BRAVO: Barrier Removal Assessment and Viability Overview Sungai Putri Pit Swamp Forest Complex
What: The barrier removal tool used in this site is facilitating the establishment of Credit Union (CU). CU is a group of people who trust each other, have one unifying bound and agree to save their money in order to accumulate collaborative capital to be lent to the members of it for the sake of productivity and welfare. Through CU in Sungai Putri, the community is empowered and the people are able to help themselves. Their collaborative effort will create a place to circulate the capital and an easy access to the capital employed. Then, they will be encouraged to improve their existing business or to create a new potential business. People will leave their illegal logging activity as CU will satisfy what the community needs: capital. It is hoped that the existence of CU will decrease the threat to Sungai Putri. Based on the qualitative survey carried out in 4 villages around Sungai Putri, the community generally lives by farming or fishing. Activities related to timber are done to meet the people’s tertiary needs. Some timber-related workers work in groups supported by their own money, while others work as labors and receive their wage from cukong (intermediary). This self-helping group of workers works only 10 months per year, depending on the situation and the availability of money. One group usually consists of 5-6 persons. In one month, this group will visit the forest twice. From one visit, they can get 5 cubic of timber. Meranti, punak and perepat are the types of wood wanted. For every 1m³, they will get net profit of IDR 200,000. This means that in one month they will get IDR 2,000,000. This benefit will then be equally divided; each person will get around IDR 330,000 to IDR 400,000. BRAVO: Executive Summary BRAVO Scores Feasibility Score: 3.1 Impact Score: 3.42
Executive Summary Labors’ work schedule is not fixed, depending on the order of activities related to timber that the cukong gets. Labors’ monthly wage (related to activities at a sawmill) is varied: buruh gesek gets IDR 4000 per log, tukang dorong IDR 2000 per log, tukang pikul (carrier) who takes the log to the pick up car gets IDR 1000 per log. Normally in one day they can get 30 logs; this means that in one day buruh gesek gets IDR 120,000, tukang dorong IDR 60,000 and tukang pikul IDR 30,000. With this low and unpredictable income, it is difficult for the community to grow their agricultural business. If they have their capital, the community may grow various businesses, e.g. livestock farming business. A broiler farmer, for example, needs IDR 3,900,000 to have a box of 100 chicks, a chicken house and chicken feed. In 40 days, the chickens are ready to harvest: +/- 1.5 kg each. One kilogram of chicken is IDR 18,000; then, the price of one chicken is IDR 27,000. With 10-20% of DOC mortality risk, the first selling profit of these broiler chickens is IDR 2,160,000 – IDR 2,430,000. The farmers will get their BEP after 4 times of selling their products. Raising kampong chicken is another chance. Initially, IDR 950,000 of capital is needed to have the chicken parents (1 male chicken and 5 female ones), a chicken house and chicken feed. The investment in kampong chicken house is different from that in the broiler chicken’s one: kampong chickens are usually free ranged, and the chicken house is not very much. As for their feed, kampong chickens usually find their own food, but their owner may add husks and left-over rice. After being raised for two months, the hens will lay eggs. These eggs will be hatched on the third month. Assuming that 1 hen will get 10 chicks, these 5 hens will bring to the farmer 50 chicks. The next three months, the second generation of the initial hens will be hatched, and so forth. Six month old, the first generation, 1.5 kg each in average, is ready to be sold. One kilogram of the chicken is IDR 27,000; then, the price of one chicken is IDR 40,000. Supposing that none of the chicks dies, these chickens are picked and bought by peraih (middleman) at the farm. The first selling result will be IDR 2,000,000. By raising kampong chicken, farmers will get their BEP after keeping the chickens for 8 months and get net profit of IDR 600,000 (after deducted for the chicken feed cost for the next six months). .
Executive Summary Three months after the first selling, farmers may sell 50 chickens of the second generation for IDR 2,000,000 in total, and so forth. Based on this assumption, the selling of the second generation (on the 11th month of the production) will get IDR 2,000,000 of net profit. This is around IDR 666,000 per month bigger than what the people get from the timber-related works. In Ketapang, the market for kampong chickens is quite good, and the price of each kilogram of the chicken keeps rising. It is expected that CU may also change the instant mind set of the people. They are used to directly get loan using collateral. In CU. They are thought to get used to the idea of creating their capital by saving their money first, and use that money by taking it as a loan after that. In West Kalimantan, there are many success stories of CU which is very helpful in providing capital employed to the community. This organization’s success in empowering the community has already been realized by many areas in West Kalimantan. In Ketapang, for example, there are two solid Credit Unions which have proved themselves of supporting the community’s business: CU Pancur Solidaritas and CU Gemalak Kemisik. Who: The target group is the communities of four villages (including farmers and loggers). For the first year of CU, at least 200 people are targeted to be this organization’s members. Partner organizations for developing this Sungai Putri CU are Lembaga Gemawan - Pontianak and Pancur Solidaritas CU – Ketapang. Lembaga Gemawan has agreed to facilitate the people to develop CU and to help building the capacity of CU board of those four villages. In January 2009, Lembaga Gemawan has disseminated information regarding CU in one of those target villages. Meanwhile, CU Pancur Solidaritas has agreed to help the dissemination of CU concept.
Executive Summary When: This program will start in June 2009. It starts with the dissemination process. This CU dissemination process will be run parallel with the dissemination of the ecological and economical values of pit swamp forest. After the dissemination process in four villages is finished, there will be an agreement regarding the representatives of the communities who will be the board of CU. These representatives will then be sent to existing Credit Unions to have their one month of internship. After this internship is completed, there will be a strategic planning to determine the Articles of Association (AD/ ART) of the said CU. How: The fund needed in terms of developing Credit Union is around $ 5500. Fundraising is considered as part of the community’s role since the development of CU should be based on communal needs; from the community and to the community. This means that the facilitation process will be accompanied with an awareness education on social, economy and natural resources context. Besides helping the community to have an easy access to the capital, the existence of CU may indirectly reduce the number of illegal logging activities in Sungai Putri. In its rules and regulation, CU will not provide any capital loan for illegal activities. If they want to be one step ahead and grow their business, the community should be willing to leave their logging activities.
