Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park 1 Environmental and Social Management Framework
1.0 PROJECT BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES PROJECT BACKGROUND
The objective of the KfW-funded Intensive Protection Zone (IPZ) project is to conserve “highly threatened
tropical rainforest in the Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park (BBSNP) as priority habitat for critically
endangered species and carbon sink through innovative management concepts and sustainable land use
management in cooperation with local communities and the national park authority” (WCS IPZ project Environmental and Social Management Framework [ESMF] Terms of Reference [TOR]). The Project has been screened and assessed as Category B and all proposed sub-projects will undergo further review and consideration, particularly in relation to potential environmental and social impacts and mitigation measures. As such, the ESMF is guided by the International Finance Corporation (IFC) Performance Standards (PSs) listed in section 3.2. Additionally, national safeguard policies have been considered and documented.
The “Conserving Priority Habitats in the BBSNP” project concerns the management of an IPZ of 100,137 hectares (ha) within the park boundaries..’ This project will complement and support several elements of the required actions for the removal of the site from the in danger list, for BBSNP, and contribute to reducing pressure on the Government of Indonesia (GoI) for action on these issues. This includes species and habitat monitoring, improved law enforcement using a spatial monitoring and reporting tool (SMART) patrol system, clarification of boundary issues, and harmonisation of local spatial planning and licensing with the park buffer zone.
The project also addresses objectives and activities under the National Strategy and Action Plans for Sumatran Tiger, Sumatran Rhinoceros, and Asian Elephant (MoEF: P42/Menhut-II/2007, P44/Menhut-II/2007, P43/Menhut-II/2007, P53/Menhut-II/2007) and human-wildlife conflict (P48/Menhut-II/2008), as well as Indonesian commitments under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) enacted by Presidential Decision 43/1978 through its activities aimed at strengthening controls on the illegal wildlife trade.
The seven-year project (2017 to 2023) is being funded by the International Climate Initiative (Internationale Klimaschutzinitiative [IKI]) of the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMU), through the KfW Entwicklungsbank. The Project Partners consist of the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS), World Wildlife Fund (WWF) Germany and Indonesia programs, and Yayasan Badak Indonesia (YABI). These partners will provide technical assistance to the BBSNP management authority and other government and civil society stakeholder groups with an interest in the national park and its buffer zone.
The project design is based on a theory of change that involves reducing anthropogenic pressure on priority areas in the BBSNP, improving national park and conservation zone management including establishing an Intensive Management Zone (IMZ), and thereby effectively protect the habitat of endangered species: Sumatran rhinoceros, Sumatran tiger, and Sumatran elephant.
Reducing anthropogenic pressure on priority areas in the BBSNP requires collaboration with the adjacent local communities to improve sustainable land use, and to change attitudes and behaviours towards the endangered species (for example, hunting and poaching). Improving national park and conservation zone management also requires cooperation with the park authority and other users and stakeholders, with multi-facetted strategies, addressed in various activity packets. The project design consists of five components (Table 1).

Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park 3 Environmental and Social Management Framework
The project environmental and social management framework (ESMF) and supporting documents provides a discussion on the project context, regulatory framework, impacts and mitigation measures, institutional arrangements, public consultation and information disclosure, grievance redress mechanism, monitoring and evaluation and reporting requirements.
A list of sub-projects that are ineligible for funding under the Tropical Forest Conservation Project is provided in Appendix A1.
This ESMF has been prepared through consultations and will be updated as required to reflect any changes to program investments irrespective of donor, national legislation, the KfW or other donor policies. The ESMF will be publicly disclosed to local communities and the general public.
ESMF SCOPE AND APPROACH The ESMF is prepared to identify, avoid, reduce, and mitigate the risks of the potential social and environmental impacts on the proposed KfW BBS projects. It provides guidance for the KfW BBS Project Management Unit to screen proposals for feasibility studies (providing an ineligible activities that cannot be supported either because of Indonesian legislation or IFC PSs and Environmental, Health and Safety (EHS) Guidelines, guidance for the preparation of a ToR for social and environmental studies under the Feasibility Studies, and guidance on the inclusion of social and environmental aspects into Requests for Proposal, including the ToR of detailed social and environmental assessments to be carried out after bid awards.
The ESMF was prepared in line with the IFC PSs and EHS Guidelines, and in accordance with Indonesian national laws and regulations. Any activity funded by the KfW BBS Project will be implemented in accordance to the principles of sustainable development, including environmental, social, cultural, and economic considerations, as already governed in prevailing laws and regulations. This ESMF adopts GoI’s laws and regulations to the extent that they are consistent with the IFC PSs and EHS Guidelines.
The ESMF is a living document developed in tandem with the project’s detailed design and will be implemented along with the other safeguard instruments such as Stakeholder Engagement Plan (SEP), Indigenous Peoples Planning Framework (IPPF) and Process Framework (PF). Specific objectives of the ESMF include:
integrating the environmental and social concerns into the identification, design and implementation of all project interventions in order to ensure that those are environmentally sustainable and socially feasible;
ensuring all relevant environmental and social issues are mainstreamed into the design and implementation of the project and also in the subsequent phases of the Project;
considering in an integrated manner the potential environmental and social risks, benefits and impacts of the program and identify measures to avoid, minimize and manage risks and impacts while enhancing benefits;
ensuring compliance with national and KfW requirements, such as IFC PSs and IFC EHS Guidelines; and
guiding development of the detailed action plans for mitigations for the later phases of the project as appropriate to the project components/sub‐components and agreed work packages.
DRAFT
Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park 4 Environmental and Social Management Framework
The ESMF sets out the requirements and steps to screen, assess, manage and monitor the mitigation measures of potential environmental and social impacts of the Project, and for the handling of Project consultation processes and grievances. It provides an overview of the types of subproject activities to be assessed, the environmental and social screening process and the subproject‐specific safeguard instruments that will be prepared once the project locations and other details are known. Monitoring and reporting are also addressed to ensure ongoing adherence to environmental and social safeguards.
Guidance is provided to support the implementors: KfW BBS Project staff from WCS, WWF, and YABI with government and community stakeholders ‐ to comply with the Project requirements, procedures and regulations related to environmental management, land acquisition and resettlement (as it relates to restricted access to natural resources and economic displacement), and Indigenous Peoples. The guidance provided is in accordance with prevailing GoI regulations and supplemental provisions of relevant KfW Sustainability Guideline (2016), IFC EHS Guidelines, along with other good practice references.
GUIDING PRINCIPLES This ESMF and associated documents incorporate the following principles:
Every effort will be made to identify environmental and social risks and mitigation measures;
All Project stakeholders will be trained to become aware of potential environmental and social risks and mitigation measures under the Project and carry out their responsibilities under this ESMF; and
Local communities in the Project intervention areas will be engaged in all stages of the sub‐project/activity planning, implementation, management, and monitoring.
Overview of ESMF Methodology In developing this ESMF, WCS engaged experienced consultants to work with the national and field teams to develop a common understanding of ESMF. The team held an inception workshop, conducted field visits and village level consultations including focus group discussions (FGDs) in October 2019. The consultants and the Project Management Unit (PMU) team collaborated on the following key steps to develop the content for this ESMF:
Screening ‐ the process is conducted by considering a project design or plan and its implementation context, along with guiding policies, regulations and standards, to identify potential impacts, risks, issues, and options for mitigation approaches. Results of screening, to be done by the Project team prior to any implementation plan development, will include: an outline of the main area of footprint or the boundary for baseline data; the identification of the Project activities which are most relevant for impact assessment, namely those with most direct potential to impact people or the environment; and the types of impacts anticipated as a result of the initial screening, which are then analysed further as part of the impact assessment, outlined in the ESMF, and in other instruments needed. For example, as this Project is implemented in areas where IP reside and are potentially impacted, an IPPF is required. Similarly, as there will be resource access restrictions and economic displacement resulting from project activities, a PF will be prepared.
Environmental and social baseline development – based on an understanding of the Project area and activities, the baseline data is compiled to provide a starting point upon which the impact of Project
DRAFT
Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park 5 Environmental and Social Management Framework
activities can be predicted, assessed and monitored. The baseline data outline is included in the ESMF and developed in more detail in separate documents including the ESMPs for each site. The social baseline includes social, cultural, economic and other data on history, development and any issues that serve as relevant context to understand the Project implementation setting. The environmental baseline is determined by the scope of the Project, but sets out the general bio‐physical, ecological and climatic conditions, highlighting any particular features or vulnerable areas for attention.
Impact analysis and mitigation planning – assessment of potential impacts from Project activities considers both benefits and risks with a level of effort to analyze and plan mitigations that are commensurate with the severity of the potential impact. Screening provides the first level of impact identification and combined with baseline data and the Project description, analyses are carried out to define and assess the potential impacts. Mitigation focuses most on efforts required to avoid or minimize negative impacts, and opportunities to maximise positive impacts are identified. Adjusting or adapting the Project location, activities or strategies to prevent impacts, and to accommodate public input and concerns regarding potential impacts is a process to be carried out by the project teams and described in the ESMF.
Consultation and Disclosure – various methods of consultation used to access information including perspectives or opinions on the Project concept, planned activities, baseline data, issues and potential impacts and mitigation options, to correct, improve and validate the ESMF content. Consultations on the ESMF and Project implementation were held at selected villages, the provincial capital cities in the Project area, and at the national level to obtain participants’ feedback on the Project design, mitigation measures and grievance mechanism. Input from the consultant team was also incorporated into the ESMF to inform and adapt project activities.
Developing a Grievance Redress Mechanism (GRM) – discussions of current or previous communications processes and handling of grievances, to develop a formal mechanism which will be conveyed to stakeholders, which field teams are to be trained to use, and which will be monitored by management and donors on a periodic basis. The GRM in the ESMF may be adaptively modified or updated during Project implementation to ensure its applicability and effectiveness.
2.0 RELEVANT PROJECT ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL CONTEXT
ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING The GoI began to focus on conservation when government representatives participated in the 7th International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) technical meeting in New Delhi, India on November 25-28, 1969 where they presented papers entitled "Nature Reserves and National Parks in Indonesia: Conditions and Problems" and "Nature Conservation Education in Indonesia". Subsequently, the Directorate of Nature Protection and Preservation developed a plan to promote conservation areas in Indonesia with the assistance of the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in 1974.
Laws and regulations have noticeably evolved since these events when Law No. 5/1990 concerning Conservation of Biological Natural Resources and their Ecosystems replaced several antiquated laws and regulations dating from the Dutch East Indies government. Starting in the 1990s, several non-governmental organizations (NGOs) initiated programs to conserve nature in the country and to save wild animals threatened with extinction.
DRAFT
Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park 6 Environmental and Social Management Framework
The Republic of Indonesia Law No. 41/1999 outlines the legal framework for forestry management of national parks and stipulates that: i) the main purpose of national park management is the preservation of biodiversity and park ecosystems with limited use for education, research, aquaculture activities, and nature tourism; ii) national parks are managed by the National Park Authority under the Ministry of Forestry; iii) a zoning system will used for the management of national parks; and iv) there are no zones within national parks that are designated for settlements, rice fields, resource harvesting, or other productive land uses.
Lampung Province
Lampung Province has five distinct topographical zones: i) hilly and mountainous; ii) rolling hills, iii) alluvial land, iv) tidal marsh land; and v) river basins. Mountain slopes are steep and rugged, with slopes in excess of 25% and heights greater than 300 meters above sea level (masl). These areas include the Buki Barisan mountain range and its notable peaks: Mount Tanggamus, Mount Pasawaran and Mount Rajabasa. The other peaks in the northern extend of this range include Mount Pugung, Mount Pesagi and Mount Sekincau which are dominated by primary and secondary forest vegetation. Baseline condition of Lampung Province provided in Appendix A2.
Tanggamus Regency
Tanggamus Regency, where BBSNP is located, is a division of the South Lampung Regency and was established by Law No. 2/1997 Establishment of Tulang Bawang Level II District and Tanggamus Level II Regency. Tanggamus Regency encompasses tropical coastal waters and plains where temperature average 28o Celsius and the regency extends up Mount Tanggamus to more than 2,000 masl where average temperatures are distinctly cooler. Rainfall is relatively high, close to 3,000 millimeters (mm) per year particularly in areas with hilly and mountainous terrain. The regency also has abundant surface and ground water resources and surface water drainage is dominated by the Sekampung and Semangka rivers.
Pesisir Barat Regency
Pesisir Barat Regency is the newest district in Lampung Province resulting from the expansion of Lampung Barat Regency, which was approved under Law No. 22/2012 concerning the Establishment of the Pesisir Barat Regency of Lampung Province. The climatic conditions in the regency are influenced by its natural setting which is adjacent to the Bukit Barisan Mountains and bordered by the Indian Ocean on the west. The regency can be topographically delineated from sea level – an area which covers the entire western portion of Pesisir Barat District (Pesisir Utara District, Pesisir Tengah District and Psisir Selatan District) – to the hilly terrain with heights between 600 masl to 1,000 masl and includes the BBSNP.
Lampung Barat Regency
West Lampung Regency is located in Lampung province and the district capital is located in Liwa. This regency was created according to Law No. 6/1991 dated August 16, 1991 which was the result of the division of North Lampung Regency. This regency is dominant with hills and beaches along the west coast of Lampung and mountainous areas, along the Bukit Barisan range. The regency includes volcanic peaks reaching elevations of 1,000 masl. In some places volcanic activity and geothermal generation are active.

Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park 7 Environmental and Social Management Framework
Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park
Based on information from the Directorate General of Forest Protection and Nature Conservation (DJPHKA) at the MoEF, BBSNP encompasses 356,800 ha of land and 21,600 ha of waters. The bulk of the park (290,800 ha) is located in Lampung Province of which 280,300 ha is located in the administrative area of West Lampung. Landscape conditions in the park range from high to low elevation mountain rainforests and extend into areas with distinct lowland vegetation and coastal forest vegetation.
To improve management effectiveness, the BBSNP area is divided into zones. Currently, the zones in the BBSNP region are changing because some forest areas which were designated a jungle zone (including the Sekincau region) are being re-classified as rehabilitation zones due to the high rate of deforestation and forest degradation.
Changes in the boundaries of the BBSNP have caused changes in the status of residential areas and residents' agricultural land. An asynchronous determination of the boundary alignment causes differences in the perception of the boundary location between the BBSNP and the local communities. This was observed particularly with the residential areas in the Mount Sekincau area which had previously been settled during the BRN trans-migration prior to the area being designated as a national park.
Biodiversity updates
Based on the fourth technical report KfW-IKI, no direct rhinoceros were sighted from the 79 camera traps that were installed in the IPZ in December 2018 and retrieved in May 2019. No evidence of rhinoceros activity has been found since this time although data processing is not yet completed.
The Project has been working with the BBSNP management authority to conduct a fecal-DNA survey for Sumatran elephants. Field data were collected from 2017 to 2018 to estimate the: 1) population size; 2) sex ratio; 3) distribution; and 4) genetic diversity using a combination of spatially-explicit capture-recapture and non-invasive genetic molecular techniques.
Related to conflict and post-conflict aspects, several aspects need to be considered: the parties involved in handling conflict; conflict handling funds; conflict handling team; compensation scheme for losses caused due to conflict; and post-conflict reporting and monitoring. Activities already conducted by Project staff include:
Surveys and monitoring conducted for elephants inside the Forest Management Units (FMU) IX North Kota Agung;
Ground-truthing survey conducted for land cover used by elephants in the FMU IX;
Two tree houses constructed to monitor wildlife, especially for one herd of elephants that consists of 12 individuals; and
Eleven RPUs operate in the BBSNP to patrol, survey, monitor, support the ILEU with information regarding illegal activities and mitigate human-wildlife conflict.
As a result of monitoring activities, the Wildlife Crime Unit (WCU) and Intelligency and Law Enforcement Unit (ILEU) provided data to government agencies that led to one investigation and the apprehension of three suspects for illegal trading of two greater mouse deer at Kota Agung seaport in Lampung province.
The PMU arranged several plans for further activities related to human-wildlife conflict including:

SOCIAL SETTING
Tanggamus Regency
The population of Tanggamus Regency was estimated in 2017 to be 586,624 consisting of 305,594 male and 281,030 female residents based on a growth rate of 1.08% from 2016. While the average population density in the regency in 2017 was 126 people/km2, the population density in the 20 sub-districts ranged from 1,224 inhabitants/km2 in the Gisting sub-district to 73 people/km2 in the Kecamatan Limau sub-district. Healthcare facilities in Tanggamus Regency include two hospitals, two maternity hospitals, 23 public health centers, 672 health posts, 19 health clinics / clinics, and 198 public health posts.
Pesisir Barat Regency
Schooling facilities in the regency are extensive and include elementary schools to senior high schools/madrasah Aliyah as well as Islamic schools which support the Muslin majority in the population (98 percent). Health care in Pesisir Barat Regency can be assessed by the increase in the number of infants immunized since 2017. The poverty rate – 390,875 Indonesian rupiah per month - in the regency decreased slightly from 15.91% in 2016 to 15.61% on 2017.
Lampung Barat Regency
Data from the academic year of 2015 to 2016 indicate that the 113 pre-school educational facilities (kindergarten), 198 elementary schools (SD), 34 junior high schools (SLTP), and 14 senior high schools (SLTA) in the regency appear to be adequate in the public and private sectors.
Regency health facilities includes one district hospital, 15 community health centers, and 244 Posyandu which are staffed by 13 physicians, 112 nurses, and 114 midwives.
The majority (98.67%) of the population in the regency is Muslim. The Ministry of Religious tallied the number of places of worship constructed by government and NGOs: 735 Mosques, 122 little Mosques, eight churches, five Pura, and four Vihara.
Ten focused villages in the IPZ area
Between 27 July 2018 and 14 August 2018, WWF conducted a rapid assessment of livelihoods and encroachment patterns based on 300 out of a total 5,125 households. Households were selected from communities living around the forest and who utilize forest products and environmental services and with the goal that 20% to 30% of respondents would be housewives and teenagers. The survey was conducted through interview in respondent’s house or in their fields.
Study result indicate that educational level of most respondents is at the elementary school level (29%) although almost 25% of respondents never received a formal education. The study found that 85% of respondents know that there is a national park surrounding their villagesand that 93% of respondents understand that farming inside the national park is illegal. However, only 44% of respondents are aware of the location of the BBSNP boundary. In the Margomulyo and Tebaliyokh villages, all respondents were

Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park 9 Environmental and Social Management Framework
aware of the BBSNP and know that farming inside the park is illegal. This high awareness level in these two villages may be an outcome from the awareness programmes carried out by the BBSNP together with WWF, WCS, and YABI. Nonetheless, 65% of respondents claimed that they have never obtain information about BBSNP management and its zonation.
The study also assessed monthly household expenditures. The findings indicate that household expenditure in the IPZ area ranges from Rp 163,312.5 (approximately 10 EUR) to Rp 1,758,000 (approximately 110 EUR) with an average of Rp 443,351 (approximately 28 EUR) per household per month. Based on these findings, the communities in the IPZ area, on average, have higher expenditures than the poverty threshold of Lampung Province which is Rp 402,307. However, the cost of living in several communities is high due to food and other vital living expenses so these communities may be categorized as poor and near poor. Rice is the largest expenditure in these households and average monthly expenditure is Rp 354,586 which is approximately 78% of their monthly household expenditure. The high dependency on buying rice is due to the limited extent rice fields compared to plantation crops such as coffee, cocoa particularly in Margomulyo , Ulok Mukhti, and Paku Negara villages.
Indigenous Peoples
There are several IPs identified within the IPZ project area. The IFC PSs underscore the requirement to identify IPs, consult with them, ensure that they participate in, and benefit from the KfW-funded project(s) in a culturally appropriate way and that adverse impacts on them are avoided or, where not feasible to avoid, then minimized or mitigated. For purposes of this policy, the term “Indigenous Peoples” is used in a generic sense to refer to a distinct, vulnerable, social and cultural group possessing the following characteristics in varying degrees:
Self-identification as members of a distinct indigenous cultural group and recognition of this identity by others;
Collective attachment to geographically distinct habitats or ancestral territories in the project area and to the natural resources in these habitats and territories;
Customary cultural, economic, social, or political institutions that are separate from those of the dominant society and culture; and
An indigenous language, often different from the official language of the country or region.
Ethnic Lampung, commonly called Ulun Lampung or Lampung people, historically occupied the entire Lampung Province and part of the provinces of South and Central South Sumatra which encompasses the Martapura area, in Muaradua at Ogan Komering Ulu (OKU), Kayu Agung, Komering at Ogan Komering Ilir (OKI), Merpas in the south of Bengkulu and Cikoneng on the beach West Banten. Ethnic Lampung uses a local language and has its own script. In the Lampung ethnic community, it is divided into two neighborhoods or adat units, among others Lampung society with Pepadun and Saibatin communities. The Saibatin community is well known for its aristocracy while the customs of the Pepadun community, which emerged later, followed the practices of the Abung people and had democracy values as opposed to the aristocracy values held by the Saibatin community. The Saibatin Lampung people are often also called Coastal Lampung because most of them reside along the east, south and west coastlines of Lampung Province.

VULNERABLE AND RISK Several of the forest areas designated by MoEF have not yet been completed established as forest areas, and even some of these areas have not been demarcated on the field. In several areas designated as forest areas, settlements, arable land, community fields and community activities have existed prior to the forest area being designated such under the national regulation. As a result, conflicts on the use of the area have arisen between the community and the area manager.
In the management of conservation areas, problems arising as a result of the gap between Forest Area Determination Regulations (criteria, requirements and regulations relating to the determination of forest areas) and the determination of forest areas have the potential to be a source of conflict in forest management. This dynamic causes the efforts to protect and secure forest areas to be have limited effect and, in the end, efforts to enforce the law against disturbance of forest areas are weakened. Agreement from each party on spatial planning for the co-existence of community areas, forest areas and non-forest areas is a possible solution to this problem.
STAKEHOLDER MAPPING Stakeholder mapping of all relevant stakeholders, including impacted people, government agencies and other institutions such as NGOs with activities in the project area, local media, religious and customary (adat) leaders, academics in relevant disciplines, and others were identified by the Project teams in Lampung Province.
Following an initial one-to-one stakeholder engagement, WCS convened a one-day landscape-focused roundtable in Bandar Lampung on 16 October 2017. This meeting represents a major milestone in bringing together, for the first time, the key stakeholders associated with the national park and the coffee farmers to discuss the issues facing the BBS landscape and the smallholder robusta coffee bean farmers, as well as the role of different stakeholders in developing and implementing solutions.
On December 8th 2017, an official inception meeting including the national park management, provincial and national governmental officials and many key stakeholders was held in Bandar Lampung, Sumatra. The provincial government, the Director General from the MoEF and the national park management with the NGO partners expressed support to the Project goals during this meeting.
WCS, WWF and YABI have started to socialize the Project among their own stakeholders of the Project activities and jointly towards key stakeholders like the BBSNP regarding the Project outcomes and activities.
3.0 REGULATORY AND INSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORK
NATIONAL REGULATORY FRAMEWORKS The Bukit Barisan Selatan protected area was designated in 1935 as a wildlife sanctuary through Besluit Van Degouvernoor-General Van Nederlandsch Indie Number 48 Stbl 1935 named South Sumatra I (SM SS I). On April 1, 1979, the status was changed to a Nature Conservation Area, then designated as a National Park through the Minister of Agriculture's Decree Number 736 / Mentan / X / 1982 - 14th October 1982.
Following the issuance of the Presidential Decree on illegal logging and sawmill eradication in 2005, there was an integrated effort from the provincial and district governments, as well as from the provincial departments of justice, police and forestry to eradicate these activities in the national park.

Constitution of Indonesia
The Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia states that the conservation of natural resources includes sustainable management while maintaining and improving the value and diversity of national parks as Nature Conservation Areas that contain native ecosystems and are managed through a zoning system that is utilized for research, science purposes, knowledge, education, supporting cultivation, tourism and recreation.
The Ministry of Environmental and Forestry Policy, approved by the Decision of the General Director of Forest Protection and Nature Conservation No: SK.152/IV-SET/2015, dated 29 May 2015supported the development of an Intensive Protection Zone (IPZ) as an effort to increase the Sumatran rhinoceros population. The main goal of this policy was to protect and increase the Sumatran rhinoceros population in the BBSNP.
National Environmental Law
Environmental Protection and Management (PPLH) according to Law No. 32/2009 Article 1 Paragraph (2) is a systematic and integrated effort undertaken to preserve environmental functions and prevent environmental pollution and / or damage which includes planning, utilization, control, maintenance, supervision and law enforcement. The law was passed in Jakarta, 3 October 2009 by the President and Minister of Law and Human Rights of the Republic of Indonesia.
This law clearly states in Chapter 10 Section 3 Article 69 prohibitions on environmental protection and management which include prohibition of pollution, emitting dangerous and toxic substances (B3), dumping waste into the environment, and opening land by burning.
These prohibitions are followed by strict and clear sanctions listed in Chapter 15 regarding criminal provisions, and Articles 97 to 123. Article 103 states: Every person who produces B3 waste and does not implement management as referred to in Article 59, shall be sentenced to a minimum of one year imprisonment to a maximum of three years and a fine from one billiong rupiah to three billion rupiah.
Adat/Customary Laws
Indigenous people have lived in Indonesia since the days of our ancestors. Community customary law is a territorial or geneological unit of society that has its own wealth defined by citizens who can be distinguished from other legal community members and can act inside or outside as an independent legal entity (subject of law) and govern themselves. Every province in Indonesia has customary law community units with their own characteristics that have existed for hundreds of years .
The 1945 Constitution affirmed the existence of IPs. Article 18B, Paragraph (2) of the 1945 Constitution as a result of the second amendment states that the State recognizes and respects the customary law community units along with their traditional rights in accordance with the development of the community and the principles of the unitary state of the Republic of Indonesia.The provisions of Article 18B Paragraph (2) of the 1945 Constitution are strengthened by the provisions of Article 281 Paragraph (3) of the 1945 Constitution that traditional cultural and community identities are respected in line with the times and civilizations.

areas and the management of forest areas with special objectives. Article 1 Clause 5 of the Minister of Forestry Regulation No: P.43/Menhut-II/2013 designates Special Purpose Forest Areas (KHDTK) including Conservation Forests, Protected Forests, and Production Forests for research and development, education and training, as well as for social, religious and cultural interest without changing the main function of the relevant forest area.
Chapter III Article 8 of the President of the Republic of Indonesia Regulation No. 88/2015 on the Completion of Land Tenure in Forest Areas (PPTKH) provides guidance on the types of settlements permissible on land owned in an area after it has been stipulated as a forest area. This includes:
a. Removal of the land from the forest area through changes in forest boundaries;
b. Exchange of forest areas;
c. Provide access to forest management through social forestry programs; and
d. Resettlement.
This regulation includes guidance on building an Acceleration Team to settle land tenure disputes in forested area and how-to organization members of the PPTKH. Article 14 Clause 2 of the same regulation includes the procedure that must be implemented in this process of settling land tenure disputes.
Human-Wildlife Conflict
The Ministry of Forestry Regulation No. P.48/Menhut-II/2008 Guideline for Conflict Management Between Human and Wildlife provides details on handling human-wildlife conflict. Chapter III of this regulation lays the foundation for establishing institutions, specific tasks and procedures related to human-wildlife conflict.
Chapter IV discusses conflict handling procedures such as information flow, information analysis, compensation and also the legal process that must be followed. Chapter V focuses on how a human-wildlife conflict institution or community plans can be established to prevent conflict between humans and wildlife through the provision of data and information on maps in conflict-prone areas, and providing education and community awareness about conflict. Chapter VI details reporting and monitoring stages following human-wildlife conflict incidents.
National Social Laws
Social conflict management is regulated by Law No. 7/2012 concerning Handling of Social Conflict. This law explains that the diversity of ethnic, religious, racial, and Indonesian culture with a population of more than 230 million peopleis the nation's wealth that directly or indirectly makes a positive contribution to efforts to create community welfare.
The President of Indonesia also established laws and regulations regarding public complaints, namely Presidential Regulation of the Republic of Indonesia No. 76/2013 concerning Management of Public Service Complaints. Article 2 of this regulation states that the Complainant has the right to submit complaints about implementing services that are not in accordance with service standards or waive obligations and / or violations of prohibitions by the organizer. This regulation contains the minimum requirements that must be in a public complaints process from the lowest level to the national level. Article 18 Paragraph 1 states that the Minister coordinates the management of complaints nationally.

APPLICABLE IFC PERFORMANCE STANDARDS TRIGGERED BY THE PROJECT
The International Finance Corporation’s (IFC) Policy and Performance Standards on Environmental and Social Sustainability and Social Safeguard Policies are the basis for sustainable development. The aim of these policies is to prevent and mitigate potential adverse impacts to the environment and communities as a result of development. These policies give the IFC, other lenders and borrowers guidelines on the identification, preparation and implementation of programs and projects so that they are environmentally and socially sustainable.
The IFC has eight Performance Standards (PS):
PS1 – Assessment and Management of Environmental and Social Risk and Impacts;
PS2 – Labor and Working Conditions;
PS3 – Resource Efficiency and Pollution Prevention;
PS4 – Community Health, Safety and Security;
PS5 – Land Acquisition and Involuntary Resettlement;
PS6 – Biodiversity Conservation and Sustainable Management of Living Natural Resources;
PS7 – Indigenous Peoples; and
PS8 – Cultural Heritage.
The IPZ project was assessed relative to the IFC PSs and six of the eight PSs are triggered (Table 2). According to IFC the proposed KfW BBS Project activities categorized as B. Note that the IFC PS1 is not triggered by IKI projects but is included in the ESMF because of the environmental and social aspects of the Project.
An ESMF establishes a unified process for addressing all environmental and social safeguards issues on subprojects from preparation, through review and approval, to implementation. Effective implementation of an ESMF will ensure that the substantive concerns of all IFC PS will be satisfactorily addressed.

Table 2 IFC PSs triggered by the IPZ project.
IFC Performance
Standard Objective Trigger Rationale
PS. 1: Assessment and Management of Environmental and Social Risks and Impacts
Identify project E&S risks and impacts
Adopt mitigation hierarchy
Anticipate, avoid, minimize, compensate or offset
Improve performance through an Environmental and Social Management System (ESMS)
Engagement with Affected Communities, other stakeholders throughout the project cycle
Includes communications, grievance
This PS is triggered since there are environmental and social impacts associated with project activities, such as patrol activities, law enforcement and community development activities targeting former/current encroachers, poachers and others. The minor construction works financed by the project are not expected to have any environmental impacts as they are limited to rehabilitation of some park/resort facilities within an existing footprint area. Removal of invasive species and reforestation activities are considered positive impacts with minor potential risks if not implemented wisely (for example, selection of tree species may be counter to objectives of developing feed stock for critical species or their prey). The support for land use changes is expected to have a positive impact on forest conditions, with an emphasis on re-establishing critical habitat. However, there are potential negative social impacts such as community discord or tension related to law enforcement, perception of equality in opportunities (for community development), and variable access to participation by marginal groups including women and indigenous peoples (conversely expressed as elite domination at the village level). Potential negative impacts of eco-tourism development are also flagged for consideration during impact analysis.
PS.2: Labor and Working Conditions
Fair treatment, non-discrimination, equal opportunity
Good worker – management relationship
Comply with national employment and labor laws
Protect workers, in particular vulnerable categories
Promote safety and health
Avoid use of forced or child labor
This PS is triggered since the project will employ or support employment of community members in patrol functions, and increase the working effectiveness of the BBSNP authority; project also interacts with key industries affecting labor in the region (i.e. coffee) with international networks, such that protection of worker rights can be highlighted through project effort, for example in the non- use of child labor in coffee production.

IFC Performance
Standard Objective Trigger Rationale
PS.4: Community Health, Safety and Security
To anticipate and avoid adverse impacts on the health and safety of the Affected community
To safeguard personnel and property in accordance with relevant human rights principles
This PS is triggered since the project includes activities that involve labor in: forest patrols; mediating conflict between wildlife and local human populations; law enforcement in potentially confrontational situations (hunting, poaching); and the possible use of pesticides or other products (for removal of invasive plant species in forests) which may be harmful if misused. These activities all contain an element of risk, which can be anticipated so as to avoid adversity.
PS.5: Land Acquisition and Involuntary Resettlement1
Avoid, minimize adverse social and economic impacts from land acquisition or restrictions on land use
Avoid, minimize displacement
Alternative project designs
Avoid forced eviction Improve or restore
livelihoods and standards of living
Improve living conditions among displaced persons, including adequate housing and security of tenure
This PS is triggered since the project involves working with BBSNP authorities and communities to facilitate the relocation of encroachers’ residences and gardens/crops from forest areas, both in the conservation zone and other areas of the forest estate under BBSNP. Although the community members’ presence and activities (farming, harvesting NTFP and hunting) are mostly illegal activities, the improved enforcement of regulations will mean restrictions on access to some sources of livelihood for select groups. The Village Conservation Agreement Assessment of eight focused villages was conducted in November 2018 and December 2018. The results of the assessment are: There is an area in Tebaliyokh village within the BBSNP
that has been opened up and converted into agricultural farm;
Bumi Hantatai village has 10 sub-villages located within BBSNP; and
Areas within the BBSNP which are close to the Ulok Mukti village have been opened and converted into agriculture farms.
PS.6: Biodiversity Conservation and Sustainable Management of Living Natural Resources
Protection and conservation of biodiversity
Maintenance of benefits from ecosystem services
Promotion of sustainable management of living natural resources
Integration of conservation needs and development priorities
This PS is triggered as the project activities are concentrated in national parks and protected areas. The anticipated impacts are positive and aim to balance conservation objectives by supporting human development needs. Key activities include reforestation, with consideration of selection of appropriate species; a key impact is increased wildlife and ecosystem services.

Ensure full respect for IPs Human rights, dignity,
aspirations Livelihoods Culture, knowledge,

impacts Sustainable and culturally
appropriate development benefits and opportunities
Free, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC) in certain circumstances
This PS is triggered due to the presence of IPs in some targeted villages as well as the wider area of influence. While access restrictions apply to all people, certain IPs may be more impacted. It is noted however that local regulations allow access and utilization of resources for certain traditional purposes (linked to identity, health etc.); this effectively protects them but may also create dual systems which may generate local tensions.
4.0 POTENTIAL ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL IMPACTS
By nature of the project which is a conservation initiative, it can be expected that positive environmental and social benefits will result by: a) establishing an IPZ and supporting policy, budgetary and scientific activities to manage it; b) reducing anthropogenic activities inside the BBSNP; and, c) providing alternative community livelihoods based on sustainable natural resource management. Key findings of the impact analysis are:
There are net positive environmental impacts anticipated, including on forests, endangered fauna, wider biodiversity values and environmental services. Positive outcomes anticipated are decreased poaching, increased wildlife populations including species currently categorized as endangered, and improved ecosystem services which provide numerous benefits, especially to nearby communities.
Any potential adverse environmental impacts would not be large-scale and can be avoided or minimized through mitigation measures.
Potential social impacts are anticipated, primarily associated with the changes in use of forest areas as a result of the project activities, impacting access to cultivation sites. The effect of law enforcement may be resettlement of people from inside the forest boundaries.
Other potential social impacts that can be anticipated include reduced social cohesion and/or increased tension, due to perceptions of uneven treatment, in law enforcement and community development scenarios, as well as from increased human-wildlife encounters from recovering populations of tigers and elephants with communities proximal to the forest edge of the BBSNP.
For these impacts, it is feasible to implement mitigation measures which reflect IFC guidance and the implementing (consortium members) own policies, as well as good practices from other projects and regions. This includes mitigation approaches that are adaptive and respond to local context, given the diversity of socio-economic and cultural contexts and groups that may be affected by the project activities.

through alternative options and removes communities from potential conflict situations with BBSNP authority)
Secondary: Successful implementation leads to sustainable alternative community
livelihoods Perception of injustice regarding consistency of law enforcement and/or
inequitable community empowerment/unfulfilled expectations and jealousy may lead to tension or jealousy among communities
The preliminary identification of potential environmental and social impacts was carried out considering the environmental and social components that are likely to be affected by the project activities. All IPZ sub-projects shall be carefully planned and designed in order to have sound design that avoids creating potential environmental and social impacts.
ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL IMPACTS MITIGATION MEASURES
Analysis of the potential environmental and social risks and impacts arising from the project highlights the importance of a multi-dimensional approach for risk mitigation, covering:
Management of direct environmental and social risk and impacts, with a focus on the key activities that may generate impacts: ranger patrols, law enforcement actions outside of the forest, ecosystem restoration (reforestation), controlled animal captures; awareness raising and community development (livelihood) activities;
Cross-cutting issues requiring attention: IPs and gender; and
Stakeholder engagement.
Table 5 presents a summary of the key environmental and social activities and an explanation of impact and risk mitigations; the mitigations are generally built in to project activities but, as described here, they include additional aspects or approaches that complement the planned activities, to provide extra attention as assurance that the anticipated aspect of risk is properly addressed.

Including elements specific to IPs in CCAs, project activity plans and monitoring processes, including reporting specifically on engagement with, and impacts on, IPs across key project activities (awareness raising, alternative economic activities and law enforcement).
4.1.1 Gender Mainstreaming The overall objective of mainstreaming gender within projects is to provide a signal that enables to assessment of gender-related changes in society, politics, and economic participation. Gender mainstreaming in projects includes the use of a participatory approach in all project stages. The initial step is to promote a basic understanding of gender mainstreaming to ensure that strategies and actions for ending discrimination at all levels and stages of the project cycle are enacted and take into consideration the needs for both genders, desires, and ambitions when decisions are made and resources are allocated.
In the mostly agrarian Lampung culture, woman typically become household or domestic workers who support their husband or family although, in reality, most of them collect, plant and maintain the farm fields. In Lampung, women typically work at nurturing the family while men work at tasks that are physically demanding.
The project is expected to have programs to support women and men. The components of these programs will be discussed and organized by the community project officer and the program beneficiaries. Woman in Pemerihan village have already established an organization that will seek opportunities to improve alternative incomes for women and their households. While in Bumi Hantatai village, the cocoa farming school involves many households and mostly engages the women in these households. In gender segregated public consultations, it has been observed that participants in the women’s group express many ideas and opinions about the program as the IPZ Project has created new livelihood opportunities.
In general, it is unusual for women to take active roles in project activities and consultation processes, although women in the BBSNP area are, in actuality, key participants, particularly as collectors of damar and other NTFPs, as well as workers in ecosystem restoration, coffee planting and maintenance, and collecting firewood for household energy needs. However, counter to this high participation in project activities, women do not actively participate in decision-making forums. This dynamic is partly attributable to cultural factors and religious beliefs which do not expect women to be outspoken, as well as their role in managing household affairs which often restricts their mobility and ability to participate. Despite this, the Project Partners’ prior experience in the area has successfully involved women in farmer field schools and enabled insights for more effective engagement with women during Project implementation.
DRAFT
Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park 24 Environmental and Social Management Framework
The Project endeavors to overcome some of these gender constraints by mainstreaming the following measures with a minimum participation rate of 30%:
a. Representation of women in FGDs, workshops, training and any task force;
b. Representation of women in village development activities, including as community mobilisers, beneficiaries and in community-based monitoring; and
c. Involvement of female community facilitators (possibly from civil society organizations [CSOs]) to facilitate gender balance in project activities and facilitate outreach and awareness raising on conservation education and sustainable livelihood activities. Where possible, the project will include special training on gender participation as part of community capacity building.
In addition, the Project Partners are committed to ensuring:
a. Separate sessions during consultations and community training for women if requested;
b. Attention to women’s participation in grievances or dispute resolution roles, including through local women networks if applicable; and,
c. Gender segregated data on participation in Project activities and outputs to be recorded so that disaggregated summaries gender participation in the Project can be collated and displayed.
4.1.2 Compliance and Core Labor Standards
Where different populations are inducted into the workforce by the partners (WCS, WWF and YABI), sub-contractors and other providers of goods and services, consideration must be given to compliance with local and national labour laws and relevant core labour standards.
With respect to labour and working conditions of women, there must be compliance with core labour standards which includes prohibition of any form of discrimination against women during hiring and providing equal work for equal pay for women and men.
Other workforce considerations as a result of the proposed sub-projects development which may have impact on human resources policies (i.e., working relationship, working conditions and terms of employment, workers’ organizations, non-discrimination and equal opportunity, retrenchment and grievance mechanism), protecting the workforce (i.e., child labour and forced labour), occupational health and safety, workers engaged by third parties, and supply chain are applicable in varying degrees due to differences in local context.
It is important to note that Indonesia has ratified a number of key international conventions labour and working conditions including the 1925 Equality of Treatment for National And Foreign Workers as Regards to Workmen’s Compensation for Accident, 1930 Forced Labour Convention, the 1947 convention on Labour inspection, the 1949 convention on The aplication on the principles of the right to organize to bargain collectively, the 1951 convention on equal remuneration for men and women wokrers for wokrk of equal value, and the 1973 convention on minimun age for admission to employment.
Potential impacts due to an influx of workers to the sub-project sites is likely to be minimal, as is a large urban area with significant pool of skilled, semi-skilled and unskilled labor to draw on. Nonetheless, contractors should have in-place robust mechanisms related to worker codes of conduct, as well as a grievance redress mechanism for residents to register grievances about worker conduct.

4.1.3 Land Acquisition and Resettlement The Land Acquisition and Resettlement in ESMF is one of IFC PS triggered because people are cultivating land inside the BBSNP and the community members are aware the GoI regulations stipulate this is illegal and punishable by law.
Activity 3 of the IPZ Project - land use pressure on the IPZ is diminished through improved land use management and community development – is applicable to this aspect of the ESMF and activities already implemented by the Project Partners include:
In July 2017, WWF conducted training on ecotourism to engage community members who are encroaching into the national park and to provide alternative incomes. WWF chose ecotourism as an important pillar for reaching this goal.
In September 2017 and December 2017, two trainings were conducted by WWF and the Park Officer forecoguides and program managers on an newly established ecotourism forum;
In Kubu Perahu village, WWF conducted a feasibility study for a stonecraft program together with a master craftsman who will also train the people on handicraft and further help with marketing of the products outside the village;
In 2010, 80 families from Pemerihan village agreed to leave the national park area freeing up approximately 400 ha. In the same year, WWF started rehabilitation of this area together with the former community member enchroaching in the national park. Until 2017, WWF was collaborating with communities to restore more degraded, encroached areas; and
From July 2017 to December 2017, WWF restored 65 ha of degraded land consisting of 25 ha in the Ngambur resort, 25 ha in Pemerihan village and 20 ha in the Biha resort. Sixty-five peoples from the villages participated in these activities. The areas have been ready for revegetation.
There is a certainty that the IPZ Program activities may restrict the access of forest dependent communities in nature reserves and/or other protected areas as a result of formalizing forest boundaries and zones within Forest Management Units (FMU). The project will result in direct involuntary resettlement and/or livelihoods displacement. There is also a risk that the IPZ program may exacerbate and affect existing disputes over land rights if no sufficient community participation and dispute mediation is in place during the program implementation. The KfW BBS project will seek to establish participatory approaches in forest boundary demarcation and tenure settlements.
It was still doesn’t know if the GoI is committed to providing support through TNBBS to create alternative livelihoods such as social forestry schemes and forest-partnership (Kemitraan) with forest-dependent communities within and surrounding FMU areas.
Increased land and forest tenurial conflicts have been and will continue to be a major concern for the success of the IPZ. Such conflicts often involve Adat communities (IP) who have claims before establishment of Forest Areas (Kawasan Hutan) and issuance of forest concessions. Since 2012, Indonesia has mobilized significant efforts to identify existing tenurial conflict and other land-use and forestry related conflicts, as well as develop relevant policies and regulatory frameworks. The IPZ will take into account an indicative tenurial conflict map that the GoI has developed, with an inventory of 201 conflicts, mostly in Sumatera (60.7%) and Kalimantan (16.4%). Such identification is currently on-going to further identify tenurial conflicts in forest areas through a joint assessment between the Government and
DRAFT
Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park 26 Environmental and Social Management Framework
communities, including Adat (IP) communities and identify ways forward to settle conflicts through consensus.
The ESMF developed under the IPZ has incorporated a Process Framework (PF) to mitigate potential resettlement and access restriction risks resulting from forest tenure settlements and boundary demarcation supported by the IPZ. The PF has been developed in conjunction with the current GoI frameworks on forest tenure settlements, and will seek to address any gaps, particularly with regards to free, prior, and informed consultations with affected parties, compensation and livelihoods restoration.
The progress of the project has already built in activities working with communities to develop alternative livelihood options, supporting processes of participatory planning, providing technical assistance for new crops, commodity supply chains and alternative income generation (for example through ecotourism). Social forestry program options are also part of the project design
Project are working with village communities and local government, (MoEF, local forestry department), to identify and assisting resettlement of encroachers in forest areas. The Project provides support for the development and function of PPTHK teams (Penyelesaian Penguasaan Tanah di Kawasan Hutan or Resolution of land uses in forest areas) and for the development of provincial and local procedures or guidelines on the handling of the cases in the project area.
This may include:
1. Establishing a task force and methods to evaluate HTR (in BBSNP buffer zone);
2. Facilitating partnership approaches;
3. Facilitating licenses for Community Plantation Forest Utilization (IUP HTR)2 and for Community Forest Utilization (IUP HKm)3, including Customary Forest uses;
4. Providing long term, qualified facilitators and access to support (resource persons) that can assist with effective local communication strategies and provide mediation services and advice when needed; and
5. Facilitating community access to support to understand and exercise options under the government’s social forestry regulations and program. This program has been increasingly regarded as a potential alternative to improve community access rights to the forest areas and at the same time, retain and/or return the allocated forest areas into their original functions.
4.1.4 Process Framework A Process Framework (PF) is required as part of the KfW BBS project as there is the potential to restrict access to natural resources as a result of anticipated investments in land use planning, including activities supporting the preparation of land use plans for Community Protected Area (CPAs), and Community Forests (CFs). The purpose of the PF is to establish a process of informed and meaningful consultations and negotiations with members of potentially affected communities. The PF defines the procedures to 2 Community forest plantations (Hutan Tanaman Rakyat - HTR) are state forests that are managed by individuals or cooperatives
to increase quality and potency of forest products (timber and NTFPs). HTRs have a maximum area of about 15 hectares for each license holder or 700 hectares for cooperatives. Individual license holders can form community groups to request a single license; doing so can be faster. The target location for HTRs is in production forests.
3 Forestry partnership (Kemitraan Kehutanan - Kemitraan) are state forest lands managed by community groups or cooperatives to give access and direct benefit to local communities through capacity strengthening in cooperation with concession holders and forest management units (FMUs).4 Target locations for Kemitraan are areas under concession in production forest and in specific area
DRAFT
Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park 27 Environmental and Social Management Framework
allow project affected persons (PAPs) to participate in the determination of measures necessary to mitigate or minimize the impacts of restricted resource access.
The PF is prepared to comply with the IFC PS5 on Land Acquisition and Involuntary Resettlement and the GoI laws and regulations. The PF provides guidance for the development of action plans during project implementation that:
Describe the proposed access restrictions to natural resources in protected areas;
Identify and quantify the impacts that those restrictions may have on different segments of the local communities;
Propose, implement and monitor remedial measures to compensate for the loss of those assets and the income associated with them; and
Provide grievance redress mechanisms in order to resolve any issues that may arise due to restrictions of access to resources over the course of the project.
The PF ensures that the views of people whom are likely benefiting from, or negatively affected by the project, especially vulnerable people such as ethnic minorities and women, are included in the planning process. Targeted activities will ensure that all PAPs participate in the process and receive adequate compensation and assistance. The process framework is presented in Appendix A3.
4.1.5 Indigenous Peoples There are two studies to learn about the indigenous people in BBSNP: “Masyarakat Adat (Indigenous People) around BBSNP study” and the social economic studies for villages around BBSNP. Both of the documents also supported by the Minutes of Meeting with three IP communities: Laay, Uru Krui, and Ngambur. All of these IPs have their own distinct language, self-identify, hold customary cultural beliefs, economic social and political institution, and maintain a collective attachment to the natural resource in the IPZ. The IPs that are affected by the project activities are a heterogeneous group, with a history of intermarriage, outward migration, and have a defined cultural identity. As such, the Pesisir or Peminggir IPs are anticipated to be affected by the project activities and these IPs are comprised of 10 clans based on project consultations.
BBSNP together with WWF, WCS, and YABI conducted an ethnography study in October 2018 and November 2018. The purpose of this study was to provide a comprehensive picture of the culture of Saibatin Lampung, an indigenous group living around the IPZ area. FGDs were held in each clan:
The Ulu krui clan on 2 October 2018 involving 15 representatives of traditional leaders;
The Laay clan on 3 October 2018 involving 15 traditional leaders; and
The Ngambur clan on 4 October 2018 involving 15 traditional leaders.
The topics discussed in the FGDs included:
Social systems related to marriage, inheritance systems, relations with the community and customary institutions; and
Cultural arts which consist which can serve as a medium for conveying messages concerning development or environmental preservation.
DRAFT
Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park 28 Environmental and Social Management Framework
Tradition, management of natural resources IFC PS 7 requires IFC clients to identify adverse impacts on indigenous communities and develop action plans to conduct informed consultation and participation of affected indigenous communities. In addition, companies are expected to seek the FPIC of communities when:
The Project will impact the lands and natural resources subject to traditional ownership or under customary use;
The Project will require relocation of communities; or
The Project will significantly impact critical cultural heritage of IPs.
The IFC requires FPIC to be established though a good faith negotiation with the indigenous communities. In addition, the Project should document that there is a mutually accepted process for obtaining consent, and should ensure that there is evidence that the parties agree on the outcome of the negotiations. The Project Partners are currently addressing their approach to consultations to ensure compliance with FPIC principles such that consultations are robust and meaningful..
The project will undertake a process of free, prior, and informed consultations (FPIC) with the affected indigenous communities. These consultations will be conducted to collect data (eg. household economic displacement data as a result of project activities), to share mitigation measures with the community members, to hear and gather their views about the KfW BBS project, to seek community support to the project, and to develop necessary measures to protect IP rights and address their concerns to the future.
4.1.6 Minor Temporary Impacts A minor temporary impact is characterized as a temporary loss of assets or livelihoods following the implementation of project.
In the patrol guard activities, patrol data may be misused for destructive activities such as encroachment, poaching, and logging. The activities can also have secondary (minor) impact if law enforcement is unfair and inequitable and leads to social jealousy which could trigger conflicts among communities, and between communities and officers.
Removal of invasive species and reforestation activities are considered positive impacts with minor potential risks if not implemented wisely. For example, removal of certain tree species may not support objectives of developing feed stock for critical species or their prey. There is also the risk of increased conflicts between people and wildlife resulting in damage in livestock and/or risk of injury or death to people and problem wildlife as well as the loss of forest- or agriculture-based livelihoods. Pest mammal species such as wild boar could also increase due to project activities.
The support for land use changes is expected to have a positive impact on forest conditions with an emphasis on re-establishing critical habitat. There are potential negative social impacts such as community discord or tension related to law enforcement, perception of equality in opportunities (for community development), and variable access to participation by marginal groups including women and indigenous peoples (conversely expressed as elite domination at the village level).
Potential negative impacts of eco-tourism development are also flagged for consideration due to changes in livelihood options including increased eco-tourism and other diversified livelihood strategies. Successful implementation could lead to sustainable alternative community livelihoods although perception of
DRAFT
Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park 29 Environmental and Social Management Framework
injustice regarding consistency of law enforcement and/or inequitable community empowerment/unfulfilled expectations and jealousy may lead to tension or jealousy among community members.
5.0 ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK
The purpose of the ESMF is to manage potential adverse impacts by establishing a guidance document which will inform the project partners and the BBSNP management authority to administer mutually agreed sets of environmental and social safeguards procedures and measures. The ESMF will facilitate necessary environmental and social management (including risk management of environmental and social impacts) procedures and measures of proposed sub-project(s) which may be financed by the IPZ project. The ESMF comprises the guidance document required for the ESMP or a limited scope Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA)4 if the scale of potential impacts is complex and other planning instruments (PF) to be applied at project appraisal and formulation when project design details become available. The ESMF is a guidance and decision-support tool for the BBSNP management authority, stakeholders and different populations and has been prepared through consultations including FGDs in Bumi Hantatai, Penengahan, Suka Banjar, and Pemerihan villages. The ESMF and PF will be publicly disclosed to local communities and the general public.
As an overarching guideline document, the ESMF provides assurances that:
The project will consider potential environmental and social issues, especially for different populations who would be directly impacted (positively or adversely) by the KfW BBS project;
The project will consider socio-cultural and gender sensitivities and environmental values prevailing in areas where the proposed KfW BBS project would be implemented;
During project formulation and design, adverse environmental and social impacts may arise during project implementation and appropriate mitigation or enhancement measures need to be designed with a monitoring plan developed to track implementation of site-specific safeguards instruments;
Environmental and social management safeguard instruments such as ESMP or ECoP, and IPPF are suitably prepared and followed; and
Safeguard instruments are compliant with the IFC safeguard policies and procedures as well as national legislation.
This section of the ESMF describes the process for ensuring that environmental and social concerns are adequately addressed through screening, institutional arrangements and procedures used by the project for managing the identification, preparation, approval and implementation of sub-projects.
SCREENING AND APPROVAL Environmental and social screening is designed to identify and document potential adverse impacts arising from proposed sub-projects. Environmental and social screening informs decision-makers about the need to implement measures or actions [if any] which avoid, minimize, mitigate or compensate for adverse impacts. Sub-projects are categorized according to the screening procedure depending on the

scope ESIA could be equivalent to an UKL-UPL in the national legal framework.
DRAFT
Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park 30 Environmental and Social Management Framework
type, location, sensitivity and scale of the project and the nature and magnitude of its potential environmental and social impact. A sample of environmental and social safeguard screening form is in Appendix A4. The screening and review process will be conducted by environmental and social safeguard specialists. While risks associated with various sub-projects may vary, all of them are expected to fall under Category B as any sub-project in Category A will be ineligible for funding. The screening and approval process is described in Figure 1.
Screening and categorization of sub‐projects are based on potential environmental and social impacts: According to the KfW Sustainability Guideline, the initial screening process will classify the projects according to their potential environmental and social adverse impacts into either Category A, Category B+, Category B, or Category C according to the following definitions:
i. Category A projects: Diverse, significant adverse risks and impacts on human populations and/or the environment and that can’t be managed through standard solutions and state of the art technology. Category A projects need to undergo a full ESIA process per the KfW Sustainability Guideline and are not supported under this KfW BBS project.
ii. Category B projects: Potential limited adverse environmental or social risks and/or impacts that are few in number, generally site‐specific, largely reversible, and readily managed through standard solutions and state of the art technology. Category B projects must implement mitigation measures as foreseen in the site‐specific ESMP.
iii. Category B+ projects: Substantial impacts and risks that occur in single areas and show a higher risk than Category B projects but not as diverse and unprecedented as for Category A projects. Category B+ projects should as a minimum undergo an “Rapid Environmental and Social Assessment” (Rapid ESA) for the identified risks and areas/topics of concern and address those through a fit‐for‐purpose site‐specific ESMP tailored to the identified impacts and receptors. For some Category B+ projects full‐fledged ESIA and ESMP can be required, especially if demanded by national law.
iv. Category C projects: Minimal or negligible adverse risks or impacts on human populations and/or the environment. Category C projects must implement mitigation measures as foreseen in the ESMP or ECoP.
The BBSNP management authority completes the initial screening with the project partners who are responsible for proposed sub-projects identification and screening and ensuring that adequate environmental and social safeguards performance instruments are implemented. Once proposed sub-project locations are identified, the BBSNP management authority will prepare proposed sub-project(s) descriptions, conduct site-specific environmental and social screening of proposed sub-project(s) (Appendix A5), and assess requirements for necessary environmental and social management measures and plans (i.e., ESMP/ECoP). At the implementation phase, national consultants could be contracted to support BBSNP management authority staff who are responsible for completing the screening safeguards forms.
A standard appraisal and mitigation matrix will be part of the specifications for the partners and will form the basis of regular monitoring. The ESMP matrix based on the sectors and consisting of schedule, and potential environmental and social impacts, if any, due to the project, mitigation measures, operation and supervision.

SCOPING ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL ISSUES As established in the EIA regulation, the environmental studies shall be preceded by a scoping exercise in order to identify the environmental and social components that shall be focused in the EIA, approaches and methodologies to be adopted and the Terms of Reference (TOR) to be followed. In the case of the Category A projects, an Environmental Prefeasibility and Scoping Study (EPSS) shall be submitted to local Environmental Agency and/or Ministry of Environmental and Forestry, including the TOR for the EIA, while for Category B projects, only the TOR shall be submitted for approval.
The structure of the EPSS is defined in the EIA Regulation/AMDAL Regulation refer to Indonesian Government Regulation No. 27/2012 Environmental Permit and Government Regulation No.16/2012 Guideline for Preparing Environmental documents, it includes a brief description of the project and the environmental and social conditions of the project area, identification of the potential impacts as well as any fatal flaw. The EPSS shall be submitted to a public participation process.
Based on the screening form and field appraisal (when required), the impacts are classified based on their risk category and a decision is made as to whether the sub-project will:
a. Require an EIA study and/or RAP, since the impacts qualify as being high-risk and significant and may result in land acquisition and/or involuntary resettlement;
b. Require only an EMP, since the impacts are not significant and can be easily addressed through the implementation of a mitigation and management plan during construction and operation of the sub-project; or
c. Not require any safeguard measures, as the impacts are considered minimal.
As mentioned, the screening process will identify the nature of potential impacts, both positive and negative (adverse), that the potential sub-project(s) could generate within its region of influence (ROI). This will inform the selection of safeguards instruments that would be required to assess the potential
DRAFT
Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park 32 Environmental and Social Management Framework
impacts in further detail. The choice of safeguards instrument or measure primarily depends on the degree of significance of anticipated environmental and social impacts as well as the associated environmental and social risks.
Scoping confirms the key environmental and social issues, risks and potential impacts identified during the screening process. The scoping stage can highlight potential issues at an early phase of sub-project development to allow planners and decision-makers to design changes which will mitigate potential environmental and social impacts and, possibly, the project location(s) to be modified.
APPLICATION OF SAFEGUARDS INSTRUMENTS, PLANS AND MEASURES
All sub-projects activities will require safeguards instruments such as limited scope ESIAs, ESMPs, and IPPFs within clearly delineated sub-project footprints. The details are described in the below sub-sections.
5.3.1 Environmental and Social Management Plan
5.3.1.1 Environmental and Social Management Plan Objectives
The objective of the ESMP is to respond to the environmental and social needs of the KfW BBS project in a simple, responsive and cost-effective manner that will not unnecessarily overload or impede the project cycle. The ESMP outlines the measures needed to address the issues identified in the ESIA. Moreover, the ESMP demonstrates proposed monitoring activities that encompass all major impacts and identify how they will be integrated into project supervision. General environmental management plans is presented in Appendix A6. The following activities to be carried out are outlined in the ESMP:
Main environmental and social mitigation measures;
Environmental and Social training and capacity program; and
Environmental and social monitoring.
The ESMP is also considered the base of the environmental and social audit of selected projects and an assessment of the potential impacts and mitigation measures. The ESMP is prepared based on the existing environmental and social situations and the auditing requirements and includes the following elements:
Site-specific environmental and social screening review and assessment of key environmental issues;
Identify linkages to other safeguard policies relating to the project;
Ensure adequate consultation during the assessment process;
Develop an Environmental and Social Monitoring Plan; and
Develop methodologies and procedures to be applied in context of the ESMP.
The ESMP is prepared in compliance with the Indonesia forestry and environmental laws, and IFC PS1, PS2, PS4, PS5, PS6 and PS7 and EHS Guidelines. The ESMP provides tools for the evaluation and management of the impacted environmental and social parameters and they are:
Natural Resource, Forests and Biodiversity Areas;
DRAFT
Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park 33 Environmental and Social Management Framework
Construction waste;
Accidental risks; and
Land use.
The risks and negative impacts of the proposed KfW BBS project can be minimized by addressing mitigation measures during the project operation phases. Appendix A7 presents matrices detailing representation of the environmental and social impacts. These environmental matrices show the expected impacts covered by the projects, sector wise, and list the mitigation measures proposed to be implemented during and after implementation of the sub-projects.
5.3.1.2 Environmental and Social Management Plan Implementation Arrangements
Implementation of environmental and social safeguards captured in the ESMP will be nested within the Project Coordination Unit (PCU), under the Joint Secretariat of project partners and the Forestry Department at the Balai level (Kota Agung/ BBSNP). This structure and its personnel report to a project Steering Committee, as shown in Figure 2. These will report to the Project coordinator and counterpart in the Balai (BBSNP head) through the PCU. Some key features of the project management arrangements are:
Project Steering Committee
The Project Steering Committee will include the BBSNP Head and Project Partner Leaders of WWF Germany and WWF Indonesia, WCS and YABI as well as local government representatives, who will be invited on a case-by-case basis. Local representatives from KfW will be invited as permanent observers. It will provide advice and input to project work plans and strategies, and assist with coordination over policy development and inputs from the project, as well as ensure coordination between the Project Partners at the landscape level. A key function of this committee will be to approve Project reports and to formally approve a single joint annual work plan and budget for the project that aligns with the BBSNP annual workplan. The Project Steering Committee meets annually and upon request.
BBS Joint Collaborative Management Secretariat (“BBS Joint Secretariat”)
The project will support the re-design and operation of the BBS Joint Collaborative Management Secretariat (Sekretariat Bersama Pengelolaan Kolaborasi; “BBS Joint Secretariat”), created on 18 February 2013 on the basis of a National Park Head’s decision letter (Surat Keputusan 18/BBTNBBS-2/2013). The secretariat’s primary purpose is to manage overall collaboration between multiple conservation NGOs and the National Park authority. The BBS Joint Secretariat, through the PCU, will ensure coordinated implementation of the work plans (including the ESMP implementation) and sharing of information, a common approach to law enforcement and community issues, coordinated planning, and optimal use of the available resources of all the members of the group. The secretariat consists of the Project Coordination Unit, the BBSNP Head and the project managers from the project partners. The secretariat is expected to meet quarterly to review information on threats and interventions, develop and revise work plans, and facilitate coordination between the project partners and other organizations working with the park. The BBS Joint Secretariat will be coordinated by the park, with the support of the Project Coordinator.
DRAFT
Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park 34 Environmental and Social Management Framework
Project Coordinator (with the support of the Project Coordination Unit)
The project coordinator will work full-time for the project and will play a central role for this project, including ultimate responsibility for overseeing ESMP implementation. His/her responsibilities are:
Project facilitation and liaison: coordinate the key personnel from the Project Coordination Unit, like the Project Finance and Administration Coordinator, coordinate with the project partners and BBSNP to develop joint annual project work plans, emphasizing a fully integrated approach; support project partners in communicating project progress to the Joint National Rhino Secretariat, Ministry of Environment and Forestry (Directorate-General of Natural Resource and Ecosystem Conservation ("DG KSDAE"), and the BBSNP Management Authority), local government; and, coordinate with other conservation and development projects being developed and/or implemented in the BBS landscape to ensure a complementary approach.
Project monitoring, reporting and planning and overall risk management of the project: in collaboration with the Project Coordination Unit and the implementing project partners and their respective project leaders to track and monitor project progress against Key Performance Indicators; facilitate quarterly BBSNP Joint Secretariat meetings; produce quarterly and annual technical and financial progress reports, based on project partners and BBSNP inputs; facilitate frequent and clear communication between project partners; and, support implementation of the project communication strategy.
Technical duties: organize and accompany donor, government and other interested party visits to the project site and accompany them in the field; and, monitor project-related grievances and handle these with Project Partners as needed.
Environmental and Social Management Plan Capacity Arrangements
Institutions involved in project planning, implementation and management including the ESMP mitigations are WWF, WCS, YABI, BBSNP and any parties contracted to them for project purposes. A general capacity assessment conducted for the ESMP focuses on their respective functions, roles and responsibilities with regard to ESMP (Table 6). It is important to note that the ESMP is something new to all parties, such that familiarity is only beginning to be established, and levels of understanding vary depending on individuals as well as organizations. The content of ESMP requirements is not entirely new, but some approaches and requirements will require time to become mainstreamed in the thinking and work processes used by each, as well as at the share project level.

5.3.2 Indigenous Peoples Plan If IPs are impacted by the KfW BBS project, an IPs safeguards planning instrument should be developed based on the IFC PS7. This safeguard policy requires that special measures be established to protect the interests of IPs who can be distinguished by:
Self-identification as members of a distinct ethnic cultural group and recognition of this identity by others;
Collective attachment to geographically distinct habitats or ancestral territories in the project area and to the natural resources in these habitats and territories;
Customary cultural, economic, social or political institutions that are separate from those of the dominant society and culture; and
Ethnic language, often different from the official language of the country or region.
There is a potential that a proposed sub-project will have moderate to significant impacts on an IP community if they are subject to involuntary resettlement. Indigenous peoples’ livelihoods and well-being are also under pressure in some areas because of in-migration by other people and allocation of concessions. If ethnic groups are identified in any of the proposed sub-project areas, IFC PS7 general principles will apply to ensure that:
Indigenous minority groups are afforded meaningful opportunities to participate in planning that affects them;
Opportunities to provide such groups with culturally appropriate benefits are considered; and
Any sub-project impacts that adversely affect them are avoided or otherwise minimized and mitigated.
The purpose of the IPPF is to ensure culturally appropriate consultation with indigenous peoples (i.e., ethnic groups) and participation in sub-project development. If based on free, prior and informed consultations where affected IPs conclude that the proposed sub-project will be beneficial to them then, measures and assistance will be developed in consultation with tribal elders, community based organizations (CBO) and independent CSOs/NGOs. The free, prior and informed consultation and planned activities will be documented in the IPPF. Assistance should include institutional strengthening and capacity building of community elders and CBOs working on specific activities (e.g., resettlement, if any) within the sub-project.
If IPs are adversely affected by a sub-project, either by land acquisition or by other induced negative impacts, the IPPF will have to address the impacts with various measures, activities and actions to mitigate adverse impacts. Acquisition of land and other assets would be governed by the RPF.
Implementation of the IPPF would be carried out by the community, assisted by appropriate staff from the BBSNP management authority and the project partners, where available and appropriate.
5.3.3 Abbreviated Resettlement Action Plan If less than 200 people are affected by the sub-project, the appropriate safeguards measure is an Abbreviated Resettlement Action Plan (ARAP) described more fully in the RPF. The ARAP or Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) is prepared during project implementation, when detailed designs are
DRAFT
Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park 37 Environmental and Social Management Framework
available and before project implementation. The ARAP would include: (i) brief description of the sub-project, location and its impacts; (ii) principles and objectives governing resettlement preparation and implementation; (iii) legal framework; (iv) baseline information of PAP and PAH; (v) category of PAP and PAH by degree and type of impacts; (vi) entitlement to compensation, allowances and rehabilitation assistance by category of impacts in a compensation matrix; (vii) information on relocation site together with socio-economic conditions on the PAP and PAH and host communities; (viii) institutional arrangement for planning and implementation; (ix) participatory procedures during planning and implementation; (x) grievance redress procedures; (xi) estimated cost of resettlement and yearly budget; (xii) time-bound action plan for implementation; and, (xiii) internal and external monitoring and reporting procedures, including a terms of reference for external monitoring and evaluation.
6.0 CONSULTATION AND INFORMATION DISCLOSURE The sub-projects support a participatory and consultative approach involving meaningful engagement with different populations (i.e., ethnic minorities, vulnerable groups, women and female/male youth and children, men, the elderly and disabled, etc.), CSOs, CBOs and other relevant stakeholders. The approach was intended to enhance ownership and general understanding of different populations through public access to information for the ESMF and safeguard management instruments (i.e., PF as necessary), roles and responsibilities, and perceptions as a basis for improving coordination and achievement of the sub-project objectives. The participatory and consultative approach should ensure effective communication and coordination with all stakeholders and different populations at national and sub-national levels (Appendix A8).
The Statement of Principles on IPs and Conservation at the WWF recognizes the right of IPs to FPIC for projects affecting their customary lands and resources. The WWF will not promote or support, and might actively oppose, interventions affecting indigenous lands and resources that had not yet received adequate and meaningful consultations.
The following guiding principles for FPIC must be include in the decision-making process:
a. Consultations must be free from coercion, intimidation or manipulation;
b. Before the allocation of land for certain uses or approval of certain projects. Lead time (the time between the initial project idea and the time it starts to be implemented) must reflect respect for the time requirements of the customary consultation / consensus process.
c. Complete information must be provided on the nature and scope of the proposed project or activity; area to be affected; potential economic, social, cultural and environmental risks and benefits; and the proposed project time frame and the organizations / actors that might be involved.
Information must be in a language that is easily understood by the people affected, delivered in a culturally appropriate manner, and available from independent sources. Communities may also need capacity building on lesser known issues in order to understand the information.
d. Consent requires time and an effective system for communicating among all members of the affected community and making decisions through customary decision-making processes or other processes defined by the community.
Agreement requires that affected people are able to say “yes” or “no” at each stage of the project. Approval must be given or not given by the community; no individual or representative can make
DRAFT
Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park 38 Environmental and Social Management Framework
that decision. The agreement must be fair and must be part of an ongoing process of communication and negotiation, not only a one-time action.
Key elements of the procedure FPIC includes:
1. Identifying land holders and customary rights.
Land claims based on customary rights are often not formally recognized by law, fulfilling this element may require support for a participatory community mapping process to document community recognized rights to forests. Mapping must include various groups in the community (which may have differences in knowledge, interests and use of resources) as well as the surrounding community (to validate and agree on boundaries).
2. Identifying and involving appropriate decision-making institutions / authorities in the community.
Communities must be represented by institutions of their own choosing through verifiable processes, which may differ from institutions formed based on government structures. If external facilitation is provided for the approval process, this facilitation must be provided by a neutral body (without personal interest in the results) and specifically in agreement with the community.
3. Identify and involve supporting organizations.
Involve supporting organizations - such as regional or national representative organizations of indigenous peoples and / or experts or advocacy groups on customary / community rights. Supporting organizations can work with communities to promote a policy framework that allows for their local activities, if they don't already exist or need to be strengthened.
4. Build mutual understanding and agreement on FPIC processes that are appropriate to the local situation.
This element addresses that external part understand the decision-making process by the local community and that the community determines their own processes and expectations about information and support from outside groups.
5. Provide information.
General guidelines on how information should be provided include that it must be:
Open and transparent;
In languages and forms that are appropriate to the local situation; and
Delivered at the right time and in a culturally appropriate way.
General guidelines regarding what information should be provided include:
Balanced treatment of the potential positive and negative impacts of an initiative;
Assessment of costs and benefits, and their distribution;
Alternatives and results from various scenarios; and
Information about community legal rights and legal implications of the proposed project (eg implications for land / resource rights, status of carbon rights).
DRAFT
Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park 39 Environmental and Social Management Framework
6. Negotiate and support decision making.
Negotiations consist of a two-way dialogue between the community and advocates or project facilitators (e.g. government, private sector, NGOs) regarding proposals, interests and issues.
7. Document agreement based agreements.
One difference between the FPIC process and the more general consultation is that certain agreements must be documented in a mutually agreed form between all parties.
8. Support and monitor implementation of agreements.
Implementing community agreement agreements may require ongoing technical support or capacity building. Monitoring the implementation of the agreement allows the parties to hold each other accountable for agreed outcomes and adaptively manages if the actual results may differ from projections (eg community costs or benefits). Right-holding communities must be substantively involved in all stages of designing and implementing monitoring agreement agreements, not just collecting paid data.
9. Establish and operationalize conflict resolution mechanisms.
The conflict resolution mechanism provides a process for resolving differences that might arise in the implementation of the agreement. Defining in advance how differences will be communicated and resolved helps to ensure that differences do not grow into broader conflicts that frustrate agreements and projects.
10. Verifying approval.
Verification by third parties that community consent is free, preliminary and based on information guard against manipulation of the FPIC process. The verification process also allows supporters and facilitators to show that they have respected this right in relation to certain initiatives.
The KfW BBS project was first discussed with WCS and the consultant team on 14 August 2019 and again on 17 September 2019 during the kick-off meeting at the WCS office in Bogor, West Java, Indonesia. Subsequently, initial consultations to inform the draft ESMF and PF were held in Lampung Province during the week of 30 September to 04 October 2019 and described more fully in Appendices A9 Key Stakeholder, A10 List of Consulted Stakeholder, A11 Stakeholder Consultation Objectives, A12 Stakeholder Consultation Responses-FGD and A13 Stakeholder Consultation Responses-Interview. Stakeholders and different populations were provided information on project objectives, sub-project descriptions and component initiatives, potential impacts (both positive and adverse effects). A second public consultation meeting is planned for November 2019 to discuss the proposed sub-projects, issues and concerns, the draft final ESMF and PF documents, and related measures. These draft documents will be translated into Bahasa Indonesia and distributed to national, sub-national and local governments, key stakeholders and civil society organizations, and different populations prior to the second public consultation meeting. Initial results suggest that most of the stakeholders and different populations support the proposed sub-project initiatives and/or activities. As sub-projects are formulated, additional consultations will be held with local authorities and different populations who are likely to be directly or indirectly affected from the proposed sub-project(s). Written records of the consultations are appended in Appendices A14 Questionnaire and A15 Sign Up Sheet.

7.0 GRIEVANCE REDRESS MECHANISM The Project’s Grievance Redress Mechanisms (GRM) comprises of four-tier system, i.e. village, district/city, provincial and national level. Basically, the GRM of KfW BBS Program will use existing mechanisms that have been applied in each institutional authority (OPD). Therefore, the stages and the time period for handling grievances will depend on the existing mechanism. The institutional authority in every level is responsible to handle the grievance and conflict resolution.
The grievance process will be divided into three categories: 1) grievances related to land and territorial issues, 2) grievances related to the human-wildlife conflict, and 3) others including those related to the program. Therefore, at the national level the submission of grievances can be through a website that has been available and managed by Director General of Law Enforcement (DGLE), Director General of Social Forestry and Environment Partnership (DGSFEP), and Information Management and Documentation Officer (PPID). The PPID has mandated by the ministry will be responsible for handling grievances at the national level.
All grievances that transferred to the district, provincial and national levels will be documented through the PPID System managed by the PPID. The grievance handling and reporting is coordinated by the Regional Secretary (SEKDA) at each level. In terms of recording, monitoring and reporting, SEKDA will be assisted by Dedicated Functions that are recruited from the KfW BBS Project.
Aggrieved Project Affected People (PAPs) and Project Affected Households (PAHs) can submit their grievance directly to the authorized institution (OPD) at each level or facilitated by the assigned person employed by the Project Partners. That person will ensure the grievance will be delivered to the appropriate institution to handle.
Grievance mechanism needs to be shared with and explained to the local communities including IPs and Adat Community, Regional Organizations (or Organisasi Perangkat Daerah/OPD).
PROCESS AND GRIEVANCE MECHANISM This process and grievance mechanism will includes: a) receive and record grievance; b) screen and categorize grievances; c) acknowledge receipt and its follow up action; d) refer to the relevant ministries, for non KfW BBS grievances, e) investigate, for KfW grievances, which includes field visit for verifying and validating grievances; f) act/follow up and g) conclude described in Figure 1.
A grievance is the submission of information verbally or in writing from an aggrieved PAP or PAH to the agency in charge, regarding the alleged occurrence of violations, potential and/or impacts in the field of environment and/or forestry from the business and/or activities at the planning, implementation and/or post implementation.
The time period for resolving grievances is dependent on the mechanisms available at each relevant institution. In principle, the grievance resolution is obligate follow the key principles that are mention in Appendix A16.
The aggrieved could be individuals, groups of people, legal entities, or government agencies that complain of alleged environmental and social impact from the implementation project.

Grievances can be submitted to the authorized institution (OPD) or to a dedicated function. The authorities receiving the grievance from stakeholder at each level voluntarily with regard to several key principle that has been mentioned above (Appendix A16 Grievance Redress Mechanism Principle and Institutional Arrangement). Grievances submitted through a dedicated function will be forwarded to the institutional authority (OPD). Dedicated functions also have a responsibility to assist, assist and monitor grievance reported to the authorities.
7.1.1.2 Grievance Records
The grievance will be recorded in the grievance list within a set time after being received. A recording officer will be assigned to receive any grievance and may delegate the responsibility to the other staff, but eventually will be responsible for:
Managing the grievance process to ensure the prescribed steps are followed;
Investigate the grievance;
Consult with division or related parties within the organization;
Ensuring problem-solving action;
Track the progress of individual grievances;
Collate and provide feedback to the person who registered the grievance;
Document resolution actions; and
Obtain the necessary approval from, and/or report to management.
Although no response is required for anonymous grievances, these will be recorded and reported with other grievances to facilitate continuous improvement.
7.1.2 Grievance Screening and Categorization All grievances will be screened based on the category of the grievance and the management approach will also determine which level of government is involved from the outset (Table 7).
Table 7 Categories of grievance screening.
Categories Issue/Grievance
Land and territory issues Covers all issues related to land and administrative areas of the boundary.
Human-wildlife conflict Covers all issues related to human-wildlife conflicts at district/provincial level.
Other Grievances Covers all other issues that are happen during the project implementation.
7.1.3 Acknowledgement Receipt and Transparency The aggrieved PAP or PAH will receive a receipt with an incident number upon submission of a grievance. In addition to getting a receipt for the grievance, the grievance processing process will be explained to the aggrieved PAP or PAH.
DRAFT
Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park 43 Environmental and Social Management Framework
7.1.4 Referral to Relevant Authorities All grievances will be addressed initially at the local level and resolution will be sought through the village and sub-district levels. Unresolved grievances will be screened by a PMU personnel who is proficient with GoI regulations and transferred to the appropriate authority either at the central government level or district government level based on the categories in Table 7.
7.1.5 Investigation The authorized grievance officer will lead a grievance inquiry, if needed, including collecting relevant documents, conducting field visits, consulting appropriate internal staff, contacting external stakeholders, and other activities. The investigative findings will be used to document the decision-making process and inform the proposed improvement.
7.1.6 Follow up Grievances that have been investigated will be followed up by the authorized team in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations in Indonesia and refer to the IFC EHS Guidelines.
The PMU should assign a suitable specialist to be able to provide grievance progress status to any aggrieved PAP or PAH when needed.
7.1.7 Grievance Resolution The grievance resolution process is based on existing mechanism under GoI regulation that applies in the authorized institution and considers existing the local grievance mechanisms such as musyawarah,
customary council meeting, etc. regarding the social and tenurial conflict that might occur as impact of the KfW BBS Project.
If the aggrieved PAP or PAH accepts the proposed resolution, the agreed action is taken. The grievance officer is responsible for actioning the resolution and setting the deadline for implementing the resolution. This is recorded in the grievance record with supporting documentation.
After a successful resolution, the grievance will be officially closed. This process involves having the aggrieved PAP or PAH sign the settlement form to document the satisfaction with the resolution action, documenting the action taken, and closing in the grievance registry.

8.0 MONITORING AND REPORTING Environmental and social monitoring will be an integral part of the WCS, WWF and YABI team and National Park supervisory work over the course of project implementation. The Project Staff (WCS, WWF and YABI) team and the National Park Environmental and Social (E&S) Officer will be responsible to ensure that contractors are familiar with the ESMF and instruct their personnel on the compliance with the ESMF and the ESMP. The PMU will assign a sub-project5 coordinator E&S safeguard specialist who will conduct regular on-site monitoring of civil works to verify contractors’ adherence to the requirements set out in the ESMP. Figure 2 depicts the IPZ Project implementation stages, monitoring and reporting.
Monthly, quarterly- and semi-annual monitoring reports will be undertaken as per specific activities in order to:
Improve environmental and social management practices;
Ensure the efficiency and quality of the environmental and social assessment processes;
Establish evidence- and results-based environmental and social assessment for the sub-projects; and
Provide an opportunity to report the results of safeguards, impacts and proposed mitigation measures’ implementation.
Monitoring will focus on three key areas, including:
(i) Compliance Monitoring: to verify that the required mitigation measures are considered and implemented. During the sub-project preparation phase, compliance monitoring activities will focus on ensuring effective ESMF implementation and respect of procedures. During the implementation phase, compliance monitoring would include inspections during construction of the Component 1 and 2 sub-projects4.
(ii) Impacts Monitoring: during implementation, monitoring of sub-project4 initiatives and/or activities’ impact mitigation measures should be the duty of the sub-project coordinators and the PMU. It is expected that the ESMP will be included in the contract to oblige the contractor to the ESMP compliance. PMU will monitor to ensure that works are proceeding in accordance with the agreed mitigation measures in the ESMP/ESMF.
Monitoring and evaluation of the social impacts will measure the following:
Impacts on affected individuals, different populations, households and communities to be maintained at their pre-project standard of living, or better;
Gender differentiated impacts to be avoided, minimized or addressed; and
Management of disputes or conflicts.
(iii) Cumulative Impacts Monitoring: impacts of the sub-project initiatives and/or activities on the environmental and social resources for the communities surrounding the BBSNP will also be monitored in consideration of other developments which might be established.
Table 10 provides a preliminary ESMP monitoring checklist that can be refined during implementation.

9.0 ESMF IMPLEMENTATION INSTITUTIONAL ARRANGEMENTS FOR PROJECT
IMPLEMENTATION The MoEF through its local office is the principal implementing institution responsible for the policy development and monitoring regarding biodiversity conservation and environmental awareness building and serves as the focal point for various internal funds. The MoEF is also responsible to ensure that the national policy and legislation on environmental safeguards are implemented.
The KfW BBS Project Management Unit at the BBSNP will be responsible for leading the implementation of the IPZ Program (Figure 3). Of note, the BBSNP team does not have an Environmental and Social Unit. In case this unit is established, it shall be involved in the implementation of the ESMF and included in the capacity building initiatives.
The main responsibilities of the IPZ team or Project Partners will include: i) ensuring proper fiduciary management (financial management and procurement); ii) overseeing the preparation and implementation of annual operating plans; iii) managing the project monitoring system (collecting and processing data and reporting, including through annual reports); v) ensuring compliance with the project legal agreements (including subsidiary agreements); vi) ensuring IFC PS compliance; and vii) providing strategic communication for the Project.
A subsidiary agreement will be signed between the Project Partners to outline financial and procurement arrangements for proper implementation of KfW BBS sub-projects as well as monitoring and reporting responsibilities and to standardize criteria for environmental and social screening process for KfW BBS sub-projects.
The BBSNP Officer, under the authority of the MoEF, is responsible to the management of Conservation Areas within the BBSNP.
A key objective of IPZ is to strengthen the capacity of National Park and BKSDA personnel, which would include strengthen the capacity in environmental and social management. The project coordinator will provide technical assistance to the KfW BBS Project during the screening of sub-projects, preparation of ToRs for EA studies, facilitation, coordination, review of EA studies and EMPs, monitoring and evaluation of all the sub-projects. Components 1 and 2 – renovation sub-projects in existing buildings – will comply with the environmental and social safeguards under the IFC EHS Guidelines.

Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park 49 Environmental and Social Management Framework
Figure 3 Institutional arrangement for ESMF implementation.
CAPACITY BUILDING The lack of application of environmental and social safeguards instruments may not be due to education levels – a capacity assessment was not conducted to assess this aspect - however PMU staff have had limited exposure to donor-funded projects that included the application of environmental and social instruments. To address this lack of experience, the project will allocate a traning to the project staff budget (see Section 9.3) for environmental and social safeguard. The Project staff training participants will provide hands-on mentoring and ensure environmental and social safeguards instruments (ESMF and PF) are properly monitored and reported during Project implementation.
It is imperative that institutional and capacity development are provided for environmental and social safeguards guidelines, safeguards frameworks, capacity building trainings, coordination between different organizations, awareness-raising campaign(s), and other measures for ensuring the knowledge gaps are addressed as expeditiously as possible for development of sub-projects. A capacity building training program should be implemented based on two themes:
DRAFT
Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park 50 Environmental and Social Management Framework
a. Basic Training on Environmental and Social Awareness. This would be mandatory training for sub-project coordinator personnel and stakeholders including local government, BBSNP personnel and select communities. Training material and content will vary with topics to address key project issues related to IPZ, forest and surrounding land use, law and its enforcement, and grievance handling. The role of stakeholders, special approaches to ensure inclusion (awareness of gender and IP issues), and knowledge and a fundamental understanding of the potential environmental and social impacts should be included.
b. Technical Training. Technical Training consists of various thematic materials. The participants for the technical training would be local land office personnel, representatives from various line agencies from the project target areas, field teams, civil society and consultants involved in the Technical Assistance. Training materials can include a series of regular trainings planned by the PMU with BBSNP. Trainees will be provided with materials as determined by the project activity, i.e. FPIC procedures, for conducting community meetings and developing the Community Conservation Agreements, resettlement and livelihoods (with emphasis on processes for engaging IPs, current/desired land uses and practices; communication and facilitation techniques for key issues; on reforestation (species, techniques); on SMART patrol SOP, grievances redress mechanisms, project monitoring and reporting.
In addition to the training sessions for project personnel, thematic workshops should be implemented based on the needs assessment of the Project Partners regarding Project activities. Workshop participants can be from the consortium, local communities and all levels of government. Workshop themes may include the Project Partners’ community programs and discussion on common obstacles faced by BBNSP on topics including conservation measures and boundary delineation.
The PMU should assign staff responsible for periodically reviewing training program activities and for proposing future programs in a work plan. The training development will be planned and implemented with the LitBang (research and development), Training Department of Forestry Department/BBSNP, or other partners and consultants as needed. Possible training topics include:
Social and environmental issues linked to BBSNP and PMU. SMART patrol, law enforcement; reforestation; IP and gender awareness.
Indonesian governance framework and legal requirements as applicable to the IMZ and IPZ, resettlement and treatment of encroachers under evolving forestry regulations.
SOPs and/or other guidelines developed for key project activities. An example is an SOP for SMART patrol already under development.
Farmer field school sessions for targeted community groups.

Appendix A2 Baseline Condition of Lampung Province
Lampung Province has a total area of 35,288 square kilometers (km2) is located on the southeastern-
most area of Sumatera Island. The province includes the islands of Sebuku, Sebesi, Sertung, and
Rakata in the Sunda Strait. The provincial capital city of Bandar Lampung was created when the twin
cities of Tanjung Karang and Teluk Betung merged into one city. Lampung Province is bordered by the
South Sumatera and Bengkulu provinces in the north, the Sunda Strait in the south, Java Sea in the
east, and the Indonesia Ocean in the west. Geographically, Lampung Province is located at Longitude
(east-west) 1030 40’ E to 1050 50’ E and Latitude (north-south) 60 45’ S to 30 45’ S.
Administrative - Lampung Province consisted of 13 districts and two municipalities as of 2013.
According to Home Affairs Regulation No. 39/2015, the total land area of each district is: Lampung
Barat (2,142.8 km2), Tanggamus (3,020.6 km2), Lampung Selatan (700.3 km2), Lampung Timur
(5,325.0 km2), Lampung Tengah (3,802.7 km2), Lampung Utara (2,725.9 km2), Way Kanan (3,921.6

Climate and Biophysical - Lampung Province has a tropical climate characterized by dry and rainy
seasons. Humidity in Lampung Province ranges from 72% to 86% with average temperatures ranging
from 21oC to 34.1oC. Due to its tropical climate, the province averages 65% exposure to solar radiation
per year, while rainfall ranges from 34 millimeters (mm) to 397 mm per year. The southernmost portion
of the Barisan Mountains run the length of the province from the northwest to the southeast. This
mountain range includes the peaks of Mountain Batai (1,682 m), Mount Tebak (2,115). The highest
peak in the province is Mount Pesagi at 2,262 m and Mount Krakatau in the Sunda Strait is also located
in the province. The mountainous spine of the province is flanked by a narrow coastland on the
southwest and by rapidly descending highlands on the northeast. The eastern lowland area of the
province stretches from the mountain foothills to a belt of swamps in the eastern coastlands.Three
significant rivers – the Sekampung, Seputih, and Tulangbewang – descend the eastern slopes of the
mountains and drain into the Java Sea. Tropical lowland evergreen rainforests extend from the foothills
of the mountains to coastal swamps where mangrove and freshwater swamp forests are located.
Social – Lampung Province is a multi-ethnic province with three major ethnic groups: Javanese,
Lampungese and Sundanese; of which the Lampungese are the ethnicity native in the province.
Lampung Province population was estimated in 2018 at 8,370,485 consisting of 4,286,676 males and
4,083,809 females. This number increased from 7,608,405 people (3,916,622 males and 3,691,783
females) in 2010 by percentage of 1.16%.
Agriculture and Economics – Most of the population is engaged in agricultural activities. Key crop
outputs include rubber, tea, coffee, soybeans, sweet potatoes, corn, peanuts, copra and palm oil.
Wetland paddy production reached approximately 1.9 million tons during 2018 while chili production
reached 600,283 quintals. Fruit production is also a mainstay of agricultural activities in the province
with banana production reaching approximately 14,385.6 tons. In 2008, Lampung Province produced
approximately 190,340 tons of oil palm and 110,570 tons of coffee. The largest production region for oil
palm is Tulang Bawang District which yielded approximately 23.3% of the total provincial production.
The greatest yield of coffee beans comes from the Lampung Barat area which accounts for
approximately half (47.6%) of the provincial output. Due to the extensive coastline, deepsea fishing is
also an economic mainstay in the province while important industrial activities include wood carving,
food processing, cloth weaving, mat and basket making and the production of handmade paper.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
This Process Framework (PF) for the Intensive Protection Zone (IPZ) project was prepared with support
of the project partners consisting of the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS), World Wildlife Fund
(WWF) and Yayasan Badak Indonesia (YABI). Given that the IPZ project may potentially limit access
to natural resources in protected areas, the IFC Performance Standard 5 on Land Acquisition and
Involuntary Resettlement is triggered. The purpose of the PF is to establish a process by which
members of potentially affected communities can participate in the design of project components, the
determination of measures necessary to achieve resettlement policy objectives, and the implementation
and monitoring of relevant project activities.
1.1 PROJECT OBJECTIVES
The project development objective (PDO) is the “conservation of highly threatened tropical rainforest in
Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park (BBSNP) as priority habitat for critically endangered species and
carbon sink through innovative management concepts and sustainable land use management”.
1.2 PROJECT DESIGN AND COMPONENTS
The project design is based on a theory of change that involves reducing anthropogenic pressure on
priority areas in BBSNP, improving national park and conservation zone management including
the establishment of an Intensive Management Zone (IMZ), and thereby effectively protect the habitat
of endangered species (Sumatran rhinoceros, Sumatran tiger, and Sumatran elephant) is effectively
protected.
Reducing anthropogenic pressure on priority areas in the BBSNP requires collaboration with the
adjacent local communities to improve sustainable land use, and to change attitudes and behaviors
towards the endangered species (ex. hunting and poaching). Improving national park and conservation
zone management also requires cooperation with the park authority and other users and stakeholders,
with multi-facetted strategies, addressed in the five activity components (Table 1).

2.0 INDONESIA LEGAL FRAMEWORK
The Minister of Foresty through Regulation No: P.43/Menhut-II/2013 established the boundaries
arrangement of working permits for forest utilization, principles approval for forest management,
approval principles for forest area release and forest area management on forest areas management
with special objectives.
According to Article 1, Clause 5 of the Minister of Forestry Regulation No: P.43/Menhut-II/2013, Special
Purpose Forest Areas (KHDTK) including Conservation Forests, Protected Forests, or Production
Forests can be specifically designated by the Minister for reseacrch and development, education and
training, as well as for social, religious and cultural interest without changing the main function of the
relevant forest area.
Chapter III, Article 8 of the Presidential Regulation of the Republik Indonesia No. 88/2015 on the
Completion of Land Tenure in Forested Areas (PPTKH) details the types of settlement options for
ownership and utilization of land that has been stipulated as a forest area:
DRAFT
3
a. Remove the land from the forest area thorugh changes in forest boundaries;
b. Exchange of forest areas;
c. Provide access to forest management through social forestry programs; and
d. Resettlement.
This chapter of this regulation also stipulates the need to build an Acceleration Team for land tenure
settlement in forested areas and how to coordinate the organization members of the PPTKH. Article 14
Clause 2 details the steps that must be implemented in this process.
3.0 IDENTIFICATION AND EIGIBILITY OF DISPLACED PERSONS
3.1 DEFINING DISPLACED PERSONS
According to the World Bank’s Operational Policy (OP) 4.12, the term “displaced persons” is
synonymous with “project affected persons (PAP)” or “project affected communities (PAC)” and is not
limited to those subjected to physical displacement. However, project activities are not expected to
result in the physical relocation of persons or communities, and any potential, temporary or permanent
land acquisition would be covered by a Resettlement Planning Framework (RPF). In terms of this PF,
PAC refers to those persons who lose “access to legally designated parks and protected areas resulting
in adverse impacts on their livelihoods”. The project will need to assess PAC who would be eligible for
livelihood support based on the loss of access as a result of restrictions carried out under the project.
3.2 ELIGIBILITY
Individuals and communities that are the focus of this PF are those using natural resources in or from
designated community protected and forest areas. The PACs who depend on access to natural
resources in these protected areas and utilize resources for their livelihoods as per the World Bank’s
OP 4.12, suggests three criteria for eligibility:
(i) Those who have legal rights to land and/or natural resource use in protected areas
(including customary land, traditional and religious rights recognized under the laws and
regulations of the government of Indonesia [GoI]);
(ii) Those who do not have legal rights to land at the time the cut-off date begins but have
potential legal claim to such land or assets provided that such claims are recognized under
the laws and regulation of GoI or become recognized through process identified in the
resettlement plan; and
(iii) Those who have no recognizable legal right or claim to the land they are occupying.
The eligible PACs living within or in the vicinity of the protected forest areas will be identified through a
participatory process to determine the exact number and scope of impacts to be compensated by the
project. Special consideration and priority will be given to the vulnerable groups including the poor,
ethnic minority groups, landless, elderly and female-headed households. Non-local community
members accessing the areas for illegal purposes such as logging and/or wildlife hunting are not eligible
for project benefits.
DRAFT
4
All PACs must be consulted to identify project adverse impacts and, through a collaborative approach,
to establish the eligibility criteria for mitigation or/and compensation measures. The project will work
with PACs and co-managers, representative of local community organizations, local leaders to define
the eligibility criteria for project assistance and to define a cut-off date in a particular manner, once they
are identified. The project will ensure to provide culturally appropriate information for indigenous people
affected and ensure linkages to the project’s Indigenous Peoples Planning Framework (IPPF) and any
Indigenous Peoples Plans (IPPs). Any illegal encroachment, occupation or exploitation of the natural
resources of a protected area after a pre-established cut-off date will not be eligible for any type of
livelihood-related compensation or other assistance (consistent with the World Bank’s OP 4.12).
Additional eligibility criteria for occupants or neighbors of protected areas needing special consideration
related to livelihoods will be discussed with relevant stakeholders and will be part of a protected area
management plan.
3.3 ESTABLISHING CRITERIA FOR ELIGIBILITY
Although relatively minor negative impacts due to IPZ sub-components are expected, the project will
endeavor to assist PACs to improve their livelihoods or at least restore to pre-project levels where there
will be restrictions on forest resource use. Two types of PAPs have been identified:
1. Those who currently (illegally) encroach in the community protected areas and community
forested areas for the purpose of agricultural cultivation, and
2. Those who regularly (illegally) enter the CPAs and CF for the purpose of poaching and
collecting any other forest products.
The project participatory process will involve consultation with community representatives in areas
where people are negatively affected by project activities. The Village Development Plan (VDP) and
Co-management Plan (COP), will identify the numbers of PACs, the type of impact and their eligibility
to participate in alternative livelihoods activities or be compensated. Draft VDPs and COPs will be
discussed at public meetings with PACs so that informed decisions can be made about the options
available to them. Mitigating strategies will be based on the promotion of alternative livelihood initiatives,
capacity building of self-help organizations and community based defined productive activities.
3.4 CONSIDERATIONS FOR VULNERABLE GROUPS
The poor, indigenous people, elderly, and women in the local communities are likely to be particularly
vulnerable as they are often more heavily dependent on agriculture, forest product collection and have
less diversified income sources. To minimize effects on vulnerable groups, if impacts are not already
avoided, the project will firstly ensure these groups have access to project related information including
livelihoods assistance and secondly, alternative livelihood activities carried out in communities will
ensure the inclusion and participation of vulnerable groups. To ensure women participate in the project,
livelihoods support will be directed towards the affected household rather than just the affected person.
Women will be able to apply for alternative livelihood assistance that they lead and manage. Livelihood
activities under this PF will be linked to the project’s IPPF and/or IPP as appropriate.
3.5 PROJECT ACTIVITIES PHASES
The project, in a consultative manner, will conduct activities to define access restriction to illegal or/and
customary activities in the protected areas and will evaluate the impact on local livelihoods in
consultation with the affected people and relevant stakeholders. The project will strive to avoid, and if
DRAFT
5
not possible, minimize or mitigate impacts, such as phasing in mitigation measures. For example,
information based on spatial planning, mapped demarcation of protected areas and consultation, will
be provided to ensure communities are fully informed on the delimitation of forest management. The
project will ensure to initiate any access restrictions once the project alternative livelihoods are already
initiated. For instance, if agricultural land will become part of the forest management activity, the support
needed for the impacted households or individuals will be provided to ensure they can transition their
livelihoods and not be worse off as a result of the project. Thus compensation and livelihood restoration
measures will begin ahead of any potential project impacts.
4.0 LIVELIHOOD RESTORATION
The overall aim of the restoration and mitigation measures is to compensate for and diversify the
livelihoods of the persons affected by forest resources restriction. The project will support the
development of modalities that provide an alternative livelihood opportunity for PACs. The process of
developing these alternative livelihoods will be participatory and will be underlined by equity and
community driven decision-making. The aim will be to develop livelihood alternatives through a guided
process, with, for example, a plan to support the development of products and services through to
distribution. The process to achieve this will start with mobilizing affected community members to ensure
that they have the space and opportunity to consider the options available to them. Mitigation measures
to address the livelihoods of both indigenous and non-indigenous communities must support long-term
sustainable livelihood development. As mentioned, any impacts to indigenous peoples must also be in
line with the project’s IPPs.
4.1 COMMUNITY MOBILIZATION ENGAGEMENT
Community members facing access restriction will be supported to mobilize themselves to identify
viable livelihoods activities in a participatory manner. The approach will ensure equity in the process
and that all affected users including vulnerable groups, such as women, elderly and IPs, have the
opportunity to become involved in, and benefit from, alternative livelihoods assistance being provided
by the project. Once eligible people for assistance support due to resources restriction have been
identification in a participatory process, activities will continue as follows:
(i) PAC assessment that will assist the mapping of their resources and assets, identify and
diagnose constraints and impacts due to access restrictions from household to community
level, and identify the required support;
(ii) Define the training and capacity building to sustain their affected livelihoods and way of
transitions to alternative livelihoods (ex. resin, field school and ecotourism); and
(iii) Define co-management arrangements and alternative livelihood activities to be supported
including pertinent training.
Indigenous communities will be engaged and their participation promoted to define alternative
livelihoods that are culturally appropriate. The project will consider their agreements reached with the
participation of their local leaders supporting the preparation of appropriated material for project
communication. Furthermore, impacts to IPs will need to be properly captured in an IPP to ensure free,
prior and informed consultation with IPs.
Based on the information provided above, therefore it is critically important to:
DRAFT
6
(i) Consider beneficiaries (from villages, communes, etc.) as equal partners and stakeholders in
the management of forest resources, with special attention to IPs, for whom their views will be
considered and respected;
(ii) Observe beneficiaries’ information requirements of IPs and other vulnerable members including
women;
(iii) Approach the different local organizations that may differ from place to place; and
(iv) Recognize that engaging local communities is a time consuming process and that it requires
time, consistency and a good planning.
4.2 BUILDING COMMUNITY AWARENESS
The project will provide guidance to facilitate participation with special attention provided to IPs to
ensure culturally appropriate information is provided. Awareness-raising through information sessions
before starting formal consultations will be undertaken will take the form of community meetings,
informational presentations and dissemination of informational materials, among others. The
awareness-building process will include:
a. An ongoing process, with sub-projects developed to support alternative livelihoods within the
communities where dialogues and learning events among the participating communities will be
undertaken. The project will support local leaderships when developing training and mentoring
of community leaders. Community leaders will also play a key role in supporting the
implementation activities for the PF;
b. Consultations will entail meetings and focus groups discussions to address potential adverse
impacts of forest management and to observe the traditional practices that could be supported
by the project. Communities will be informed about the potential access restrictions in
workshops, community meetings and focus group discussions, ensuring gender-balanced
participation. The result of the information collected will be considered in the design of activities
and in the information materials prepared for the project;
c. The new defined areas for forest restoration along with the designed protected areas will be
mapped and the plans for their management will be provided, including the local legislation and
the World Bank’s policy requirements.
4.3 DEVELOPMENT OF COMMUNITY PROTECTED AREA MANAGEMENT PLANS AND DEVELOPMENT PLANS
Given the facts that the project is going to strengthen landscape planning and the ability to manage
natural resources, there is likely to be some restrictions of access to forest resources that may affect
local communities. For this reason, Community Protected Area Management Plans (CPAMPs) should
be developed through consultation with communities to identify areas of restriction and alternative
livelihoods. The project will strive to integrate these CPAMPs into broader Commune Development
Plans, to ensure local-level planning takes into account forest protection and any restrictions that may
be in place. Expertise to support IPZ staff and local authorities on developing participatory plans may
be required. Accurate and sufficient baseline information will be essential not only to provide a basis for
planning, but also for effective management of implementation, monitoring and evaluation and capacity
DRAFT
7
building of the village and its members. In general, development of alternative livelihoods and
integration into Commune Development Plans will necessitate:
a. Consultations with the community and relevant stakeholders;
b. Identification of restrictions and impacts of these restrictions;
c. Strategic analysis of community development both for CPA and for the commune;
d. Assessment of current programs and community plans and whether or how they can be
strengthened;
e. Selection and development of project activities; and
f. Establishment of monitoring system to ensure livelihoods of impacted people are restored.
CPAMPs will be developed with full participation from local communities to ensure communities get to
express their opinions on the choice of project activities and investments. The form of community
participation can vary, depending on specific or impacts being considered, and participation for IPs will
need to be on the basis of the IPPF and the principle of free, prior and informed consultation. The
Program project team will be responsible for the consultative design of CPAMPs, liaising with the
commune, and for selecting partners and contractors to carry out specific activities as needed.
4.4 OTHER ALTERNATIVES LIVELIHOODS
Alternative livelihood and livelihood restoration programs will be developed and incorporated into the
CPAMPs and Commune Development Plans as relevant. To appropriately and adequately compensate
households whose livelihoods will be adversely affected by access restrictions, the project will work with
communities and other stakeholder to develop alternative livelihoods. Successful implementation of the
project in the long-run will rely on the cooperation with local communities on CPAMPs, as well as with
local authorities in order to design and organize alternative livelihood measures to ensure livelihood
restoration of local people. Measures to develop alternative community and individual livelihoods will
be identified with the participation of the affected communities, which will focus on establishing
alternative livelihood and livelihood restoration activities that are environmentally sustainable and
culturally appropriate. The aim will be to identify alternative livelihood activities which fit local natural
endowments, benefiting eco-protection and restoration, positive for increasing local living standard,
maintain local traditions and conforming to development plans of local government.
4.5 IMPLEMENTATION OF COMMUNITY PROTECTED AREA MANAGEMENT PLANS AND MONITORING
All eligible households affected by access restrictions as a result of project activities will be covered by
the mitigation measures developed in the PF/Action Plans. The forest co-management model at the
community level includes four main steps:
1. Identify and establish representative institutions for involved stakeholders (village and
commune, forest management board). Identify the roles, duties and rights of the stakeholders
in forest management.
2. Negotiate and obtain agreement among the stakeholders on forest protection and management
issues in order to get consensus and collaboration of all stakeholders.
DRAFT
8
3. Implement co-management following the agreed CPAMPs, for example in forest patrolling and
protection, community livelihood development, management of forest products utilization,
management of forest environment services and forest land planning.
4. Monitoring and evaluation by participation of all stakeholders to ensure living standards of those
impacted are restored.
5.0 IMPLEMENTATION ARRANGEMENTS
The project will be implemented over a period of six years. Institutional arrangements for implementation
will follow the government’s institutional structure, with the WCS as the Executing Agency (EA), WWF
and YABI as Implementing Agencies and KfW Germany will oversee the financial services support.
Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) with line ministries implementing sub-components will ensure
clarity on roles and responsibilities. The EA and IA will establish an implementation project team with
experts with technical, administrative, environmental and social safeguards, procurement and finance
expertise. WCS, WWF and YABI already have safeguard focal points working on the IPZ project and
sub-projects. Strategic direction and guidance for the management and operation of the project will be
provided by a high-level Project Steering Committee, chaired by the MoEF.
6.0 PUBLIC CONSULTATIONS AN GRIEVANCE REDRESS
6.1 PUBLIC CONSULTATION AND PARTICIPATION DURING PROJECT PREPARATION
During public consultation the Joined Project Unit (WCS,WWF and Yabi) will get consultation from other
Partners as MoEF (ministry of Environment and Forestry) , TNBBS office , and also other local NGO.
The project will be consulted about benefit and Impact to the TNBBS.
6.2 PUBLIC CONSULTATION AND PARTICIPATION DURING PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION
The IPZ and sub-project will adopt meaningful consultation and stakeholder participatory approach and
will be consistent with the IPPF/IPPs in instances where IPs reside and are impacted. During project
screening (project area selection process) communities, teachers, parents and local authorities will be
consulted about benefits and potential impacts. A social assessment will be conducted in target areas
where potential impacts on IPs, land and other resources are identified. At least two public consultation
meetings will be conducted. The IPZ and sub-project activities, project impacts and mitigation measures
will be presented during the first meeting. Then, the second public consultation meeting will be
conducted to determine whether there is support for the project activities and mitigation plans.
Prior to consultations, the Project Partners will send notice to the communities informing their leaders
that they will be visited by the respective focal person and local authorities and that consultation will be
conducted to seek input on the project intervention and to determine potential adverse impacts as well
as possible support from the project in order to address the potential impacts. The notice will request
that communities invite representatives from farmers, women association, village leaders and/or other
groups as necessary so that they have the opportunity to express their views with regards to the
proposed activities.
DRAFT
9
During the consultation, detailed procedures would be determined on a village-by-village basis to
determine the potential impact and possible support under the IPZ project and sub-project. Further, a
grievance mechanism will be established to address concerns and complaints to ensure affected people
can voice their concerns; particularly on land acquisition and livelihood loss. If a beneficiary community
includes ethnic minority communities that do not belong to the ethnic majority group in the community,
their representatives will be included in the conflict resolution mechanisms. This will ensure cultural
appropriateness, and community involvement particularly with the ethnic groups in the decision-making
processes.
In the process, free, prior and informed consultations will be undertaken in a language spoken by, and
at a location convenient for, potentially affected IPs, consistent with the project IPPF. The views of IPs
are to be taken into account during implementation of the IPZ project and sub-projects, while respecting
their current practices, beliefs and cultural preferences. The outcome of the consultations will be
documented into the periodical reports and submitted to the KfW for review.
If IPs are identified during implementation of the IPZ project and sub-project, an updated social
assessment shall also be carried out to monitor the positive and negative impacts of the project, and
obtain feedback from the project-affected IPs. Monitoring is crucial to ensure affected livelihoods are
appropriately restored. Based on the outcome of the social assessment, further measures may be taken
to ensure full benefits and mitigation of anticipated negative impacts. If necessary, additional activities
for institutional strengthening and capacity building of IP communities living within the project area shall
be carried out. If unexpected impacts are more significant than expected, IPP and/or Resettlement
Action Plans (if appropriate) may need to be updated.
6.3 GRIEVANCE REDRESS MECHANISM
At the beginning of implementation, the grievance redress committees will be established at commune,
districts, and provincial levels as appropriate, built on the existing structures. At the village level, the
existing grievance mechanisms that is chaired by a village chief, elder and/or spiritual/tribal leaders, a
process largely acceptable to local communities, will be strengthened as the first tier conflict resolution
mechanism. This arrangement ensures that an existing system is available to resolve grievances or
complaints that may occur during and after project intervention. The grievance mechanism will be
applied to persons or groups that are directly or indirectly affected by a project, as well as those that
may have interests in a project and/or have the ability to influence its outcome either positively or
negatively. The project team will provide training and support to strengthen these existing structures for
effectively and collectively dealing with possible grievances that may be raised by PACs.
The project will, in consultation with IPs, ensure that grievance mechanisms are appropriate and are
fully consulted with IPs. When possible, regular grievance mechanisms of Indonesia will be followed,
with the first instance being the village level, then the commune level, the district level and finally the
provincial level, and these will be strengthened to ensure they can effectively deal with IP concerns. If
project sub-components involve land acquisition, a Grievance Redress Mechanism (GRM) will be
established for the IPZ project and sub-project, based on the RPF and closely linked to this IPPF or
IPPs as appropriate.
In the target areas where IP are affected directly or indirectly, all complaints shall be discussed among
the villagers in the presence of traditional village leader or elder and negotiations is carried out in the
community or village where the affected person and PAH live. Where necessary, the IPZ project and

1 Examples of projects where the impacts are likely to have significant adverse environmental impacts that are sensitive,
diverse or unprecedented are large scale infrastructure such as construction of new roads, railways, power plants, major urban development, water treatment, waste water treatment plants and solid waste collection and disposal etc.
2 Generally, sub-projects with significant resettlement-related impacts should be categorized as A. Application of judgment is necessary in assessing the potential significance of resettlement-related impacts, which vary in scope and scale from sub-project to sub-project. Sub-projects that would require physical relocation of residents or businesses, as well as sub-projects that would cause any individuals to lose more than 10 percent of their productive land area, often are categorized as A. Scale may also be a factor, even when the significance of impacts is relatively minor. Sub-projects affecting whole communities or relatively large numbers of persons (for example, more than 1,000 in total) may warrant categorization as A, especially for

The Patrol Standard Operation Procedures (SOP) at BBSNP already exists and has been documented, but the points governing the opening of the new patrol line, the risks and mitigation have not been included in the Patrol SOP.
Even so, patrol activities always follow the existing line (both the wildlife activity and illegal lanes) so as not to open new patrol routes.
The Activities that will be carried out in the future are:
Revise the BBSNP SOP patrol
Identify new illegal routes.
Temporary camp activities cause damage, e.g. litter, use of wood for fire and camp construction etc.
The BBSNP SOP Patrol has also not included the governing points on temporary camp for patrol and surveys.
So far, patrol activities have been carried out using old used temporary camps or ex-hunter camps.
Camp material uses old materials that can still be used. After use the temporary camp, cleaning is done and carrying out waste batteries.
The activities that will be carried out are:
Revise BBSNP SOP;

As part of the review of environmental and social risks and impacts of a proposed investment, the IFC
uses a process of environmental and social categorization to reflect the magnitude of risks and
impacts. The resulting category also specifies IFC’s institutional requirements for disclosure in
accordance with IFC’s Access to Information Policy. These categories are:
Category A: Business activities with potential significant adverse environmental or social risks
and/or impacts that are diverse, irreversible, or unprecedented.
Category B: Business activities with potential limited adverse environmental or social risks and/or
impacts that are few in number, generally site-specific, largely reversible, and readily
addressed through mitigation measures.
Category C: Business activities with minimal or no adverse environmental or social risks and/or
impacts.
Category FI: Business activities involving investments in financial institutions (FIs) or through
delivery mechanisms involving financial intermediation.
This category is further divided into:
FI–1: when an FI’s existing or proposed portfolio includes, or is expected to include,
substantial financial exposure to business activities with potential significant
adverse environmental or social risks or impacts that are diverse, irreversible, or
unprecedented.
FI–2: when an FI’s existing or proposed portfolio is comprised of, or is expected to be
comprised of, business activities that have potential limited adverse environmental
or social risks or impacts that are few in number, generally site-specific, largely
reversible, and readily addressed through mitigation measures; or includes a very
limited number of business activities with potential significant adverse
environmental or social risks or impacts that are diverse, irreversible, or
unprecedented.
FI–3: when an FI’s existing or proposed portfolio includes financial exposure to business
activities that predominantly have minimal or no adverse environmental or social
impacts.

Participatory Social Assessement Guidelines

Appendix A8 Participatory Social Assessment Guidelines
Community consultations will be based on free, prior and informed consultation to gauge support for
the proposed sub-projects. Objectives of community consultations are to: (i) provide background
information to various stakeholders and different populations; (ii) receive feedback from civil society
organizations (CSOs) including non-government organizations (NGOs), community based
organizations (CBOs), local leadership and other publics on issues and perceived concerns; and,
(iii) discuss methods and resources to maximize the proposed sub-project initiatives and activities’
environmental and social performance. These participatory and consultative meetings will provide PPID
with an opportunity to discuss grievance redress mechanisms and monitoring for those different
populations and communities which may be impacted adversely from implementation of the proposed
sub-projects.
Ensuring that the sub-projects’ impact assessment includes a participatory and gender-responsive
social analysis is an important element of each stage or level of the project lifecycle. The starting point
for effective gender mainstreaming in infrastructure sub-projects is to undertake the required gender
analysis once specific proposed sub-project initiatives and/or activities’ locations have been identified.
A gender analysis typically involves examining potential impacts of the project intervention on women
and men and may include the collection of sex‐disaggregated or gender‐sensitive data. A gender
analysis examines the different roles, rights, and opportunities of men and women and relations
between them (i.e., the economic and social relationships between females and males which are
constructed and reinforced by social institutions). It also identifies disparities, examines why such
disparities exist, determines whether they are a potential impediment to achieving results, and looks at
how they can be addressed (USAID 2011). Measures must be proposed to address these issues, along
with specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time-bound (SMART) indicators to monitor the
intended social benefits and development outcomes and risks of the sub-projects.
Conducting a gender analysis when designing a new project or activity will help to:
Analyze gender roles in project design;
Identify root causes of existing gender inequalities in that context so that they can be addressed
in the project design;
Identify different needs and priorities of men and women in both the near and long term;
Collect sex‐disaggregated baseline data;
Avoid perpetuating traditional power imbalances; and
Enhance the likelihood of strong and sustainable project results.
As indicated, the project aims to reducing anthropogenic pressure on priority areas in the BBSNP,
improving national park and conservation zone management including establishing an Intensive
Management Zone (IMZ), and thereby effectively protect the habitat of endangered species (Sumatran
rhinoceros, Sumatran tiger, and Sumatran elephant) is effectively protected. The objective of the project
is: Conservation of highly threatened tropical rainforest in the BBSNP as priority habitat
for critically endangered species and carbon sink through innovative management
concepts and sustainable land use management in cooperation with local communities
and the national park authority.
DRAFT

Component 2 of the project ‘Establishment and Implementation of an IMZ’ will help to increase the
Sumatran rhinoceros population in the BBSNP. Relatedly, Component 3 of the project ‘Land-use
pressure on the IPZ is diminished through improved land use management and community development’
will help to reduce illegal poaching and encroachment risk and support scalable resilient approaches
for improve the biodiversity found within the BBSNP.
During the initial interim period preceding the project, no noteworthy economic or political changes have
occurred at either the national level or provincial level, which might be seen as a major risk to the
planned project outcomes.
As part of the IPZ socialization process, the Head of BBSNP will disseminate material that explains the
purpose and function of the IPZ. The specific IPZ socialization activity will be updated as necessary
during the development of the IPZ management strategy.
Currently, two main approaches to achieving sustainable outcomes with the BBSNP authority have
been prioritized for attention from the outset. These are:
Ensure a smooth and gradual hand over of NGO partner roles and responsibilities to the
BBSNP particularly for the SMART patrol system in the BBSNP. An integral part of this process
will be the ongoing and capacity building support that WCS and YABI provide. This would
include providing accredited training syllabuses specifically produced for each of the main
components of SMART. The accreditation part is important because it means that trained civil
servants will receive career points.
Ensure the completion of a comprehensive protected area financing analysis for the BBSNP by
2018 that provides a compelling argument for allocating sufficient funds to cover the costs of
forest and wildlife protection and related activities including education and awareness raising
and community-based forest management initiatives. After this, WCS would work towards
transitioning from project to government funding for the core activities. DRAFT

Appendix A9 Key Stakeholders
The MoEF supports the IPZ project and actions to improve participation, public consultation and
information disclosure. Implementation relies on national strategies, legislation and procedures and will
be supplemented - as necessary - by IFC Performance Standards for participation, consultation and
disclosure concerning the safeguards aspects of the sub-project as described in the ESMF.
Components 3, 4 and 5 will pursue a process of meaningful consultation and engagement that includes
national and local government, and relevant stakeholders. Similarly, the sub-projects, once defined, will
support consultative decision making by ensuring public access to information on environmental and
social aspects. In addition to ensuring that free, prior and informed consultation (FPIC) activities are
undertaken in relation to potential environmental and social impacts, the consultation process will also
inform and explain the proposed sub-project initiatives to affected communities, gather information from
impacted populations, and conduct gender sensitive awareness raising.

Appendix A11 Stakeholder Consultations
Importance of Stakeholder Consultations
Public consultations occur at all stages of sub-project preparation and planning of feasibility studies and
detailed design. Public participation and consultations take place through individual, group or
community meetings. Additionally, different media may be used (e.g., public notice boards, official
invitation letter, electronic communication including internet websites, email or cell phone) to
disseminate information. To ensure that IFC consultation and disclosure policies are followed, project
affected people (PAP) and communities (PAC) in the region of influence are engaged through free, prior
and informed consultation to gauge support for the proposed sub-projects. In this manner, stakeholders,
various publics and different populations are consulted during several stages of sub-project preparation,
including:
Project Identification: preliminary consultations were conducted during identification of
Component 1 whereby local government authorities were consulted to ensure that the IPZ
project aligned with national policies and legal frameworks, sectoral and local plans and
strategies. Relevant stakeholders were consulted during development of the ESMF.
Documented records of engagement and consultations are documented in Appendices A11
and A12: Stakeholder Consultations. Similar consultations will be held for each sub-project
when they are identified.
Project Preparation: consultations will be conducted during preparation of the feasibility and
design studies to: (i) obtain detailed background information; (ii) conduct environmental and
social surveys; and, (iii) informing as well as collecting opinions of key stakeholders, various
publics and different populations on potential environmental and social impacts;
Project Implementation: for sub-projects under IFC Category A that might be nationally
controversial, a Communication Plan including a grievance redress mechanism will be
developed for the proposed sub-project(s) and implemented prior to implementation.
Participation of local leaders in disseminating information and resolving any disputes will be
important. However, it should be noted that the proposed sub-projects can be categorized
under IFC Category B; Category A projects will not be funded under the IPZ project.
Monitoring and Reporting: national and local level government, stakeholders, various publics
and different populations should participate throughout the proposed sub-project development,
implementation and operational period. Participation mechanisms should be assessed during
the feasibility and design phase.
Site-Specific Contextual Gender Information
The Ministry of Woman Empowerment and Children Protection of the Republic of Indonesia, concerning
Gender Mainstreaming (INPRES No. 9/2000) aims at reducing the gap between Indonesian women
and men in accessing and obtaining development benefits, as well as to increase participation in and
control over the development process. The guidance in this regulation created momentum for the
advancement of women and the promotion of gender equality, which recently extended to gender-
inclusive planning and budgeting. There has been a shift in socio-cultural norms and values to better
protect the rights of women and men as reflected in several laws that have been revised. There are
also signs, however, of an emergence of religion-inspired discriminatory legislation at the local level.
The challenge now is to strengthen the implementation of gender mainstreaming by improving
legislative and policy frameworks, to enforce coordination of gender mainstreaming efforts among
DRAFT
2
national ministries and all levels of public institutions, and to replicate good practices displayed
throughout Indonesia.
Indonesia’s Gender Development Index shows that challenges remain to achieving gender equality.
The 2010 Human Development Report (HDR), commissioned by the United Nations Development
Programme, ranked Indonesia 108 out of 182 countries according to a Human Development Index
(HDI), which measures development by combining indicators of life expectancy, educational attainment
and income. The report also highlighted Indonesia as a country with the greatest progress in recent
decades, along with China, Nepal, Lao PDR and the Republic of Korea. The HDI, however, does not
measure the degree of gender equality within these development indicators. The Gender Development
Index (GDI) aims to show inequalities between men and women in the following areas: health,
education, and standard of living. Although Indonesia ranked 93 out of 155 countries in 2009, there has
been a consistent improvement in Indonesia’s GDI rank although the country still faces challenges in
achieving gender equality in all key development indicators. [Note: the GDI is the HDI adjusted
downwards for gender inequality. This means that GDI falls when the disparity between the
achievement levels of men and women increases. If there is no inequality, the HDI and the GDI will be
equal (UNDP.org, 2010)].
An initial round of stakeholder consultations for the ESMF development was held in Krui, Pesisir Barat
Regency, on 3rd October 2019. To ensure gender-specific project concerns were captured, discussions
with residents were gender segregated. In general, female respondents supported and welcomed the
project and believed it will improve their quality of life. Human-wildlife conflicts close to the harvest
season often occur although they may occur throughout the year. Women are worried about their
husbands and children who work in and play around the farmland. Female respondents also said that
they have enough space and freedom to express their opinions in the community.
The abovementioned gender-related findings can be further interpreted and put into actionable
recommendations for the sub-projects, including:
Inclusion of gender considerations in early stages of the project is highly recommended. This
can be done by engaging gender expertise at project design and as an integral part of the
implementation team. The link and information exchange between IPZ Project Partners and
gender focal points from both national and sub-national government entities and CBOs should
be strengthened. Once the proposed sub-project locations have been identified then, sufficient
time and budget should be set aside to conduct a thorough gender-related analysis;
Ensuring equal participation amongst men and women in the planning process remains the key
to informed sub-project development. Consultation with communities should be handled to avoid
raising expectation. The community should be well informed about how the sub-project(s) will be
implemented, what the outputs will be and what the expected benefits are (i.e., the reason for
doing the sub-projects);
The shift in decision making and balance of power between men and women is a gradual process
which demands effort to be invested in further capacity building, knowledge and awareness-
raising amongst women and, which should be done by involving men so as to gain their support
for more inclusive decision-making. The sub-projects could contribute to this gender
mainstreaming process and women’s empowerment in an incremental manner; and
Suggested the role of community monitoring and reporting (particularly, women’s potential
involvement) should be well reflected in the terms of reference and tender documents to ensure
community concerns are addressed.

Appendix A16 Grievance Redress Mechanism Principles
GRM is a tool for early identification, assessment and resolution on any grievance on the activities and
physical investment in this project. The objectives of the GRM in this Project are four-fold:
To provide easy access to public especially the affected community members to file grievance
and/or concerns on a particular activity or physical investment (subproject);
To identify and assess the nature of grievance and/or concerns and agree on solution as early
as possible so that constructive inputs can be considered in the design of an activity or a
physical investment;
To avoid stalled activities or physical investment in the later stage due to the ignorance of
grievance, leading to unmanageable and high costs;
To obtain support from the impacted communities for the proposed activities or physical
investment; and
To achieve sustainable tourism development whereby communities have strong ownerships,
participation and get fair benefits from the sustainable utilization of tourist attractions, either
man-made assets, culture and values, and/or natural resources.
GRM in this Project will be important to ensure that relevant concerns and suggestions delivered during
public consultations of the ESMF are incorporated at the planning and implementation stages of any
activities and physical investment under the Project. Effective GRM can accelerate the achievement
and improve the quality of the Project outcomes. It is important for this KfW BBS project to strengthen
the current GRM system that has already in place in various agencies/entities at the national, provincial
and district/city levels to better manage grievance handling resolution processes particularly for those
related to the tourism development.
Although the discussion on GRM in this ESMF is targeted for environmental and social issues, it is not,
however, exclusively implemented for these two issues but for any issues related to the KfW BBS
Project. The GRM covers broader aspects such as technical-related aspects of construction,
environmental and social issues related to subproject construction, social issues that may arise (e.g.
resettlement), and any other grievance directed towards the KfW BBS project. The GRM applies for
grievance handling resolution during project preparation, implementation and completion.
KEY PRINCIPLES OF GRIEVANCE MECHANISM
Key principles of grievance mechanism resolution will be based on the applicable regulations, which as
follows:
Free. The stakeholders can submit the grievance without fees, through diverse channels, which
are available at each different level, namely village, district, provincial and national;
Fairness. Stakeholders who submit grievance must be treated fairly and non-threatening
access, and the follow-up grievance resolution regardless of their origin, ethnicity, religion,
nationality status, social and economic background;
Immediate response. Grievance will be resolved as early as possible, at the lowest levels.
The cases that cannot be resolved at a lower level will be brought to a higher level;
DRAFT
2
Options. The aggrieved PAP or PAH are given various options for settlement and they can be
invited for negotiations to reach an agreed resolution and can be accepted by all parties;
Objective and Transparent. The system for handling Grievance will safeguard the principle of
objectivity, transparency and justice, by having an Independent Advisory Team, which will be
formed based on needs and willingness to help those who grievance at any level.
For the aggrieved PAP or PAH, who are still dissatisfied with the follow-up or settlement provided, can
continue to seek another settlement through the litigation process in accordance with Indonesian laws
and regulations.
GRM STRUCTURE
The Project’s Grievance Redress Mechanisms (GRM) comprises of four-tier system, i.e. village,
district/city, provincial and national level. Basically, the GRM of KfW BBS project will use existing
mechanisms that have been applied in each institutional authority (OPD). Therefore, the stages and the
time period for handling grievances will depend on the existing mechanism. The institutional authority
in every level is responsible to handle the grievance resolution.
The grievance will be divided into three issues, including: grievances related to land and territorial
issues, grievances related to the human – animal conflict, and others including those related to the
program. Therefore, at the national level the submission of grievances can be through a website that
has been available and managed by Director General of Law Enforcement (DGLE), Director General of
Social Forestry and Environment Partnership (DGSFEP), and Information Management and
Documentation Officer (PPID). The PPID has mandated by the ministry will be responsible for handling
grievances at the national level.
All grievances that deliver to district, provincial and national levels will be documented through the PPID
System managed by the PPID. The grievance handling and reporting is coordinated by the Regional
Secretary (SEKDA) at each level. In terms of recording, monitoring and reporting, SEKDA will be
assisted by Dedicated Functions that are recruited from the IPZ Program.
GRM in the lower level may hierarchically relates to the higher levels (and vice versa), depending on
the nature of the grievances and at what level the follow-up. aggrieved PAP or PAH could submit their
grievance directly to the authorized institution (OPD) in each level or facilitated by dedicated function
hired by IPZ Program. Dedicated function will deliver the grievance to the authorized institution to
handle.
Grievance mechanism has been consulted to the stakeholders such as local communities including IP
and Adat Community, Regional Organizations (or Organisasi Perangkat Daerah/OPD).
INSTITUTIONAL ARRANGEMENTS
The GRM has been exist at the local to national level. When a grievance cannot be resolved at lowest
level will escalate to the higher level. At the end, the grievance will be transferred to the relevant unit in
MoEF that handles grievances in national level. The unit will adopt key principles by having a dedicated
function who will be available to assist the person(s) raising the grievance(s) and work with all the units.
The institutional arrangement at National level will be coordinated by PPID. At the provincial and district
level the arrangement will be coordinated by SEKDA. SEKDA will have a dedicated function to record,
monitor, and report the any grievance related KfW BBS project.

High risk conflicts will be resolved using the following mechanisms:
Conflict reporting can be done using on-line system developed by DG Law Enforcement
(Gakum On-line), Task Force at district and provincial levels (Environmental Agency and
Plantation Agency), and system for reporting tenurial conflict and customary forest (DG Social
Forestry and Environmental Partnership);
Conflict resolution done by Plantation Agency (resolving disturbances to plantation), and
Environmental Agency. Additionally, social Forestry Working Group;
Conflict resolution done by “flying team” from MoEF (e.g., DG Conservation of Natural
Resources and Ecosystem and DG Social Forestry and Environmental Partnership –
Directorate Tenurial Conflict and Customary Forest - PKTHA)
The institutional arrangement is responsible to record the grievance, follow up the action, monitor the
settlement process, and report to the IPZ Program.
IMPLEMENTATION ARRANGEMENTS AT NATIONAL LEVEL
At the national level, GRM to be hosted under the Directorate General of Law Enforcement on
Environment & Forestry (Ditjen PHLHK or also well-known as Ditjen GAKUM), Directorate General of
Social Forestry and Environmental Partnership (Perhutanan Sosial dan Kemitraan Lingkungan/Ditjen
PSKL), or a new established unit for KfW BBS-GRM under Information Management and
Documentation Officer (PPID), in which PID (Public Information Data System) is placed (Table A16.1).

Grievance handling
As noted above, accountability for program implementation, at least for the public agencies, is facilitated
through the national governance system, where district institutions are accountable to the province, and
the province is accountable to the Center. Program activities are largely based on policies and
commitments that have come from the province and district levels. This includes Lampung protection
for conservation area commitments, the Governor’s moratorium on issuing licenses in primary forests,
district-level commitments to sustainable estate crop development, and ongoing sustainability efforts
by the private sector.
At the Project level, grievances which are filed beyond the head of one of the authorities mentioned
above are addressed by the authorized institution (OPD). Grievances typically include decisions
regarding gazettement of state forest area, changes in forest land ownership status, forest area
conversion etc. Grievance redress mechanism process is based on the existing mechanism in each
authorized institution (OPD) and Indonesian Regulation.
For affected customary communities, the grievance mechanism shall follow existing customary law (if
any) or any mechanism provided by local government based on community request. Communities can
raise their grievances to MoEF based on Decree No. 24/Menhut-II/2015 on the Establishment of a Team
for Addressing Environmental and Forestry-Related Grievances. At village level, individual PAPs may
bring their grievances to the village and/or customary leader. If the village/customary leader cannot
settle the grievance, the process will be escalate to higher level.
DEDICATED FUNCTION AND ACCESS POINT
Provincial government organizations generally appoint a Section Head of related agencies to monitor
the program implementation update. The Section Head can also be appointed to receive and follow up
the grievances. He/she can ask to village government to help in connecting to the relevant district
government organizations regarding to the grievances. The connecting point for handling grievances
resolution is the District and Provincial Environmental agencies that handle the environmental issues.
The Grievance Channel must be easily accessed, and it need to disclosure to the public, especially to
the affected community groups. Publications are carried out through multi-media public channels,
including social media, as well as through village offices or village halls in affected villages. This
reception channel can include from or all of the following: telephone, whatsapps, sms, social media,
