Original Project Development Objectives Parent The PDO is to empower local communities in poor, rural sub-districts in the project provinces to increase utilization of health andeducation services and foster accountability in local service delivery. B. Current Project Development Objectives Parent C. Proposed Project Development Objectives Additional Financing (AF) 3. Project Description In 2007 GoI launched the PNPM Generasi pilot program as part of its response to addressing certain lags in health and education outcomes. The program addresses key Government of Indonesia (GoI) priorities and Millennium Development Goals (MDGs): to reduce poverty, maternal mortality, child mortality, and to ensure universal coverage of basic education. It does so through the use of participatory planning and incentivized community block grant funds to reach targets for twelve education and health indicators. Based on the successes of the pilot, which was accompanied by a rigorous impact evaluation, GoI began scaling up PNPM Generasi in 2010 from 164 pilot sub-districts (kecamatan) to the present 369 kecamatan. The proposed Additional Financing will support the government to expand PNPM Generasi to three new provinces with low use and access of basic health and education services and above-average levels of childhood stunting: West Kalimantan, Central Kalimantan and South Sumatra. This would expand PNPM Generasi s total coverage from 3,600 villages in 369 kecamatan to approximately 6,000 villages in 500 kecamatan. The Additional Financing will expand the project to locations with poor nutrition indicators, and introduce significant design changes to improve project performance in areas identified through qualitative research, implementation support missions, and the quantitative impact evaluation. These include (a) the addition of two community level target indicators that incentivize pregnant women, mothers, fathers and caregivers to participate in enhanced nutrition counseling sessions delivered through integrated community health posts (posyandu);; (b) changes to community level education target indicators to incentivize communities to focus project resources on hard to reach school aged children, including drop outs and children with disabilities, and on the period of transition from primary school to junior secondary school; and (c) a refined gender strategy that focuses on the role of men in household level decision making on investments and behaviors related to health, nutrition, and education. The Additional Financing will support the implementation of GoI s vision of PNPM Generasi as part of an integrated, multi-sector package of demand- and supply-side interventions aimed at improving maternal and child nutrition, referred to as the Community-Based Stunting Reduction Program. PNPM Generasi s efforts at stimulating community demand for maternal and child health services will be accompanied by a series of supply-side interventions implemented by the Ministry of Health Page 2 of 9

3 (MoH), local governments, Australia s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT), and the Millennium Challenge Account-Indonesia (MCA-I), including training for health workers and community health volunteers; provision of micronutrients and height measurement equipment; a communications campaign; and community-led total sanitation (see Annex 2 for further details). This package of interventions will contribute to GoI s objectives of reducing low birth weight and the prevalence of stunting for children aged zero to two. These objectives are tracked through a Results Framework overseen by National Development Planning Agency (Bappenas) and which draws data from PNPM Generasi intermediate results and Project Development Outcome (PDO) level outcome indicators. There are no changes to the PNPM Generasi s project development objective. Likewise, fiduciary management, safeguards, and procurement arrangements would not change. The PNPM-Generasi project will retain an Environmental Category B classification. The project consists of the following components: Component 1: Kecamatan Grants (US$217.2 million, US$111.1 million in additional financing). This component will provide funding for: a) Grants to project kecamatans to finance investment activities that improve the use of, and access to, health and education services. b) Planning and preparation of sub-project proposals; and c) Training and capacity building activities for communities. Component 2: Community Empowerment and Facilitation Support (US$20 million, US$20 million in additional financing). This component will provide technical assistance for: a) Community empowerment and facilitation, including training to improve community skill levels in diagnosing and overcoming constraints to health and education service utilization; b) Strengthening community health volunteer activities; c) Improving communications with, and linkages to, local government health and education offices and service providers and communities; and d) The management of the Management Information System database. Component 3: Implementation Support and Technical Assistance (US$29.4 million, US$ 20.6 in additional financing). This component will provide funding for: a) Strengthening the management and oversight capacity of the PNPM Generasi Secretariat, including the carrying out of workshops, coordination activities with line ministries, and field supervision activities; b) Technical assistance for health and education planning and database management, including the financing of salaries, travel and field supervision costs of PNPM Generasi National Specialists and PNPM Generasi Provincial Specialists; and c) Training for Facilitators, PNPM Generasi National Specialists and PNPM Generasi Provincial Specialists at all levels of program delivery, including refresher training for existing facilitators and specialists, pre-service training for new facilitators and specialists, specialized training for district database operators, and regional evaluation workshops.

Project location and salient physical characteristics relevant to the safeguard analysis (if known) PNPM Generasi currently operates in eight provinces (West Java, East Java, North Sulawesi, West Nusa Tenggara (NTB), East Nusa Tenggara (NTT), Maluku, Gorontalo and West Sulawesi). The Additional Financing will expand PNPM Generasi to three new provinces: West Kalimantan, Central Kalimantan and South Sumatra, bringing total program coverage to approximately 6,000 villages in 500 rural kecamatans. The project primarily finances social investments in education and health, with a relatively small percentage, less than 10 percent, used to construct or rehabilitate education and health infrastructure (e.g. early childhood development centers). The project also provides kecamatan grants to support sub-district and village level planning processes, including the provision of training and technical inputs to strengthen planning and implementation readiness. Planning includes a simple, community assessment of environmental impact where infrastructure projects are proposed. Overall safeguards compliance has been rated as Satisfactory in the latest project implementation status and results report. PNPM Generasi will continue to use the 2012 PNPM-Rural Implementation Guidelines for Social and Environmental Safeguards (IGSES) as its safeguards instrument. IGSES is based on implementation experience of both, PNPM-Rural and PNMP Generasi. The IGSES also includes good-practice principles for the indigenous peoples participation. 5.

5 Projects in Disputed Areas OP/BP 7.60 No II. Key Safeguard Policy Issues and Their Management A. Summary of Key Safeguard Issues 1. Describe any safeguard issues and impacts associated with the proposed project. Identify and describe any potential large scale, significant and/or irreversible impacts: This project will not create any large-scale, significant, or irreversible environmental or social impacts, therefore the safeguard issues and impacts associated directly with the proposed project are insignificant, reversible, and site-specific. Mitigation measures are carried out through community participation and community-based sub-project management. Safeguards guidelines for PNPM-Generasi are contained in the Implementation Guidelines for Social and Environmental Safeguards (IGSES) developed under the PNPM-Rural program, which is an annex to the operations manual (PTO). The IGSES was revised during the preparation and appraisal of PNPM-Rural to reflect recent lessons in implementing environmental and social safeguards, the set of environmental code of practices for rural infrastructure as well as health and safety standards for community sub-projects. Environmental Assessment: PNPM Generasi investments are primarily social investments in education and health. From 2007 to 2011, investments in health and education infrastructure averaged less than $2,500 per village. These investments are small, discrete, and non-cumulative. As the umbrella program PNPM-Rural covers all rural sub-districts in the country with a wide range of activities proposed by communities, it is anticipated that there could be environmental impacts, and therefore PNPM-Rural triggers the Bank s policy on Environmental Assessment. In the sub-districts where PNPM Generasi operates, a team of three sub-district facilitators two specialize in community empowerment and one is a civil engineer assists local communities to identify, plan, design, and implement sub-projects that improve community access to health and education services. Technical sub-district facilitators, with the support and oversight from district technical consultants, are trained to assist communities to screen for possible environmental and social impacts. If environmental impacts are anticipated, facilitators provide guidance to the communities for developing and implementing measures to address and mitigate them. Measures for mitigating negative impacts are included in the revised PNPM Generasi operations manual (PTO), which includes the IGSES, training procedures, field supervision and Safeguards criteria that consultant civil engineers use to screen sub-projects. Indigenous Peoples: Indonesian communities covered by the World Bank's policy on indigenous people can generally be classified in two categories: a) Masyarakat Adat (MA)/ Adat communities/ customary law communities. These are based on lineage or locality and are bound by customary law. Characteristics of these communities include: (i) self-identification as a distinct indigenous cultural group, (ii) collective attachment to ancestral territories and to the natural resources in the territories; and (iii) customary cultural, economic, social, or political institutions. b) Komunitas Adat Terpencil (KAT)/ Isolated and Vulnerable communities (IVPs). This is a Page 5 of 9

6 government-designated category of customary law communities that live in isolated areas. The characteristics attributed to these communities include: (i) collective attachment to ancestral territories and to the natural resources in the territories; (ii) customary cultural, economic, social, or political institutions; (iii) an indigenous language. They are also identified by government as: (i) having a subsistence economy, (ii) using simple tools and technology, (iii) having a high dependence on the environment and local natural resources, and (iv) having restricted access to social, economic, and political services. The implementing agency should screen locations using the list of geographical distribution of IVPs (based on Komunitas Adat Terpencil or KAT ) in Indonesia, as presented in the "EGIMap - Strengthening IPs Screening in Indonesia", 2010, World Bank. The PNPM Generasi Program Secretariat in PMD will use this as a reference for carrying out the screening in PNPM Generasi locations. The Program Secretariat will ensure that the list is disseminated to provincial, district, and kecamatan consultants and facilitators. In locations in which IVPs are present, kecamatan facilitators will ensure that the standard social mapping process applies cultural criteria to identify IVPs and involving them in program planning, decision-making, and implementation processes as stipulated in the IGSES. PNPM-Rural, of which PNPM Generasi is a part, has already utilizied good-practice principles for indigenous peoples participation and involvement, including: recruitment of and tailored training for facilitators from the same ethnic groups; the use of local languages where needed; independent reviews by socio-cultural specialists; and modifications to the planning process to ensure free prior and informed consultations with broad community support. PNPM Generasi benefits from the work by PNPM-Rural to further strengthen the capacity of program facilitators to address IP concerns through additional facilitator training, and screening of locations for indigenous peoples. Furthermore, due to non-participation of some isolated communities in PNPM-Rural, a rapid social assessment was carried out during the preparation of PNPM , and the IGSES has been updated to take the recommendations into account. Land Donations: There is no involuntary acquisition of land or involuntary resettlement in PNPM Rural and PNPM Generasi., whether financed by loans, grants, or other sources. The IGSES contains detailed procedures to regulate the planning, documentation and verification procedures for voluntary donation and voluntary donation with compensation. All land requirements for project activities will be done through land donations and under the community consent with appropriate informed consent and documentation. There is no possibility of the use of eminent domain and persons have the right to refuse to donate or be compensated for their land. The compensation provided to individuals for land donation are given by the community on a voluntary basis as a gift not as a market or replacement value compensation payment for the acquisition or transfer of the land. Gender: PNPM Generasi is designed to specifically engage women as participants in program planning and decision making and respond to women s basic needs by increasing access to health and education services. The project MIS shows that women have been the dominant participants in village-level participatory planning and decision-making (averaging over 60% of participants since 2007). Under the proposed project, PNPM Generasi s target beneficiaries would continue to be pregnant women and those who have recently given birth, children under five, and primary school-aged children. PMD will work to expand engagement of the entire community in issues of maternal and child health, notably husbands and caregivers (e.g., grandparents and other extended family members) through partnerships with local civil society organizations and local health Page 6 of 9

7 facilities. The PNPM-Generasi project will retain an Environmental Category B classification. 2. Describe any potential indirect and/or long term impacts due to anticipated future activities in the project area: There are no potential significant long-term adverse impacts triggered by this project. Mitigation against any negative impacts can be managed through community-based approaches with good engineering design and construction practices. 3. Describe any project alternatives (if relevant) considered to help avoid or minimize adverse impacts. N/A 4. Describe measures taken by the borrower to address safeguard policy issues. Provide an assessment of borrower capacity to plan and implement the measures described. As a special program of PNPM-Rural, all updated safeguards policies and mitigating measures defined in the IGSES are applicable and will be enforced through PNPM Generasi and are updated from time to time based on safeguards recommendations that emerge from joint World Bank and Government implementation support missions. For PNPM Generasi, the GOI updated the existing safeguards guidelines and included the revised IGSES (2012) as a supplement to the PNPM Generasi Operations Manual (PTO). Disclosure is Mandatory. The PNPM Rural and PNPM Generasi Operations Manuals, including the IGSES, are disclosed in Bahasa Indonesia on the PNPM-Rural website or.id/. An executive summary of the IGSES in English is available through the Bank s InfoShop. Additional English-language material is available upon request. A recent thematic safeguards support mission has found that PMD needs to increase its effort to disseminate the IGSES and provide more effective training for the facilitators. This will be monitored during project implementation. The mission also reviewed the effectiveness of cooperation with PNPM-Rural consultants and facilitators to ensure the quality of the initial screening and mitigation processes conducted at the village, sub-district and district levels. Facilitators receive a 21-day pre-service training prior to deployment, as well as an annual nine day refresher training. The pre-service and refresher trainings include sessions on safeguards and the IGSES. These trainings were conducted for PNPM Generasi facilitators in October 15 21, 2012 and November 1-9, 2012 and again in November and December The training modules have been updated to comply with the latest IGSES version (2012). 5. Identify the key stakeholders and describe the mechanisms for consultation and disclosure on safeguard policies, with an emphasis on potentially affected people. The key stakeholders and decision makers are villagers in rural areas. PNPM-Rural/PNPM Generasi social and environmental objectives and procedures are explained at inter-village meetings and during community-level trainings for village facilitators and for the TPKs (Village Implementation Teams). There are several ways in which PNPM-Rural/PNPM Generasi addresses indigenous and vulnerable groups: a. Developing dissemination and facilitation materials that are culturally appropriate, in Page 7 of 9

8 collaboration with local communities; b. Using appropriate, inclusive decision-making mechanisms in environments where indigenous groups are politically and culturally marginalized, including free, prior and informed consultations leading to broad community support at the community level; c. Introducing innovative and effective ways to involve groups that tend to be excluded from traditional institutions, such as women. In PNPM Generasi, these include the mobilization of mother s groups (kolompok ibu) in each participating sub-village that are involved in project planning, counseling, and parenting activities. PMD is aware that men play a key role in determining household decisions that affect nutrition and education of children. Project facilitators therefore also make efforts to involve husbands and fathers in local nutrition and parenting counseling sessions supported by the program; d. Addressing concerns that marginalized indigenous groups are especially vulnerable to problems of elite domination and corruption. Adaptations include recruiting and training facilitators from marginalized communities, providing additional transport allowances for facilitators to reach isolated areas), employing two village facilitators (one man and one woman) in all locations who are trained and mentored to gradually take charge of village planning and accountability meetings, proposal writing, and oversight. Participatory consultation takes place in the form of inter-village, village, and sub-village meetings. Environmental and social screening and mitigation measures are identified and agreed among the beneficiaries during the preparation of the sub-project proposals and discussed during community meetings. The need and mechanisms for obtaining land (although rare in PNPM Generasi) are identified and agreed upon by program participants through the consultation process during the preparation of subproject proposals. Facilitation and verification of these processes, as presented in the IGSES, are documented in sub-project proposals by project facilitators, though the quality of documentation needs to be improved and will be closely monitored through PNPM Generasi.
