh after the tsunami of December
2004. Signed in May 2005, the objectives of the USAID-Chevron
alliance include increasing the ability of Acehnese, particularly
women, to participate in reconstruction, obtain employment and to
support overall economic development in the province. The first
phase of the program now underway focuses on providing short-term
and intensive training opportunities for approximately 330 Acehnese
youth in key areas related to reconstruction (carpentry, welding,
etc.) at Chevron’s technical training facility in Riau.
Based on the recommendations of
this feasibility study, USAID and Chevron will contribute up to $5
million each to provide a combination of facility construction and
technical assistance to strengthen the provision of technical
education within Aceh province at the post-secondary (higher
education) level. Chevron’s experience in developing a polytechnic
institute in Riau province (the PCR) from start to finish provides
an effective model that to the extent possible can be used to meet
the needs in Aceh. The recommendations of this assessment have
guided the future investment of the USAID-Chevron alliance for
technical education.
The USAID-Chevron public-private
alliance is a critical element of the overall USG recovery and
reconstruction assistance program for Aceh. Through a Strategic
Objective Agreement with the Government of Indonesia’s Agency for
Rehabilitation and Reconstruction in Aceh (the BRR), the United
States has committed to provide over $330 million to promote
recovery and reconstruction in Aceh. A major component of the U.S.
program in Aceh is support for the rehabilitation of the critical
Banda Aceh to Meulaboh road. Other activities focus on livelihood
restoration, longer-term economic recovery, small infrastructure,
community development and basic local government services. The
USAID-Chevron alliance plays an important role in supporting these
efforts.
The Consortium was responsible
for fielding of the team to conduct the above assessment and provide
recommendations as warranted; progress monitoring; quality control
of the assessment report, recruitment and contracting of local
experts; liaison and coordination with USAID, local governments,
universities and the private sector. The team developed the overall
educational assessment framework; assessed existing technical and
vocational education institutions; assessed the short- and long-term
industry demand, including anticipated growth sectors; assessed the
construction aspects of the feasibility study and associated costs,
and provided recommendations set forth in a detailed assessment
report.

Detailed narrative description of
project and actual services provided by firm:
The project evaluated the $3
million Managing Basic Education: Developing Local Government
Capacity (MBE) program, which began in February 2003.
The objective of this
evaluation is two-fold:
To examine and report on
the overall impact of the MBE project as it draws to a close,
including detailed information on the results and impact
achieved by MBE, strengths and weaknesses of the project and its
implementation mechanisms, and lessons learned.
To explore and examine
strategies and approaches for continuing to support successful
elements of the MBE project after its completion by linking with
the Government of Indonesia (GOI), other democracy and
governance related projects, and potentially, other
implementers.
This
evaluation
will determine the extent the MBE contractor accomplished the
contract’s tasks, including an analysis of the implementation and
achievement of the work plan goals, and a general constructive
discussion and critique of the strengths and weaknesses of MBE’s
technical approach. The evaluation will report on how teachers,
school administrators, district authorities, and community members
perceive the MBE interventions and what they think the major
contributions of MBE have been, including what has been most
meaningful and useful, and what has been perceived as ineffective or
