• Area : 1.9 million km2, more than 17.000 islands, • Total Popupation 210 millions, 60 % lives in Java Island.• 370 ethnics groups with 67 mother tongues.• Poverty condition decreased since economic crisis in 1997. Recently,

Table 1
• Food Insecurity due to 50 % loss of crop production
• Lack of drinking water• Generating unemployment especially to the
people who relay on agricultural business.• Power supply/Hydro-Power Plant disturbed
due to water quantity in the reservoir was very low
• Health problem in relating to drought condition. People suffered from diarrhea and skin diseases.
THREAT
• Short-term :• Food Aid Program• Water supply• Medicine and Health Services
• Mid-term :• Labor Intensive for irrigation, drainage and other
infrastructures maintenance and reconstruction. The main objective was to provide income for affected households.
• Application of Weather modification technology• Long-term
• Dam construction• National movement for environmental rehabilitation.
This Program was launched by President The Republic of Indonesia on January 2004. The priority gives to the most critical catchment areas.
CENTRAL GOV. INTERVENSION PROGRAM
• Food Aid Program• The primarily objective was for saving lives• municipalities with extensive totally dried up rice field
received food aid from central government. The rest of it were expected to be assisted by local government.
• The affected farmers received 90 kg of rice per family for 3 months
• Total distributed rice aid was 15.960 ton (Table 2). • Water supply
• The primarily objective was for saving lives• The aid program was provision of 256 water tank trucks
for supplying drinking water (Table 3).• Provision of Pumping Machine for irrigation uses.
• Medicine and Health Services• Provision of medicine and health services which are
implemented by center of community health service in the district level. The services were free of charge
Short term Program
Food Aid Program( 30 kg/Family/Month during Sept-Oct)

households in the incentive basis• Maintaining or rehabilitation of tertiary Irrigation
infrastructures, implemented by Depart. of Agriculture• Maintaining or rehabilitation of primary Irrigation,
drainage and other infrastructures, implemented by Depart. of Settlement and Regional Infrastructures
• Application of Weather modification Technology• The main objective was to induce rain fall on the
targeted area in order to recharge empty reservoir. The application of the technology implemented by The Agency for the Assessment and Application Technology in cooperation with Depart. Of Settlement and Regional Infrastructures.
Mid term Program
• Dam construction• Re-planning potential dam
• National movement for environmental rehabilitation. • Starting for breeding in 2003• Officially start planting by President The Republic of
Indonesia on January 2004. • The priority is given to the most critical catchments
areas. • Target area to be rehabilitated 3 million hectares for
5 years• Implemented by Community Participations basis.• Encourage law enforcement for reducing
