Pengantar RedaksiPembaca yang budiman.

Tahun 2014 adalah tahun penting bagi Vale dalam men-jalankan program pemberdayaan masyarakat. Ke depan, program akan diselaraskan dengan rencana pemba-ngunan Pemerintah Daerah, bersifat jangka panjang, dan memiliki roadmap lima tahunan. Pemda, Perusahaan, dan masyarakat penerima manfaat program kini berjalan ber-sama sebagai tiga pilar program.

Tiga pilar tersebut mengayuh dayung bersama dan ber-layar ke pulau impian yang sama. Dengan demikian tidak terjadi tumpang-tindih program, tumpang-tindih dana, serta pemborosan waktu dan pekerjaan.

PT Vale menggulirkan Program Terpadu Pengembangan Masyarakat (PTPM) di mana di dalamnya terdapat Program Mitra Desa Mandiri (PMDM). Dukungan PT Vale dimaksud-kan lebih sebagai pendorong keswadayaan dan kemandi-rian, sebagai kawan seiring.

Pembaca, laporan utama Halo Vale kali ini menyuguhkan secara ringkas program PTPM, yang 2015 memasuki tahun kedua. Pada rubrik “Kinerja” patut disimak kesigapan karyawan kontraktor mendeteksi bahaya longsor di area kerja sehingga banyak nyawa dan aset terselamatkan. Kesigapan itu menunjukkan bahwa keselamatan kerja dan prosedur kerja aman mulai diinternalisasi oleh karyawan. Tidak berlebihan bila pencanangan Vale Towards Zero Harm 2018 dapat terealisasi.

Pada rubrik “Komunitas”, kami tampilkan klub fotografi ECeCe. Selain untuk memuaskan hobi, keterampilan me-reka mendukung pekerjaan sebagai geolog di lapangan. Misalnya memotret bentang alam sehingga benar-benar memperlihatkan bentuk aslinya.

Selamat membaca.

Letter from the EditorDear Readers,

2014 was an important year for Vale in conducting its com-munity development program. In the future the program will be adjusted to the local government’s long-term de-velopment planning under a five-yearly roadmap. The local government, the company and the beneficiaries are now walking side by side as the three pillars of the program.

The three pillars row the same boat and sail to the same island of dream. Therefore, there will be no overlapping programs and funds and a waste of time and work.

PT Vale launched the Integrated Community Development Program (PTPM), which includes the Self-Sufficient Village Partnership Program. Support from PT Vale as a compan-ion is purported more as a stimulus to drive self-reliance and self-sufficiency.

Readers, the main story of Halo Vale this time around will feature in brief the PTPM, which will enter its second year running. In the “Performance” column, you may pay attention to the agility of contractors’ employees in detecting threats of landslide in their working area, so as to save many lives and assets. Such agility is testament to successful internalization of safety rule and safe working procedure among employees. It is not exaggerating that the program called Vale Towards Zero Harm 2018 will be realized.

In the “Community” column we feature ECeCe photo club. Apart from indulging passion on photography as a hobby, the club members utilize their skill to support their jobs as geologists in the field, for example taking picture of a landscape to show the original form of the nature.

Enjoy reading.

Dengan nada optimistis, Kepala Dusun Molindowe Aliasar menunjukkan hamparan sawah padi seluas 30 hektar di Desa Lioka, Kecamatan Towuti. Januari 2015 lalu petani Molindowe memiliki saluran irigasi. Alisar yakin, dengan terbangunnya saluran irigasi tersebut produktivitas lahan dapat naik tiga kali lipat. Selama ini, tanpa saluran irigrasi, produktivitas lahan petani di desa itu hanya satu ton per hektar.

Di Sorowako, Kecamatan Nuha, terbangun Komunitas Magani Art. Magani Art memiliki usaha pembuatan sablon kaos setelah anggotanya mengikuti pelatihan 10 hari pada November 2014 lalu. Produk Magani Art lumayan diminati. Selain pesanan individual, komunitas itu mendapat pesanan kolektif, mulai dari tim voli sekolah di Kecamatan Nuha hing-ga kelompok pramuka. Dengan harga jual Rp65.000 dan biaya sablon hanya Rp20.000 per kaos, keuntungan mampu mereka raup.

“Hampir setiap bulan ada pesanan. Sampai sekarang, hasil penjualannya kami putar untuk modal, jadi belum ada pe-masukan. Tapi pelan-pelan kami yakin bisa jalan usaha ini,” kata Abdul Sabaruddin, salah satu anggota Magani Art.

Masih di Nuha, muncul Kelompok Pupuk Kompos Nuha se-telah mengikuti pelatihan pengelolaan limbah organik dan pupuk kompos pada Oktober 2014. Pelatihan berlangsung di Balai Besar Pelatihan Pertanian Batangkaluku, Makassar.

Kelompok ini dimotori 15 pemuda dari tiga desa, Sorowako, Nikkel, dan Magani. Mereka berada di bawah payung Badan Usaha Milik Desa (BUMDes) Nikkel.

“Sejak ikut pelatihan, kami sudah bisa produksi pupuk. Awalnya kami berikan gratis kepada petani untuk diuji coba. Harapan kami, semoga produksi berikutnya lebih banyak, petani tidak lagi kesulitan mendapatkan pupuk, dan kami mendapat pemasukan. Kalau produksi sudah bisa berjalan terus-menerus, kami berharap petani di sekitaran Danau Matano bisa sepenuhnya beralih ke pupuk organik yang ra-mah lingkungan,” kata Ma’mun Masdin, salah satu anggota.

Keterampilan Kelompok Pupuk Kompos Nuha sudah ter-dengar hingga Kecamatan Burau. Akhir Februari 2015 lalu, belasan petani dari kecamatan tersebut berguru membuat MOL (mikro organisme lokal), salah satu komponen membu-at kompos.

Aktivitas-aktivitas tersebut merupakan beberapa pelaksa-naan Program Masyarakat Desa Mandiri (PMDM), bagian dari Program Terpadu Pengembangan Masyarakat (PTMP), sebuah payung pelaksanaan program tanggung jawab sosial perusahaan. PTPM terdiri dari tiga cakupan yakni; PMDM, kemitraan strategis dan kontribusi strategis. Seluruh program dan pendanaan dalam kerangka PTPM ditujukan untuk pemberdayaan masyarakat.

Dalam implementasi PMDM, mulai dari penyusunan, pelaksanaan dan monitoring PMDM melibatkan partisipasi masyarakat. Pelaksanaan PMDM direncanakan berlangsung sepanjang tahun 2013-2017 (lima tahunan) terhadap 38 desa pemberdayaan PT Vale di Luwu Timur, Sulawesi Selatan yang terfokus pada sektor peningkatan kesehatan, ekonomi, pendidikan, serta penguatan dan peningkatan kapasitas masyarakat desa. PT Vale bersama, pemerintah dan masya-rakat sebagai pelaksana PMDM. Sedangkan untuk kemitraan strategis dan kontribusi strategis, merupakan bentuk lain dalam upaya perusahaan merealisasi tanggung jawab sosi-alnya di luar PMDM.

Sebelum meluncurkan PTPM, PT Vale memiliki program community development (Comdev). Namun dalam pelaksa-nannya program tersebut dinilai kurang efektif dan kurang mampu memberdayakan masyarakat. Disharmoni perusa-haan dengan masyarakat dan pemerintah daerah pun kerap terjadi.

Berangkat dari pengalaman tersebut, PTPM kemudian dirancang lebih terarah, sistematis, sinergis dengan pro-gram pembangunan pemerintah dan memiliki panduan pelaksanaan yang baku berupa Rencana Pengelolaan Sosial Program Terpadu Pengembangan Masyarakat (RPS-PTPM). Dalam penyusunan RPS tersebut, PT Vale bersama Pemerin-tah Kabupaten Luwu Timur telah melakukan serangkaian studi sosial, kajian pemangku kepentingan, kajian kebutuh-an masyarakat hingga kajian profil dan potensi masyarakat dan daerah di Kabupaten Luwu Timur.

“Inti penerapan PTPM adalah perubahan paradigma di masyarakat. Program yang direalisasikan berdasarkan kebu-tuhan penerima manfaat dan pembangunan daerah. Bukan apa yang diinginkan,” ujar Presiden Direktur & CEO PT Vale Nico Kanter.

Dalam pelaksanaannya, PTPM juga berjalan berdasarkan prinsip-prinsip keberpihakan kepada masyarakat rentan dan miskin, keberpihakan pada kaum perempuan, bertumpu

pada sumber daya manusia, partisipatif, akuntabilitas, trans-paran, kemitraan, dan kemandirian, dan keberlanjutan.

“Sesuai aturan, program sosial ini merupakan salah satu bagian dari program tanggung jawab sosial perusahaan dan merupakan tanggung jawab perusahaan untuk mengelo-la dampak yang ditimbulkan oleh perusahaan, baik yang positif maupun yang negatif. Penerapan PTPM juga dimotori oleh inisiatif para pemangku kepentingan, baik itu pemerin-tah maupun masyarakat penerima manfaat,” ungkap Direk-tur Komunikasi dan Hubungan Luar PT Vale Basrie Kamba.

Soal pentingnya peran tiga pihak dalam keberhasilan pelaksanaan PTPM itu juga diamini Jalal, pengamat CSR. “Bila tiga pilar ini benar-benar berkoordinasi dengan baik, maka program pemberdayaan akan berjalan baik dan tepat sasaran,” ungkap dia.

Dalam hal implementasi dan sosialisasi PTPM, PT Vale juga memberi dukung terhadap program melalui media radio komunitas dan penerbitan media berkala, Tabloid Verbeek yang memotret pelaksanaan aktivitas-aktivitas dan dinami-ka PTPM di masyarakat.

Penerapan PMDMDi sisi lain, sebagai bagian dari PTPM, pelaksanaan PMDM kian membuktikan bahwa mekanisme partisipasi membe-rikan ruang pengembangan kapasitas masyarakat sebagai motor penggerak program sekaligus menempatkan masya-rakat sebagai mitra pembangunan. Masyarakat tidak lagi menjadi penonton atau sekadar penerima manfaat, mela-inkan sebagai pelaku program pengembangan masyarakat.

Program yang direalisasikan di tiap desa merupakan hasil musyawarah masyarakat desa. Ketika program berjalan, masyarakat desa pula yang memonitor dan mendukung realisasinya. Tim Koordinasi PTPM hanya bertugas sebagai fasilitator pelaksanaan program. Melalui mekanisme PMDM tersebut, diharapkan dapat mendorong masyarakat agar be-nar-benar berdaya dan mandiri. Mereka dikondisikan untuk berpikir jangka panjang sehingga transformasi sosial yang ideal dapat tercapai.

Kata Andi Muhidin, Ketua Komite Desa Matompi, Kecamatan Towuti, PMDM sangat membantu masyarakat dan berbe-da dengan Comdev. “Melalui PMDM, sekarang manfaat ke masyarakat jelas terlihat. Kalau sebelumnya hanya kelompok-kelompok tertentu saja yang dibantu, sekarang bantuan tampak di semua desa, di semua bidang. Harapan saya, dengan adanya program ini, pola pikir masyarakat bisa berubah,” ungkap dia.

“Pendekatan kami tidak sama sekali baru, namun menekan-kan pada penguatan dan pelibatan pilar-pilar pemberda-yaan di tingkat pemerintah dan masyarakat, termasuk juga SDM kami sendiri di PT Vale,” tambah Basrie Kamba.

Pelaksanaan PMDM juga mendapat sambutan positif dari pemerintah daerah. “PMDM merupakan bentuk kerja sama kemitraaan antara masyarakat, Pemerintah Daerah, dan PT Vale guna mengoptimalkan partisipasi antar-pelaku pemba-ngunan untuk kesejahteraan masyarakat yang berkelanjut-an,” ungkap Bupati Luwu Timur Andi Hatta Marakarma.

Pelatihan keterampilan membuat tas dari bahan tali kur merupakan salah satu aktivitas PMDM untuk pengembangan keterampilan warga di daerah pemberdayaan.

New Paradigm of PT Vale Social ProgramPT Vale’s social programs now in synergy with regional development programs. Par ticipation open society. Slowly but surely the community through a learning process.

In his optimistic tone, Molindowe Sub-village Head Aliasar shows the sprawling rice fields covering an area of 30 hect-ares in Lioka Village in Towuti District. In January 2015 Molin-dowe started operating an irrigation network. Alisar believes the irrigation channel will increase production of the rice field by three folds. Without irrigation production only stood at one tone per hectares.

In Sorowako, Nuha District, local community set up Magani Art, which runs a T-Shirt screen printing business following 10 days of training in November last year. The products of Magani Art are quite selling. The home industry receives in-dividual as well as collective orders, such as school volley ball team from Nuha and boy scouts. With each T-Shirt sold at Rp 65,000 and the screen printing costing Rp20,000 the business is profitable.

“Almost every month we receive orders. So far we have used the turnover for investment, therefore we do not enjoy income yet. But slowly but sure we can develop the business,” Abdul Sabaruddin, one of the Magani Art members, said.

In another part of Nuha, a compost fertilizer producing group has emerged after participating in organic waste and compost processing training in October 2014. The training

took place in the Batangkakulu Agricultural Training Center in Makassar.

The driving force behind the group are 15 youths from So-rowako, Nikkel and Magani villages. They operate under the Nikkel village-owned enterprise (BUMDes).

“Since we attended the training, we have managed to produce fertilizer. Initially we distributed the fertilizer to local farmers for free as a trial. We hope when they increase production they do not find difficulties in obtaining fertilizer anymore. For us it means income. If production can sus-tain we hope farmers around Matano Lake to fully move to organic fertilizer which is environmentally friendly,” Ma’mun Masdin, one of the group members, said.

The group’s skills in producing compost and organic fertilizer have been heard as far as Burau district. At the end of Febru-ary 2015, dozens of farmers from the neighboring district came for training to produce local microorganism, one of components to make compost.

Theose activities are some deploy of Independent Village Partnership Program (PMDM) , part of the Integrated Commu-nity Development Program (PTPM), an umbrella program of

PT Vale’s corporate social responsibility. PTPM consists of the three coverage; PMDM, strategic partnerships and strategic contribution. The whole program and funding within the framework of PTPM intended for community empowerment.

In PMDM implementation, ranging from the preparation, implementation and monitoring PMDM involving community participation. PMDM implementation planned to take place throughout the year 2013-2017 (five years) to 38 villages PT Vale’s empowerment in East Luwu, South Sulawesi focused on improving the health sector, the economy, education, and strengthening and capacity building of rural communities. With, the government and society, PT Vale as executor PMDM. As for strategic partnerships and strategic contributions, is another form of the company’s efforts to realized its social responsibility outside PMDM.

PTPM PrinciplesBefore launching the PTPM, PT Vale organized community development program (Community Development). But its implementation was deemed as ineffective and failed to empower the local community. Disharmony between the company on one side and the local government and local people on the other side frequently happened.

Smarting from the experience, PTPM then designed a more focused, systematic, synergistic with the government’s devel-opment program and has a standard operating guidelines in the form of Social Management Plans Integrated Community Development Program (SMP-PTPM). In the preparation of the SMP, PT Vale along the East Luwu regency government has undertaken a series of social studies, stakeholders mapping, community needs assessment to study the profile and poten-tial of communities and regions in East Luwu Regency.

“The core of PTPM is a paradigm shift in society. The program is realized based on the need of beneficiaries and regional development. Not on what they want, “said President Director and CEO of PT Vale Nico Kanter.

In practice, PTPM also goes by the principles of siding with the poor and vulnerable communities, the option for the women, relies on human resources, participation, accountability, trans-parency, partnership, and self-reliance, and sustainability.

“According to the rules, this social program is one part of the program of corporate social responsibility and the respon-sibility of companies to manage the impact caused by the

company, both positive and negative. PTPM implementation is also driven by the initiatives of stakeholders, both govern-ment and beneficiary communities, “said Director of Commu-nications and External Relations of PT Vale Basrie Kamba.

The urgency role in successful implementation of the three parties also agreed PTPM Jalal, observers CSR. “If these three pillars are really coordinate well, the empowerment program will work well and on target,” he said.

On the implementation and dissemination PTPM, PT Vale also gave support to the program through the community radio and media publishing periodical, Verbeek which give the highlight of implementation of the activities and dynamics PTPM in society.

PMDM Implementation On the other hands, as part of PTPM, implementation PMDM increasingly proving that participation mechanisms provide space community capacity development as a driving force to put the community at the same program as a development partner. Society is no longer a mere spectator or beneficiaries, but as actors of society development program. The program is realized in each village is the result of deliberation villagers. When the program runs, the villagers also monitor and sup-port their realization. Coordination Team PTPM only served as a facilitator of the program. Through the PMDM mechanism, is expected to encourage people to really helpless and indepen-dent. They are conditioned to think long-term ideal that social transformation can be achieved.

Andi Muhidin, Chairman of the Committee Matompi Village, District Towuti, said PMDM help people and different from the Comdev. “Through PMDM, benefit to society now clearly visible. If previously program only certain groups are assisted, now help look at all the villages, in all areas. My hope with this program, the public mindset can change, “he said.

“Our approach is not entirely new, but the emphasis on strengthening and involvement of the sides of empowerment at the level of government and society, including our own hu-man resources at PT Vale,” said Basrie Kamba.

PMDM implementation also received a positive response from the local government. “PMDM is a form of cooperation partnerships between the community, local government, and PT Vale in order to optimize the participation of inter-actors of development for the welfare of a sustainable society,” said Regent Andi Hatta Marakarma East Luwu.

Sinergis dengan Program Pembangunan Pemerintah Program sosial PT Vale mengacu regulasi pemerintah dan renc ana pembangunan nasional.

Aktivitas PMDM, bagian dari PTPM disusun bukan berdasarkan keinginan PT Vale, melainkan melibatkan pemerintah dan masyarakat dalam hal usulan, perencanaan, pelaksanaan hingga evaluasi. Maka itu, kemudian penerapan PMDM disebut program kemitraan yang melibatkan tiga pilar.

Ada beberapa aturan dan landasan hukum penerapan PMDM PT Vale. Di antaranya mengacu pada UU Perseroan Terbatas (UU No.40 Tahun 2007, Pasal 74 ayat 1) terkait kewajiban peru-sahaan dalam melaksanakan tanggung jawab sosial dan lingkungan. Kemudian juga merujuk pada Peraturan Menteri Negara BUMN No.4 Tahun 2007 tentang besaran dana dan tatacara pelaksanaan program sosial perusahaan. Termas-uk dokumen AMDAL PT Vale 2008 tentang enam program yang wajib dikelola perusahaan, seperti penyediaan fasilitas dan layanan pendidikan, penyediaan layanan kesehatan bagi masyarakat, inisiatif peningkatan usaha pertanian dan teknik budidaya pertanian, kesempatan usaha lokal, penyediaan sarana dan prasarana umum, hingga pelestarian budaya.

Penerapan PMDM juga diselaraskan dengan kebijakan pemerintah terkait perencanaan dan pelaksanaan pembangunan yakni UU Sistem Perencanaan Pembangunan (UU No. 25 Tahun 2004) dan Peraturan Menteri Dalam Negeri No. 66 Tahun 2007 tentang Perencanaan Pembangu-nan Desa.

Mengacu pada ketentuan tersebut, dalam pelaksanaan teknis PMDM, masyarakat dapat mengajukan usulan kegiatan yang dapat didanai

PMDM melalui mekanisme musyawarah pembangunan desa dengan mempertimbangkan keselarasan terhadap rencana pembangunan (Rencana Pembangunan Jangka Menengah Desa/RPJMDesa ) yang telah ditetapkan. Dari hal itu, nilai-nilai integrasi dan keselarasan PMDM dengan program pembangunan pemerintah. “RPJMDes inilah yang menjadi rujukan mereka. Karena dokumen itu berisi kebu-tuhan desa,” Senior Manajer Program Sosial PT Vale, Busman Dahlan Shirat.

Meningkatkan Kesejahteraan Masyarakat PMDM membuka akses bagi masyarakat untuk terlibat aktif. Baik ketika memberikan usulan kegiatan, mengeksekusi sampai monitoring dan evaluasi pelaksanaan program. Masyarakat menjadi suara dan motor utama program. Dalam pelaksanaannya, setiap desa membentuk komite yang beranggotakan perwakilan dari unsur pemerintah, tokoh masyarakat, pemuda, dan wanita serta masyarakat rentan. Komite inilah yang memberikan masukan dan usu-lan dalam melihat kebutuhan mendasar dalam RPJMDes.

Menurut Sekretaris Tim Koordinasi PTPM yang juga Kepala Badan Pemberdayaan Masyarakat dan Pemerintah Desa Luwu Timur, Andi Tabacina, integrasi PTPM dengan RPJM-Des membuat rencana kerja pembangunan setiap wilayah semakin kokoh dan efektif, karena ada kerja sama antara pemerintah, masyarakat dan pihak swasta. “Juga tidak akan terjadi tumpang tindih anggaran sehingga lebih efisien. Tapi semua program, baik dari PTPM maupun pemerintah, punya tujuan sama, yakni meningkatkan kesejahteraan masyarakat,” tambah dia.

Synergy with the Government Development ProgramPT Vale’s social programs refers to the national regulations and government development plans.

Independent Village Partnership Program (PMDM) activities, part of the Integrated Community Development Program (PTPM) prepared not by the desire of PT Vale, but involving government and society in terms of proposals, planning, implementation and evaluation. Thus, the later application of PMDM called partnership program involving the three parties.

There are some rules and the application of the legal basis PMDM PT Vale. Of which refers to the Limited Liability Com-pany Act (Act 40 of 2007, Article 74, paragraph 1) related liabilities of the company in implementing social and envi-ronmental responsibility. Then also refers to the Regulation

Application of PMDM also aligned with government policies related to the planning and implementation of develop-ment the Development Planning System Law (Law No. 25 of 2004) and Regulation of the Minister of the Interior No. 66 Year 2007 on Rural Development Planning.

Refers to these provisions, the technical implementation PMDM, the public can propose activities that can be funded through the mechanism of consultation PMDM rural devel-opment taking into account the alignment of the develop-ment plan (Middle-term Village Development Planning (MVDP) that has been set. From it, the values of integration and alignment PMDM with government development pro-grams. “This has become a reference MVDP them. Because documents that contain local needs,” said Senior Manager of Social Program PT Vale Busman Dahlan Shirat.

Improve Public WelfarePMDM open access for the public to be actively involved. Well when giving the proposed activities, executing to the monitoring and evaluation of program implementation. The community has become the voice and the main motor program. In practice, every village formed a committee comprising representatives from government, community leaders, youth, and women and vulnerable communities. This committee provides input and proposals in view of the fundamental needs in MVDP.

According to the Secretary of the PTPM Coordinating Team who is also Head of Community Empowerment Board and Village Government East Luwu, Andi Tabacina, PTPM integration with MVDP make action plan for development of each region more robust and effective, as there is coopera-tion between government, the public and private sectors. “Also there will be no overlap budget so more efficiently. But all programs, both of PTPM and the government, have the same goal, namely to improve the welfare of society,” she said.

“Program Membentuk Masyarakat yang Mandiri dan Berdaya”Senior Manager Social Development Program PT Vale ini bic ara tentang pelaksanaan PTPM yang memasuki tahun kedua. Apa tantangan ke depan?

Meski usia PTPM masih muda, benih-benih transformasi sosial telah terlihat di masyarakat. Apa saja benih-benih transformasi sosial itu? Halo Vale mewawancarai Manager Social Development Program PT Vale, Busman Dahlan Shirat. Berikut petikannya.

Apa target PTPM?Perubahan mindset atau pola pikir. Selama ini program com-munity development PT Vale berbasis proposal. Itu terjadi karena dulu program PT Vale juga bersifat karikatif dan tidak berkelanjutan. Selama bertahun-tahun masyarakat seperti-nya tidak diberikan arahan yang baik.

Sejak PTPM berjalan, setidaknya masyarakat sudah meng-ikuti mekanisme dan aturan yang ditetapkan. Khususnya PMDM, yang punya mekanisme bottom up, partisipasi ma-syarakat cukup tinggi, meski dalam tahun pertama pelaksa-naan masih terdapat beberapa desa yang belum mengikuti

secara utuh petunjuk teknis operasional (PTO) PMDM. Ini memang tidak mudah. Karena menyangkut kebiasaan lama, masyarakat perlu diberi waktu melakukan proses pembela-jaran.

Misalnya?Ada masyarakat yang mengusulkan program pembangunan infrastruktur atau fasilitas yang tidak sesuai koridor. Meski demikian, setidaknya, mereka sudah mengikuti aturan PTPM yang tertuang dalam Rencana Pengelolaan Sosial PTPM dan Panduan Teknis Operasional PMDM. Artinya, sudah ada perubahan paradigma. Kalau dulu, mereka dikasih uang tapi tidak terpantau penggunaannya. Sekarang, dengan banyak-nya tahapan dan pihak terlibat, pertanggungjawaban di antara para pelaku kegiatan terbentuk.

Bisa dijelaskan lebih jauh?Contoh yang intangible, soal mekanisme pencairan dana PMDM, misalnya. Sesuai ketentuan, pencairan anggaran bertahap sebanyak tiga kali. Kalau kegiatan dari anggaran tahap pertama belum selesai, mereka tidak bisa mendapat pencairan kedua sebelum ada laporan.

Pernah ada satu desa yang anggarannya di satu tahap belum habis. Mereka bingung karena masih ada sisa, se-dangkan kegiatan yang mereka usulkan dan disetujui Tim Koordinasi PTPM sudah selesai. Akhirnya sisa uang itu tidak mereka habiskan, melainkan dicatat. Di sinilah bukti kalau pertanggungjawaban mulai tumbuh di masyarakat dalam pelaksanaan program.

Setahun pelaksanaan PTPM, apa catatan Anda?Menurut saya, belum bisa kita lihat benefitnya kalau dilihat dari transformasi sosial dari rentan menjadi tidak rentan. Tidak berdaya menjadi berdaya dan mandiri.

Peran kader dan fasilitator program nantinya seharusnya tidak terlalu dominan. Masyarakatlah yang dominan dan menjalankan program ini. Bila itu yang terjadi, bisa dikata-kan mereka sudah mendekati mandiri. Analoginya, PTPM itu pesawat dan PMDM di dalamnya. Pesawat belum lepas landas. Masih di parkiran. Mau take off. Biasanya, kan, ba-nyak penumpang panik kalau mau take off. Nah, ibaratnya, saya menjadi pramugara yang memberikan penjelasan soal keselamatan kepada penumpang.

Di tahun kedua dan ketiga, saya ingin mengatakan, “Selamat siang penumpang. Saat ini kita sedang berada di ketinggian sekian, sekian.” Penumpang tidak panik dan mulai menik-mati penerbangan.

Sedangkan tahun selanjutnya, lima tahun pertama, saya ingin memberitahu kepada penumpang bahwa kita siap-siap untuk mendarat. Di fase ini dan selanjutnya, program tidak lagi terbang dengan pesawat kecil, melainkan dengan pesawat lebih besar, karena ruang lingkup PTPM tidak hanya di Luwu Timur, tapi juga di area operasi PT Vale di wilayah lain.

Jika diskor, berapa nilai pelaksanaan PTPM tahun pertama?Menurut saya masih 6,5, karena masih ada beberapa keku-

rangan seperti saya utarakan tadi. Untuk memulainya, seingat saya, memang agak telat. Empat bulan

pertama, kami fokus membuat perencanaan, sehingga PTPM baru berjalan September 2013.

Berapa besar anggaran PTPM per tahun?Anggaran PTPM sekitar Rp40-50 miliar per tahun, tergantung harga nikel. Sedangkan untuk PMDM, khusus untuk dana stimu-lan atau block grant sebesar Rp17 miliar

per tahun. Ini terdiri dari Rp350 juta per desa dan Rp400 juta per kecamatan pada

periode pelaksanaan 2014. Sedangkan untuk tahun 2015 menjadi Rp400 juta per desa dan

Rp450juta per kecamatan.

Untuk Kemitraan Strategis, seperti apa implementasinya?Salah satu program yang dikembangkan adalah perta-nian berkelanjutan atau sustainable agriculture. Program ini sesuai kerangka acuan yang tertuang dalam dokumen Rencana Pengelolaan Sosial Program Terpadu Pengembang-an Masyarakat.

Tujuan jangka panjang program ini adalah berkontribusi pada peningkatan pendapatan rumah tangga petani di wilayah terdampak operasi Perusahaan. Sedangkan penca-paian strategisnya adanya perbaikan budidaya pertanian dalam komoditas unggulan Kabupaten Luwu Timur. Caranya dengan menerapkan atau mendorong teknologi budidaya yang lebih baik untuk meningkatkan mutu dan produkti-vitas pertanian, sekaligus ramah lingkungan. Tujuan lain adalah terbentuknya kelembagaan petani yang kuat.

Pendek kata, kebijakan diarahkan untuk menjangkau on-farm seperti budidaya pertanian, dan off-farm seperti pe-nguatan kelembagaan, pengolahan pasca-panen, pemasar-an, penunjang pertanian seperti pendidikan, pelatihan dan penyuluhan, penelitian dan pengembangan, permodalan, hingga penyadaran aspek legal.

Apa harapan PT Vale dari implementasi PTPM ini?Pola-pola yang sekarang dijalankan dapat direplikasi di tem-pat operasi kita di daerah lain. Semoga bisa dimulai pada tahun ketiga PTPM.

Busman Dahlan Shirat:

“Program to Build a Self-sufficient and Self-reliance Community”PT Vale’s Senior Manager for Social Development Program talks about implementation of PMDM which is entering its second year. What are its future challenges?

Although PTPM is still young, its seeds of social transforma-tion have been visible in the society. What are the social transformation seeds? Halo Vale interviewed PT Vale’s Senior Manager for Social Development Program, Busman Dahlan Shirat. The following is the excerpt.

What is the target of PTPM?Change in mindset or way of thinking. In the past PT Vale community development program was proposal-based. It happened because PT Vale program was charity in nature and not sustainable. For years people appeared to have received no guidance.

Ever since PTPM was launched, the public has at least been familiar with its mechanism and regulations related to it. Especially for PMDM, which follows the bottom-up mecha-nism, public participation is relatively high although in its initial year its implementation did not comply with the regulations.

For example?There were people who proposed infrastructure and other facility construction programs but failed to adhere to the procedure. Nevertheless they had at least followed the PTPM regulation, which is stipulated in the PTPM Social Manage-ment Planning and PMDM Operational Technical Guidance. That said, there has been a paradigm change. In the past they were given money but their use of the money was not moni-

tored. Now with so many steps and parties involved, account-ability among program activity executors is established.

Could you elaborate?An intangible example concerns the mechanism to disburse PMDM fund. In accordance with the rule, the fund is dis-bursed in three phases. If activities funded by the first part of budget disbursement are not yet completed, the second batch of the fund cannot be disbursed until a report is sub-mitted.

Once a village has left-over fund after completing the first phase of program. The village leaders were confused as the money was not finished while the program which they had proposed and been approved by PTPM coordination team was already completed. Finally they opted not to finish the money but recorded it. This proves that sense of account-ability has started to flourish in the society during program implementation.

After one year of PTPM, what are your comments?In my opinion, we cannot see the benefit yet if we look at the objective of social transformation from vulnerable to not vulnerable, and powerless to self-reliant and self-sufficient.

The role of cadre and program facilitators should in the future be less dominant. It should be the people who play


CO V E R S TO RY

a dominant role and implement the program. If that comes true, we can say the society moves closer to self-reliance. In comparison, PTPM is aircraft and PMDM is inside it. The aircraft is yet to take off, but remains in the parking area prior to takeoff. Usually many passengers will get panic before takeoff. Let say I am a flight attendant whose job is to explain about safety rule to the passengers.

In the second and third years I would like to say: “Good day all passengers. Now we are flying at the altitude of certain meters above the sea level. That’s all.” Passengers no longer panic and start to enjoy the flight.

In the following five years I want to tell the passengers to be ready for landing. In this phase and the next one, the program will no longer a flight with the same small aircraft but a big-ger one because PTPM coverage is not limited to East Luwu, but also PT Vale operational areas in other regions.

How do you score implementation of the inaugural PTPM?I think it scores 6.5 only, because of several shortcomings aforementioned. I remember we were a bit late to start it. We focused on planning in the first four months, so that PTPM could effectively commence in September 2013.

How much is the PTPM budget annually?For PMDM, or programs that are initiated by local people, we allocate Rp17 billion. It is the biggest amount under PTPM scheme apart from Strategic Partnership and Strategic Con-tribution.

How is the Strategic Partnership implemented?One of the programs that we develop is sustainable agricul-ture. The program suits the terms of reference stipulated in the document of Integrated Program Social Management Planning for Community Development.

The long-term objective of this program is to contribute to a hike in the income of farmer households in areas affected by the company operations. The strategy to achieve the goal is through improvement in agricultural cultivation of primary commodities in East Luwu regency. The method is adopt-ing or encouraging a better cultivation technology so as to increase the quality and productivity of agricultural sector while preserving the environment. The other objective is to establish a strong farmer institution.

In a nutshell, the policy is directed toward on-farm, such as agricultural cultivation, and off-farm such as institutional strengthening, post-harvest processing, marketing, support-ing facilities like education, training and counseling, research and development, financing and awareness of legal affairs.

What does PT Vale expect from implementation of PTPM?We hope the patterns that are now in place can be replicated in our operational areas in other parts of the country. Hope-fully this can commence in the third year of PTPM.

Air Bersih untuk Warga Program dilaksanakan di Kecamatan Wasuponda. Pipa sepanjang lebih-kurang lima kilometer memungkinkan air bersih mengalir langsung ke rumah-rumah warga di Dusun Lembo Timur, Lembo Tengah, dan Lembo Barat, Desa Wasuponda. Pembangunan juga dilakukan di Dusun Lowu Barat, Lowu Timur, dan Lowu Selatan, Desa Tabarano. Diperkirakan lebih dari 1.000 KK mendapatkan manfaat dari pembangunan pipa air bersih ini. Nilai pemba-ngunan Rp107 juta.

Elys, warga Dusun Lowu Barat, Desa Tabarano, Kecamatan Wasuponda“Saya tenang karena sudah banyak air. Dulu kami masih memom-pa air dari sumur, baik untuk mencuci maupun untuk memasak. Di musim kemarau masalah air teratasi dengan adanya program pipa air bersih PTPM ini. Selain itu, kami juga bisa menghemat uang listrik dan tidak perlu lagi ke sungai untuk mencuci kalau air sumur kering.”

Pengadaan Jamban Keluarga Program dilakukan di empat wilayah pemberdayaan PT Vale. Di Kecamatan Malili, pengadaan jamban berada di enam desa/du-sun. Sedikitnya, 1.200 KK merasakan hidup bersih dengan memi-liki jamban di rumah masing-masing. Melalui PMDM, tiap kepala keluarga mendapat dukungan dana pengadaan jamban sebesar Rp700 ribu-Rp3,5 juta. Kegiatan ini mendapat sambutan positif dari masyarakat. Tidak sedikit dari mereka merogoh kantong sendiri untuk menyelesaikan pembuatan jamban di rumahnya.

Di Kecamatan Nuha, pengadaan jamban dilakukan di Dusun Ka-yutanduk dan Dusun Bonepute. Untuk Kecamatan Wasuponda, dilaksanakan di Desa Tabarano, Balambano, Kawata, dan Ledu-ledu. Sementara di Kecamatan Towuti berada di Desa Pekaloa, Tole, Loeha, Rante Angin, Tokalimbo, Bantilang, dan Masiku.

Nasir Haruni, Sekretaris Desa Baruga, Kecamatan Malili “Data Kesehatan menunjukkan banyak warga di sini menderita diare. Salah satu penyebabnya mereka tidak memiliki WC atau jamban di rumah, sehingga membuang hajat sembarang. Keberadaan jamban dari PMDM ini diharapkan menja-wab persoalan tersebut. Kegiatan ini juga muncul dari penjaringan usulan dari musyawarah warga desa.”

Membangun Jalan Tani Program bertujuan membuka akses petani dari dan menuju lahan perkebunan atau sawahnya. Hal ini penting untuk mendukung produktivitas petani. Kegiatan pembangunan berlangsung di beberapa desa di dua kecamatan. Misalnya di Kecamatan Wasuponda, terdapat di Desa Kawata, Parumpanai dan Wasuponda. Sedangkan di Kecamatan Towuti terdapat di Desa Loeha dan Tole.

Jalan tani yang dibangun sepanjang 400 meter hingga satu kilometer. Di Desa Wasuponda, sedi-kitnya 3 kelompok tani beranggotakan 25 orang memanfaatkan keberadaan jalan tani ini. Di Langkea Raya, Kecamatan Towuti, jalan tani sepanjang satu kilometer membuka potensi lahan tidur seluas 20 hektar. Pembangunan jalan tani melibatkan swada-ya dan inisiatif warga, baik tenaga, kontribusi lahan, dan dana.

Mata Sehat untuk Anak dan Lansia Pada pertengahan Desember 2014, PT Vale dan Pemerintah Kabupaten Luwu Timur bermitra meng-gelar kegiatan skrining kesehatan mata dan operasi katarak di Kecamatan Wasuponda dan Kecamatan Nuha bagi anak-anak dan Lansia. Di Wasuponda, kegiatan diikuti sekitar 1.000 pelajar dari tujuh sekolah dasar. Sementara operasi katarak ditujukan bagi 20 pasien Lansia di Kecamatan Nuha, berlang-sung di RS Inco, Sorowako. Kegiatan bekerja sama dengan Universitas Hasanuddin, Persatuan Dokter Spesialis Mata Indonesia Cabang Sulawesi Selatan, dan Yayasan Axis Medica Peduli.

Usman Daeng Nawa, petani Desa Parumpanai“Selama bertahun-tahun kami kesulitan ke kebun, sawah, bahkan menuju rumah kami karena akses jalan begitu buruk. Keberadaan jalan tani ini memudahkan akses petani dan warga menuju ke sawah, kebun, atau rumahnya. Kami juga lebih mudah membawa hasil panen atau ketika membawa pupuk.”

Hasmiati Abby, Kepala Sekolah SD 258 Sinongko, Kecamatan Wasuponda“Banyak siswa kami yang punya gangguan penglihatan, dan hal itu mengganggu konsentrasi belajar mereka. Kami senang sekali PTPM bisa menyentuh siswa-siswa kami melalui program ini”.

Introduksi Pertanian Ramah Lingkungan Program dimulai akhir Februari 2015 dengan memperkenalkan teknologi pertanian padi ramah lingkungan bernama SRI Padi Organik. SRI merupa-kan singkatan dari system of rice intensification. Tuju-annya, produktivitas pertanian meningkat signifikan dengan biaya lebih ekonomis.

Intensifikasi produksi juga mengaplikasikan teknolo-gi ramah lingkungan yang berdampak positif bagi kesehatan petani dan masyarakat umum. Petani di-bekali kemampuan membuat pupuk organik secara mandiri dan mengelola lingkungan serta lahannya agar tetap seimbang.

PT Vale bekerja sama dengan Yayasan Aliksa Organik SRI mengadakan pelatihan SRI Organik, pendam-pingan, lokakarya, hingga tahap monitoring dan evaluasi. Fase pelatihan berlangsung lima hari dengan durasi 30 jam belajar, diikuti kelompok tani dari Desa Mahalona, Desa Ledu-ledu, Penyuluh Pertanian Lapangan dari BP3K (penyuluh tingkat ke-camatan), dan BP4K (penyuluh tingkat kabupaten).

Keterampilan untuk Pemuda dan Perempuan Peningkatan kapasitas masyarakat merupakan salah satu fokus implementasi PTPM. Berbagai pelatihan untuk berbagai lapisan, kelompok, dan usia digelar di empat wilayah pemberdayaan PT Vale. Di Nuha, digelar pelatihan pembuatan kompos dan MOL bagi pemuda-pemuda penggerak di tiga BUMDes Sorowako, Magani, dan Nikkel. Di kecamatan ini juga digelar pelatihan sablon untuk pemuda Desa Magani.

Di Kecamatan Towuti, tepatnya di Desa Baruga, dige-lar Kursus Keterampilan Merias bagi ibu-ibu PKK. Di Desa Matompi, di kecamatan yang sama, digelar pelatihan pembuatan makanan ringan berbahan lokal dan suvenir. Sementara di Kecamatan Wasu-ponda, ibu-ibu PKK dan warga dibekali keterampilan membuat kreasi berbahan tali kur dan pembuatan kripik tortilla.

Clean Water for ResidentsThe program was conducted in Wasuponda District. A pipe stretching about five kilometers enables water to directly stream into houses belonging to residents of East Lembo, Central Lembo and West Lembo Sub-villages in Wasuponda Village. Clean water network was also developed in West Lowu, East Lowu and South Lowu in Tabarano Village. Over 1,000 households take advantage of the project worth Rp107 million.

Family Toilet ProcurementThe program was conducted in four PT Vale empowerment areas. In Malili District, family toilet program affected six villages/sub-villages. At least 1,200 households can now live a healthy life because of the private toilet. Through PMDM, each household received financial assistance amounting to between Rp700,000 and Rp3.5 million to build a toilet. People positively responded to the program. Quite many of them dug their pockets to complete the toilet construction.

In Nuha District, toilet construction was conducted in the sub-villages of Kayutanduk and Bonepute. In Wasuponda District, the project was carried out in the villages of Taba-rano, Balambano, Kawata and Ledu-ledu, while in Towuti District the program was realized in the villages of Pekaloa, Tole, Loeha, Rante Angin, Tokalimbo, Bantilang and Masiku.

Elys, resident of West Lowu Sub-village, Tabarano Village, Wasuponda District“I feel secure because water is now abundant. In the past we had to pump water from well either for washing or cooking. In the dry season water shortage has now been addressed thanks to the clean water pipeline built under PTPM. Besides, we can save electricity spending and do not need to go to the river to take water if our well drained.”

Nasir Haruni, secretary of Baruga Village, Malili District“Health data discovered that many people in the village suffered from diarrhea. One of the causes of the outbreak was the absence of family toilet, which driven them to defecate in an inappropriate place. Construction of family toilets under PMDM is expected to address the matter. The activity arose after selecting initiatives discussed in public deliberation organized in each village.”

Build Farming RoadThis program aims to open access to farmers to their rice fields or plantations. This is important to support farmers’ bid to increase productivity. The road con-struction project took place in a number of villages in two districts. In Wasuponda District the project was conducted in the villages of Kawata, Parumpanai and Wasuponda. In Towuti District the project was real-ized in Loeha and Tole Villages.

Each farmer road spans 400 to 1,000 meters. In Wasu-ponda Village, at least three farmer groups consisting 25 members each utilized the road. In Langkea Raya Villsge in Towuti District a one-kilometer-long road has opened the potentials of 20 hectares of idle land. The construction project involved NGO and public support, in the forms of energy, land contribution or donation.

Healthy Eyes for Children and Elderly

In mid-December 2014, PT Vale and East Luwu government collaborated in holding eye screening and free caratact surgery for children and elderly in the districts of Wasuponda and Kecamatan Nuha. In Wasuponda, the activity drew participation of about 1,000 students from seven elementary schools. Cata-ract operation was performed on 20 patients at Inco Hospital in Sorowako, Nuha District. The program involved Hasanuddin University, Association of Indo-nesian Opthalmologists in South Sulawesi and Axis Medica Peduli Foundation.

Usman Daeng Nawa, a Farmer in Parumpanai Village“For years we had been facing difficulties in reaching our farming land and even our homes due to the poor access road. The farmer road facilitated farmers’ movement to their rice fields, plantations and homes. The road also ac-celerate delivery of our products or fertilizer.”

Introduction of Environmentally Friendly AgricultureThe program started at the end of February 2015 with introduction of environmentally friendly agricultural technology called SRI Organic Paddy. SRI stands for system of rice intensification. It aims to significantly increase production with more economical costs.

Production intensification also applies environmen-tally friendly technology that positively impact on farmers’ and general public health. Farmers were trained to produce organic fertilizer independently and manage their environment and agricultural field so as to keep them in balance.

PT Vale, in cooperation with Aliksa Organik SRI Foundation, organized training on SRI Organic, counseling, workshop as well as monitoring and evaluation. Training lasted 30 hours over five days. It was attended by farmer groups from the villages of Mahalona and Ledu-ledu, field agriculture counsel-ors from BP3K (counselors at district level) and BP4K (counselors at regency level).

Life Skills for Youths and WomenCommunity capacity building is one of the focuses of PTPM. PT Vale has held various kinds of training for different layers, groups and age categories in four areas of empowerment. In Nuha the company organized training to produce compost and local microorganism for development prime moving youths in three BUMDes in Sorowako, Magani and Nikkel. In the district the company also held screen printing training for Magani Village youths.

In Towuti District, precisely Baruga Village, the com-pany held a makeup course for local housewives family welfare movement (PKK). In Matompi Village, local women were trained to produce snacks and souvenirs made of local materials. In Wasuponda District PKK activists and local people learned how to produce knitting bags and other handicraft made of weaving yarn, and tortilla cracker.

Mereka Bicara tentang PerubahanImplementasi program sosial PT Vale penuh dinamik a.

They Talk about ChangeImplementation of PT Vale's social program full of dynamics.

“In general the program helped the society. Un-like common CSR PT Vale used to hold, now the company’s human touch is visible. Compared with Crash Program which cost Rp800 million, PMDM fund worth Rp350 million per village is far more beneficial.

If previously only certain groups received assistance, now the aid reaches all villages and all sectors. If the pattern is extending direct cash to the people, no matter how much the value is it will never be enough. In the past the fund disbursed went unchecked, but now however small the amount we will check where the money goes. This is good because it teaches the people to be accountable. I think PMDM has lived up to expectations although there are some minor glitches.”

Andi Ahmad, Head of Ledu-ledu Village, Wasuponda District

“Secara umum, program ini sangat membantu masya-rakat. Berbeda dengan program CSR PT Vale sebelum-nya, sekarang sentuhan ke masyarakat jelas terlihat. Dibandingkan Crash Program yang Rp800 juta, dana PMDM yang Rp350 juta per desa ini jauh lebih terasa manfaatnya.

Kalau sebelumnya hanya kelompok-kelompok ter-tentu saja yang dibantu, sekarang bantuan tampak di semua desa, di semua sektor. Kalau modelnya masya-rakat diberi uang tunai, berapapun yang dikasih pasti tetap kurang. Dulu setelah uang cair tidak ada yang periksa ke mana larinya itu uang. Sekarang, walaupun terima bantuan sedikit, kita dicek terus. Ini bagus, su-paya masyarakat bertanggung jawab. Menurut saya, PMDM sudah berjalan sesuai harapan meskipun masih ada kekurangan dalam beberapa hal.”

“Something has changed significantly concerning accountability and transparency. If we compare PTPM after one year and the first time the program was familiarized, the contrast is stark. In the past the resistance was rampant. We even faced intimida-tion and other challenges. But because the process involved participation and was open, the society then understood the programs were different from the previous ones. PMDM emphasizes the process, instead of who gets what. There is a change in the people’s way of thinking. That is very obvious.”

Andi Narwis, PTPM Regency-level Facilitator

“Ada hal yang berubah secara signifikan terkait dengan akuntabilitas dan transparansi. Kalau kita bandingkan setelah PTPM berjalan satu tahun dengan ketika program ini pertama kali disosialisasikan, terasa sekali bedanya. Dulu gejolak besar sekali, bahkan sampai ada intimidasi dan sebagainya. Namun karena prosesnya kita lakukan secara partisipatif dan terbuka, masyarakat sadar bahwa program ini beda dengan program-program sebelumnya. PMDM lebih mene-kankan pada proses, bukan pada siapa mendapat apa. Ada perubahan pola pikir di masyarakat. Itu yang sangat nyata.”

Andi Narwis, Fasilitator PTPM Kabupaten

“So far I appreciate the implementation of PTPM healthcare program. Its concept which connects the local government’s strategic plan is great. We can feel its difference from the program in the past. I hope the spirit of health-oriented development will carry on and set a platform for planning of the program in the future. As we all know, improvement in education and health sectors is a prerequisite for achievement of human development goals.”

Andi Tulleng, MPH, Head of Health Promotion and Community Empowerment, East Luwu Health Agency

“Sejauh ini, saya mengapresiasi pelaksanaan PTPM kesehatan. Konsep yang menyinergikan program PTPM dengan rencana strategis Pemerintah Daerah menurut saya bagus sekali. Terasa perbedaannya dengan konsep program terdahulu. Saya berharap, semangat pembangunan berwawasan kesehatan bisa terus dibawa dan menjadi landasan penting dalam menyusun rencana program. Seperti kita ketahui bersama, perkuatan sektor pendidikan dan kesehatan merupakan prasyarat mutlak tercapainya pemba-ngunan manusia.”

Fasilitas Baru Coal TransportCoal Transpor t Projec t (C TP) di Pelabuhan Balantang menjadik an bongk ar muat logistik dan k arung nikel PT Vale lebih cepat dengan volume lebih besar.

Konversi HSFO (high sulphur fuel oil) ke batubara oleh PT Vale di tiga dryer pabrik pengolahan membuat kebutuhan pasokan batubara semakin tinggi. Untuk memenuhi tun-tutan tersebut, dibuatlah Coal Transportation Project (CTP) di Pelabuhan Balantang, Malili, Luwu Timur.

Pada kuartal terakhir 2014, CTP memasuki babak baru realisasi infrastruktur dan peralatan. Salah satu bagian terpenting adalah perakitan dan pemasangan E-Crane, alat angkut batubara dan logistik pabrik pengolahan seperti silika dan sulfur dari tongkang ke area penyimpanan (stoc-kpile) di Pelabuhan Balantang.

“Tujuan CTP untuk meningkatkan kapasitas angkut ba-tubara di Pelabuhan Balantang. Dari semula sebesar 250 ribu metrik ton menjadi 400 ribu metrik ton. Hal ini sejalan dengan pembangunan dan telah beroperasinya Coal Con-version Project Tahap I yang berada di Plant Site,” ungkap Project Manager CTP, Jeff Hughes.

E-Crane merupakan salah satu komponen penting proyek ini. Pasalnya, bila E-Crane tersebut beroperasi, volume pembongkaran batubara dari tongkang ke area penyim-panan bisa dua kali lipat dari yang selama ini berjalan. “Konkretnya, kapasitasnya angkut batubara E-Crane bisa mencapai 9 tongkang per bulan, sulfur 3 kali per tahun

KINER JA

masing-masing 22.000 ton per motor vessel, dan preloa-ding nikel ke tongkang 2 kali per bulan,” ujar Supervisor Material Handling Pelabuhan Balantang, Jasman Pawakka.

Tanpa E-Crane, pengangkutan batubara menggunakan bulk dan langsung diambil eskavator berkapasitas 4-6 ku-bik. Dengan cara lama ini, untuk mengangkut 1 tongkang batubara berkapasitas 4.000 ton menghabiskan waktu 11 jam. Sedangkan untuk preloading kantong nikel ke tongkang dengan menggunakan Crane Manitowoc 230 T dengan muatan 188 kantong nikel cuma butuh waktu tiga jam.

E-Crane buatan Belgia ini termasuk tipe tercanggih dengan kapasitas 10 ton sekali angkut. Selain itu, E-Crane dapat menjangkau area lebih luas di tongkang batubara, karena bisa berpindah tempat (mobile), sehingga peker-jaan bongkar muat logistik dan nikel olahan PT Vale lebih efisien dan efektif.

Selesai 2016CTP terdiri atas dua proyek di dua area. Yang pertama di Pe-labuhan Balantang dengan nilai investasi sebesar 17,5 juta dollar AS dan CTP Plant Site senilai 23,3 juta dollar AS. Area penyimpanan batubara CTP Balantang berkapasitas 24.000 ton dari sebelumnya 20.000 ton.

“Fasilitas penyimpanan batubara tidak sertamerta mening-katkan kapasitas namun akan memisahkan penyimpanan ke tempat penyimpanan berdinding beton. Hal ini untuk mengurangi kerugian bila terjadi kebakaran. Namun tujuan utama proyek ini adalah mempercepat aktivitas pengang-kutan dan bongkar muat,” tambah Jeff.

Proyek ini melibatkan tiga kontraktor. Pertama, PT Truba yang bertugas menyelesaikan pekerjaan kelistrikan, me-kanikal, struktur dan sipil. “Truba juga yang menyelesaikan perakitan E-Crane,” ungkap Jeff. Kedua, PT Putra Karebbe Utama yang bertugas menyelesaikan konstruksi fasilitas antisipasi bahaya api di Pelabuhan Balantang, dan yang terakhir adalah Beca untuk menyelesaikan desain dan revisi persiapan CTP.

Departemen-departemen di PT Vale yang terlibat dan mendukung realisasi proyek ini adalah Engineering and Technical Development Services (Procurement, Capital Project dan Construction Management), Construction Services, dan Mining untuk menyuplai kerikil dan semen untuk pekerjaan sipil.

“Tantangan terbesar pekerjaan ini adalah koordinasi sela-ma pengerjaan konstruksi. Termasuk pemesanan material proyek. Kami juga berupaya mengurangi kontaminasi ba-tubara selama penggalian di beberapa area yang terbatas untuk penyimpanan material proyek,” ungkap Jeff.

CTP dimulai sejak 2006, namun sempat berhenti pada 2008. Proyek ini dilanjutkan tahun 2012 setelah melalui beberapa revisi. CTP ditargetkan selesai Oktober 2016. Pada Januari 2015, Khanif Khaidar dan Ridwan Setiawan ditunjuk sebagai manajer proyek dan konstruksi CTP Balantang. Sedangkan Jeff Hughes memegang proyek Furnace Electrode Stability. “Ridwan dan Khanif merupa-kan orang-orang yang bisa diandalkan untuk melanjutkan proyek ini. Mereka memiliki pengalaman dan wawasan civil engineering dan manajerial yang bagus,” ujar Jeff.[]

New Facility for Coal TransportCoal Transpor t Projec t (C TP) at Balantang Por t has precipitated PT Vale Logistics and nickel bag loading and offloading with a higher volume.

Conversion of HSFO (high sulfur fuel oil) into coal by PT Vale in three dryers of its processing plant has increased the company’s demand for coal supply. To meet the rising demand Coal Transportation Project (CTP) facility at Balantang Port in Malili area in East Luwu regency is needed.

E-crane as one of one of the projects to accelerate the process of loading and unloading in Pelabuhan Balantang.



In the final quarter of 2014, CTP began a new phase of equipment and infrastructure realization. One of the most important parts is assembling and installation of E-Crane, transportation of coal and processing plant logistics such as silica and sulfur from barges to the stockpile area in Balantang Port.

“CTP is intended to increase the capacity of coal transpor-tation from, Balantang Port, previously 250,000 metric tons to 400,000 MT. This goal is in line with the development and operation of Coal Conversion Project phase I at the Plant Site,” CTP Project Manager, Jeff Hughes, said.

The E-Crane is one of the important components for the project. The reason is that if the E-Crane operates, the vol-ume of coal discharged from barges to the stockpile area will double the current mark.

“To be clear, the capacity of coal handling using E-Crane will unload 9 barges per month, for sulfur 3 times a year with 22,000 tons per motorized vessel and nickel pre-load-ing to barges twice a month,” material handling supervisor at Balantang Port, Jasman Pawakka, said.

Without E-Crane, coal transportation relied on bulk woukd be directly taken by excavator with a capacity of 4-6 cubic meters. Using the old method, it would take 11 hours to unload 1 barge of coal with a capacity of 4,000 metric tons. It will take only three hours to preload nickel bags into a barge using the existing Manitowoc 230 Metrictonne crane with a capacity of 188 nickel bags.

Belgian-made E-Crane is classified as the most sophisti-cated facility with a capacity of 10 metric tonnes per grab. Besides E-Crane can reach a larger area of the coal barge because it is mobile and has a longer boom reach, so that logistics and PT Vale nickel end-product loading and off-floading will be more efficient and effective.

Completion in 2016CTP consists of two projects in two areas. The first is lo-cated in Balantang Port involving US$17.5 million in invest-ment and the second is CTP Plant Site worth $ 23.3 million. The nickel stockpile area in CTP Balantang can accommo-date 24,000 tons from previously 20,000 tons.

“The coal storage facility will increase slightly but will seg-regate coal storage into concrete bunkers to reduce loss in

event of fire. The primary aim of the project is to speed up coal loading and offloading activities,” Jeff said.

The project involves three contractors. First is PT Truba which is responsible for all major electrical, mechanical, structural and civil construction works. “Truba will also as-semble E-Crane,” Jeff said. Second, PT Putra Karebbe Utama who have constructed a fire threat anticipation facility at Balantang Port. Lastly, Beca having completed the design for CTP.

Departments within PT Vale which are involved and sup-port realization of the project are Engineering and Techni-cal Development Services (procurement, project and con-struction management), Construction Services and Mining (supply of aggregate and concrete for civil construction).

“One of the biggest challenges for realization of the project is coordination during construction. This includes procurement of goods for the project. We also have to min-imise coal-contaminated fill during excavation as limited areas to store and process this material,” Jeff said.

CTP began in 2006, but was suspended in 2008 (because nickel price nose dived and the company attempted ef-ficiency—Editor). The project was restarted in 2012 after undergoing several times of revision. CTP is targeted to finish in October 2016.

In January 2015, Khanif Khadir and Ridwan Setiawan have been appointed as new project and construction manag-ers for CTP-Balantang. This will allow Jeff to focus on the Furnace Electrode Stability project. “Ridwan and Khanif are the best guys to continue the project on my behalf through to completion, as they have a strong civil engi-neering background and excellent project management skills” Jeff said.[]

“Ternyata, 25 tahun bekerja di PT Vale tidak terasa. Begitu banyak suka dan duka. Banyak tantangan yang dihadapi perusahaan dan kami alami. Mulai dari krisis ekonomi 1998, efisiensi karyawan pada 2005, akuisisi Inco ke Vale pada 2007, hingga kondisi serba tidak jelas pasca peris-tiwa tersebut. Situasi menantang itu berhasil dilewati dengan baik. Saya, mewakili teman-teman QCC sangat mensyukuri hal tersebut. Doa kami agar kita ke depan lebih baik,” tutur Said Hasan, Manager of Industrial Rela-tions. Said adalah 1 dari 12 karyawan PT Vale yang pada 2014 resmi menjadi anggota Quarter Century Club (QCC). Inilah klub beranggotakan karyawan PT Vale yang telah berkarir selama 25 tahun.

Pengukuhan dan pemberian penghargaan anggota baru QCC tersebut berlangsung di Gedung Ontaeluwu, Soro-wako, akhir Oktober silam. Diberikan pula penghargaan kepada sembilan karyawan yang telah memasuki masa pensiun. Penghargaan disampaikan oleh CEO & Presiden Direktur PT Vale, Nico Kanter, dan Wakil Presiden Direktur, Bernardus Irmanto.

Jurdin, Manager Mine Stripping North East, mewakili para pensiunan, menyampaikan apresiasi atas dukungan ma-najemen selama mereka berkarir di PT Vale. “Kami bangga dapat berkarya di PT Vale. Bekerja sampai sampai pensiun membuktikan kami adalah pekerja keras, tekun, dan setia. Kami berharap, ketika pensiun, kami tidak dilupakan. Silaturahmi perlu dijaga,” ujar pria yang telah bekerja 11 tahun di PT Vale ini.

Tetap Sehat Dalam sambutannya CEO & Presiden Direktur PT Vale, Nico Kanter, mengucapkan terima kasih atas dedikasi dan komitmen para karyawan dan pensiunan kepada perusahaan. Termasuk dukungan keluarga. “Semoga jerih payah Anda semua dapat dinikmati generasi berikutnya di perusahaan saat ini. Manajemen juga memohon maaf bila ada kesalahan,” ungkap Nico Kanter. Nico Kanter juga berpesan agar para pensiunan tetap menjaga kesehatan dan keselamatan selama masa purna bakti.

Untuk memeriahkan acara, digelar penampilan Vale Music Community (VMC) Band dan Wijazz Band. Sebagai pun-caknya ditampilkan artis ibukota Imey Mey yang memba-wakan hits-nya “Cabe-cabean”.[]

Quarter Centur y Club


INTER AKSI

Dedication, Commitment and LoyaltyTwelve PT Vale employees officially installed as new members of the Q uar ter Centur y Club.

“How time flies when you’ve worked 25 years with PT Vale. There are sad and joyful moments. We and the company have faced many challenges. Beginning from the eco-nomic crisis in 1998 to employee efficiency in 2005, Inco’s acquisition of Vale in 2007 and the uncertainties following these events. We have managed to ride through these challenging times. On behalf of my colleagues at QCC, we are grateful for this. We pray for a brighter future,” related Said Hasan, Manager of Industrial Relations. Said is one of 12 PT Vale employees who officially became members of the Quarter Century Club (QCC) in 2014. This club honors PT Vale employees who have attained 25 years of service with the company.

The inauguration and award-giving ceremony for QCC’s new members was held at Ontaeluwu Building, Sorowako last October. Awards of appreciation were also bestowed upon nine employees who have entered retirement. The awards were presented by PT Vale CEO and President Di-rector, Nico Kanter, and Vice President Director, Bernardus Irmanto.

Jurdin, Mine Stripping North East Manager, speaking on behalf of retirees, expressed his appreciation for the sup-port from company management throughout their career at PT Vale. “We take pride in being part of PT Vale. Work-ing until retirement age proves that we are hard workers, diligent and loyal employees. We hope that we will not be forgotten when we leave here. We must maintain this friendship,” said Jurdin who has worked for 11 years at PT Vale.

Stay HealthyIn his address, PT Vale CEO and President Director, Nico Kanter, extended his deepest appreciation to the unwa-vering dedication and commitment that employees and retirees have given to the company, including support from their families. “Hopefully your hard work can also be enjoyed by the future generations of this company. The management also apologizes for any inconvenience that may have been caused,” stated Nico Kanter. The President Director also reminded pensioners to keep healthy and safe during their retirement.

Musical performances from the Vale Music Community (VMC) Band and We Just Band enlivened the event. The highlight of the event was the appearance of singer Imey Mey performing one of her hits “Cabe-cabean”.[]

Leadership Program Series

Membentuk Pemimpin yang Andal dan EfektifProgram usungan HRPD ini direnc anak an digelar untuk delapan angk atan hingga Juni 2015.

Sebanyak 20 peserta dari level manager dan gen-eral manager berkumpul di ruang A1 HRPD, Sorowako, pertengahan September silam. Mereka adalah peserta angkatan pertama Leadership Program Series, program yang diprakarsai Human Resource & People Development Department (HRPD).

Program ini diselenggarakan untuk meningkatkan kemam-puan manajerial para pemimpin di PT Vale. Selama empat hari peserta mengikuti materi-materi kepemimpinan dan manajerial dengan tajuk “Roadmap to Managerial Effec-tiveness”, dipandu Siswanto Karyogoeno dari Indonesia Professional Development Centre.

Materi pelatihan didesain agar para manager dan general manager—ujung tombak perusahaan—memiliki kompe-tensi untuk mengarahkan karyawan bekerja efektif, efisien, kolektif, dan sesuai prosedur. “Program ini bertujuan mem-beri penyegaran dan wawasan baru bagi leader mengenai pengelolaan angota tim dalam konteks mencapai tujuan strategis perusahaan secara terstruktur,” ujar Manager of Talent Development, Gatot Budiawan.

Senior General Manager of Human Resources, Saiful Syahman, mengharapkan pelatihan dapat membekali para leader kemampuan mengelola anggota tim dalam menyelesaikan pekerjaan, mengoptimalkan sumber daya yang tersedia, serta mendorong peserta untuk konsisten menerapkan prinsip-prinsip pengelolaan pekerjaan sesuai peran masing-masing di organisasi.

Materi pelatihan, antara lain, dasar-dasar dan karakter kepemimpinan, analogi bisnis, berpikir strategis, hingga mengatur tujuan bersama. Disajikan dengan memadukan metode simulasi, games, dan brainstorming sehingga kelas menjadi hidup.

Menurut Siswanto, kemampuan manajerial masih menjadi persoalan klasik di kalangan leader. “Sebenarnya mereka tahu ada yang kurang optimal, namun kadang tidak memi-liki solusi untuk menghadapinya,” ujarnya.

Siswanto memberikan rumus manajerial dengan istilah “ABG PRO”: align with goal (ABG) atau selaras dengan tujuan. Align with behavior (selaras dengan perilaku) dan process untuk istilah PRO. “Intinya, seorang pemimpin perlu menyelaraskan target kerjanya dengan perilaku positif dan dapat memacu sikap proaktif anggota timnya agar memahami tantangan yang dihadapi,” ujar Siswanto.

Berbagi IdeErlina Yuliarti, Senior IT Business Partner, mengakui pelatihan ini bermanfaat bagi dirinya sebagai leader dalam membentuk tim kerja yang kompak dan efektif. “Pelatihan ini memberikan pemahaman baru bagi saya, khususnya dalam mengelola tujuan dan mengomunikasikannya ke-pada tim agar target kerja sesuai rencana,” tutur Erlina.

Menurut Erlina, tantangan para leader selama ini adalah mengelola informasi dan persepsi target kinerja antara leader dan anggota tim. “Salah satu kunci sukses keberhasi-lan itu adalah seluruh tim dan leader-nya proaktif berbagi ide dan melakukan inovasi,” tambah Erlina.

Pelatihan direncanakan digelar setiap bulan hingga Juli 2015 melalui delapan angkatan. Total peserta mencapai 158 orang. “Namun bila ada kebutuhan, bisa tambah dua angkatan lagi,” kata Gatot.[]

Leadership Program Series

Developing Competent and Effective LeadersThis program which comes under HRPD will be held for eight batches of par ticipants until June 2015.

Twenty participants from the manager and general manager level convened at A1 HRPD Room, Sorowako in mid-September. They were the first batch of the Leader-ship Program Series spearheaded by the Human Resource & People Development Department (HRPD).

The program was initiated to hone the managerial skills of PT Vale leaders. For four days, participants were given ma-terials on leadership and management under the theme “Roadmap to Managerial Effectiveness”, and facilitated by Siswanto Karyogoeno from Indonesia Professional Devel-opment Centre.

Training materials were designed for managers and gener-al managers at the frontline of the company to acquire the necessary competencies to guide employees into working more effectively, efficiently and collectively according to existing procedures. “This program aims to refresh leaders and broaden their horizons on team management in a view to accomplish strategic corporate goals in a structural manner,” explained Gatot Budiawan, Manager of Talent Development.

Senior General Manager of Human Resources, Saiful Syah-man said that such training is expected to equip leaders with the capacity to manage team members in making

sure that work is completed, available resources optimized, while encouraging participants to consistently apply the principles of work management according to their respec-tive roles in the organization. Training materials among others covered the basics of leadership and its characteris-tics, business analogy, strategic thinking and management of common goals. Various training methods were adopted including simulation, games and brainstorming which helped boost the enthusiasm of participants.

According to Siswanto, managerial capacity remains to be a classic issue among leaders. “They are actually aware that efforts are less optimal yet may not have the solution to deal with it.”

Siswanto taught participants the managerial formula known as “ABG PRO”. ABG stands for align with behavior and goal, whereas PRO is short for process. “Essentially, a leader needs to align his or her work targets with a posi-tive attitude, while encouraging team members to act proactively in order for them to better understand the challenges that they face,” explained Siswanto.

Sharing IdeasErlina Yuliarti, Senior IT Business Partner, mentioned how the training program has benefited her as a leader in form-ing a solid and effective team. “Training provided me with a new understanding, particularly in managing goals and communicating them to the team in order to meet targets as planned,” said Erlina.

According to Erlina, one of the challenges for leaders concerns information management and perceptions on performance targets between leaders and team members. “A key to success is the proactive attitude of leaders and all team members in sharing ideas and innovating,” she added.

Training will be held every month until July 2015 for eight batches. There will be a total of 158 participants. “How-ever, if necessary there can be an additional two batches,” informed Gatot.[]

PT Vale Punya Teknologi Baru Pengolahan LimbahFasilitas pengolahan limbah Inalahi memungkink an limbah pabrik dan area tambang menjadi zat organik yang mudah terurai.

Fasilitas Pengolahan Limbah Inalahi akhirnya beroperasi Oktober 2014 silam, setelah dibangun selama dua tahun. Keberadaan fasilitas ini, yang juga disebut Inalahi Waste Segregation Plant, memungkinkan limbah perusahaan menjadi limbah organik yang mudah terurai alami.

Secara bertahap, PT Vale nantinya juga dapat menutup ko-lam-kolam limbah (landfill) konvensional. “Proyek ini juga bagian dari rencana PT Vale untuk memenuhi kriteria dan regulasi lingkungan yang ditetapkan internal dan peme-rintah,” ungkap Richard Jones, Project Manager dari Capital Project Management.

Bagian hilir fasilitas ini dilengkapi pengolahan

limbah cair (leach).

ATMOSFER

Fasilitas pengolahan limbah PT Vale di Inalahi. Fasilitas mampu mengolah limbah berbahaya menjadi limbah organik.

Proyek Inalahi dilengkapi teknologi yang memungkinkan limbah cair pabrik dan area tambang yang dibuang ke landfill sudah berbentuk sampah organik. Sementara di bagian hilir, fasilitas ini dilengkapi pengolahan limbah cair (leach).

Pembangunan fasilitas ini dilakukan bertahap. Bermula dari pembangunan fisik fasilitas pengolahan pada No-vember 2011. Selanjutnya, untuk mendukung operasional fasilitas, dilakukan instalasi sumber daya listrik permanen pada Maret 2012. Dua tahap terakhir, pembangunan fisik landfill dan pembangunan fisik leach treatment plant (LTP) dilakukan masing-masing pada Oktober 2012 dan Juni 2014.

Pembangunan semua fasilitas selesai pada Oktober 2014 dan langsung beroperasi. Dalam pengelolaan selanjutnya, digawangi General Facilities & Services Department (GFS), yang juga sponsor proyek dan pemilik fasilitas.

Pelaksanaan proyek ini melibatkan multidepartemen. Mulai dari Mine Department yang memberikan izin peng-gunaan lahan bekas tambangnya (Inalahi), Environment,

Health & Safety Department sebagai regulator aspek lingkungan internal, dan Utilities Department sebagai pelaksana operasi sumber daya listrik.

“Dua terakhir adalah Central Engineering Department yang bertugas mendesain dan melakukan pengawasan konstruksi dan Capital Project Management sebagai pelak-sana budget management dan resource,” papar Shafwan Riza Djuaini, Project Engineer dari Central Engineering Department.

Tantangan Pengerjaan proyek di setiap area juga melibatkan lima perusahaan kontraktor, yakni kontraktor konstruksi waste segregation plant dengan total pekerja 22 orang, kontrak-tor konstruksi sumber daya listrik (11 orang), kontraktor konstruksi fisik landfill (24 orang), dan kontraktor konstruk-si LTP (40 orang).

Menurut Shafwan, tantangan pengerjaan proyek adalah cuaca dan bentang alam lokasi yang merupakan bekas area tambang. “Pengerjaan landfill bertepatan dengan musim hujan. Sudah dikeruk di hari sebelumnya, terisi lagi air dan lumpur karena hujan. Jadi perlu ekstra,” ujar dia. Hebatnya, dari sisi safety, tidak ada pekerja yang mengala-mi cedera dan sejenisnya.[]

PT Vale Adopts New Technology of Waste TreatmentInalahi waste treatment facility enables conversion of fac tor y and mining area waste into organic substance which is biodegradable.

Inalahi waste treatment facility has finally started its operation since October 2014 after two years of construction. The facility, called In-alahi Waste Segregation Plant, can change factory waste into organic waste which is biodegradable.

Gradually PT Vale will in the future shut down its conventional landfills. “The project is also part of PT Vale’s plan to meet the environmental criteria and regulation which are sanctioned internally and by the government,” Richard Jones, Project Manager of Capital Project Manage-ment, said.

The Inalahi project is equipped with high technology that enables the company o dump its factory liquid and mining area waste into landfills in the form of organic garbage. In the downstream part, the facility has leach treatment equipment.

Construction of the waste segre-gation facility was conducted in phases. It started with physical construction of treatment facility in November 2011, followed by instal-lation of permanent power sources in March 2012. The final two stages, physical construction of landfill and leach treatment plant, were con-ducted in October 2012 and June 2014 respectively.

Construction of all the facilities was completed in October 2014 and they were immediately operational. The opera-tion of the facilities falls under the auspices of General Facilities & Services Department (GFS), which both was the project sponsor and is owner of the plants.

The project involved various departments, including the Mine Department which issued the permit to use its old mining area in Inalahi, the Environment, Health & Safety Department as regulator of the internal environmental aspect, and the Utilities Department as the operator of power sources facility.

“The last two are the Central Engineering Department which designed and supervised construction and the Capi-tal Project Management as executor of budget manage-ment and resource,” Shafwan Riza Djuaini, Project Engineer from the Central Engineering Department, said.

Challenges Implementation of the project in each area also involved five contractors. The contractor of construction of waste segregation plant employed 22 workers, the contractor of permanent power source construction employed 11 people, the contractor of landfill physical construction employed 24 people and the contractor of leach treatment plant construction hired 40 workers.

Shafwan said the challenges for the project were weather and natural span of the site, which formerly was a mining area. “The construction of landfill coincided with the rainy season. We excavated the area but on the next day rain-water and mud filled the hole. It required extra efforts,” he said. Amazingly from the safety side, no worker was injured or involved in any kind of occupational accident.[]

Ramli M. Lisi

Jatuh Cinta pada TrukPengalaman puluhan tahun menjadik an pria ini diperc aya sebagai salah satu supir truk spesialis pembawa material kebutuhan pengolahan nikel PT Vale.

Pukul 9.45, Gate 6, Plant Site Sorowako, akhir Oktober silam, sebuah truk Volvo tipe Primemover FH16 siap berto-lak. Di balik kemudi truk raksasa itu, Ramli Muhammad Lisi siap bertugas. Dialah salah satu material transport operator berpengalaman yang dimiliki PT Vale. Hari itu, dia ditugas-kan mengirimkan 12 karung nikel ke Pelabuhan Balantang, Malili, untuk kemudian dikirim ke Jepang. Total tonase material yang diangkut mencapai 36 ton.

Mengendarai truk pengangkut material puluhan ton bukanlah perkara mudah. Meski truk 16.000 cc keluaran ta-hun 2013 itu dapat digenjot hingga 550 tenaga kuda, demi keselamatan, truk tidak boleh melaju kencang. Ramli harus mengendarai sesuai ketentuan keselamatan perusahaan, yakni 20-50 kilometer per jam.

Ketika Halo Vale menemani Ramli berkendara, butuh waktu 1,5 jam untuk sampai di Pelabuhan Balantang yang hanya berjarak 60 kilometer dari Sorowako. “Memang harus begini mengendarainya. Perlu ekstra hati-hati dan sabar,” ungkapnya.

Dalam sehari, setiap operator bertugas mengirimkan mate-rial dari dan ke Pelabuhan Balantang-Sorowako sebanyak dua kali (trip) dalam satu shift. Material yang diangkut ada-lah kebutuhan pabrik pengolahan, seperti batubara, silika, atau belerang. Namun kadang mereka juga mengangkut peti kemas berisi pipa, kabel, batu tahan api, atau barang-barang proyek dan kebutuhan perkantoran lainnya.

Rata-rata, sekali angkut material antara 45-48 ton untuk batubara, silika, dan belerang. Sedangkan peti kemas bisa berbobot antara 10-30 ton. “Namun angka itu bisa naik. Tergantung kebutuhan pabrik,” tambah Ramli.

Sepanjang perjalanan menuju Pelabuhan Balantang, Ramli dan supir truk material lainnya diwajibkan melakukan pengecekan truk. Ada dua titik pengecekan, di poros jalan yang berada Puncak Wasuponda dan Puncak Balambano. Beberapa komponen truk yang perlu dicek adalah ban, rem, hingga steer gauge temperature. “Bagian ini tidak boleh sampai panas. Kalau overheat, rem bisa tidak ber-fungsi,” ujar Ramli sambil menunjuk cakram rem di bagian dalam pelek ban depan.

Volvo FH16 yang biasa kendarai Ramli sebenarnya dileng-kapi fitur keselamatan yang mumpuni. Memiliki engine break yang baik, ditopang 22 ban, dan pengaturan kecepa-tan bervariasi yang memudahkan pengemudi menguasai tanjakan atau turunan ekstrem. Misalnya, jalanan logistik dari Sorowako menuju Balantang.

Meski demikian, keselamatan berkendara bukan semata-mata soal teknologi truk. “Truk ini super nyaman. Namun kenyamanannya jangan sampai membuat kita terlena,” tutur pria kelahiran Lampia, Luwu Timur, 40 tahun silam ini.


PROFIL

Kata Ramli, memacu truk material juga perlu feeling untuk menakar laju kendaraan. Bila tidak pintar, truk dapat terba-lik. “Perlu ekstra hati-hati ketika jalan lurus. Jangan ngebut, karena kalau nemu tikungan, truk bisa terbalik,” kata dia.

Hampir pukul 12 siang. Akhirnya kami tiba di Pelabuhan Balantang. Truk merapat ke area bongkar-muat karung nikel. Ramli keluar dari kabin dan naik ke bak. Supir truk material juga diwajibkan membantu operator forklift untuk mengangkat karung nikel keluar dari bak. Dalam 15 menit, pekerjaan itu selesai. Tanpa jeda, Ramli langsung mengen-darai truknya menuju penyimpanan batubara. Di sana bak truknya diisi batubara untuk dibawa ke Sorowako. Hal itu menegaskan pria yang telah dikaruniai enam orang anak ini bekerja efektif dan efisien.

Di kabin truk terdapat bekal kue buatan sang istri sebagai pengganjal perut bila lapar datang. “Batubara, trip saya terakhir hari ini. Saya mau menyelesaikan pekerjaan ini dulu. Makan siang bisa nanti kalau tiba di Sorowako,” ujar Ramli.

Berpengalaman Ramli sudah bekerja selama 10 tahun di PT Vale. Sejak bergabung dia langsung dipercaya sebagai supir truk pengangkut material. “Mungkin karena pengalaman saya selama 20 tahun membawa truk,” ujar dia.

Sebelumnya, Ramli bekerja sebagai supir truk perusahaan bus penumpang di Blitar. Kemudian menjadi supir truk di beberapa perusahaan kayu di Gorontalo, Ambon, hingga Papua. Ditanya apakah tidak bosan menjadi supir truk, dia menjawab, “Saya sudah jatuh cinta pada truk. Truk seperti rumah kedua saya.”

Supervisor Material Handling, Irawan Kasim, mengatakan, Ramli adalah pekerja yang patuh mengikuti prosedur kerja dan peduli keselamatan. “Dia selalu mengingatkan rekan kerjanya dan berbagi informasi tentang safety melalui radio, safety talk, maupun dari kantor kalau sudah selesai membawa kendaraan,” ungkap Irawan.

Ramli juga memiliki pengetahuan teknis yang baik soal truk dan berkendara aman. “Tahun 2012, dia masuk lima besar di kompetisi mengendarai truk dengan bahan bakar yang efisien,” tambah Irawan.

Bagi Ramli, bekerja di PT Vale adalah berkah. Dia mendapat pekerjaan yang dia sukai dengan kesejahteraan yang baik. “Semoga bisnis PT Vale bisa lebih maju dan memberikan lapangan pekerjaan bagi banyak orang,” harap Ramli me-nutup pertemuan.[]

Ramli M. Lisi

In Love with TrucksWith many years of experience under his belt, this man is entrusted to drive a special material hauler for PT Vale’s nickel processing needs.

It is 9.45 a.m., Gate 6, Plant Site Sorowako, last October, a Primemover Volvo type FH16 truck is ready to depart. Behind the wheels of this huge vehicle is Ramli Muham-mad Lisi, all geared up to start work. He is one of PT Vale’s more experienced material transport operator. Today he is assigned to transport 12 sacks of nickel to Balantang Har-bour, Malili, for shipment to Japan. Total material tonnage being hauled reached 36 tons.

Maneuvering a transporter carrying dozens of tons of material is no easy task. Even though the 16,000 cc truck manufactured in 2013 can be pushed to 550 horsepower, for safety sake the truck should move at a certain speed limit. Ramli must keep to 20-50 km/hour in compliance with the company’s safety rules.

When Halo Vale accompanied Ramli on one of his runs, it needed 1.5 hours to reach Balantang Har-

bour situated 60 km away from So-

rowako. “This is how it should be driven. It needs extra caution and patience,” he said.

In a day, every operator is assigned to deliver material from and to Balantang Harbour-Sorowako for two trips in one shift. The transported materials such as coal, silica and sulphur, are needed for the processing plant. These opera-tors however at times are expected to transport contain-ers carrying pipes, cables, fire-resistant stones or project equipment and other office supplies.

An average of 45-48 tons of coal, silica and sulphur are being transported in a single trip, while the containers can weigh 10-30 tons. “The weight however can be heavier depending on the plant’s needs,” Ramli added.

Throughout the journey to Balantang Harbour, Ramli and other material truck drivers must have their vehicles exam-ined at two checkpoints: Puncak Wasuponda and Puncak Balambano. Truck components that need to be inspected

are the wheels, brakes and steer gauge temperature. Ramli with his operational logistic truck.

“These parts cannot overheat otherwise the brakes won’t work,” explained Ramli while pointing to the disc brakes inside the front tire rim.

The Volvo FH16 that Ramli is used to driving is equipped with reliable safety features. Its engine braking mechanism is exceptional, supported by 22 wheels and varying speed settings to enable drivers to easily navigate up and down steep slopes, such as the logistics route from Sorowako to Balantang.

Nevertheless, driving safely is not simply about truck technology. “This truck is super comfortable, but it must not make us any less careless,” said the man who was born in Lampia, East Luwu, 40 years ago.

Ramli mentioned how driving a material truck requires a good feel for estimating the vehicle’s speed. Otherwise, the truck may overturn. “Being extra careful is necessary along straight roads. Never speed because you may come across a bend and the truck can topple over,” he said.

It is almost 12 noon. We finally arrived at Balantang Har-bour. The truck approached the nickel sack loading bay. Ramli climbed out the cabin and jumped over the back of the truck. A material truck driver must also assist the fork-lift operator to lift the nickel sacks out of the truck. Within 15 minutes the work was done. Without further ado, Ramli immediately drove his truck towards the coal storage place. The truck was then filled with coal to be transported to Sorowako. This proves Ramli’s ability to work effectively and efficiently.

Inside the truck’s cabin was a packet of cakes made by his wife in case he gets hungry. “Coal, that is my last trip for today. I have to finish this work first. Lunch can wait until I arrive at Sorowako,” said Ramli.

Well-experiencedRamli has been working for PT Vale for 10 years. Since his recruitment by the company he was immediately entrust-ed to operate a material hauler. “Probably because of my 20 years of experience driving trucks,” he asserted.

Ramli previously worked as a truck driver for a bus com-pany in Blitar. He later drove trucks for several timber companies in Gorontalo, Ambon and even Papua. Asked on whether he was ever tired of being a truck driver, he replied, “I have fallen in love with trucks. They are like my second home.”

Material Handling Supervisor, Irawan Kasim, considers Ramli to be a compliant worker who follows procedures and safety measures. “He always remind his colleagues and share information on work safety through radio, safety talks and even at the office after he’s done driving for the day,” explained Irawan.

Ramli also has adequate technical knowledge of trucks and safe driving. “In 2012, he was shortlisted as one of the five best drivers in a competition for fuel-efficent driving,” added Irawan. For Ramli, working at PT Vale is a blessing. He has a job that he loves doing and pays well. “I hope that PT Vale continues to grow and create jobs for more people,” said Ramli, bringing the meeting to an end.[]

MESRA, Kompak Berkumpul tanpa SekatAnggota komunitas ini tergila-gila pada olahraga. Merek a juga rutin menggelar famil y ga thering .

Olahraga adalah ajang utama karyawan dan kontraktor PT Vale untuk membentuk komunitas. Tak heran bila setiap departemen PT Vale memiliki komunitas olahraga. Terma-suk Departemen Mobile Equipment & Maintenance (MEM). Departemen ini punya MESRA alias Mobile Equipment Sport & Recreation Assosiation. Anggotanya mencapai 188 orang, terdiri atas 140 orang karyawan PT Vale dan 48 orang kontraktor di MEM.

Saking banyaknya anggota MESRA, aktivitas olahraganya juga bervariasi. Mulai dari sepakbola, bulu tangkis, voli, futsal, basket, golf, dan tenis. “Ada juga yang aktif menye-lam, bersepeda gunung, body fitness, sampai motor cross,” ungkap Richardo Rombelayuk, anggota MESRA yang juga Manager of Fix Plant.

Embel-embel “rekreasi” pada nama komunitas membuat anggota MESRA luwes memvariasikan kegiatannya. Untuk mewujudkan aspek rekreasi ini, anggota MESRA suka ple-siran ke laut untuk memancing atau menembak ikan, atau sekadar kumpul-kumpul.

Tim MESRA berfoto bersama saat mengikuti kompetisi Bulutangkis Vale Cup di Gedung F Gym, Pontada.


KOMUNITAS

Ada juga yang hobi berpetualang, jalan-jalan, atau menggelar arisan bulanan. “Rekreasi tiap tiga bulan sekali kami lakukan. Biasanya kami kemas menjadi family gathering MESRA,” ungkap anggota MESRA, Asgar R, MEM Scheduler.

Lokasi rekreasi biasanya tidak terlalu jauh dengan Sorowa-ko. “Kadang ke Bulu Poloe untuk wisata laut atau naik raft di Danau Matano. Yang penting ngumpul, have fun, dan kemesraannya. Dari namanya saja, MESRA. Di dalamya ada kemesraan atau tepatnya kebersamaan, saling menghargai walau dari beragam latar belakang. Semua sama, bahkan antara bawahan dan atasan,” tambah Asgar.

“Dengan menjaga kebugaran, ide-ide positif dan produk-tivitas kerja dapat terjaga. Seperti ungkapan mens sana in corpore sano, di dalam tubuh yang sehat terdapat jiwa yang sehat. Harapan komunitas ini adalah rekan kerja bisa menjadi soulmate dan akrab baik dalam kerja maupun di luar tempat kerja,” timpal Ricardo.

Kegiatan SosialAwalnya, ketika Tim MEM mengikuti Maintenance CUP I pertengahan 2008, komunitas ini bernama MEM Sport TM.

Nama itu, kata Dahlan Landao, MEM Field Inspector, kemu-dian berubah menjadi MESRA setelah teman-teman yang bergabung memiliki hobi rekreasi seperti memancing dan sebagainya.

Muhamad Gazali, Manager Dozer/Haulmaster & Com-ponent Rebuild Shop, kini dipercaya sebagai ketuanya. Beberapa prestasi MESRA, antara lain, juara III MEM Mainte-nance 2007 dan juara I Mining Cup 2010.

MESRA punya sejumlah agenda yang hendak direalisa-sikan. Misalnya menggelar turnamen olahraga internal perusahaan. “Rencananya akan kami realisasikan tahun depan. Semoga mendapat dukungan manajemen,” tambah Ricardo.

Ada pula rencana menggelar kegiatan Mancing Mania di Teluk Morowali. Untuk kegiatan ini, MESRA menunggu waktu yang tepat untuk merealisasikannya. Harapannya, MESRA tidak hanya fokus pada kegiatan olahraga dan rekreasi, melainkan juga kegiatan sosial. Mereka berharap kemesraan anggota komunitas tetap awet meski nanti ada anggota yang pensiun.[]

KOMUNITAS

MESRA, Camaraderie without BarriersMembers of this community is passionate about spor ts. They also regularly organize family gatherings.

Sports are an important medium for PT Vale employees and contractors to form communities. Not surprisingly, every PT Vale department has its own sports community. This includes the Department of Mobile Equipment & Maintenance (MEM) with its community known as MESRA (Mobile Equipment Sport & Recreation Association). It has a membership of 188 people consisting of 140 PT Vale employees and 48 MEM contractors.

MESRA’s large membership has led to an array of sports activities, from football, badminton, volleyball, futsal, basketball, golf and tennis. “Some are even active divers, mountain bikers, while others are into body fitness and motor crossing,” explained Richardo Rombelayuk, a MESRA member and Manager of Fix Plant.

The inclusion of the word “recreation” in the community’s name was intentionally meant to allow MESRA more flex-ibility in organizing its activities. To add recreation and fun to its sports events, MESRA members enjoy going to sea fishing trips or simply organize get-togethers.

Some members are keen adventurers and travelers, and others hold monthly gatherings among rotating savings group members. “We organize a recreational event every three months. We normally arrange it as also a form of MESRA family gathering,” said MESRA member, Asgar R., MEM Scheduler.

MESRA members are enjoying their leisure times at Bulu Poloe.


CO M M U N I T I E S

“We organize a recreational event every three months. We normally arrange it as

also a form of MESRA family gathering,”

The location for such events is usually not too far from So-rowako. “Sometimes it can be in Bulu Poloe for a sea trip or rafting at Matano Lake. Of most importance is being able to get together, have fun and foster closeness. Just like its name MESRA (closeness). Our activities are about close-ness, or more precisely togetherness, mutual apprecia-tion despite our diverse backgrounds. All are equal, even between subordinates and superiors,” added Asgar.

“By maintaining our physical fitness and form, positive ideas and work productivity will also be sustained. Like the saying goes mens sana in corpore sano, a sound mind in a healthy body. Our wish is that colleagues can become soulmates and build a good rapport inside and outside of the workplace,” emphasized Richardo.

Social ActivitiesWhen the MEM Team participated in Maintenance CUP I in mid-2008, this community was initially known as MEM Sport TM. According to Dahlan Landao, MEM Field Inspec-tor, the name later changed to MESRA after colleagues who have joined the community are into various recrea-tional hobbies such as fishing.

Muhamad Ghazali, Manager of Dozer/Haulmaster & Com-ponent Rebuild Shop, has now been appointed to lead the community. MESRA has earned various accomplishments such as winning third place for MEM Maintenance 2007 and first place for Mining Cup 2010.

MESRA has a number of key agendas that it wishes to make real, such as organizing the company’s internal sports tournament. “It is planned for next year. Hopefully we have management support,” Richardo added. They hope that the closeness among members can continue to be nurtured even when they retire.[]

Sayang Tubuh? Makan Superfood!Istilah super food memang masih menjadi perdebatan. Namun beberapa jenis mak anan boleh disebut sebagai mak anan super.

Ubi Jalar Ungu


SEHAT SEL AMAT

Ubi jalar kerap disebut makanan “kelas kampung”. Padahal ubi manis ini mengandung nutrisi penting yang cocok bagi

penderita diabetes

Superfood, bahan makanan yang mengandung seluruh nutrien yang diperlukan tubuh, mungkin hanya angan-angan manusia. Namun ada bahan pangan yang memang sarat nutrisi penting.

Telur, misalnya, mengandung 12 jenis vitamin dan mineral, ter-masuk kolin yang baik untuk perkembangan otak dan mengasah memori. Ada pula brokoli, buah kiwi, kacang polong, dan ikan salmon yang mendekati kriteria superfood.

Satu lagi superfood yang tidak asing di meja makan. Ketika Anda membuat kolak untuk berbuka puasa, memasak bubur Manado untuk momen spesial, atau membuat kue di akhir pekan, ubi jalar menjadi salah satu bahan utama. Secara pamor, ubi jalar kalah dibandingkan kentang yang identik dengan makanan moderen.

Ubi jalar kerap disebut makanan “kelas kampung”. Padahal ubi manis ini mengandung nutrisi penting yang cocok bagi penderita diabetes, mereka yang ingin menjaga berat badan, wanita yang mendambakan kulit cantik, atau Anda yang ingin menjalani hidup sehat.

Kenyang Lebih LamaUbi jalar mengandung vitamin A, B, C, mangan, serat, kalium, bahkan zat besi. Sepotong ubi jalar ukuran sedang mencukupi

kebutuhan harian vitamin A, sepertiga kebutuhan vitamin C, hampir 15% serat, dan 10% kalium.

Umbi-umbian dikenal sebagai sumber karbohidrat. Berdasar-kan penelitian American Institute for Cancer Research, dalam berat yang sama, kentang memiliki 51 gram karbohidrat sederhana, sementara ubi jalar mengandung 35 gram kar-bohidrat kompleks yang lebih sehat.

Karbohidrat kompleks memerlukan waktu lebih lama untuk dipecah oleh tubuh menjadi energi. Dengan kata lain, pa-sokan gula darah tidak akan meningkat pesat sehingga ubi jalar sempurna sebagai menu makan penyandang diabetes.

Dengan mengonsumsi ubi jalar, Anda akan merasa kenyang lebih lama. Karena keunggulan ini, para pakar diet menem-

patkan ubi jalar dalam daftar sumber karbohidrat, selain


SEHAT SEL AMAT

karena kalorinya yang rendah. Diet South Beach yang terkenal di Amerika Serikat, misalnya, memasukkan ubi jalar dalam daftar bahan pangan layak konsumsi. Begitu pula diet Atkins, yang merekomendasikan ubi jalar kukus sebagai pengganti nasi, kentang, ataupun jagung rebus.

Bagi Anda yang punya gangguan tekanan darah, coba-lah lebih sering mengonsumsi umbi oranye ini. Menurut American Heart Association, ubi jalar adalah salah satu makanan kaya kalium. Kalium berperan sangat penting da-lam menjaga tekanan darah. Kalium juga berperan dalam pengendalian otot dan fungsi saraf.

Cegah KankerUbi jalar kaya betakaroten yang merupakan antioksidan, zat yang mampu melawan kanker. Banyak penelitian membuktikan, tingginya kandungan betakaroten dalam

darah terkait dengan menurunnya risiko kanker payudara. Selain mencegah kanker, betakaroten membantu vitamin A dalam regenerasi sel kulit. Maka boleh dikatakan me-ngonsumsi ubi jalar akan membuat kulit lebih halus dan mencegahnya dari kerusakan.

Hebatnya lagi, prebiotik, istilah yang tenar dalam produk-produk susu, dapat dijumpai pada ubi jalar. Prebiotik ber-guna untuk mencegah diare dan mengatur keseimbangan kadar mineral di dalam tubuh sehingga tulang terhindar dari osteoporosis. Untuk mendapatkan manfaat maksimal, ubi jalar perlu diolah dengan benar. Cara paling sehat menikmati ubi jalar yang manis adalah dengan mengukus atau memanggangnya dalam oven.[]

Macam-macam "Superfood"

KelapaKelapa mengandung seluruh nutrien makro: karbohidrat, lemak alami, dan protein. Kelapa juga kaya mineral, seperti zat besi, magnesium, fosfor, kalium, dan selenium. Air kelapa muda yang sarat elektrolit dan vitamin C populer sebagai minuman pence-gah dehidrasi setelah beraktivitias. Daging buah kelapa punya rasio seimbang antara lemak dan protein sehingga cocok sebagai kudapan bagi Anda yang menjaga berat badan sehat.

LabuWarna oranye gelap pada labu mengindikasikan kandungan be-takaroten tinggi yang berguna sebagai sumber vitamin A, men-jaga kekebalan tubuh, dan mencegah penyakit jantung koroner. Namun “harta karun” sesungguhnya berada pada biji labu. Studi menyebutkan, biji labu efektif menghambat pembengkakan kelenjar prostat, menurunkan risiko batu kandung kemih, hingga mencegah depresi serta beberapa jenis kanker.

Kembang kolKaya vitamin B, C, kalium, dan fosfor yang menjaga sistem saraf, kekebalan tubuh, serta otot dan tulang. Kembang kol juga kaya antioksidan yang mencegah kerusakan sel, menurunkan risiko kanker dan penyakit kronik lain. Kembang kol yang rendah sodium cocok bagi penderita penyakit jantung maupun tekanan darah tinggi.

Love Your Body? Eat Superfood!The term of super food remains a source of debate. But several kinds of food c an be c alled super food.

Superfood, food ingredients that contain all nourished elements our body badly needs are perhaps human im-agination. But there are food substances which are really full of important nutrients. Egg, for example, contains 12 vitamins and minerals, such as choline which is good for brain development and memory sharpening. Other exam-ples of food that closely meet the criteria of superfood are broccoli, kiwi fruit, green bean and salmon fish.

There is another superfood which is not rarely served on the table. When you make compote for breaking of the fast, cook Manado porridge for a special moment or bake a cake on the weekend, sweet potato is one of the main ingredients. Popularity speaking, sweet potato is not so well known as potato which is identical to modern food.

Sweet potato is commonly dubbed “lower class”, al-though it contains vital nutrition that suits people with diabetes, those who wish to keep their weight stable, women who dream of beautiful skin or you who aim to live a healthy life.

Feeling Full LongerSweet potato contains vitamins A, B, C, manganese, fiber, potassium and zinc. A moderate slice of sweet potato will suffice our need of vitamin A, one third of vitamin C, almost 15 percent of fiber

and 10 percet of potassium.

Tubers are known as sources of carbohydrate. A study by the Ameri-can Institute for Cancer Research,

in the same scale potato contains 51 grams of simple carbohy-

drate, while sweet potato has 35 grams of complex and healthier carbohydrate. It will take our body longer time to convert complex carbohy-drate into energy. In other words, supply of sugar blood will not increase drastically so that sweet potato is a perfect nutrition for people with diabetes.

Consuming sweet potato will make you feel full for a longer time. Due to this advantage, dietary experts classify sweet potato as source of carbohydrate also because of its low calorie grade. Diet South Beach which is prominent in the US, for example, places sweet potato in the list of consumption worthy foods. So does Diet Atkins, which recommends steamed sweet potato as a replacement of rice, potato or boiled corn.

For you who have hypertension, try to consume orange sweet potato as many times as possible.

Potassium plays a crucial role in keeping blood pressure normal and control-ling the functions of tendon and nerve.

Many studies have found the high level of beta-carotene within blood decreases the risks of breast cancer. Apart from preventing cancer, beta-carotene supports vitamin A in the skin regeneration process. It can be said that consuming sweet potato will smoothen our skin and prevent it from impairment.

More superbly, prebiotic, which is famous in milk products, can be found in sweet potato. Prebiotic is needed to pre-vent diarrhea and keep mineral level within our body bal-ance so that our bones can evade osteoporosis. To get the maximum benefits of sweet potato, it needs to be cooked properly. The healthiest way to consume sweet potato is to steam or bake it in the oven.[]
