Project Description<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Seventh Operational Phase of the GEF SGP in Indonesia was implemented through Yayasan Bina Usaha Lingkungan (YBUL), under the NGO execution modality, which is to be undertaken in 2024. The project started on the 5th of July 2022 and is in its third year of implementation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The MTR process must follow the guidance outlined in the document Guidance For Conducting Midterm Reviews of UNDP-Supported, GEF-Financed Projects  (https:\/\/erc.undp.org\/pdf\/Guidance_Midterm%20Review%20_EN_2014.pdf<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To achieve impacts at scale and ensure the sustainability of results achieved, the program-level strategy of the Upgraded Country Programme (UCP) of the SGP is based on a landscape approach, following the UNDP approach of community-driven planning and management of socio-ecological production landscapes and seascapes. The four selected landscapes in the Wallacea biogeographical region in Indonesia (1) Sabu Raijua District, East Nusa Tenggara Province; 2) Nantu-Boliyohuto Wildlife Reserve buffer zone; Gorontalo Province; 3) Balantieng Watershed, South Sulawesi Province; and (4) Bodri Watershed, Central Java Province) cover expansive and complex geographies. Globally significant biodiversity in these landscapes faces a variety of threats influenced by a variety of drivers, e.g., infrastructure development and increased global demand for food and plantation commodities. These factors, many of which have been exacerbated by the impacts of climate change, have led to biodiversity loss, degradation of fragile ecosystems, and restricted opportunities for local communities to sustain nature-based livelihoods. Many of the local communities in the target landscapes also lack knowledge and access to clean energy solutions. The project strategy aims to generate multiple benefits for biodiversity, climate change, land degradation, and the well-being of local communities through participatory, integrated land and resource management approaches implemented across socio-ecological production landscapes.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 4-year project (expected operational closure July 5th, 2026) is implemented by UNDP and executed through Yayasan Bina Usaha Lingkungan (YBUL), under the NGO execution modality, under the existing mechanism of the GEF Small Grants Programme including the approval of each initiative by the National Steering Committee CDN, as well as the due monitoring which will be provided, under the leadership of the National Program Coordinator. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The MTR will assess progress towards the achievement of the project objectives and outcomes as specified in the Project Document and assess early signs of project success or failure to identify the necessary changes to be made to set the project on track to achieve its intended results. The MTR will also review the project\u2019s strategy and its risks to sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Specifically, the objectives of the MTR are to: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
