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

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.

1.2 Objective Objectives of this Rapid DRA were to:

Conduct rapid assessments in the selected districts using agreed methodology provided by MCA-I, namely to assess the level of district readiness related to: political conditions, institutional capacity, regulatory frameworks, participatory land use planning, social and gender analysis, and conformance with Millennium Challenge Compact conditions;

Compile relevant secondary data from related local government institutions and other stakeholders in support of the assessment;

Identify critical issues that will potentially affect the implementation of GPP;

Support MCA-Indonesia in prioritizing the pre-selected districts for MoU signing and renewable

energy development partnership agreement; and

Assess investment opportunities within the district for environmentally sustainable and low-

carbon economic growth.

Section 2 Methodology

2-1


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:

– Technical Document Pelalawan District Spatial Plan (RTRW) 2011-2031 and related

documents (e.g., Local Government Regulation of RTRW, geospatial data/GIS of RTRW,

village and sub-district boundary);

– Long Term Development Plan (RPJP) Pelalawan District 2005 – 2025, Pelalawan District

Regulation (Peraturan Daerah/Perda) No. 7/2014;

– Medium Term Development Plan (RPJMD) Pelalawan District 2011 – 2016, Pelalawan

District Regulation (Peraturan Daerah/Perda) No. 6/2014;

Field visit and interviews. A field visit to Pelalawan District was conducted by the PMC team

from August 19 to 26, 2015, to better understand the local context for future GPP investment.

Target areas visited included the general landscape of Pelalawan and infrastructure and land

uses. The PMC team met and conducted interviews with the following District offices and

agencies:

– District Planning and Development Board (Badan Perencanaan dan Pembangunan

Daerah/BAPPEDA);

– Forestry and Plantation Agency;

– Mining and Energy Agency;

– Bureau of Environment (BLH);

– Community Empowerment and Village Government Agency;

– Women Empowerment, Children Protection and Family Planning Agency;

– Investment and Integrated Licensing Services Agency;

– Legal Department, sub department head of regulations (under Secretary of District);

– Government Department (under Secretary of District); and

– Bandar Seikijang Sub District Office.

Appendix A contains maps of Pelalawan District. Appendix B contains photographs taken during the field visit. Appendix C contains summaries of the meetings with the listed organizations.

Data analysis. Descriptive analysis was conducted following the terms of reference provided by

MCA-Indonesia, and focused on components of: policy, regulation, institutional capacity, social

conditions and gender, and Compact requirements. A description of each component is provided

in the matrix presented in this report. Additionally, analyses on conditions to support Public

Land Use Planning were also done based on interviews and/or secondary data.

GIS Analysis. GIS analyses included:

– Land-cover analysis to identify critical land and forest cover to support geospatial analysis of

existing spatial plan. Land-cover analysis was conducted to show comparison of cover

percentages among land-cover classes; and

– Identification of natural resources and stakeholders and/or institutions related to these

natural resources (resource-based stakeholder mapping). Indigenous land ownership issues

were identified using this approach.

These geospatial parameters were linked to the district spatial plan and strategic environmental assessment (SEA) of “Teknopolitan” Area. The spatial plan data has not been validated and is still under review by the Bupati and Governor.

Section 3 General Description of the District

3-1


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 Sub-

district. 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.

Total area of the district is 1,392,494 ha, with 750,245 ha (53.88%) of forested land, including

production forest (635,251 ha), mangrove forest (461 ha), and conservation forests consisting of

Tesso Nilo National Park (77,390 ha), and Nature Reserve/Suaka Margasatwa (37,142 ha). This

would represent an ideal distribution of forested land use, however many of the protected areas are

not functionally protected. Land use in remaining areas is mainly for cultivation and settlement.

Land use distribution within the district is illustrated in Appendix A. In 2013, total precipitation in

Pelalawan District was 2,492 mm, with a total of 167 rainfall days.

Pelalawan District can be accessed by road from the Riau provincal capital in Pekanbaru

(approximately 1.5 hrs driving time). There are no direct flights to Pelalawan. Public transportation

relies on small commuters and minibuses from Pekanbaru to Pelalawan. In 2013, the total road

length in the district was 2,401.89 km, consisting of 411.69 km of asphalt roads, 294.02 km of

cement roads, 606.77 km of gravel roads, and 1,089.41 km of soil roads. Generally, roads are

maintained in a condition that allows access to most areas in Pelalawan District.

3.2 Population The estimated population of Pelalawan District at the end of 2013 was 386,428, consisting of

203,683 men (52.7%) and 182,745 women (47.3%), resulting in a male:female ratio of 111:100. The

largest number of people live in the Pangkalan Kerinci Sub-district (101,268 people), and the fewest

live in the Bandar Petalangan Sub-district (14,604 people). The average annual population growth in


3-2

2013 was 6.71% per year. The average population density among all 12 sub-districts is 28

people/km2. There are no urban areas in Pelalawan District. As a result, the entire population is

considered rural. The highest population density is within Pangkalan Kerinci Sub-district with 523

people/km², while the lowest density is in Teluk Meranti Sub-district with 4 people/km².

The number of working-age people (>15 yrs) in the population is 252,222 (65.27% of the total

population). Of this working-age population, 168,383 people (66.76%) are employed. In 2013, the

number of registered job seekers at Manpower Services was 3,023 (1,204 men and 1,819 women).

Education levels among job seekers in Pelalawan consist of: senior high school = 575 people (401

men, 174 women), diplomas = 813 people (156 men, 657 women), and a university degree = 1,635

people (647 men, 988 women).

The most recent data on poverty in Pelalawan estimated that in 2013, 12% (46,370 people) lived

below the poverty line (defined by the Bureau of Statistics as being able to meet basic human needs).

Between 2008 and 2013, the number of people living in poverty decreased from 18.63% in 2008 to

12% in 2013. From 2008 to 2013, the estimated monthly income to meet these basic needs (i.e., the

poverty line) increased from Rp. 286,761 per month to Rp. 429,452 per month (49.76%).

3.3 Community Health Health facilities available in Pelalawan consist of four public hospitals, three in Pangkalan Kerinci

Sub-district and one in Pangkalan Kuras Sub-district. One community health center is available in

each sub-district, as well as one to six subsidiary health centers (PUSTU) in all sub-districts. Other

health facilities available were: 76 village health posts (Poskesdes), 340 integrated services posts

(Posyandu), and 65 doctors’ clinics. The three most common illnesses recorded (according to Health

Agency 2013) in health facilities were: acute upper respiratory tract infection, diarrhea, and

gastritis. Immunisations are available for children, and consist of BCG, DPT, polio, and hepatitis. In

2013, approximately 33.33% to 100% newborns in six sub-districts (Bandar Sei Sekijang,

Kerumutan, Pangkalan Kerinci, Pangkalan Lesung, Bunut, and Ukui) exhibited low body mass, while

approximately 0.1% of children under 5 years experienced malnutrition.

3.4 Regional Economy 3.4.1 Performance for the Period 2009-2013 From 2009 to 2013, the economic performance of Pelalawan improved. Gross domestic product

(GDP) increased from IDR 3.1 trillion in 2009 to IDR 4.0 trillion in 2013 (calculation based on a

constant price set in 2000, including oil and gas). The annual GDP in Pelalawan has increased every

year since 2009 (8.10% in 2009, 6.71% in 2010, 6.83% in 2011, 7.03% in 2012, and 7.04% in 2013),

with an average annual growth rate of 7.14% over the 2009 to 2013 period.

GDP based on current prices set in 2013 was IDR 24.513 trillion, mainly generated by the

Manufacturing Industry sector (50.66% of GDP contributions). The next highest contributions are

from the Agriculture, Livestock, Forestry and Fishery sector (36.42%), followed by the Trade, Hotel

and Restaraunt sector (3.68%). Seven economic sectors showed an annual growth rate of over 8% in

2013, including: construction; trades, hotels and restaurants; services; mining and excavation;

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).


3-5

– 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).

Transparency Policies

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. 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.

1.2 Commitment to low emission economic growth

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.

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).

5. Interview with Head of Environment Agency (25 August 2015)

6. Interview with Section Head of Economic and Development in Bandar Seikijang Sub-District Office (26 August 2015)

Pelalawan scored 2 on its commitment to low-emission 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.

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.

The Environment Agency also conducted an inventory of green house gas emissions in Pelalawan sub district in 2015.

1.3 Potential land use conflict

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 1. Interview with Head and Secretary of Regional Planning and Development/ BAPPEDA (20-21 and 26 August 2015)




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.

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).

2. Institutional Analysis 2.1 BAPPEDA and

Sector Agencies 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.

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.






WWF, Greenpeace, Warsi, Jikalahari have conducted studies, research and investigation related to sustainable forest management performances of forest concession companies, as well as palm oil companies. Other studies/research were conducted in relation to conservation forest management (e.g., Tesso Nilo National Park, SM Kerumutan) including biodiversity and social conflict resolution. Despite the numbers of NGO supports, there are only partial synergies in the implementation of the programs.

6. Interview with Head of Government Department, District Government office (26 August 2015)

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.

2.5 Other donor-funded organizations/NGOs on low-emission development (Sustainable NRM)

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 1. Interview with Head, Secretary and staffs of Regional Planning and Development/BAPPEDA (20-21 and 26 August 2015)




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

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

3. Participatory Land-Use Planning 3.1 Analysis on the

existing condition related to four Tasks in Participatory Mapping and Planning (PMaP) and specific recommendations (if any)

Task #1 Participatory Village Boundary Setting and Natural and Social Resource Mapping (VBS-RM). Head of District Government division explained that participatory boundary setting of villages and kelurahan has not commenced as they are still processing the boundary demarcation with other districts. Task #2 Acquisition of geo-spatial data and preparation of GIS databases of land use/land cover is available and managed by BAPPEDA. This GIS database is associated with the Regional Spatial Plan (RTRW). Task#3 Compilation and geo-referencing of existing and pending licenses and permits for land and natural resource use can be found in the related technical agency. Task #4 Enhancing district spatial plans through capacity building in spatial planning, enforcement and management of land use information in spatially-enabled databases is adequate in Pelalawan District. BAPPEDA staffs have adequate capacity for developing the spatial plan.

There are district government regulations associated with villages and “kelurahan”:

1. District government regulation No. 08/2007: Revision of District Government Regulation No. 20/2001 regarding Establishment, Development, Removing, and Merging of “Kelurahan”;

2. District government regulation No.





Rapid DRA in Pelalawan District shows that Task #1 has not been conducted. At the moment, they are focusing on finishing the boundary demarcation with other districts and after that they will do the boundary demarcation between sub districts. Task #2 to Task #4 have been initiated. Recommendations may include advising district government to accelerate the participatory district boundary progress, then continue to conduct the participatory boundary demarcation between sub districts and villages and kelurahans in parallel. Therefore, all PLUP packages are required for Pelalawan District in order to strengthen their capability in spatial analysis and consolidating the maps from the district and from the Ministry of Environment and Forestry.

8. Law No. 23/2014 on local government

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.

4.2 Safeguards on human health, livelihood and the environment

Health facilities available in Pelalawan consist of four public hospitals, three in Pangkalan Kerinci Sub-district and one in Pangkalan Kuras Sub-district.

and gender equality through improving the quality of life for women and children. However, based on an interview with the Head of Women Empowerment Department, gender mainstreaming activities have just recently been initiated.

5.2 Vulnerable community groups

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.

2. Middle Term Development Plan (RPJMD) Pelalawan District 2011 – 2016

Existence of vulnerable groups (poor people) in Pelalawan district is a challenge to be targeted for reduction or alleviation. Government commitment for alleviating this vulnerable group is shown by the implementation of several programs to address the issues. 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.

5.3 Customary laws and their effects on district development

Pelalawan District does not have a specific regulation (PERDA) on customary law. However, there is recognition of customary Melayu ethnics at district levels. There is PERDA No. 29/2002 regarding the implementation of Melayu uniform for all employees in government, education and private institutions.

6.3 Demonstration of potential value added to district ability to support further intervention from the GP

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.







Ongoing and promising areas for future integration with GP intervention: The District government has identified potential

development of renewable energy through development of solar, wind, biomass, and biogas energy.

PES potentials (related to watershed management) offer compatibility with GP implementations.

Potential to increase production and quality of palm oil plantations and promote collaborations under sustainable partnerships.

6.4 Perceptions and preferences towards implementation of Renewable energy

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.

3 2 1 There is generally high acceptance of renewable energy projects in Pelalawan District. However, problems may arise due to different expectations as to how the power will be distributed (off-grid or on-grid) and how the power will be used (for industries

or for communities). There is a vast potential for utilizing palm oil waste for energy/electricity production to fulfill the energy needs of the entire district. Pelalawan District has forwarded a plan for providing electricity for remote areas using hybrid technology (which may include renewable energy sources), as well as increasing electrification throughout district areas.

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.
