GEF SGP Indonesia has been implemented since 1992, supporting 502 projects with total disbursement of funds approaching 9 million US dollars. The aim of this program is to conserve biodiversity, reduce the impact of climate change, stop land degradation and reduce pollution of international waters.
The program has developed in line with the dynamics of community-based resource management and environmental protection efforts. Since the early stages of program implementation, GEF SGP Indonesia has placed a high priority on building direct partnerships with community-based organizations and their supporting non-governmental organizations. In the initial stages, grants were provided to various community and NGO projects. In recent years, the SGP Indonesia Country Program has also participated in a number of strategic pilot initiatives, providing opportunities for community groups to work together on regional and landscape initiatives.
The GEF SGP Indonesia program has reached Phase VI which is working in four work areas, namely Gorontalo, Wakatobi, Nusa Penida and Semau Island. This Phase VI program has been running since 2017 and will end at the end of 2020. During the four years that the program has been running there have been many interesting field practices, both in terms of achievements and as material for reflection and learning. Achievements are of course important to see the extent of the program's success (and failure) in meeting the objective indicators set at the beginning. Meanwhile, reflection and learning are necessary to reinterpret the work that has been done and become learning material for the community, assistants, policy makers, donor agencies and various other parties in making improvements and continuing the program in the future.
In the GEF-SGP Indonesia perspective, this reflection and learning process is part of the knowledge management cycle. This section has received serious attention from the GEF-SGP Indonesia National Secretariat for more than the last 10 years. Various outputs from the knowledge management of GEF SGP Indonesia Phase VI partners, one of which is 'Photostory'. There are more than 54 photostories that have been issued by partners consisting of a collection of partner activities in the link below.
