Improving the Business Environment for SMEs in Sulawesi (IBESS)
Project No.: ID/32448
CIDA Contribution: $5 000 000
Duration: 2005 to 2008
Partner contact: The Asia Foundation (TAF)
Project Description:
The project is designed to achieve two distinct goals in Sulawesi, Indonesia: i. reduce poverty by invigorating small and medium enterprises (SMEs); and, ii. produce gender-responsible allocation of local government resources and services through gender budget advocacy. The project is comprised of two components: 1. Improving the Business Environment for SME Growth : this program is designed to improve the business environment by: increasing private sector input into policy-making; improving the formulation of economic regulation; streamlining business licensing and regulations; removing impediments to domestic trade; and increasing women’s formalized participation in SME ownership. 2. the Gender Responsive Budgeting Initiative is designed to strengthen local government capacity for planning and implementation of gender-equitable budgets and policies; make budget processes transparent and legislators accountable to women on budget decisions; and increase public participation (especially women) in local level decision-making.
Private Enterprise Participation Phase II (PEP II)
Project No.: ID/30575
CIDA Contribution: $12 112 773
Duration: 2001 to 2006
Location: Leilem and Mesel villages n North Sulawesi; Takalar district in South Sulawesi; Tabanan, Gianyar and Ubud Regencies of Bali; Gresik district in East Java.
Executing Agency: Canadian Manufacturers and Exporters (CME)
Indonesian Partner:The State Ministry of Cooperatives and SMEs (SMOCSME) and the Indonesian Business Women Association (IWAPI) (Primary Working Partner)
Description:
The project consists of: (i) technical assistance (TA) focusing on clusters of like businesses, addressing all aspects of business activity; (ii) Institutional strengthening of IWAPI and a selection of industry sector associations; (iii) delivery and administration of a C$60,000 micro-credit, peer-lending programs for women with no collateral, funded by Manulife Canada; (iv) working with IWAPI and its branches to address gender inequity issues facing women in business. PEP has undertaken empirical research on gender issues in all project areas.
PEP's Canadian Advisors help woodworking cluster in Leilem village to enhance quality control and introduce new designs incorporating such techniques as dovetail joints. The Board of Directors of APEKSU (The North Sulawesi Independent Coconut Oil Producers) is working with PEP in efforts to shift their current production practices away from crude cooking oil to refined “virgin coconut oil” (VCO) for application in the cosmetics industry and in medicine. PEP has managed to leverage funds amounting to Rp.110,400,000 to date, from PT. Newmont Minahasa Raya to finance the production of VCO production systems, designed by PEP. This VCO initiative has now spread to five Mesel villages. In Takalar, PEP assists 200 potters, producing crude earthenware cooking pots and water vessels to learn the techniques for good quality, glazed stoneware. PEP and the Sitallassi Pottery Association established a Pottery Training Studio. The garment and metal handicraft manufacturing sectors are the areas of concentration in Bali. Apart from helping the garment manufacturers improving the yield they get from fabric, PEP also helps them to be more aggressive marketers. In 5 villages in Gresik, work is concentrated on assisting 80 rattan furniture manufacturers to increase production and improve quality of their products. To generate a multiplier effect and sustainability, most of the TA is delivered in a "train the trainers" structure. The project works with IWAPI include compilation of database, franchising training programs in IWAPI branches, and developing capacity building handbook. During the first and second year of PEP operation, it provided TA to provincial KADINDAs and SARANAs. The TA varied from SME business database, a BDS development, to workshops on different topics.
Goal/ Purpose:
The project goal is to stimulate the growth of SMEs that create jobs for the poor, both men and women. The purpose is to contribute to poverty reduction through improving the environment for SME development and growth and providing interventions aimed at supporting job creation within SMEs.
Expected Outcome Results:
Increased efficiency and effectiveness of business development service providers (BDSP) in serving the needs of SMEs.
Strengthened capacity of SMEs to provide a range of employment opportunities accessible to both men and women, particularly the poor
Current Status and Issues:
TA to SMEs clusters constitutes the core programming area of PEP. The results are very encouraging, with increased production volumes and significant job creation (220 direct jobs and 447 indirect jobs) with the rattan furniture manufacturers; measurable savings and other efficiencies in the garment industry; exciting possibilities for a number of new stoneware products; and, the promise of “pure” coconut oil production.
PEP currently works with IWAPI National, plus its four provincial branches, KAPET Manado-Bitung and a number of industry associations

Rural Enterprise Support Project
Project No.: ID/30903
CIDA Contribution: $ 500,000
Duration: 2002 to 2004
Location: Garut (Jawa Barat), dan Wonosobo dan Salatiga (Jawa Tengah)
Executing Agency: PARTNERS in Rural Development (Canadian Hunger Foundation)
Indonesian Partner: Bina Desa/ INDHRRA
Description:
This project intends to support the growth and development of small community-based enterprises that have the potential of reducing rural poverty and unemployment which remain serious impediments to Indonesia's socio-economic recovery and national development. To realize this, the project seeks to develop the capacity of BINA DESA, to become a service provider organization that is capable of responding to the needs of small agro-entrepreneurs, capitalizing on new agricultural developments and emerging opportunities
The project consists of 4 main elements; (1) Capacity Building of Bina Desa to be able to function as BSP: through participation in a number of training programme aiming at improving their management skills, sectoral and facilitation expertise and knowledge. The training for BD Boundary partners includes popular education, current practices in horticulture and other crops production, with prime focus on potato, chilly, tomatoes, cabbage and exotic and forest plants through tissue culture techniques. (2) Research and Development: a Vegetable Research Institute BALITSA was selected as the market research consultant to commission a market study in the areas where the pilot sites are located. (3) Pilot Application Initiatives: a screen house has been built in each community to produce seeds of their choice. The villagers of Salatiga and Garut decided to concentrate on potato seed growers and derivative potato products. Wonosobo focuses on other vegetable seedlings, such as cabbage, and derivative vegetable products. (4) Information, Documentation and Communication Services: through this element the project expected to be able to establish BD information service for SME creation.
Goal/Purpose:
The long-term goal of the project is to facilitate and stimulate the creation and the growth of rural agro-enterprises (rural agro-SMEs) that create meaningful jobs and increased income for the poor, both men and women.
The purpose is to assist Bina Desa to acquire the skills and methods through which it can facilitate, orient and support the rural producers groups to improve their incomes and capabilities by establishing value added SMEs in the production, post-harvest and market sectors.
Expected Results:
Bina Desa and the selected partners have the necessary competencies to produce and deliver improved business development packages and extension services to the rural agro-enterprises, to engage in organizational development, to analyze policy issues and to improve production and incomes for farm households
Current Status and Issues:
At this stage, efforts are spent on business planning, marketing and risk analysis and, in particular, community development issues, such that there is ownership and internalizing of business ideas by the communities.
Results: Initial assessment for activity in Wonosobo shows that the enterprise can sell around 1000 cabbage seedling, with profits ranging between 30-40%. There is good opportunity to expand market to other villages. Screen houses have been built in all three project areas. The plan let (potato seed from tissue culture) is available and grown in May 2003. It is anticipated that both Salatiga and Garut will be successful in managing the growing of potato seeds from tissue culture.
The pilot phase hasbeen extended to September 30, 2004. Project evaluation is planned for March - April 2004.

Forest Resource Management for Carbon Sequestration (FORMACS)
Project No.: A-031164
CIDA Contribution: $ 3 000 000
Duration: 2002 to 2005
Location: Nunukan, East Kalimantan
Executing Agency: CARE-Canada
Indonesian Partner: CARE-Indonesia
Description:
The three-year project will provide a replicable model for community-based forest resource management systems that will promote improved livelihoods, retention of extant forests and reduction in the rates of forest conversion (an associated increase in GHGs emission, particularly CO2). Tangible benefits will accrue at local, national and international levels. The project will address the underlying causes leading to forest conversion (i.e. poverty, lack of awareness, poor governance and land use practices) and improved agro-forestry systems on land under cultivation. One district in the Province of East Kalimantan, Nunukan, has been chosen as the project site. Nunukan district contains significant amounts of relatively undisturbed forests (including peat swamp forests); high level of biodiversity; and an enabling environment providing opportunities for local communities to be active in forest management
Goal/Purpose:
To achieve household livelihood security that maintains carbon stocks and increases carbon sequestration.
To promote the adoption of village-based natural resource management system in selected villages.
Expected Results:
Forest dwelling communities develop and adopt community-based forest resource management systems that provide sustainable improvements in household livelihood security while maintaining carbon stocks and/or increasing C sequestration.
Local government institutions are sensitized to the needs of local communities for community-based forests resource management systems.
A replicable model for community-based forest resource management system for Indonesia that leads to carbon storage maintained in forests and increased carbon sequestration on degraded lands.
Enhanced capacity of communities to establish community-based forest resource management systems that leads to sustainable livelihood security and conservation of carbon stocks and sequestration for forested lands.
Enhanced capacity of households to adopt agro-forestry practices that improve household economy and simultaneously increase carbon sequestration.
Current Status and Issues:
The project is in its second year of implementation and benefits from strong support from local community, local government, local and national NGOs, and Forestry Department
The project uses a participatory approach in addressing local problems, needs, and future planning. It has gained a consensus on the process for participatory village boundary mapping and official recognition of boundaries and mappings from the local government in Nunukan.
One of big issues is land tenure security for local population, especially with the overlapping management and claims between the local government, logging concession and local people. The project is helping to address this problem through support to village-boundary mapping.

Governance Reform Support II
Project No.: A-031155
CIDA Contribution: $ 18 686 800
Duration: 2003 to 2010
Location: Nationwide
Executing Agency: Bearings Point/Hickling Corporation
Indonesian Partner: National Development Planning Agency (BAPPENAS)
Description:
During the height of the crisis between 1998 and 2000, it became extremely difficult to undertake the capacity building portion of the work intended under Governance Reform Support (GRS). It is anticipated that over the seven year term of GRS II, as the environment within Indonesia stabilizes, emphasis will be increasingly placed on capacity building to allow sustainable processes of reform to develop, not simply to provide support to specific reform agendas. GOI presented the National Framework for Capacity Building to Support Decentralization at the Consultative Group on Indonesia Meeting in November 2001 and the donor community reconfirmed its readiness to use the programme as a key reference in preparing their new commitments for local governance capacity building, and encouraged the respective GOI agencies at all levels to use the framework in their dialogue with donor agencies. The National Framework was produced in consultation with all stakeholders at both the central and local level, including the donor communities. The capacity building activities of GRS II will be developed in reference to the National Framework.
GRS II will consist of a funding mechanism in response to a range of governance initiatives, with a particular focus on decentralization, with selected GOI Ministries, Agencies, and related organization in developing and implementing reform agendas and increasing the quality of governance within the country. Canadian and Indonesian technical advisors, short and long term, will be the main vehicle to transfer knowledge and develop capacity of selected partner organizations.
Goal/Purpose:
To promote sustainable development and poverty reduction in Indonesia by enhancing the quality of governance.
To assist and strengthen selected Government of Indonesia (GOI) Agencies, Ministries and related organizations to undertake fiscal and institutional reforms supporting the devolution of power to the local levels of government.
Expected Results:
Fiscal reforms are undertaken in at least 25% of cases addressed by selected GOI Agencies, Ministries, and related organizations.
Enhanced capacity of selected GOI Agencies, Ministries, and related organizations to initiate fiscal reforms that address economic disparities between provinces and districts.
Strategies/ action plans for undertaking specific fiscal reforms in selected GOI Agencies, Ministries, and related organizations are in place.
Institutional reforms are instituted in at least 25% of cases addressed by selected GOI Agencies, Ministries, and related organizations.
Enhanced capacity of selected GOI Agencies, Ministries, and related organizations to initiate institutional reforms that enable selected central agencies to become more transparent, and accountable in their relations with the local levels of government.
Institutional strategies/ action plans reflecting accountability and transparency in selected GOI Agencies, Ministries, and related organizations, are in place.
Fiscal and institutional reforms initiatives have taken into consideration principles of gender equality, gender mainstreaming, and environmental concerns.
Current Status and Issues:
Following the PSC meeting in October 2003, the project implementation plan (PIP) and the Annual Workplan for 2003-2004 are currently being revised for approval by CIDA.

IMF Tax Reform Project
Project No.: A-032102
SUMBANGAN CIDA: $ 3 000 000
Duration: 2003 to 2005
Location: Jakarta
Executing Agency: International Monetary Fund
Indonesian Partner: Ministry of Finance/ Directorate General of Taxation
Description:
In response to a request from the minister of Finance, Government of Indonesia (GOI), the International Monetary Fund (IMF) is providing technical assistance to support tax authorities in developing and implementing a plan for a program of tax administration reform. Other donors, including CIDA, AusAid and USAID are supporting this initiative.
CIDA has been involved with the 2002 IMF tax reform program. This program resulted in a number of accomplishments: revenue generation measures, implemented as part of the program, led to an increase in tax revenue of 0.5 percent of GDP; two large taxpayer offices were established in Jakarta; and a new computer system of tax collection was developed.
In 2003, the Government of Indonesia, in cooperation with the IMF, seeks to build on past successes and further tax administration reform in three key areas: revenue generation measures, strengthening of Large Taxpayer Offices (LTO) and medium term modernization for the DGT. Canada has received a request from Indonesian Minister of Finance for further assistance from CIDA in the reform efforts planned for 2003. The Minister of Finance has indicated his desire to continue his support to tax administration reform even if Indonesia's plan for economic recovery does not continue under IMF direction following the expected May 2004 elections. Other donors involved beside CIDA are AusAid, USAID and U.S. Treasury.
Goal/Purpose:
This project is to promote good governance at the central level where the aim is for the GOI, specifically the DG Tax, to have increased accountability, transparency, effectiveness and efficiency through the reform in Tax administration
Expected Results:
An increase in tax revenue generated by DGT
Progress of Large Taxpayers Offices into world class organization
Achievement of quantum leap in the performance of the DGT
Current Status and Issues:
Several drafts of new tax laws, especially, the important new Tax Administration law, will be put forward to the Parliament (DPR) for approval in January 2004.
CIDA and other donors are now in the preparation stage to start the project in the beginning of February 2004.

Assisting The Government of Indonesia (GOI) in the Development of its Poverty Reduction Strategy (PRSP)
Project No.: A-031654-05
CIDA Contribution: $ 50 000
Duration: September 2, 2003 to September 1, 2004
Location:Jakarta and all over Indonesia
Indonesian Partner: Poverty Reduction Committee of Menko Kesra (Coordinating Ministry for People's Welfare)
Description:
This project is to provide assistance to the Government of Indonesia (GOI) towards the development of their PRSP. An interim poverty reduction strategy paper (I-PRSP) has determined that there are four broad themes which need to be further analyzed. The four themes or pillars include: (i) creating opportunities; (ii) empowering communities; (iii) building capacity and developing human capital; and, (iv) enhancing social protection. Organizing the analysis, policy and program development, and other work necessary to develop a PRS around these four pillars would divide the work into more manageable parts. The establishment of four multi-stakeholder working groups around the pillars will support the principles of PRS formulation. Donors working in the poverty working group with the GOI have been asked to support costs of hiring technical advisors, operational support specialists and related logistics costs for each working group. CIDA is a member of the joint government-donor poverty working group. CIDA is supporting the fourth working group by providing resources for the fees of one technical advisor and one operational support specialist. The WB through the DFID trust fund will top up the fees for the CIDA-funded consultants as the total fees for both consultants exceed C$50,000. JICA, the ADB and the WB will provide logistical support to all working groups. The consultants have been selected competitively with representatives from GOI ministries, the WB and CIDA involved in the selection process.
Goal/Purpose:
To provide assistance to the GOI to develop a poverty reduction strategy
Expected Results:
Identification and analysis of pro-poor social protection policies and identification of how policies need to be strengthened to protect the poor
Current Status and Issues:
Task forces proceeding with data collection, identification of policies and some analytical work.
