Budi:

Three priorities for Oxfam in Indonesia in 2016!

Setting priorities is a key for Oxfam in Indonesia in 2016, as part of the implementation of the Country Strategy (OCS) for 2015-2018, as well as to build a foundation to set-up own affiliate in near future. Budi Kuncoro, the new Country Director, talks about three priorities for this year. Below is a snapshot of an interview with Budi on these three priority agenda.

What are the priority agendas for 2016?

There are three main agendas that we are prioritizing for the 2016 fiscal year: First, effectively and efficiently executing the OCS; second, explore business and partnership model to growth; and third, to support the set up of Oxfam Indonesia as envisioned in Oxfam 2020 Vision.

Can you elaborate on what you mean with ‘effectively and efficiently implementing OCS’?

Praise God. Thanks to everyone for all the hard work! Our financial target for the next two-three years (2015-2017) of 5 million Euros has been achieved. During the last quarter of 2015, we signed a number of grant agreements with the European Union and other donor agencies, particularly to fund our Economic Justice and Gender Justice programmes.

With these strong funding, our priorities should be focused on the delivering and implementing the programmes. This is why programme quality, MEL and CAMSA are important. In terms of project management, we should fully utilize our platform and tools like OPAL, Crimson, Helios, and others. A good cooperation between programmes and operational staff is paramount on this.

Microsoft! Ironically, its business strategy was not wrong.

The only ‘mistake’ was they were not ‘adaptive’ to the changes in the marketplace (as admitted by their management!).

Oxfam is in the process of ‘transformation’, as an effort to adapt to the changing environment. One example, Oxfam GB established a new unit (Bids and Tenders), also in Asia (Business Development Unit), to respond to a changing funding landscape and financing modality of institutional donors (from grant mechanisms to competitive bidding). In Indonesia, we’re piloting a consortium model with our partners in NTT, NTB and Sulawesi, to access funding that otherwise we can’t do it ourselves.

The third priority relates to facilitating the set-up of Oxfam Indonesia. Can you elaborate?

In line with Oxfam’s 2020 Vision, which envisioned that southern voices will be heard and more influential, Indonesia has an opportunity to play an important role in this regard.

We should also strengthen our programme quality; from planning, implementation to monitoring and evaluation, in an effort to fulfill commitments to our donors and beneficiaries. Equally important is the synergy among the various programmes, including strengthening gender mainstreaming in Economic Justice and Right in Crisis programmes. This is to ensure that country programme reflect a comprehensive development and humanitarian aspects to fully benefits our stakeholders.

I had discussion with many people in various affiliates (OGB, OAU, Oxfam Novib) which expressed that Oxfam would not only continue to exist in Indonesia, but they also expected that Indonesia can share leading thoughts and experiences with other countries and confederation. The question of how the country operating model should be set up, should not stop Indonesia to move forward toward the Oxfam 2020 vision. The process of setting up own affiliate in Indonesia will be started mid year, and I’ll happy to share with you on update and progress on this. For now, let’s focus our effort in implementing the programme effectively and efficiently, and start to build a foundation to grow and sustain our country programs, as Indonesia is expected to be self-sustaining in near future.

What about the second priority; the ‘business development’?

Can you elaborate on that?

If you have idea, feedback, or suggestion; feel free to reach me at bkuncoro@oxfam.org.uk.

Develop or grow the business is a crucial aspect of an organization’s survival. A good example in the business world is NOKIA. Who doesn’t know about Nokia? For a long time, Nokia dominated the mobile phone market, but now, Nokia was acquired by

Thank you!

Inak Injun

A FEMALE HERO

FROM THE MATARAM COAST By: Cecilia Novarina This past November 17th-24th, I took a trip to Nusa Tenggara Barat (NTB), where on the third day of my trip, I met Inak Injun. Inak Injun is a member of the Seahorse Women’s Group (Balai Perempuan Kuda Laut), which is supported by the NTB branch of the Indonesian Women’s Coalition (Koalisi Perempuan Indonesia), also known as KPI, located on the coast of Mataram city. Prior to joining KPI, Inak Injun had never been in any organized association. “At that time, I really didn’t know much. Although I did go to school, my education was outdated,” she explained, “And I would pretty much just hang out in the kitchen.”

Inak Injun became familiar and joined KPI during a community organizing training, that was supported

by Oxfam in 2011. She recalls having to go to the restroom every time she was asked to say something in the forum, because she was so nervous. “Now that I’ve been with KPI for a while, my Indonesian has improved.” She has even grown more confident participating in various KPI events, even those that took place in other cities.

Thanks to this newly-found self-confidence, Inak Injun has gained recognition as a champion for her efforts in promoting civil rights and child rights to education. She started her campaign by urging that children are able to get free birth certificates and women free marriage certificates. Birth certificates

are not only important because they are a basic civil right, but also because it is often a requirement for school registration.

In her opinion, promoting birth certificate ownership is essentially promoting child rights to education.

And as for marriage certificates for women, Injun believes women could use it as formal proof of marriage in order to access rights as a result of marriage or those if the marriage ends. Thanks to her tenacity, Injun was able to convince the local utilities company (PLN) to sponsor free birth and marriage certificates for children and women.

It is often the case that women who are fighting for a cause are better able to do it knowing that they have support from their families or husbands. The same goes for Inak Injun. Her husband has been very supportive of her involvement with KPI. “He may not be the most handsome husband, but he has a heart of gold,” Inak Injun said calmly.

Inak Injun’s story is indeed an inspiration for women’s progress everywhere. And I find myself feeling quite proud in knowing that change at the community level can really happen, and that Oxfam has played a role in the personal transformation of Inak Injun, who, in turn, fought for the rights of women and children in her community.

“Cocoa has helped reignited my spirit. My two children are now attending university in two different colleges in Jayapura, whilst the other two are still in high school and primary school.

I have been on my own for a while now. My husband left me when the children were still quite young.

Fortunately, with 2.5 hectares of land, we have been able to make a living, pay the school fees and pay for our medical expenses at the community health center.”

SAVED BY C By: Siprianus Guntur This is what Delila Ikari, 55, uttered, Delila is a community member of Kwansu Village, Kemtuk District in Jayapura Regency. Kwansu Village is one of two villages that are part of the Papua Enterprise Development Program (PEDP)1 .

Ibu Delila, as she is commonly called, is a member of the farmer’s group “Mabuma II” in Kwansu Village, Kemtuk District. Her plot is located by the banks of the Grime River, which is prone to flooding. Delila has three gardens in the same location, each of them having different crops. She has 1.5 hectares of cocoa, half a hectare of gogo rancah rice, and half a hectare of other crops such as cassava, taro, corn and fruits.

The cocoa garden is harvested three to four times a year, with approximately 100-150 kg

Cocoa of wet cocoa beans each time. At the time of writing, one kilogram of wet cocoa beans were priced at Rp6,000. With each harvest, Delila makes Rp600,000 to Rp1,000,000. However, for the past few years, cocoa prices have dropped drastically. When the government implemented its “mandatory cocoa” program between 2006 and 2008, cocoa production in Jayapura regency was quite significant. During that period, Delila’s plot could yield between 300 and 400 kg for each harvest.

But since the cocoa and fruit trees in Delila’s garden were in infected with blight, the yields have dropped by between 60 and 80%. There was even one year when there wasn’t anything to harvest.

Fortunately, Delila still has her rice and other crop plots. She sells her crops at the market in Genyem, which is about 15 kilometers away. With these earnings, Delila has been able to make ends meet; pay her children’s tuition fees, medical expenses, and traditional and religious ceremonies.

KIPRa and Oxfam have been facilitating many community members since 2012, including Delila.

Since they started the cocoa program, the community has learned how to take care of their cocoa plots and production has since increased.

Additionally, working in groups have reduced the burden of working on a 2.5 hectare plot. Community members work on the communal plot twice a week during the morning, and then in their own plots during the remainder of the day.

PEDP is a development program implemented by Oxfam and its partner, KIPRa (Konsultasi Independen Pemberdayaan Rakya) in Papua. The PDEP program focuses specifically on cocoa restoration in Jayapura regency.

HOPE FOR VILLAGE TRANSFORMATION By: Taufiqul Mujib

When the Bill on Village administration finally became law on December 18th, 2013, village administration entered a new phase. Opportunities as well as challenges lie ahead.

The national Law number 6 year 2014 on Village administration allows villages to create transformation in four crucial issues, namely collective economic development, village democratization, women as agents of change, and agrarian transformation. Despite these opportunities, however, some challenges remain. In order to support collective economic development in villages, things such as collectiveness, productivity, job creation, and community welfare must all be considered. An article in the law that may support this effort is the Village-owned Enterprises (Badan Usaha Milik Desa/ BUM Desa).

Under this article, village community members would be able to have more collective control over and access to village productive resources in a sustainable and less exploitative manner. Therefore, the economic system operates in an integrative way that considers village potentials, with connectivity of all chain links, from production to distribution.

However, some of the fundamental challenges related to village-owned enterprises loom: (1) ensuring that productive resources are used for the benefit of the community; (2) minimizing potential horizontal conflicts in managing village productive resources; (3) ensuring that community groups (eg: farmers, fishermen, youth groups, women) are active participants in potential-based changes; and (4) empowering the village-owned enterprises in creating a sound socio-economic 6 | OXFAM-TANGGUH-January OXFAM-TANGGUH-November 2016 2015

conditions in the community, by prioritizing people’s participation and initiatives.

At the same time, a village collective economy must be bolstered by a village democracy. Not only is this instrumental and procedural in nature, but it is also substantial. An understanding of democracy must be built upon the community’s interests through an economic logic as a derivative of a means of production that is enabled by a social formation.

life, towards a prosper country as outlined in the Constitution that is prosperous, just, and independent. *adopted from various sources

The Law on Village Administration also appears to favour women’s empowerment as well. The law enables women to become active agents of change, such as providing space for women to be active citizens, establish organized groups, and create supportive policies and programmes.

Article 26 line 4 states that the village head must maintain a democratic and gender-justice oriented community. Further, article 33 also clearly states that women can and are eligible to be elected village head.

Even at the legislative level, women are afforded space to grow. In regards to the Village Council (Badan Permusyawaratan Desa/BPD), article 58 line 1 states that there must be at least five members and at most nine members of the council, which considers geographic scope, women membership, population and village financial status.

Agrarian transformation is another area that is addressed in this law. According to agrarian theory, agrarian transformation refers to societal change that was triggered by a change in the agrarian condition. Although the Law on Village Administration does not specifically discuss restructuring of control over agrarian resources, the village-owned enterprise article mentioned above does open up opportunities for collective and independent management of agrarian resources.

In summary, we are hopeful that village transformation is within reach: a kind of transformation whereby village communities enjoy better quality of

Produce from the farming plot are both consumed at the family level and sold at the market. The earnings are divided equally amongst all the members of the group or put into a shared fund that members can take out as a loan. Some of the earnings are also put into a savings account.

LOCAL REGULATION UPDATES Oxfam’s efforts in disaster risk reduction (DRR) issues last year reached an important milestone: the issuance of the Local Regulation on Provincial Disaster Management. This regulation governs (a) developing a mediumterm development plan that includes a risk reduction analysis; (b) ways of working between the district and the provincial disaster management agency; and (c) acknowledgement of the West Nusa Tenggara provincial Disaster Risk Reduction Forum.

In following up on this regulation, the NTB DRR Forum has prioritized a number of programmes, including advocating on a derivative of the regulation and advocating for DRR mainstreaming in national development planning and budgeting.

Bajaj To Paris #BajajToParis is a part of Oxfam’s regional campaign, #TuktukToParis. This campaign is aimed at influencing ASEAN countries to support financing adaptation for climate projects, including: (i) a road map to achieving financial target for the climate fund; (ii) establishing climate adaptation funding goals during the Conference of the Parties (CoP) of the UNFCCC (United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change) in Paris in December.

Oxfam in Indonesia has participated in the UN General Assembly and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) conference in New York. The delegation consisted of civil society organization networks, such as WALHI, KONTRAS, KPI, Migrant Care, TII, AJI Indonesia and Perkumpulan PRAKARSA. Oxfam provided support to the Indonesian delegation in implementing two events during this conference. The first event was at a meeting on September 23rd to discuss the implementation of the SDGs into the national development agenda. Nila Moeloek, the Minister of Health, opened the event, which was attended by many well-known keynote speakers, such as Ambassador Hahn Choong-hee, Permanent Representative of the Republic of Korea to the UN, Leo Williams, the International Coordinator of Beyond 2015, and Lord McConnell, the First Minister of Scotland, and the founder of the All Party Parliamentary Groups on SDGs. This event was attended by approximately 100 participants.

LESSONS ON DISABILITY INCLUSIVE PROGRAMMING IN BOGOR, SEPTEMBER 2015 Oxfam Australia (OAU) is committed to ensure that all of its partners take into account the rights, needs and perspectives of people with disabilities in all aspects of humanitarian programmes. When OAU implemented the Disability Inclusive Policy in December 2011, it aimed to ensure that all people with disabilities have equal access to meaningful participation and benefit equally of OAU programmes. An implementation strategy was also developed for the Disability Inclusive Policy. OAU and its partner, CBM Australia, facilitated the three-day learning review in Bogor. During the learning review, participants discussed how Oxfam Australia could implement Disability Inclusiveness in different countries and how participants could leverage this effort to achieve a more significant impact.

The focal point for Disability Inclusiveness at Oxfam is Kurniawan Muhammad (Wawan)

Syarifah,

A SCHOOL TEACHER, A COMMUNITY TEACHER fishing, which had increasingly become harder to do as the amount of fish dwindled. Also, the women in the village previously spent most of their time chatting with their neighbours. Nowadays, they actively contribute to their household’s income.

But this change did not happen overnight. It started when a woman visited every house in the village to talk to the family. She asked them to look around at what they had and think about how to capitalize on those things to add more income to their household.

The Kekean sub-village is located just on the tip of the Makassar straight. It looks just like any other coastal sub-village, with fishing boats and stilt houses scattered about along the beach. And not too far from the beach, are cows, roaming around in the field, which are currently dry from the dry season.

However, what sets this sub-village apart from the others is the dynamism of the community economy.

Seaweeds are dried along the beach near the boats.

Men and women are seen diligently flipping the seaweeds to ensure that all parts are exposed to the sun.

Meanwhile, in the seemingly quite homes, women are busy weaving fishing nets. Diligently, they weave the strings, affix some wire and tie up the loops, one at a time. The completed nets are then gathered into a big pile to be picked up by a collector. Typically, one person is able to make between one and three nets a day, and earns Rp45,000 per net. Drying seaweeds and making fishing nets have rejuvenated hope for the people of Kekean sub-village and improved the livelihoods of the community. The local economy was previously highly dependent on 10 | OXFAM-TANGGUH-January 2016

The woman’s name is Syarifah. She taught her fellow neighbours how to organize, even those who were illiterate and innumerate.

During the day, Syarifah teaches at a private madrasah, or Islamic school. And at home, she helps her husband by making fishing nets to catch crabs and shrimp. Her anxiety of wanting to be able to improve her family’s income was answered when she was introduced to Oxfam’s Restoring Coastal Livelihoods programme. Syarifah became involved in training and discussion sessions on how to increase coastal livelihoods through group work.

Following these training and discussions, community members of Kekean then decided to form a small business group. Syarifah was elected to coordinate the group. After she shared more information with the village, a seaweed farming group was created, called Kalaroang group. Syarifah helped build the capacity of the group members, starting from teaching them how to organize to about business development practices.

Nowadays, the Kalaroang group is much more independent. All of its members are actively involved in every activity. Each of the members have also seen an increase of their household incomes of between Rp 1 and 2 million per month.

Like the first group, Syarifah transferred her knowledge to the members and supported them to be active and diligent despite their physical limitations. Nowadays, you can find the Siangkaling Adae group weaving fishing nets every day.

Her efforts did not stop there. In August 2013, Syarifah initiated another small business group for vulnerable groups. These are people who were unable to be directly involved in the seaweed business due to disability or old age. “I see a lot of potential in my village. The tradition of net weaving is a great craft that we can develop into a profitable business,” she said. But she believes that due to limitation in capital, information and access to markets, this net weaving activity had not been developed to its optimal potential.

In fact, the group now has a number of net collectors, who then distribute the fishing nets to Sulawesi, Kalimantan and even Papua. Through this business development, the Siangkalang Adae group has managed to increase the household income of its members to between Rp 1 and 2 million per month, depending on the productivity of each of the members.

*inspiration from the Restoring Coastal Livelihoods programme in Sulawesi, funded by Oxfam Canada.

That is when she created the Siangkaling Adae group, which consists of 25 members, mainly widows, elderly women and very poor women. Some of them even have a physical disability, like physical and vision impairment.

“I see a lot of potential in my village. The tradition of net weaving is a great craft that we can develop into a profitable business.”
