BACKGROUND

USAID’s
five year “Adaptasi Perubahan Iklim dan Ketangguhan” (APIK) Project supports
the Government of Indonesia to strengthen climate and disaster resilience,
working in an integrated manner from the national level down to the regional
and community levels. In support of this overall objective, APIK seeks to:

•           Mainstream climate change adaptation
and disaster risk reduction into national and sub-national governance
frameworks;

•           Build the capacity of local
communities and the private sector to address climate change and
weather-related natural hazards; and

•           Support the use of information for
climate and disaster risk management among key stakeholders.

At
the national level, APIK provides technical assistance to national level
ministries to strengthen their understanding of climate change (including
climate variability) and the impact of weather-related natural disasters, and
to mainstream tools and approaches that facilitate the systematic consideration
of climate change adaptation (CCA) and disaster risk reduction (DRR) in their
core planning, budgeting, and operations as well as monitoring and evaluation.
Given the cross-cutting nature of CCA/DRR, APIK works with economy-wide agencies—such
as the Ministry of Planning (BAPPENAS) and the National Disaster Management
Agency (BNPB)—as well as technical ministries such as  Environment and Forestry (KLHK), Marine
Affairs and Fisheries (KKP), Energy and Mineral Resources (MEMR),  Public Works and Public Housing (PUPERA),
Agrarian and Spatial Planning, and Agriculture (Kementan).

At
the sub-national level, APIK seeks to build the capacity of local governments in
East Java, Southeast Sulawesi, and Maluku to address CCA & DRR through
planning and operations, public outreach, and the institutionalization of
resilience-building practices in day-to-day activities. With a regional office
located in the respective provinces, the Project works in targeted landscapes
with the communities on the front lines of climate change and disaster
resilience in the target districts to implement measures and link those
measures to the relevant government processes in a holistic systems approach.

Crosscutting
the national and sub-national levels, APIK further seeks to mainstream CCA/DRR

into the private sector as well as the improved uptake and utilization of
relevant climate vulnerability and climate risk,  climate and weather information (CWI)
services. Private sector engagement is critical to addressing shared economic
risks and livelihoods, while improved climate and weather information services
empower public and private institutions alike to better prepare for and respond
to climate and disaster risk.
