The government of Indonesia continues to implement emission reduction efforts across the country. To ensure safeguards are followed throughout the Emissions Reduction (ER) program, the government of Indonesia will enact a Free Prior Inform Consent (FPIC) to 150 villages by the end of September 2020. Remembering the current restrictions and health risks due to COVID 19, the safeguards team of East Kalimantan has taken precautionary steps, including: assessment of villages of their COVID 19 status, development of guidelines to conduct FPIC with adjustments made to each village’s conditions, and coordination with health service agencies. In parallel to the FPIC, the Central government has conducted capacity-building workshops on Measurement, Monitoring, and Reporting (MMR) to improve readiness of Jambi and East Kalimantan Provincial Governments in August 2020 on Green House Gas Accounting—utilizing Planet Data facility in cooperation with the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). To that end, East Kalimantan has finalized the data collection for ER Retroactive safeguards due diligence exercise, started the data analysis, and it is expected that the report will be submitted in February 2021 to the Bank.
