3 01.a Opening & Introduction #3

4 Round Table Introductions Kindly indicate: Your agency/institutions and work position. Do you have any experience with SEA / Planning? If so, please specify. What is role of your agency / institution regarding the MP3EI planning? #4

5 Why We Need SEA (1) SEA: Analyses the environmental and health effects of proposed development Brings stakeholders opinions/input into planning Inform planners, decision-makers and other stakeholders of likely effects / issues Suggest measures to mitigate adverse effects SEA supports the preparation and implementation of good quality planning documents SEA ensures that sustainability considerations inform & are integrated into planning and decision-making SEA ensures that economic planning is consistent with environmental obligations and policy (e.g. Climate change, Biodiversity) #5

6 Why We Need SEA (2) SEA makes good Political / Business sense: Improves competitiveness and potentially reduces costs Increases transparency and reduces risk for proponents/investors Reduces the timeframes for project finance approval Is consistent with trend amongst international donor / lending institutions #6

7 SEA in Indonesia SEA development started in 2007 Existing legal and methodological framework [Law Number 32 Year 2009 Environmental Protection and Management, Article 15 paragraph (1) and paragraph (2)] Between SEAs conducted so far More than 100 SEAs supported from national budget 28 pilots funded by Danida (e.g. ESP2) Room for enhancing the SEA practice in terms of: Improved analytical work and substantiation of SEA results Broadening / improving stakeholder involvement and participation Better communication of SEA inputs to planners and decision-makers Actually implementing SEA results in planning and decision-making #7

8 Objectives of MP3EI Baseline Data Workshop To introduce the MP3EI SEA Project and outline further steps and activities To kick-start the MP3EI Economic Corridor (EC) SEAs and obtain: Relevant baseline data and information information on ongoing and planned developments #8

9 01.b MP3EI SEA Project Implementation & Deliverables #9

10 Project Background Request to Royal Danish Embassy to support Connectivity Working Group of KP3EI in Bappenas with addressing sustainability short-comings in MP3EI / associated Economic Corridors via ESP3 DHI/Integra Consortium awarded to carry out : MP3EI Policy Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) 6 MP3EI Economic Corridor SEAs Information database / management system Capacity building (Stakeholder Consultation) Key goal to align MP3EI with sustainability goals and provide input for Mid Term Development Plan (RPJMN) #10

11 The Project and Its Team DHI / Integra Project team includes: Project Management Team Technical Experts Economic Corridor Assessment Teams Supporting Pool of Experts #11

12 MP3EI SEA Project Output Generalized steps in SEA preparation include pre-scoping, scoping, and analysis and reporting Other Requirements occur throughout SEA execution steps, e.g.: Stakeholder participation occurs throughout Database/ information mgmt. occurs on a continual basis Capacity building is aligned with stakeholder participation #12

13 Summary of Scheduling Inception SEA MP3EI J J A S O N D J F M A M J J Prescoping Scoping/ workshop Analysis and draft reporting Final Analysis / workshop SEA 6 ECs Prescoping inc. baseline data collection/ workshops Scoping/ workshops Analysis and reporting/ workshops Database and information system Capacity building #13

14 MP3EI SEA Policy Work Plan Step 1: Focus on 22 main economic activities & National Connectivity Framework Key expert analysis of linkages between Identified key environmental/social Issues and MP3EI economic activities Strong inclusion of economic and legal analyses Continue consultation with GOI stakeholders Step 2: Revisit original draft analysis Update based on more thorough analysis results from EC SEAs #14

15 MP3EI EC SEAs: General Work Plan Determine key issues Identify key issues for whole of Indonesia and then specific issues for each corridor to ensure focused assessment Baseline analysis Analyse spatial patterns, location of sensitive areas, trends in indicators over time and development scenario without MP3EI. Stakeholder consultation Scoping Select key strategic issues in each corridor based on results of baseline analysis. Stakeholder consultation Evaluate impacts of EC plans Evaluate impacts of planned economic sectors and specific projects listed in MP3EI. Formulate mitigation measures Formulate mitigation measures to address adverse impacts and enhance positive impacts. Focus on KSNs and provincial development plans.. Draft Report Summarise findings and conclusions and provide overview of consultations with stakeholders. Stakeholder consultation #15

16 Economic Analysis Input Principle/approach for economic analysis of MP3EI SEAs: Typically externalized environmental / social costs of the policy/plans should not exceed typically calculated financial returns Apply environmental economics to assess these costs MP3EI Policy SEA General analysis (e.g. case studies), of externalised costs associated with 22 main economic activities & major infrastructure developments MP3EI EC SEAs More detailed analysis of potential externalised costs related to Economic Corridor Plans #16

17 02. Pre-scoping & the Baseline #17

18 Expected MP3EI SEA Pre-scoping Outputs Pre-scoping is the initial stage of EC SEA focused on: Obtaining available baseline data and information at the provincial level Understanding of MP3EI planning in the ECs and the links to provincial planning scheme Pre-scoping shall result in An initial description of the key/particularly sensitive baseline features of the ECs Preliminary identification of the potential key environmental and social issues The provision of preliminary feedback on how these issues can be addressed in the MP3EI and/or RPJMN planning #18

19 The Importance of Baseline Data/Information for SEA (1) Without an adequate understanding of baseline conditions it is impossible to carry out a proper and credible SEA! Baseline data collection aims at: identifying sensitive environmental & social receptors Uncovering existing environment & social concerns (incl. associated trends{related to autonomous planning}) Ultimately forms the basis for allowing planners / experts to analyse and avoid environmental and social conflicts through sustainable planning #19

20 The Importance of Baseline Data/Information for SEA (2) Provincial Planning is on-going or in various stages of approval This autonomous planning affects the baseline situation and needs to be considered in SEA analysis #20

21 The Importance of Data/Information for SEA (3) Taken together, various levels of planning can lead to spatial conflict or cumulative impacts which can be avoided in both levels of planning #21

22 The Importance of Data/Information for SEA (4) Using different environmental receptors (i.e. critical ecological areas, socio-cultural, socioeconomics), the availability of relevant baseline features will help to identify the likely conflicts as well as to provide a basis on avoiding or minimizing the adverse impacts through better planning (both national or provincial) Sample of baseline analysis KSN Selat Sunda SEA (sociocultural receptor) #22

23 MP3EI: Conceptual Database and Information Systems #23

24 Examples of Available National Data-sets See illustration Content Data Format Data Characteristics Source Marine Conservation Area Shapefile (GIS data) Type of MCA, biodiversity, area Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries Conservation Area Shapefile (GIS data) Biodiversity, total area, type of conservation area Ministry of Forestry Land Cover Shapefile (GIS data) Map of Indonesia Land Cover 2006, 2009, 2011 Ministry of Forestry Deforestation Shapefile (GIS data) Indonesia deforestation map , , ; total area Ministry of Forestry Protected species distribution Map Shapefile (GIS data) time series map, estimated number of species Ministry of Forestry Poverty rates Excel GDP rates, ratio of unemployment Social conflict related to economic activities (mining, plantation, tourism) development Over 20 relevant data sets available... BPS, BAPPENAS, Coordinating Ministry for Social Affairs, TNP2K (available/downloadable on website) Shapefile (GIS data) number of cases, location Jakstra (Ministry of Home Affairs) #24

25 Additional Information Needed from the EC s The primary target is all provincial planning within ECs i.e. Spatial Plans (RTRW) and related shape files Long-Term Development Plans (RPJPD) and Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJMD) If any of these plans is currently under preparation, the incomplete information is sufficient for the MP3EI SEA In addition, any available information and data on environmental and social issues (spatial, matrixes, time-series) shall be gathered (review data request table ) #25

26 Technical Specifications of Data Transfer All spatial data are requested to be in shape (shp) format, which can be transferred through CD, floppy disk or (if possible) to: Sekretariat Konektivitas MP3EI (Bappenas) Jl. Taman Suropati No.2 Gedung Madiun Lantai 3 mp3ei@bappenas.go.id (Tel: ) Other types of information can be transferred in digital format or hardcopy via the same method Timing for submission: 2 weeks #26

27 Round Table Discussion on Availability of Additional Data What data or information are available with you? What is the status of your Provincial planning? Is the provincial planning information digitally available in the requested format? Do you have additional geospatial environment or social information (i.e. above that of the national datasets) relevant to MP3EI EC SEA? Do you have additional general environment or social information (i.e. provincial status reports{slhd}, statistics, etc.) relevant to MP3EI EC SEA? #27

28 03. Hands-on Baseline Data Collection #28

29 Overview of Existing National/EC Strategic Issues A preliminary overview of existing National/EC Strategic issues was prepared to: Help determine specific topics, concerns and problems relevant to EC Help identify data and information available as well as further needed Assist in identifying stakeholders to be further involved in SEA procedures Preliminary overview presents the basis for consultations, feedback from the pre-scoping consultations will be taken into account in baseline / scoping stages. See handout #29

30 Assignment for Group Work Based on preliminary overview of main issues: Identify relevant data and information sources Determine which existing specific problems and concerns should be further analysed in Sulawesi EC SEA Group work instructions: Spilt into groups Execute EC tables Indicate location / spatial extent of existing environmental and social issues on a map Present main conclusions #30

31 Topics for Plenary Discussion What is the spatial dimension of key concerns and problems? What are existing and planned MP3EI projects in provinces? Can these be localised? What are other major ongoing/to-be-implemented projects (out of MP3EI) and what is their location? Summary of what data and information are available? #31

32 04. More on SEA #32

33 Guiding Principles of SEA Undertaken by the authority responsible for planning Applied as early as possible in decision-making process Focused on key issues Evaluates reasonable range of alternatives Provides appropriate opportunities for involvement of key stakeholders & the public Carried out with appropriate, cost-effective methods & techniques of analysis #33

34 Usual SEA Steps 1. Baseline analysis - scoping Determination of key issues that should be considered within the SEA process Analysis of key issues i.e. past evolution, current situation and likely future evolution if the plan or programme is not implemented 2. Assessment of effects of the plan or programme on the key issues and development of mitigation measures (including monitoring scheme) 3. Compilation of the SEA Report and its submission for consultations with environmental and health authorities and the public 4. Taking information generated in SEA into due account in decisionmaking and explaining decision in publicly accountable manner #34

35 SEA & Planning Planning analyzes and proposes development interventions SEA examines individual outputs of the planning process and it may propose any necessary amendments Optimally, SEA should be carried out in parallel with planning, when The lead process is the planning process, and SEA fits into the logic and steps of the planning process Thus, both processes can be seen as mutually reinforcing tools within one robust planning system for more sustainable development #35

36 Common Linkages between Planning & SEA #36

37 MP3EI SEA Approaches 1. MP3EI SEAs must be carried out via an ex-post assessment (see figure) 2. Baseline data collection to focus on obtaining / integrating GOI spatial data sets 3. Due to inherent link between MP3EI Policy Economic Corridor Plans - Policy SEA to be carried out in 2 steps 4. Given the potential magnitude of stakeholders, actual consultation shall consist of: Selective formal consultation meetings Opportunistic informal consultation #37

38 Link between SEA and EIA SEA is not a mega-eia, it should not duplicate EIAs. It ideally covers strategic issues of concern that cannot be effectively addressed through project-level decision-making SEA should support efficient EIA application by providing guidelines for subsequent EIAs e.g. Identify specific issues to be investigated in detail within EIA Propose optimal location (or no-go areas ) within wider territory Highlight likely cumulative impacts with other projects to be considered within EIA #38

39 Common Myths on SEA (1) Myth 1 SEA requires detailed analyses which may not be appropriate for a given planning document Good practice the level of detailed information and analysis provided in the SEA should correspond to that of the planning document, this should be determined as part of the scoping process and consultations #39

40 Common Myths on SEA (2) Myth 2 SEA poses significant additional costs and prolongs the planning process Good practice SEA needs to be properly linked to the planning process and carried out in an ex-ante manner Cooperation of planning and SEA experts helps to optimize and share the data generated Expert capacities of GOI agencies should be utilized #40

41 Common Myths on SEA (3) Myth 3 SEA will decide on the plan or programme Good practice SEA has not been designed as a decision-making tool SEA shall provides information on likely environmental and health impacts to be caused by the decision SEA conclusions, however, have to be considered in the decision (and further on during the plan or programme implementation) #41

42 Common Myths on SEA (4) Myth 4 4 SEA it a tool of environmental authorities Good practice SEA has been originally designed to support planning process and as such it is mainly tool for planners SEA process shall, however, provide a platform for consultations with environmental and health authorities #42

43 Identified MP3EI SEA Windows of Opportunity (1) 1. Early (ex ante) dissemination of MP3EI SEA (Policy & EC) recommendations into Medium Term Development Plan (RPJMN) (see figure) input and binding associated Presidential Decree 2. Via Provision of ex ante feedback (see figure) Promotion of future integrated PPP development for Bappenas / KP3EI Provision of suggestions for future M3PEI revisions 3. Provision of recommendations for Greening institutional or legal structures, where MP3EI analyses clearly illustrate weaknesses #43

44 Identified MP3EI SEA Windows of Opportunity (2) 4. Since MP3EI Economic Corridor Plans are closely linked to KSN and Provincial planning: Opportunity to provide guidelines for sustainable planning at these levels 5. Since MP3EIA EC Plans entail significant Projects Opportunity to provide bridging recommendations for sustainable execution of certain projects / initiatives 6. Stronger emphasis on missed Climate Change Opportunities 7. Achieve greater sustainability synergy in RPJMN input, via cooperation with KLH #44

45 The Next Task.Scoping! Determine key issues Identify key issues for whole of Indonesia and then specific issues for each corridor to ensure focused assessment Baseline analysis Analyse spatial patterns, location of sensitive areas, trends in indicators over time and development scenario without MP3EI. Stakeholder consultation Scoping Select key strategic issues in each corridor based on results of baseline analysis. Stakeholder consultation Evaluate impacts of EC plans Evaluate impacts of planned economic sectors and specific projects listed in MP3EI. Formulate mitigation measures Formulate mitigation measures to address adverse impacts and enhance positive impacts. Focus on KSNs and provincial development plans.. Draft Report Summarise findings and conclusions and provide overview of consultations with stakeholders. Stakeholder consultation #45

46 Scoping the Next Level of Analysis A pivotal stage of SEA execution for targeting impact analysis Review (stakeholder and expert) of the PPP verse baseline It should result in: Identification of key issues Solid feedback to planners for adjusting PPPs Scoping is, however, not sufficient to pinpoint and further define implementable mitigation measures to PPPs Requirement to undertake further analysis to verify key issues and understand the nature of the associated risks and opportunities #46

47 Example of Scoping Output (1)... Identification of, for example, key issues in Bangka Belitung Province Tin Mining Slow reclamation of tin ex-mining sites Illegal tin mining Employing underage mining workers Human Health and Livelihood Water Increasing level of radiation resulting from tin ore processing Increasing turbidity in river waters due to mining activities Worsening quality of freshwater and sea due to municipal waste Water shortage during dry season Social conflicts due to off-shore mining Changes of the labor force composition and population migration leading to economic disparities #47

48 Example of Scoping Output (2) #48
