… efforts started before Act No 4/1982 publishedi 1980 h t t d t d i t l i t l i fsince 1980 have started to do environmental impact analysis for some specific activities called Analisis Dampak Lingkungan (ADL)

Government developed guidelines for the ADL for several activities (power plants highways ports industrial mining etc)

Officially introduced in 1986

GRAND STRATEGY for AMDALWith Danida support, 2010

Vision for 2025: All environment instruments functioning effectively efficientlyVision for 2025: All environment instruments functioning effectively, efficiently

STRATEGY:find the right balance between standardized system and adaptive implementation 

STANDARDIZE requirements for AMDAL consultants and for reviewers

Allow ADAPTIVE implementation with respect to timing & scope of AMDAL study 

Develop an AMDAL “infrastructure” to support implementation

Engage all “stakeholders” to improve AMDAL
