Executive Summary

Executive Summary This report provides a rapid district readiness assessment (RDRA) of the capacity, commitment, and investment opportunities of Pelalawan District, Riau Province, to support environmentally sustainable and low-carbon economic growth through the MCA-Indonesia Green Prosperity Program (GPP). This assessment included a field visit from August 19 to 27, 2015. The objectives of this rapid assessment were to assess the level of readiness of Pelalawan District for GPP activities, specifically: political conditions; institutional capacity; participatory land use planning, regulatory frameworks; social and gender analysis; and required conditions under the Millennium Challenge Compact. The results of this assessment will be used to allow the three districts in Riau to sign MoUs with MCA-Indonesia for project implementation. Pelalawan is located approximately 60 km from the city of Pekanbaru (the capital city of Riau Province), which is approximately 1.5 hours travel by vehicle. The population of Pelalawan was 386,428 in 2013, with an average population growth between 2012 and 2013 of 6.71% per year. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) calculation (based on constant prices set in 2000) shows GDP growth of Pelalawan District in 2013 was 7.07%. The GDP (in year 2000 prices) was IDR 3,768.19 billion in 2012, and increased to IDR 4,033.53 billion in 2013. Economic growth in the year 2013 was supported by positive growth in all sectors. The economic sector with the highest GDP growth was the services sector, which grew by 10.46%, while the lowest growth occurred in the agriculture sector, which grew by 5.20%. The industry sector is the largest contributor to GDP (52.44%), followed by agriculture (37.7%), and the trade sector (3.81%). The smallest contribution was from the mining sector (0.06%). Pelalawan has potential renewable resources to support sustainable development. Potential renewable resources for GPP development in Pelalawan are in the agriculture and forestry sector, namely plantations (palm oil and rubber), rice, horticulture, and forest resources. Other sectors that may be important for GPP include new and renewable energy such as solar electricity, wind electricity, biomass electricity, biogas electricity, and hydroelectricity. Additionally, natural resources in Pelalawan offer potential for sustainable ecotourism. Based on the scoring criteria set for the DRA, Pelalawan District received 46 of the possible 66 points (69.7%), a moderate score. The aspects that received low scores were: political analysis (potential land use conflict), institutional analysis (other donor funded/NGO on low-emission development), participatory land use planning, and regulatory aspects (the lack of a PES program and the lack of local government incentives for green development). This is a potential investment area for MCA-Indonesia in Pelalawan. Pelalawan District has not conducted participatory boundary mapping (PLUP Task#1). Furthermore, Pelalawan is still reviewing its spatial plan due to discrepancies between the district map and the map from Ministry of Environment and Forestry. This indicates that Pelalawan will require capacity buiding in acquiring the latest spatial data (Task#2), obtaining updated maps of forestry and mining licenses/concessions (Task #3), as well as improving human resource in geospatial analysis (Task #4). In relation to Participatory Land Use Planning (PLUP), Pelalawan District requires the complete PLUP package consisting of Task#1 to #4.

Section 1 Introduction

Section 1 Introduction 1.1

Background

MCA-Indonesia, under the Green Prosperity Project (GPP), has pre-selected 12 districts (including three districts within Riau province) as target areas for project investments of renewable energy development through commercial scheme. Prior to proceeding with the GPP in these districts, their readiness to host GPP activities must be assessed to determine which district has the greatest readiness, based on specific criteria set by MCA-Indonesia that include: appropriate capacity, commitment, and investment opportunities to support environmentally sustainable and low-carbon economic growth. The rapid District Readiness Assessments (RDRA) are intended to ensure that these targeted districts can effectively support GPP activities, and to prepare these three districts for signing of Memoranda of Understanding (MOU) with MCA-Indonesia. These RDRAs are undertaken by the Project Management Consultant (PMC) supporting MCA-Indonesia. This report represents the first rapid RDRA undertaken for the GPP by PMC, for Pelalawan District, Riau Province.

Section 2 Methodology

Section 2 Methodology The Rapid District Readiness Assessment (DRA) consists of four major components: (1) Secondary Data Collection; (2) Readiness Analysis (using the same matrix used in the Rapid DRA in previous assessments) combined with geospatial/spatial plan analyses; (3) Strategic Environmental Assessment; and (4) stakeholder mapping/analysis based on available natural resources in each respective district. Secondary data collection focuses on compiling documents such as the long-term and medium-term development plans, District statistics (District in numbers), strategic plans from relevant district government agencies, regional strategy, Strategic Environmental Assessment, and regional strategy for reducing greenhouse gas (RAD-GRK). In addition to these documents, spatial plan maps (preferably in .shp format) were collected and compiled to improve our understanding of each respective district from a spatial planning perspective. The emphasis of the spatial plan data is to understand the context of land designation, forest cover, and natural resources. The spatial plan data collected also included data on moratorium and indigenous land ownership to allow more comprehensive analyses of relevant context in each district. 

Collection of Secondary data. Secondary data collected for Pelalawan District included: –

Section 3 General Description of the District 3.1

Location and Accessibility

The name Pelalawan originated from the name of the Royal Kingdom Pelalawan. The district is centered upon the Kampar River which runs through the length of the district. The kingdom was established in 1761, and was famous during the reign of Sultan Syed Abdurrahman Fachrudin (1811-1822). The last king of the Kingdom of Pelalawan was Tengku Pelalawan who ruled the kingdom from 1940 to 1945. Pelalawan (along with seven other districts/cities) was formally established under Law No. 53 in 1999 on the establishment of eight districts/cities in Riau Province, which was inaugurated by the Minister of Home Affairs on October 12, 1999 in Jakarta, and Local Government Operations on December 5, 1999. Upon original formation of the district, it consisted of four sub-districts: Langgam, Pangkalan Kuras, Bunut, and Kuala Kampar. Under its current development, there are 12 administrative sub-districts including 106 villages and 12 kelurahans. The capital city of Pelalawan District is Pangkalan Kerinci, which is located in Pangkalan Kerinci Subdistrict. Maps of Pelalawan District are presented in Appendix A. Pelalawan District is located in Riau Province on the east coast of Sumatra between 1.25' North latitude to 0.20' South latitude, and between 100.42' East longitude to 103.28' East longitude. The landscape of Pelalawan is mostly characterised by flat low-lying terrain (52% of the district) that varies in elevation between 2 and 5 meters above sea level (masl), and covers the sub-districts of Kuala Kampar, Teluk Meranti, and Pelalawan. The remaining topography of the district is flat to undulating (48%) with elevations ranging between 10 and 40 masl and covering the sub-districts of Langgam, Pangkalan Kerinci, Bandar Sei Kijang, Pangkalan Kuras, Ukui, Pangkalan Lesung, Bunut, Bandar Petalangan, and Kerumutan.

3.4.3 Low-Emission Economic Development Riau does not have a Provincial Strategic Action Plan (SRAP – Strategi Rencana Aksi Propinsi) for the implementation of REDD+. However, Pelalawan District has a strategic opportunity to contribute to greenhouse gas emission reductions as it provides a high percentage of forest cover (750,245 ha, or approximately 53.88% of the district area) and potential natural resources to support district development.

3.4.4 Renewable Natural Resources Management Potential renewable resources in Pelalawan that may support sustainable development include: 

Renewable Energy: The Mining and Energy Agency conducted a study of potential new and renewable energy development in 2014. The results of the study are as follows: –

Solar Power Plants: Solar power energy resources can be implemented in every sub-district, including remote villages. The potential of solar energy can be developed to a maximum of 2,129 KWH for every square meter everyday.

–

Wind Energy: Potential wind energy in Sungai Solok village is 125 W/m2. It will be generating 25 W/m2 using a propellor turbine. In Tanjung Ungke (Sukoi village), maximum potential wind energy is 83 W/m2, and will generate 16 W/m2 using a propellor turbine.

–

Biomass Energy: Biomass from palm oil waste (the husk) can produce 5,111,826,103.39 KWH. It can be converted into electricity energy with an efficiency of 28% (boiler, turbine and generator) and will produce 1.76 KW for 92,761 hoseholds. However, the collection of palm oil waste remains a challenge.

–

Biogas Energy: One palm oil manufacturer in Pelalawan (PT Musim Mas) operates a biogas electricity generator that utilizes liquid waste and generates 1.9 MW. If all palm oil manufacturers in Pelalawan developed the same biogas electricity generation system, the potential electricity generation would be 224.5 MW, and could provide an electricity surplus in Pelalawan district (requires 96 MW).

–

The Head of Electricity Department (Mining and Energy Agency) and Head of Forestry and Plantation explained that some of the oil palm manufacturers have plans to develop biogas electricity generators. One such manufacturer is PT Sinar Agro Raya/PT SAR (group of PT Musim Mas) in Bandar Seikijang sub district. PT SAR has initiated this project and is approximately 40% complete as of September 2015.

–

Based on an interview with Pak Sofyan, Section Head of Economic and Development of Bandar Seikijang Sub District Office, PT SAR held a meeting with the representatives of Kiap Jaya village’s communities, village government staffs, and representatives of Bandar Sekijang Sub District Office. In this meeting, PT SAR proviced information regarding their plan to develop a biogas electricity generator. Representatives from the communities expressed hope that they would benefit from this project in the form of access to the electricity generated by the project. However, details regarding the amount of electricity that will be generated, how much will be used by PT SAR itself, and how much will be distributed to communities was not clear.

–

Hydroelectric Power Plants: Potential hydroelectric power resources of Kampar river are relatively small, and only 4 W/m2 for the current water velocity of 2 m/second, and 32 W/m2 if the water velocity is increased to 0.4 m/second by some modification.

Ecotourism: –

The Pelalawan landscape has potential for the development of sustainable natural ecotourism including: Bono waves tourism in Teluk Meranti Sub-district, and Tesso Nilo National Park in Ukui Sub-district. The national park area is 83,068 ha and contains high biodiversity levels. Research by the Indonesian Science Authoirty (LIPI) in 2003 indicated that Tesso Nilo National Park contained 114 bird species, three primate species, 15 species of reptiles, 50 species of fish, and 82 species of medicinal plants. This national park also provides habitat for Sumatran Elephants (Elephas maximus) and Sumatran Tigers (Pathera tigris sumatrae).

Pelalawan District has opened its policies to the public related to licensing procedures for natural resource utilizations (forest, plantation, mining, and commerce). BAPPEDA, Forestry and Plantation, Agriculture, and Mining agencies claim to have clear information and maps for licensing procedures.

3 2 1 Score of 3 indicates that Pelalawan district has a commitment to transparent governance in the permitting processes and potential for local renewable resources to be sustainably developed. The district has set up an official website (www.pelalawankab.go.id), and most of the district agencies are open to share available data. Local regulation (PERDA/Distict Government Regulation and PERBUPs/Bupati’s Decree) related are as follows: 1. Bupati Decree No. 23/2014 regarding Delegation of Authority for signatories of the Letters of Licensing and Non Licensing to Integrated Investment and Licensing Services Agency. . 2. Bupati Decree No. 33/2014 regarding Standard Operation Procedure of Licensing and Non Licensing Services to Integrated Investment and Licensing Services Agency. 3. Bupati Decree No. 63/2014 regarding Revision of Bupati Decree No. 41/2010 regarding Implementation of e-Procurement in Government of Pelalawan District.

Critical issues include the need to improve coordination between the Integrated Investment and Licensing Services Agency with forestry and plantation, agriculture, mining, and other sectors.

Factors Determining District Readiness Commitment to low emission economic growth

Assessment

Scoring and Discussion

Riau Province does not have a strategic action plan for reducing greenhouse gas emission. Consequently, Pelalawan District does not have specific objectives on low emission economic growth. However, there are currently renewable enegy uses such as solar energy electricity generator-solar home systems in Kuala Kampar sub district (Sei Solok village 40 KW or 150 units of homes in 2013, Sei Upih village 75 KW or 511 units of homes in 2014). Other new energy utilization is biogas energy resulted from the palm oil industry for generating electricity.

3 2 1 Pelalawan scored 2 on its commitment to lowemission economic development. Although Pelalawan does not have a strategic action plan for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, they have operated alternative electricity sources for remote communities located far from the PLN electrical network in several sub-districts, namely solar energy electricity generator-solar home systems in Kuala Kampar sub district, and biogas energy electricity resulted from the palm oil industry.

Mining and Energy Agency has conducted a study of potential new and renewable energy development in 2014. The results of study are as follows: – Solar Power Plants: in every sub-district, including in remote villages. The maximum potential electricity is 2,129 KWH/m2.day. – Wind Energy: potential electricity is 25 W/m2 in Sungai Solok village and 16 W/m2 in Tanjung Ungke (Sokoi village), – Biomass Energy (palm oil waste/pelepah sawit): potential electricity produced is 1.76 KW for 92,761 hoseholds. However, the collection of oil palm waste is still become a problem. – Biogas Energy: potential energy is 224.5 MW. This is in exess of the electricity needed by Pelalawan district (96 MW).

Other considerations are related to the fact that Pelalawan Mining and Energy Agency has conducted a study of potential new and renewable energy development in 2014. Potential new and renewable energy that could be developed among others include: solar, wind, biomass, and biogas energy. Although this is primarily driven by the need for utilizing available resources for energy generation, this may become a primer to setting up a low emission scenario at a larger scale in the future.

Assessment

Scoring and Discussion

Based on interviews with Head of Sub Department of Environment and Spatial Plan/BAPPEDA, Head of Forestry and Plantation Office, Head of Environment Agency, and review of the Technical Document Pelalawan District Spatial Plan (RTRW) 2011-2031, there are indications of land conflicts between communities, palm oil or rubber plantations (or mixed plantation) and settlements. There are also conflicts between people with the forest areas, protected forest (Hutan Lindung/HL), conservation forest (Tesso Nilo National Park and wildlife preservation/Suaka Margasatwa), and production forest (Hutan Produksi /HP). This occurs as a result of expansion of communities, plantations, and settlements into forest areas.

3 2 1 Land conflicts between local communities and forestry and plantation agencies have not been resolved. Interview results indicate that the district government agencies have mechanisms in place and a commitment to reduce/resolve conflicts in Pelalawan District. However the mechanism has not been entirely effective.

Interview with Head of BAPPEDA and Head of all agencies visited indicates that BAPPEDA in Pelalawan District has the main role of coordinating, directing, and providing guidelines and assistance to all sector agencies, in order to ensure that the development plan of all sector agencies are in line with the long term development plan (RPJPD) 2005 – 2025, medium term development plan (RPJMD) 2011 - 2016, and annual development plan (RKPD). This relationship is stated implicitely in the RPJMD document. Each district agency and offices have their own strategic plan (Renstra) and annual work plan (Renja) from which they base their program implementations.

3 2 1 There are well defined links between the BAPPEDA and the sector agencies. There is formal and valid documentation to indicate how development planning in each sector agency is tied to the district development planning of BAPPEDA. Planning documents (Renstra and Renja) and performance reports (Laporan Kinerja Instansi pemerintah/Lakip) of each sector agency will be submitted to BAPPEDA.

The Pelalawan spatial plan has been consultated and approved by local parliament (DPRD), however it is not enforced by law through Regional Regulation (PERDA) as there are still differences between Pelalawan government and Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLHK).

NRM Licensing process/procedures

Non-governmental actors affecting district development

The licensing process related to mining, forestry and plantation companies, and investment follows Law No. 23/2014 on regional government. The licensing process in other sectors (trade, commerce, services, infrastructure, construction) is handled by the Integrated Investment and Licensing Services Agency. District government regulation and Bupati decree related with licensing and investment are available.

Non-governmental actors are defined as private sector and/or non-governmental organisations (NGOs) that support development in the district. NGOs are involved in the development of many sectors in Pelalawan District (especially in the environmental, plantation and forestry sectors). NGOs include WWF, Greenpeace, local non-governmental organisations (Jikalahari, Warsi, JPIK), and the University of Riau. They have been involved in projects such as developing studies related to sustainable forest management, palm oil plantations, environment, biodiversity and social development.

3 2 1 Pelalawan District follows the provincial regulation (based on Law No. 23/2014) for licensing in forestry, plantation and mining sectors. Pelalawan District currently has a formalized licensing process for other sectors through the integrated investment and licensing services agency (as enforced with the Bupati Decree No. 23/2014 regarding Delegation of Authority for signatories of the Letters of Licensing and Non Licensing to Integrated Investment and licensing services agency. Another regulation is Bupati Decree No. 33/2014 regarding Standard Operational Procedure of Licensing and Non Licensing Services for Integrated Investment and licensing services agency. District agencies (technical representations) are currently involved in issuing a recommendation letter for the licensing process.

Assessment

Scoring and Discussion

There are 12 sub-districts consisting of 104 villages and 14 Kelurahans. Many villages have conducted their own development planning forum (Musrenbangdes) which is a necessary step in administering the Village budget (APBDes). Results from Musrenbangdes are discussed at the subdistrict level at the Sub-district development planning forum (Musrenbangcam). All subdistricts have completed the Musrenbangdes by February 2015.

3 2 1 Not all sub districts in Pelalawan have experience in receiving programs from NGO and government agencies. Some villages or kelurahan receive training for cocoa farmers. However, most of the villages in Pelalawan (especially in remote areas) do not receive any assistance.

There is no record of donor funded organizations/NGO related to low-emission development, especially on renewable energy sources. Renewable energy sources (solar panels, solar home system) are supported by the ministry of mining and energy to encourage the formation of community organizations to manage these renewable energy sources.

3 2 1 From interviews with various district government agencies, it can be concluded that NGOs and/or donors have not been actively involved in lowemission development, especially on renewable energy sources.

Public participation in Pelalawan District is seen in development planning processes in villages (Musrenbangdes) and in the subdistrict (Musrenbangcam). There is a good representation of members of the communities in this process, including

Safeguards on human health, livelihood and the environment

In general, regulations concerning forest resource management and the timber industry, as well as other natural resources management, adhere to central government regulations (e.g., regulations of the ministry of environment and forestry, agriculture and plantation, mining and energy). Several district government regulations (PERDA) related to natural resources are available, including: 1. PERDA No. 16/2003 regarding Wood Utilization Permit in Private/community Forest and Land owned. 2. PERDA No. 4/2004 regarding Electricity Power Management. 3. PERDA No. 6/2004 regarding Determination of Plantation Boundary Area. 4. PERDA No. 10/2004 regarding Licensing and Registration of Husbandry. 5. PERDA No. 12/2004 regarding Licensing of Plantation. 6. PERDA No. 19/2007 regarding Licensing of Deep Water and Surface Water Management.

3 2 1 A licensing process for natural resources management is established following Law No. 23/2014 on local government and relevant maps. Pelalawan currently has one-stop permitting services under the Integrated Investment and Licensing Services Agency. However, principle license is still under the district’s secretariat and district government division authority. The technical agencies (e.g., Forestry, plantation, and mining) only have the authority to give recommendation letters. Furthermore, coordination across district agencies and the integrated licensing service needs to be strengthened.

Health facilities available in Pelalawan consist of four public hospitals, three in Pangkalan Kerinci Sub-district and one in Pangkalan Kuras Sub-district. As well, there is one community health center in each sub-district, and one to six (1-6) subsidiary health centers/PUSTU) in all sub-districts. Other health facilities available were: 76 village

Local government incentives for green investment

Pelalawan District also has a government water company (PDAM) that supplies clean water to residences in 12 Sub-districts. However, only a small percentage of the population in Pelalawan is supplied. The highest percentage was 5.38% in the Pangkalan Kerinci sub-district, and the lowest percentage was 0.78% in the Bandar Seikijang Sub-district. Based on interviews with heads of district agencies, including the head of the Environment Agency, there are no initiatives for PES in Pelalawan district, or related local regulations (PERDA and PERBUP). Pelalawan district has potential to develop PES, as Pelalawan region contains one watershed (Kampar river) and a vast swamp peat land area with both status, protected (Lindung Gambut/LG) and conservation (Suaka Margasatwa/SM). However, these natural resources have not been clearly linked with PES. Based on an interview with Head of Environment Agency, there are no specific incentives provided by the district government for any green investment or lower-emission development for Pelalawan District.

In general, participation of women in district government institutions is not clear as gender-specific workforce data are not available. The most vulnerable groups in Pelalawan are people who live in poverty (46,370 people or approximately 12% of the total population in 2013). From an interview with the Head of Sosial, Manpower and Transmigration Agency, Community Empowerment and Villages Government (BPMPD), there were several programs implemented to assist these vulnerable groups, including: 1) Increasing the capacity of village government staff, 2) Increasing community participation in village development, 3) Accellerating village infrastructure development, and 4) Accellerating village electricity development.

The decrease in this vulnerable group (using percentage of poor people in Pelalawan as an indicator) from 18.63% in 2008 to 12% in 2013 indicates the effects of the implementation of poverty alleviation programs. This will be consistent with the mandate of the GPP. Programs need to be strengthened by better data on vulnerable groups.

Assessment Spatial Plan has been approved by local parliament but has not been reviewed by provincial government, as there are still some differences in the spatial plan with the environment and forestry ministry (MoEF). Pelalawan District provides open access to data and information to support local economic development. The e-Government Management Information System on the district website provides access to information. The district agencies are also open to data sharing. Most of the area in Pelalawan District is forested, and some of those forest areas are designated as Protected Forests, Conservation Forest, and Production Forest. The district is located in an important watershed area that is important for agriculture, and it contains peat swamp areas that are important for supporting the environment. The district is known as a major producer of forest plantation products (pulp and paper) as well as palm oil plantations and the associated processing industry. This has attracted international support from NGOs and the private sector. This has provided local constituents in the district with experience in sustainable forestry and plantation practices. In addition, the district also offers potential for forestry, new and renewable energy development and PES. Various renewable energy scenarios have been implemented in Pelalawan District involving various natural resource potentials (solar, wind and biomass). Despite the presence of a large watershed (Kampar River), hydroelectric potential is not as vast as the above mentioned sources.

Section 5 Conclusions

Section 5 Conclusions Based on the prescribed Rapid DRA criteria described in Section 4, Pelalawan District scored 46 (69.7%) out of the possible maximum 66 points. This is a moderate score and indicates the district has some degree of commitments in place to take advantage of, and benefit from GPP investment. The aspects that received low scores were: political analysis (potential land use conflict), institutional analysis (other donor funded/NGO on low-emission development), participatory land use planning, and regulatory aspects (a lack of a PES program and the lack of local government incentives for green development). No district regulation (PERDA) or Bupati Decree (PERBUP) contains provisions for incentives and disinsentives in direct reference to green development. This is a potential area of intervention for MCA-Indonesia in Pelalawan. Pelalawan District received high scores in Government Transparency Policies, Bappeda and Sector Agencies, and Public Participation (3 of a possible 3 points for each indicator). The district government has expressed great interest in the GPP and anticipates the next step of the program. Pelalawan District has proposed to strengthen the potential for new and renewable energy development for electrical power. The development plan for Pelalawan District includes optimizing forestry, plantation, agro-industry, and agriculture with respect to the available local resources. A total of 8% of the district area is already designated as conservation forest, 42% for production forest, and 26% for palm oil plantations. Furthermore, the district includes a watershed catchment area and peat swamp area. Sustainable management of this catchement area is crucial to supporting agriculture practices in Pelalawan district. The greatest potential to improve socio-economic conditions in Pelalawan District would result from creating sustainable partnernships in low-emission energy sources (solar panel, wind, biomass, and biogass power generation). Pelalawan District has not conducted participatory boundary mapping (PLUP Task#1). Furthermore, Pelalawan is currently reviewing the spatial plan due to discrepancies between the district map and the map from Ministry of Environment and Forestry. This indicates that Pelalawan will require capacity buiding in acquiring the latest spatial data (Task#2), obtaining updated maps of forestry and mining licenses/concessions (Task #3), as well as improving human resources in geospatial analysis (Task #4). In relevance to Participatory Land Use Planning (PLUP), Pelalawan District requires the complete PLUP package consisting of Task#1 to #4.
