The Partnership for Sustainable Development Program in Indonesia: Linking MDGs & the Global Compact Extreme poverty and a lack of sustainable development for the worlds poor will constitute the greatest challenge to maintaining peace this century. Millennium Declaration "We must work to underpin the marketplace with solid and stable foundations and open the door to full participation by all people, including and especially the world's poor. Secretary-General Remarks, 1st Global Compact Advisory Council, 2002

1) Background

Indonesia y yFor countries like Indonesia, there is good progress towards achieving the MDGs at the national level, but the challenge remains to effectively address pockets of poverty at the sub-national level. Partnership with business will be critical, since business serves as a driver of growth and revenues needed to achieve development goals. y yAchieving future development gains in Indonesia will depend on its ability to renew and sustain an adequate level of economic growth. While renewed private investment and a return to growth will be a significant achievement for achieving development goals, the context in for this growth has changed. y yNot only must growth translate into development gains for the pockets of poverty, it must also address greater demands for local autonomy and inclusion of civil society in decision-making. Indonesias challenge is to manage globalization and renewed business investments in a way that adapts to this new development context growth with equity and sustainability.

Targeting Pockets of Poverty The Challenge in Papua Province y yIndonesias largest province, Papua (formerly Irian Jaya) holds the highest levels of poverty - with about 60% of its population in extreme poverty. It also hosts 60% of Indonesias biodiversity and has the nations highest rates of HIV/AIDS. Thus, it stands as a priority for MDGs under several Goals. y yA watershed in achieving development goals in Papua will be the Tangguh Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) operation. With a US$3 billion investment by British Petroleum (BP) and a consortium of foreign investors, Tangguh stands as Indonesias largest Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) since the economic crisis began in 1998. Tangguh is planned to commence exports around 2010, and after several years of cost recovery, is expected to generate approximately $1 billion revenue per year starting in 2015, to be shared between national, provincial and district governments. y yUnder a Special Autonomy Act for Papua passed in 2001, the province will retain 70% of LNG revenues and major decision-making powers, a major shift from times when the majority of revenues and decision were controlled by the central government. The challenge for local government and partners will be to manage the change associated with Tangguh and autonomy in way that can meet human development goals equitably and sustainably towards 2015 and beyond.

The capacity to change y yIn July 2004, UNDP is commencing the Partnerships for Sustainable Development programme with national and local government, civil society and BP to engage the challenge of building local capacities to manage this process. This is done by finding synergy among the approaches of the MDGs and the Global Compact towards common development objectives among government, business and civil society. y yThe goal of the programme is to develop new poverty reduction strategies and new models of local development that distinguish themselves from past failures and translates growth into poverty reduction. y yThe unprecedented levels of local revenues that will flow from Tangguh can be a major boost to local poverty reduction efforts. However, Papua has failed in the past to benefit from commodity export-led growth to improve its rate of progress on development indicators. (Papua hosts the Freeport Copper and Gold Mine the largest in the world).

The capacity to change y yThe 2003 UNDP Human Development Report (HDR), shows that economies with a heavy dependence on a commodity exports face hurdles in sustaining growth, many suffering a decline in MDG indicators in recent years. This contrasts with economies that used trade as an engine for growth of a diversified local economy, and enacted measures for preventing distributional conflicts. y yEconomies that depend solely on commodity-exports have the highest poverty - 80% of people in mineral exporting countries lived on less than $1/day at the end of the 1990s, compared with 43% in service exporters and 25% in manufactured goods exporters. y yThe HDR also highlights the fact that conflicts are increasingly located within countries rather than between countries, often taking place in regions where commodity exports take centre stage in the local economy and where poverty has become entrenched as a result of distributional inequities. Twenty two of the 34 countries that were furthest away from achieving the MGDs in 2000 were affected by conflict, mostly internal.

Conventional Oil and Gas Development: LNG Centralised Growth Model Fertilizer Plant Petrochemical Plant New Town Uncontrolled Development Issues to manage: Uncontrolled in-migration; environmental degradation; disenfranchised local communities.

DIVERSIFIED GROWTH STRATEGY y The DGS manages change by expanding economic opportunities for local villages but emphasizes the importance of strengthening sustainable economic and social development in the broader region, and in other resource sectors such as forestry, fisheries, agriculture and manufacturing y The DGS thus discourages in-migration to the Project site a major management issue for similar projects elsewhere. y The disbursement of revenues to the Province and to Local Government creates the first opportunity in the outer islands of Indonesia for a diversified rather than a concentrated growth strategy.

DGS LOCAL SCALE: PARTNERSHIP WITH VILLAGE COMMUNITIES y Purpose is to ensure that local people benefit from the exploitation of their natural resource; but are not overwhelmed by rates of technological, environmental, social and economic change. y Activities include support for service providers to improve education, health and infrastructure and to promote economic opportunities; establishment of systems for community based security and third party support for development. y Outcomes include: needs of directly affected villages met; community-based security successful, and mechanisms allowing donor sources and investments to fund economic and social development in place; capacity for local involvement in LNG workforce

DGS REGIONAL SCALE CONSTRUCTION PHASE: PARTNERSHIPS WITH THE PRIVATE SECTOR y Purpose: To protect environment and the authority of local adat land owners through the promotion of sustainable development of industry in existing urban centres. y Activities: assistance through contracts in District cities and the sub-district towns, for the provision of goods and services. (e.g. ITB) y Outcomes: Enhanced capacity of urban centers to provide goods, support services and training resulting in greater employment and social and economic opportunities; and Minimization of in-migration by non-local people to the Project site during critical early years Minimization of in-migration by non-local people to the Project site during critical early years

DGS REGIONAL SCALE CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATIONAL PHASES: PARTNERSHIP WITH THE PUBLIC SECTOR y Purpose: to enhance the capacity of local and provincial government to provide essential social services and environmental and resource management as implementation of the Tangguh Project drives economic change. y Mechanisms: strategic partnerships with Provincial, Local and National government and other stakeholders for collaborative work improving planning and revenue management capacity. y Outcomes: Strategic Growth Plan for western Papua prioritising economic, social and infrastructure development across a range of sectors; improved HR capacity in local governments, including career continuity for newly trained staff; Identification of potential donor-supported projects for further capacity building.

IMPLEMENTING THE DGS BP will not fill a role of de facto government, despite a long term commitment to Papua and Indonesia. BP believes that sustainable development can only be produced by the people and their social institutions Development of social institutions is appropriately the role of public sector agencies such as the government supported by organisations such as the UN, the development banks and bilaterals BP does accept that its role is to implement partnership agreements which facilitate the engagement of these institutions

MILESTONES TOWARDS PARTNERSHIP May 2001 socialization and debate of planning concepts in BP and the State Oil Regulating Body (Pertamina) July 2001 introductory meetings of ideas with the Papuan Provincial and districts governments identification of key Papuan personalities. August 2001 initial discussion with UNDP concerning potential partnership opportunities November 2001 National Workshop in Papua to endorse DGS with financial support from BP, UNDP and Papuan Government May 2002 initial discussions towards an agreement between the national provincial and local governments, BP and UNDP concerning the implementation of the DGS June 2002 concept discussed between UNDP Indonesia and UNDP Administrator at WSSD Final Preparatory Committee meeting in Indonesia September 2002 National Workshop in Papua to draft an MOU October 2002 Papua indigenous people (adat) workshop endorse MOU November 2002 MOU signed between Provincial Government of Papua and district governments, UNDP, BP witnessed by National Government. June 2004 final approvals by Indonesian Government to proceed with 3 vear UNDP-BP Partnership Programme

2) The Partnership for Sustainable Development Programme

The Partnership Programme y yThe program reflects a partnership between the local, provincial and national governments; civil society, UNDP and BP. y yThe goal of the programme is to ensure that the growth resulting from the Natural Gas investment is sustainable, equitable and can help achieve the Millennium Development Goals. It engages BPs commitment to corporate responsibility and development, as a lead member of the Global Compact. y yThrough cooperation between BP, UNDP, civil society and the Government, the Diversified Growth Strategy (DGS) has been adopted as Papuas new policy framework. The partnership project sets out to implement the policy through the production of a strategic development plan, enactment of new regulatory frameworks, and capacity building. The construction of the plan is an exercise in capacity building learning by doing

y yAn initial three-year Phase I (2004-2006; US$1million) is commencing in July 2004 to reach four specific outputs. This will end with support to design of Phase II (2007-2015) to move towards achievement of MDGs by 2015. The four Outputs of Phase I are: y yOutput 1: Enhanced partnerships among government, civil society and business: y yDialogues, consultations, research and advice on means to improve role of civil society and indigenous peoples groups, and local business development to serve as a basis for all other outputs. y yNational Advisory Council with 15 agencies to support roll-out of capacities to local government y yProvincial Steering Committee with government, business and civil society to guide programme activities and monitor progress y yDistrict Committees to lead execution of programme outputs Programme outputs and activities

Output 2: A long-term Regional Development Plan (2005-2015) for achieving MDGs through equitable and sustainable growth. Developing a basic strategy for development a Diversified Growth Strategy (DGS) focusing on diversification of local economy, equitable revenue sharing, local business development, and manage risks associated with Tangguh such as migration, etc. Identify critical development priorities towards 2015 based on a human development perspective and outline a development plan whereby government revenues from the Gas operations go to achieve development objectives. Identifying critical ecosystems and conservation areas, Papua holds 60% of Indonesias biodiversity) and review land and water use policies to adapt systems to new drivers of change from Tangguh.

y yOutput 3: Develop regulatory systems to manage the social, environmental and economic impacts of Tangguh and compliance with the Social and Environmental Impact Assessment (AMDAL) : y yIn the context of the new Special Autonomy Regime for Papua, this includes a rights-based approach, focusing on three pillars - Access to Participation: inclusive administrative decision- making processes related to local development, land and water use management and delivery of public services (including synergies between state and traditional governance systems), Access to Information: public information required to understand the risks and benefits from development activities and public programmes, and capacities needed to meaningfully contribute to decision-making processes, and take part in monitoring impacts of Tangguh, Access to Justice: improved dispute resolution mechanisms among government, civil society and business that address issues of compliance with Social and Environmental Impact Assessment (AMDAL), and local customary norms of indigenous peoples.

y yOutput 4: Design of Phase II (2007-2015) capacity building programme to implement the Development Plan: y yBased on the issues outlined in the Development Plan, a long-term programme will be designed and launched in 2007 as Phase II to build capacities needed to ensure achievement of MDGs. yThis includes integrated approach also covering governance reform, conflict prevention, and environmental protection activities. yIncludes establishment of Trust Fund with Government revenues from Tangguh, and support for mobilizing any supplemental resources needed from the donor community.

Thank you Comments during local consultations, Papua And issues for Break-out Groups? BP is being very careful with the community. We know the eyes of the world are on it...so perhaps because of that BP is working very closely with us. (villager) I dont know yet if the idea of mutual benefit is possible. All thats clear now is that BP will benefit.Our visions differ from BP, as does our understanding of the issues, so how can we have a constructive relationship? (NGO) There are two very different legal systems at work the traditional system and the national system. Which one does BP say it is respecting? (NGO) If promises are made, its taken as legally binding according to our traditional system. (villager) In ten years time, Papuans should be running the project from the engineering side of things to the social and environmental. Thats enough time to have developed local capacity, and will provide an indicator of success for BPs approach. (government official) Work of Hugh Attwater, Researcher with BP. 2000
