Process and activities

The following activities have been undertaken by the NCEA to develop EIA/SEA capacity in Indonesia:

  • Input for UNEP on the role of SEA in operation of the 'Rehabilitation and Reconstruction for the Region and Community of Aceh and Nias', following the 2004 tsunami;
  • Support to mainstreaming of environmental concerns in development plans and awareness-raising for SEA;

The NCEA also issued an independent advice on a ToR for EIA for the Jakarta Urgent Flood Mitigation Project and Recommendations for Good Practice EIA in Indonesian Tin Mining.

Results

The various activities undertaken in Indonesia each have their own results. Activities with UNEP, for example, have improved cooperation and knowledge exchange with UNEP's Disaster Management Branch. Activities with Walhi improved understanding between the NGO and government representatives on EIA priorities, and resulted in an action plan for Walhi to support EIA practice. SEA capacity and awareness of Bappenas and KLH were improved, specifically concerning application of SEA in the planning process.
