Fund: USD 5,000,000 Funding Source: Global Environment Facility (GEF) / Special Climate Change Fund (SCCF) Government Implementing Partner/Executing Entity: Ministry of Environment Government Implementing Entity/Responsible Partner: BAPPEDA NTT Province
I. Situation Analysis: Why is SPARC project relevant for NTT? • NTT faces socio-economic challenges: • One of the poorest province in Indonesia • Human Development Index behind national HDI • Low MDGs performance • Food and water insecurity are common • Livelihoods largely depend on subsistence agriculture Low Adaptive capacity WFP,2010
NTT faces geographical and climatic challenges: • High climate variability, affected by El Niño and La Nina • Repeated crop failures due to extreme climate events • High occurrence of natural disasters High risk exposure El Nino La Nina -150 -100 -50 0 +50 +100 +150 Perubahan hujan (mm/bulan) Sumber: Giannini et al, 2007
Project Objective: To enable the NTT province to strengthen climate resilience of its rural Communities to improve livelihood, food, and water security Outcome 1: Institutional capacity developed to integrate climate resilience in sustainable development at provincial and district level Outcome 2: Livelihoods of vulnerable rural communities strengthened in a changing climate • Outputs: • 120 communities have developed a community based climate risk information system • 40 communities have adjusted subsistence farming practices to more variable and extreme climatic conditions. • 40 communities have become more resilient by diversifying sources of income which are less sensitive to climate change • In 40 communities, water resources infrastructure and management have been improved taking into account projected changes in rainfall patterns. • Outputs: • A multistakeholder dialogue on climate change has been established and institutionalized at provincial and district level • Staff of government agencies, members of parliament, media, universities and CSOs capacitated to address climate change adaptation • The provincial government and three district governments have integrated key policies, programmes, and made necessary budget allocations to priority adaptation
