After more than a year, Indonesia can finally start to bounce back from the Covid-19 pandemic. The Indonesian government has slowly begun to ease some of the rules related to lockdown. In line with this,

RDI has started its field activity and community engagement. One of them was done in Garut District with the internally displaced people for the “Making Displacement Safer” project, funded by the Global Network of Civil Society Organisations for Disaster Reduction (GNDR) and USAID. The other community engagement was for the Social Innovation Platform project funded by UNDP in Sukabumi. Currently thriving with 30 plus staff, RDI is pushing its research projects and community engagement in the new normal with absolute adherence to health protocol.

The CSWH Cluster team also conducted field research on the community. RDI CSWH Team collaboratively held an FGD with the Department of Community and Village Empowerment (DPMD) West Java province or TP2U DPMD Jabar and Village Patriot (Patriot Desa) in Citamansakti rural area. The FGD was done through a formal session, followed by informal discussion.

The conducted FGD was done with the FGD Co-Creation method, a form of group discussion which is based on the assumption of an equal partnership between user and company. This FGD was held to create and innovate a portfolio of solutions in five levels as a programmatic key interventions aiming to formulate initiative and ideas from various parties based on issues, potentials and problems in the Citamansakti National Priorities of Rural Areas (KPPN). In this project, the field work was a pre-intervention phase of a Green Economy (Ekonomi Hijau) development solution in a rural area in West Java Province.

On the 17th-20th of September 2021, the Disaster and Climate Resilience team held a kick-off meeting for Urban Living Labs (ULL) project, namely “Making Displacement Safer: Building Resilience of Urban Displaced). This project is funded by the Global Network of Civil Society Organisations for Disaster Reduction (GNDR) and USAID as well. The meeting was held to establish relationships and trust between potential stakeholders and gather preliminary knowledge from different perspectives. The meeting ran smoothly and featured representatives from all stakeholders. Furthermore, the RDI team also disseminated the progress of the project and invited the stakeholders to be involved in the implementation of the ULL project. For the next step, the DCR Cluster Team will proceed to the next activities for the ULL project in Garut, such as ULL-Co-creation, Exploration Activity (late October), and Implementation Activity (December) that will focus on the implementation of sustainable solutions in each community.

On 18th August 2021, in collaboration with UNDP

Indonesia, RDI conducted a series of FGD and workshops in Sukabumi to communicate this project and receive feedback from the community. The Covid-19 pandemic has hit the economic sector of the community, especially for people in rural areas. It also has slowed the achievement of the SDGs of 2030, including in Indonesia. To ease the impact of the pandemic, UNDP Indonesia in collaboration with the Ministry of Villages, Development of

Disadvantaged Regions and Transmigration (Kemendesa PDTT) supported by UNDP in Asia and The Pacific and a center of social science studies from Spain, Agirre Lehendakaria Center (ALC), established the Social Innovation Platform (SIP) project.

SIP is a social innovation approach that is holistic,inclusive, and pays attention to the process of systemic transformation and social dynamics of the society in a particular area. This approach is platform based, which enables mediation of multiple stakeholders

and various initiatives to be linked to each other in order to formulate a more realistic and effective impact defined in the five (5) solution portfolios. The SIP processes include Systems Mapping, Deep Listening, Sensemaking, Co-creation, and Prototyping.

The kick off meeting of this project has been held virtually by RDI on August 16, 2021. Following the meeting, RDI held an on-site Co-Creation FGD with the community on August 28-29, 2021 in Sukabumi, and virtually the next

In late of July 29 2021, RDI conducted a capacity

building on“Understanding Climate Change, Roles, and Adaptive Capacity of Non-Normative Gender and Sexuality Communities”. The capacity building was moderated by Danang Azhari from RDI and facilitated by Dr. Elizabeth A.S Dewi (Parahyangan Catholic University), Doni Marmer, M.Env. (The University of Melbourne), and Anggun Pradesha (Inklusi Transperempuan (INTAN)). The capacity building also featured a discussion session where the participants were divided into two groups, and each group was discussing various topic-related questions.

On the question regarding the risks associated with disasters, Ririn answered how from an economic perspective, the income of community members is affected. Furthermore, from a social point of view, disasters are often considered as caused by the existence of the NNGS

group. They are scapegoated and stigmatized as the cause of the change in weather.

The next question was regarding what role could the colleagues play in reducing climate change risks. A representative from Mikha Kebaya Foundation answered how some of them participated in reforestation of Andong Mountain in Magelang and helped their friends who had lost their livelihoods because of the damages caused by the andesite mine.

The last question was regarding the obstacles and barriers faced

so far on their participation in climate change adaptation efforts. One of the members of the NNGS community answered that In Aceh, capacity building regarding climate change adaptation efforts has never existed, even though the impacts of climate change are widely suffered. Furthermore, the NNGS community members in Aceh have never received training related to the issue as they are often blamed for this phenomenon. The members of the NNGS community came to the conclusion that what is important is how to protect themselves from the impact of disasters and

discrimination from the social stigma.

To sum up, some or many of the NNGS community members are considered as scapegoats because many think they are the cause of environmental problems. Even so, they NNGS community are highly supportive towards each other to be able to adapt to climate change while protecting the environment and support fellow NNGS community members who live in various areas with different environmental conditions.

day. They were followed with an evaluation of the Co-Creation activities.

The project will continue with the Co-Design process that will be carried out in September. The Co-Design will be carried out to create a Business Model for each initiative that has been generated from the Co-Creation activities. It is estimated that the Co-Design will be carried out in the second week of October, and there will be a Business Model prototyping resulting from the Co-Design.

On 24th August 2021. RDI held a webinar titled “Transboundary Haze Pollution

in Southeast Asia: Effect and Forest Fire Management in Indonesia” with Lancaster University with support from University of Malaya, Institut Pertanian Bogor and World Resource Institute. The agenda of this webinar was to provide a forum for discussion that gears around policy, implementation, best practices and experiences related to fires disaster risk management and community-led efforts. This webinar also aimed to proliferate the information surrounding the key challenges for forest fires preparedness, mitigation, and response in Indonesia and other countries.

The speaker was Dr. Emmanuel Tsekleves from Lancaster University, with the presentation titled “Addressing Transboundary Haze Pollution in South East Asia via Community Engagement in Indonesia”. He concluded that there are numerous essential elements in the forest fire management, which are understanding the intersectional key drivers of the conflict; community engagement to build public awareness, resilience, and preparedness of forest management; and, the need of new method that prioritizes pre-emptive measure through co-design and community engagement rather than the post-action response.

The next presentation was by Prof. Dr. Ir. Bambang Hero Saharjo M. Agr - Bogor

On 14th-15th of July 2021, RDI conducted an online capacity building on “Sustainable

Biogas Project Financing and Bankability ” under the DiBiCoo Project. The impressive lineup of speakers were from Indonesian Fiscal Policy Agency (BKF), GGGI, TLFF, LPPI, PT. SMI and IRID. In this second series of DiBiCoo Capacity Building, RDI aimed to educate people about various financing schemes by the public and private sectors and its influencing factors in biogas project financing.

This capacity building aimed to deepen the knowledge and improve the skills of all local stakeholders in the biogas industry on the basics of biogas project planning, risk identification and mitigation, biogas technology and utilization, business models, and sources of financing for biogas projects. Each day of the event included two training sessions along with a sharing session, and lectures from keynote speakers. Instruments and financing schemes

by the public and private sectors as well as the factors that influence the financing of biogas projects are the main topics in this second series of capacity building.

The speakers for July 14th 2021 were Agunan Samosir from the Collateral Fiscal Policy Agency of the Ministry of Finance, discussing the “Renewable Energy (Biogas) Project Financing Policy”, Satria Wira Tenaya of GGGI Indonesia, discussing “Estimated Financing and Supply Security”, and Elis Mudjiwati from the Indonesian Banking Development Institute discussing “Risk Management in Biogas Project Financing”. There was also a sharing session with the topic of “Sharing session: Implementation of Biogas Project Financing by Private Financing Institutions” by Pradana Murti from PT Sarana Multi Infrastruktur.

The speakers for July 15th 2021 were Bangkit Oetomo from TLFF Indonesia, with the topic of “Getting to Know The Blended Finance Scheme for Biogas Project” Moekti H Soejachmoen & Paul Butarbuta from the Indonesia Research Institute for Decarbonization (IRID) who discussed about “Funding for Carbon Biogas Activities”, and finally, Istiana Maftuchah from the Financial Services Authority, who discussed about “Sustainable Financing for Renewable Energy Projects”.

Despite the limitations precipitated by the Covid - 19 pandemic, DiBiCoo activities in 2021 could still be accomplished. Although the event was conducted virtually, these events still strongly represent DiBiCoo’s strive to scale up the biogas market in Indonesia.

Agricultural University, titled “Peat Fires versus Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emission Reduction” discussing how peat fires pose enormous negative impact, , difficult to fight, produce huge amounts of GHG emission, and disrupt the ecological environment. Multi level collaboration with all stakeholders and clear target is one way to reduce the GHG emission induced by peat fires and GHG calculation should not be heavily relied on the IPCC emission factors as most of the datas are overestimated. It is best to conduct the GHG calculation based on the on field scientific data.

The third speaker was from Dr. Helena binti Muhammad Varkkey from Universiti Malaya, with the presentation titled “Haze in Southern South East Asia: Regional effects, cooperation, and engagement”. This session discussed how the impacts of transboundary haze pollution are not limited only to the environment, but also affects the socio-economic and political context in the regions.here are numerous initiatives taken to solve the issue, for instance the ASEAN transboundary pollution act in 2003 that addresses the haze issue.

There was also a more in depth discussion and Q & A session by Dr. Arief Wijaya and Dr. Ir. Lailan Safina, M.Sc. It was mentioned that peat management and haze transboundary pollution are tightly related. Finally, it was agreed that sustainable management on peat and land, multi stakeholder and multi sector collaboration, community engagement, enhanced focus on the technological aspects of monitoring, and prioritization of socio-economic (agricultural) aspects in delivering new solutions should be taken into account in the effort of forest fire management.

in Indonesia ‘’. The catalogue aims to increase the awareness and understanding of various feasible technology options to help reduce the climate change and environmental impacts of POME, and establish synergy between technology seekers, technology providers, and related stakeholders in promoting green technology adoption in the palm oil industry.

The participants of this event include palm oil mills, technology providers, government, financial institutions, associations, and organizations related to sustainability and renewable energy in palm oil industries, as well as business and professionals in climate and clean energy.

The event featured the Director of Processing and Marketing of Plantation Products, Ministry of Agriculture, the Roundtable on

Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO), the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI), Indonesian Biogas Association (ABgI), Resilience Development Initiative (RDI), Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), Pusat Penelitian Kelapa Sawit (PPKS) / Indonesian Oil Palm Research Institute (IOPRI), and the Mill representative

responsibilities of existing refugee management stakeholders within a specific time frame. The participants played different roles in each individual, such as being village heads, NGOs, refugee representatives, educational institutions, lecturers, Regents, National and Political Unitary Body, and local communities.

It was shown that through the process of group discussion, debate, and reflection in this innovative workshop, participants may develop innovative thinking and apply it to the issue, for example in how to create a level playing field in the refugee management system.

“I’ve known RDI since I started as a campaign advisor for a cultural centre in Bandung in 2015. The innovative interdisciplinary work, coupled with the intersectionality approach the organisation possesses, is very inspiring for me to engage with and later inspired me to pursue a career in disaster risk reduction and community-based resilience development in Bali. Since then, I have found my passion for developing and preserving knowledge about climate change adaptation and resilience based on indigenous and traditional approaches.

After graduating from the Master of Environment program under Climate Change Adaptation at The University of Melbourne (supported by the Australia Awards Scholarship), I witnessed the importance of just and accessible research and knowledge for everyone. Therefore, I believe that RDI is a pioneer as a knowledge hub.

I feel hopeful that my involvement as a newly appointed research fellow will help me thrive in knowledge management, production, and brokering, especially in conserving indigenous and traditional knowledge concerning climate change adaptation and resilience development. This opportunity is very thrilling for me to engage with the best thinkers, learners, and knowledge producers, collaborate with top-notch organisations and partners, and above all, work with the SEAs community to be resilient together.

“I was fortunate to get a chance to explore a niche research on urban mobility in Indonesia throughout my study at the United Nations Institute for Advanced Study on Sustainability (UNU-IAS). I learned that the country lacks priorities in reducing greenhouse gas, especially to pursue net-zero emissions while its cities are urbanizing rapidly. So, I am highly convinced that RDI should gear up to get involved in that issue, considering that some developed countries and emerging economies already showed their commitment to minimize the increase of global temperature by the mid of this century.

RDI has had many potentials to lead such initiatives from the side of non-governmental actors since it has been involved in several projects related to sustainable energy for the past few years. I argue that the urgency of this problem will “force” stakeholders at different levels to participate in the pursuit before the end of this decade. I am also writing this message to express my sincere gratitude to the Japan Foundation for UNU and the donors for making the scholarship possible for me to earn the doctoral degree. None of this three-year achievement would have been possible without your generosity. Thank you so much for your continued support and for believing me in the first place.

“

“Having a career in the academic world has always been my dream, especially in the water-related field. I noticed how RDI became one of the vocal institutions about the issue, for example, in the Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) subject. Thankfully, I had the chance to be the Research Officer for the Waste and Water Management (WWM) Cluster.

I received countless experiences and knowledge. I was involved in the ASCEND Development Toolbox for WASH in Disaster. I felt challenged rather than pressured--thanks to amazing colleagues, a proper work environment, and sufficient tools available as my supporting systems. RDI also gives the “learning atmosphere”. I am always motivated to understand and learn more, and that learning itself will be a lifetime journey. With Fara and Dhifa, we develop the WWM Roadmap for the next four years. It feels comforting to have a workplace that opens to new ideas, accommodates our curiosity and interests, keeps us on the right track in the most professional way possible. With the credibility that RDI has, it is such a pleasure to engage with fellow research worldwide, especially in ASEAN.

Starting from October 2021, I will be taking my Master Degree in IHE Delft, Netherlands, for a Water Science and Engineering course with LPDP scholarship for 1,5 years. It may be the end of my Research Officer career in RDI, but I know for sure that the connection will be timeless. I hope in the future, during or after taking a Master Degree, my experience will open many possibilities and opportunities, especially in water management-related research. Because as RDI has taught me, that contribution can be made anywhere, as long as we keep increasing our capacity.
