Our workplan seeks to achieve results-oriented activities, addressing environmental and sustainable development issues, in partnership with new and current partners, including an increasing number of NGOs. Our activities focus on several key areas including improved water delivery service, cleaner air, improved energy efficiency, increasing business opportunities and productivity for Small Medium Enterprise's (SME's) and contributions toward better managed solid waste.

US-AEP Indonesia�s FY2001 strategy is 1) to strengthen institutions for environmental protection for a better quality of life for Indonesia�s citizens by completing programs, in cooperation with like-minded partners, focused on providing clean water and cleaner air; and 2) to provide programs to help alleviate the strain of Indonesia�s economic crisis by improving industrial efficiency, corporate governance and service delivery within cities. We will continue to work in close coordination with the USAID Mission.

Our workplan is organized in four program activity areas called (PAGs): 1. Improved Public Policy and Environmental Regulation, 2. Improved Urban Infrastructure, 3. Improved Corporate and Environmental Management and 4. Increased Trade and Investment. The key activities are captured below.

Our FY2000 program has included at least five NGO partners and has benefited at least 70 NGO�s. The benefits of our program started one and two years ago and have recently become measurable.

In the program area of Improved Public Policy and Environmental Regulation, last year�s partnership building with over ten partners and over increasing numbers of NGOs, and co-chairing of the International Sustainable Transport & Clean Air Conference resulted in heightened awareness by Indonesian decision-makers of the need to take concrete action to clean up the air, by first removing lead from gasoline. We will build on this awareness by assisting in FY2001 with the coordination of a baseline activity to measure lead levels in urban Indonesian children�s blood, followed by an air quality improvement public information campaign, participation by our Indonesian colleagues in a comprehensive ambient air quality workshop, and a regional action plan to control vehicle emissions, and providing a vehicle for Indonesians to provide input to ASEAN discussions on air quality and vehicle emissions. We continue to build trusted relationships with local, provincial, and ministerial Indonesian government officials, private-sector and civil society individuals and organizations.

Building on previous decentralization support initiatives, US-AEP will coordinate activities for the State Legislative Leaders Foundation, (SLLF). SLLF will work in cooperation with existing partners to provide Indonesian provincial parliamentarians with best practices in both the US and Europe, as well as providing customized information, training and exchange mentoring programs and study tours. US-AEP will serve to coordinate phase one and phase two activities, providing critical networking opportunities for democracy activity development, fundraising within the private-sector and assistance with final selection of an Indonesian national program director.

In the area of Improved Urban Environmental Management, the Water Efficiency Team (WET) project, started by US-AEP in FY1999 to help fragile municipal water enterprises achieve financial recovery, attracted USAID Mission follow-on funding in FY1999 and FY2000, amounting to ten times US-AEP�s investment. Subsequent increases in tariff income and Government of Indonesia funding for recommended improvements have added an additional nine times US-AEP�s FY2000 investment. We expect to realize additional benefits in FY2001. US-AEP�s Water Indicators for Satisfaction Survey Evaluation (WISE) project established the methodology for a customer satisfaction survey that has attracted follow-on mission funding of about one third of US-AEP�s investment to date. US-AEP�s FY2000 WET Technology for Establishment of Re-rating (WETTER) project has disseminated re-rating technology whereby water enterprises can increase the capacity of water production plants. Only one such re-rating exercise in FY 2000 yielded savings amounting to three times the FY2000 US-AEP investment. The Women�s Institution for Local Development (WILD) project is mobilizing women�s groups to support and provide feedback to water enterprises. The WET, WETTER, WILD, and WISE projects have contributed to the Mission�s strategy to help local government provide expanded affordable water services, especially to the poor. In FY 2001 these projects will be expanded through an extension to the WILD project, assistance for water enterprise functional training (WEFT) for senior managers and for activities encouraging financial self�sufficiency of water enterprises. Additionally, our partner Water Environment Federation (WEF) will provide assistance to the Indonesian Association of Sanitary Engineers (IATPI) for a wastewater treatment operator training and certification activity.

The Improved Corporate Environmental Management program continued to support self-help projects of environmental management including clean technology and cleaner production initiatives aimed at saving jobs. The FY 2000 Corporate program worked closely with partner Friends of the Environment Fund (DML)/ Indonesian Pollution Prevention Roundtable (KMB) to complete a number of exciting and worthwhile activities begun in part in FY1998 and FY 1999.

Two grants were successfully completed: the Eco-Productivity/Waste-to-Product grant, and assistance for the Indonesian Pollution Prevention Roundtable (KMB). Under these grants, 114 small- and medium-size companies across Java are aware of and starting to experience the benefits of cleaner production (CP). At the end of the project, 24 companies had begun to implement the recommendations. Cumulatively, the projected annual savings come up to nearly $1,000,000 from a total investment of about $200,000. In addition, a Waste Exchange has been established at DML, featuring a database linked to the KMB website. Almost 160 wastes have been entered. A KMB Information Center now consists of a library of CP publications, reports, and the Waste Exchange database. The Information Center also manages a website which is continually being updated and improved.

The Increased Trade and Investment program leveraged a foundation of key industry contacts, synergistic projects being supported and funded by the Mission, and Foreign Commercial Service�s (FSC) Outreach & Free Market Evaluation Programs to create the interest in buying U.S. environmental technologies throughout Indonesia. T&I focused resources on key export-oriented or agricultural sectors. From these targeted sectors, eleven Indonesians participated in regional or U.S. workshops, conferences, and studies tours. Currently, US experts are in transit to Indonesia to explore options to address oil-sludge residue in tanks at the state-owned Oil Company, Pertamina.

T&I worked with the USAID Mission and DoE on a PLN project, sending two key Indonesians from the state-owned Electricity Company (acronym PLN) on site visits in the U.S. It is likely that a large number of Indonesia power plants will need to be retrofitted to increase their energy efficiency �this presents future tech transfer opportunities for US-AEP. FCS & US-AEP have made presentations to over 1,500 people throughout Indonesia. We have submitted eight International Market Insights (IMI) on the current environmental activities in Indonesia. In an effort to stimulate U.S. businesses� interest in Indonesia, FCS developed a program to provide free mini Agent/Distributor Searches (ADS). US-AEP has completed thirty-two Agent/Distributor Searches and has received positive feedback.

T&I will work to encourage a mutually beneficial partnership with US municipal compost companies and the Jakarta government managing the landfill. TTO will continue its partnership with USAID and DoE working cooperatively to address stationary pollution sources by contributing resources and expertise for a power plant repowering study tour and collaborating to develop a study tour addressing oil and gas refinery emissions. TTO will recruit suitable individuals and coordinate activities for a number of key events including WEFTEC, Medtrade, and AWMA.

Indonesia has made remarkable progress over the last 25 years in achieving economic growth and reducing poverty. However, much of this progress was achieved without commensurate progress in sustainable development. In mid-1997, the country was afflicted by the Asian economic crisis, accompanied by the worst drought in fifty years and falling prices for oil, gas, and other Indonesian commodity exports. The Rupiah plummeted, inflation soared, and capital flight accelerated. The economy contracted by 13.7% in 1998 as a result of the economic crisis. Economic growth recovered to 0.2% in 1999 and is expected to be 3.0% in 2000.

The economic crisis has contributed to dramatic political changes in the central government. The overwhelming issue facing newly elected

political leaders is devolution of power to areas outside Jakarta, while seeking to check forces of disintegration. Two public laws (nos. 22 and 25) respond to pressures to shift administrative and financial responsibility from the center to the cities/counties and to share more revenue with the regions--especially the resource-rich regions. The environment and sustainable development are also important parts of decentralization issues as viewed by many from the provinces. The deadline for implementing decentralization laws is January 1, 2001. This may slip.

The AID Mission in Indonesia is in the process of finalizing a strategy that will be released in August 2000. We will continue to strengthen the US-AEP relationship with USAID Mission counterparts.

Objectives:

• Strengthen institutions for environmental protection for a better quality of life for Indonesia�s citizens by completing programs, in cooperation with like-minded partners, focused on providing clean water and cleaner air; and
• Provide programs to help alleviate the strain of Indonesia�s economic crisis by improving industrial efficiency, corporate governance and service delivery within cities.

• Cooperate with partners to focus on basic environmental protection such as air quality improvement and solid waste management.
• Focus on delivery of urban environmental services, particularly water.
• Focus technology transfer on opportunities to foster efficiencies, such as working with (national power company) PLN in a way that complements and builds on US Mission and Department of Energy (DOE) efforts underway.
• Continue to focus on mutually agreed activities in the industrial sector to promote sustainable growth, such as by restructuring the PROPER program to become an industrial benchmarking effort.
• Pursue recycling activities with the public and private sectors, particularly building on activities of small and medium enterprise members of business groups such as (IWAPI) the Indonesian Businesswomen�s Association.
• Be receptive to opportunities that may arise in the crisis recovery atmosphere, using the FY1998 rapid response model.
• Complement and enhance work on decentralization and democratization through a partnership of USAID, US-AEP and the State Legislative Leaders Foundation (SLLF).

US-AEP will bring together national and local governments, regulatory agencies, NGOs, the business sector and individuals in a well-focused range of cooperative activities. Partners will include:

• Swisscontact, CIDA, USAID, the World Bank, ADB, GTZ, JICA, SUSTRAN, PELANGI, USEPA and others in activities related to air quality and lead fuel phase out.
• Friends of the Environment Fund (DML)/ Indonesian Pollution Prevention Roundtable (KMB) and EcoLink � Center for Business and Environment to enhance ability of industrial companies to improve efficiency while reducing waste.
• The National Standardization Agency, BSN, for Regional Activities for Environmental Management Systems/ISO 14000.
• The State Legislative Leaders Foundation (SLLF), AID Mission and the private sector to develop leadership capacity on sustainable development issues at the provincial government level.
• BAPEDAL, Ministry of Industry and industry associations in support of cleaner production through adaptation of the PROPER program.
• Indonesian industry associations, major Indonesian corporations, and sources of financing, to apply American technology to environmental problems in Indonesia.
• PERPAMSI (the Association of Indonesian Water Enterprises), IATPI (Indonesian Association of Sanitary Engineers), and YLKI (Indonesian Consumers� Association) for community participation in the provision of water supply service.

1. Supported self-help projects of environmental management including clean technology and cleaner production initiatives including those aimed at saving jobs
2. Supported decentralization and involvement of NGO's and citizens groups in environmental services and economic growth
3. Continued to engage private sector leaders in promotion of trade and technical information, especially in key promising sectors
4. Supported innovative projects providing synergy with Mission and other targeted/key donor activities.

US-AEP's public policy and regulation activities built on the momentum and political changes of FY1999. The accomplishments described below supported the following FY2000 objectives.

1. Support decentralization and involvement of NGO's and citizens groups in environmental services and economic growth and
2. Support innovative projects providing synergy with Mission and other targeted/key donor activities.

US-AEP�s policy staff resources continued building relationships with relevant key Indonesian Government Officials (including Ministers, Director Generals, and Deputy Ministers), appropriate, active NGO�s, and the private sector. Energy and time were devoted to monitoring and supporting and shaping where possible- the continuing political process of decentralization in government, the strengthening of key NGO's and information sharing. Subsequently, partners both in government, the NGO community, and like-minded donors were identified to work with to achieve mutually agreed to goals. The focus was to become accepted as a legitimate colleague with others already working to shape the decisions being made on - improving the air quality, particularly in urban areas like Jakarta (reputed to have the third dirtiest air in the world).

To achieve that long-term goal, groundwork was laid, including successfully working in concert with GOI and 10 multi and bilateral donors coordinating the International Sustainable Transport & Clean Air Conference, to which US-AEP served as co-chair. This three-day event brought active participation from practitioners (government, non-government, and private-sector) from 18 countries including Indonesia to share best practices and regional cooperative opportunities. A regional working group is reviewing the resulting recommendations from 261 participants. USEPA hosted the conference follow-up workshop to begin that review process. US-AEP will continue to serve a coordination and information-sharing role as the recommendations are reviewed and undertaken. USAEP will also be an active partner in FY2001, in a number of activities that were determined to be priorities at the conclusion of the international conference.

Coordinated activities in 1999 resulted in a more informed public, has laid the groundwork, for improved decision-making, and increased use of cleaner fuels by a better-informed public. Another positive result of collective efforts - technical experts have increased interest in providing training and materials to help Indonesia move toward a better managed and maintained public transportation system, a mandatory inspection and maintenance program for private vehicles, and an improved traffic management program, as well as the likelihood, due to positive relationships with key government officials are increased future trade and investment opportunities.

Our urban program will contribute to the decentralization of government and self-reliance of municipal water authorities. The following objectives from FY2000 were met:

1. Support decentralization and involvement of NGO's and citizens groups in environmental services and economic growth, and
2. Support innovative projects providing synergy with Mission and other targeted/key donor activities.

Several projects were key to the Indonesia program achieving its goals to support decentralization and involvement of NGO's and citizens groups in both environmental services and economic growth. These projects all provided close synergy with mission activities.

• The WISE (customer satisfaction survey methodology) project conducted full customer satisfaction surveys in three representative localities, informed stakeholders of the advantages of surveys, and produced a handbook. The Ministry of Home Affairs issued a circular endorsing the use of customer satisfaction surveys by all water enterprises. The mission's CLEAN Urban project is funding further training in use of the surveys, and the World Bank-assisted Benchmarking Project is expected to incorporate customer satisfaction as a benchmark of water enterprise performance so that the customer's voice will be heard and honored.
• The WETTER re-rating project produced training materials, trained 75 trainers, and conducted a re-rating exercise in Bandung that increased one water treatment plant's capacity by 70% without the addition of capital. Follow-on training in the provinces for this self-help activity is being funded by PERPAMSI, the Association of Water Enterprises.
• The WILD (women's institutions for local development) project is developing methodology for contacting and motivating local women's groups to support the work of water enterprises and provide community feedback.

Corporate Environmental Management program continued to support self-help projects of environmental management including clean technology and cleaner production initiatives including those aimed at saving jobs. The FY 2000 Corporate program worked closely with partner Friends of the Environment Fund (DML)/ Indonesian Pollution Prevention Roundtable (KMB) to complete a number of exciting and worthwhile activities begun in part in FY1998 and FY 1999.

In FY 2000, two grants were successfully closed out, namely grants to:

• All field activities completed
• A final report on activity results completed
• All financial reports completed and submitted

• All field activities completed
• All financial reports completed and submitted

The main outcomes of the above collaborative activities are as follows:

• 114 small- and medium-size companies across Java are aware of and starting to experience the benefits of cleaner production (CP). At the end of the project period, 24 companies had begun to implement the recommendations, a number of which reported back improvements in product quality, extension of buyers� contracts, cost savings, and, most importantly, ability to maintain their workforce. Cumulatively, the annual savings projected come up to nearly USD 1,000,000 from a total investment of about USD 200,000.
• Four regions in Java (Greater Jakarta area, West Java, Central Java and East Java) developed EcoProductivity teams that assisted the 114 SMEs. In May 2000, the teams and the industries/SMEs formed local roundtables to continue sharing CP experiences. The local roundtables are expected to serve as extension agents to spread awareness and knowledge on EcoProductivity in their respective regions.
• A Waste Exchange has been established at DML, featuring a database on types of waste available, and types of waste needed by recyclers or industry. This database is linked to the KMB website. Almost 160 wastes have been entered, though still mainly on the waste available category.
• DML also developed a procedure for assessing the business viability of recycling certain wastes, as well as studied the viability of 15 (fifteen) types of waste. The assessment procedure includes assessment of location of waste generators, conversion technology, potential market for recycled products, and buying and selling prices. Out of the 15, there are 7 (seven) types of waste considered having real business potential and should be studied further. DML completed one pre-feasibility study for used plastic (PET) beverage bottles.
• The KMB Information Center now consists of a library of CP publications and reports, and the Waste Exchange database. The Information Center also manages a website which is continually being updated and improved.

Trade and Investment as our technology transfer office is now called looked to achieve the following FY2000 objective:

1. Continue to engage private sector leaders in promotion of trade and technical information, especially in key promising sectors and
2. Support innovative projects providing synergy with Mission and other targeted/key donor activities.

The Trade and Investment activities leveraged our foundation of key industry contacts, synergistic projects being supported and funded by the Mission, and Foreign Commercial Service�s (FSC) Outreach & Free Market Evaluation Programs to create the interest in buying U.S. environmental technologies throughout Indonesia

Year to date, we have focused our activities and funds on key export-oriented or agricultural sectors, we are in the final process of submitting four success stories with projected combined sales well above $20 million. From these targeted sectors, we have sent eleven Indonesians to regional or U.S. workshops, conferences, and study tours. Continuing our efforts, three Americans are in transit to Indonesia to perform bench tests on different oil-sludges at the state-owned Oil Company, Pertamina.

Year to date, we are continuing our support of the Mission�s projects. In coordination with the Mission, we sent two key Indonesians from the state-owned Electricity Company (PLN) on site visits throughout the U.S. We foresee that in the near future, that many Indonesia power plants will need to be retrofitted to increase their energy efficiency which will benefit the environment by reducing green house gases emissions and pollutants which create acid rain.

YTD, we are leveraging the support of FCS/Indonesia to reach more potential clients of U.S. environmental technologies and services. FCS & US-AEP have made presentations on our services and resources to over 1,500 people throughout Indonesia. We have been able to submit eight International Market Insights (IMI) on current environmental activities in Indonesia. In addition, in an effort to stimulate U.S. businesses� interest in Indonesia, FCS started a program to provide free mini Agent/Distributor Searches (ADS). US-AEP has completed thirty-two and has had some positive feedback.

Country: Indonesia

Activity Name: Enhancing Parliamentary Leadership Skills for Improved Environmental Decision-Making

Contact Person: Karla M Boreri

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As part of the current USAEP Indonesia Strategy, US-AEP in partnership with The State Legislative Leaders Foundation (SLLF) and the USAID Indonesian Mission- proposes to enhance parliamentary leadership skills by: 1) providing time and country-tested expert technical and advisory support to Indonesia�s parliamentary legislative leaders. Lessons learned in the US and in Europe clearly indicate that a better informed, better educated, set of parliamentary leaders will more likely make sound, sensible decisions on all issues facing them, including US-AEP�s foci- business and the environment.

In FY2000, US-AEP supported a preliminary exploratory mission to Indonesia to explore potential opportunities, partners, linkages and niches for an activity with SLLF. The results of the first successful mission included the drafting and vetting of a proposal for a two-tiered activity. The two-tiered activity consists of an initial research and development phase (which is already launched) and the development of a comprehensive series of in country and foreign-based educational and exchanges programs aimed at achieving our goal as listed above.

During the current program development phase, which will extend through January 2001, the activity will accomplish the following:

1. Organize an advisory group of experts to work closely with SLLF and US-AEP in developing a program curriculum specifically tailored to meet the needs of Indonesia�s parliamentary leaders, their ranking members and staff. This advisory group will take an active role in implementing various educational and exchange programs as faculty and facilitators.
2. In addition to developing an accurate profile of the current system while expanding the network of contacts, during Phase I we will be assess the needs of Indonesia�s parliamentary leaders, staff and parliamentarians to tailor our educational programs accordingly.
3. Lay the framework for a series of programs based in Indonesia, the United States, and Europe.

The in-country programs, which will run for approximately 2 days each, will include a mixture of skills sessions (managing the institution, conflict resolution, hiring and firing staff, organizing committees) and substantive issues sessions geared to engaging Indonesian legislators in dialogues that at once more fully examine a given issue and also demonstrate effective strategies for deciding how to resolve a given issue. Focusing on environmental business related issues.

Finally, during Phase I we will start to lay the groundwork for our first exchange program in the United States contacting potential host state legislatures and beginning to formulate the type of educational program we will offer to the first class of Indonesian parliamentarians. Also, during this phase, we will plan to engage select groups of Indonesian parliamentary leaders in various SLLF and SLLF/Europe programs scheduled through 2001.

Phase II�Year 2 / Program Objectives

One of our primary goals throughout this project will be to engage Indonesian legislators in the world community of representative democracies. Indonesia�s nascent democracy will best be served when her parliamentary leaders engage in sharing information and ideas with their political counterparts in other nations.

The second phase of this program will be implementation. We will craft a series of intensive in-country educational programs for up to 3 parliamentary bodies in 2001 and 6 or more in 2002. Additionally, we propose to organize a series of exchange programs bringing key Indonesian parliamentarians to the United States and also to Europe to participate in a variety of management-based programs and issues-based programs.

Our first program will likely be held in the United States in early 2001. It will involve from 6�8 Indonesian parliamentarians and perhaps several staff and translators, would begin on a university campus where the Indonesians would have the opportunity to learn more about the American model of representative government and we, in turn, could learn more about the interests of the Indonesians. This portion of the program would run for approximately 4 days.

Next, the delegation would visit several state legislatures where they would meet with key American legislators and be given the opportunity to closely observe the inner-workings of the state legislative process. Each state visit would be for approximately 2 days and might include up to three such visits depending on logistics and timing. Following a week of legislative visits, the group would return to the university for a day of debriefings, discussing what they saw and learned and helping us develop strategies for future US exchange programs.

In 2001, currently planning at least two major meetings, one in Germany in early 2001 focusing on energy deregulation, and a second conference most likely in Eastern Europe. During this second phase we propose to invite select delegations of Indonesians to participate in each of these European-based programs.

It is likely that different programs will have to be developed for each level of parliamentary government owing to significant variations in legislative experience and the respective duties and responsibilities of legislators at the local, provincial, and national levels of government. Regardless of these differences, our goal will be to offer programs to provincial and local parliamentary bodies and also to the national parliament. Each program will average approximately 2 days and will involve fairly intensive classroom discussions focusing on relevant policy and process issues. Members of our advisory group will lead program discussions and simultaneous translation will be used in every program.

The precise curriculum will of course, vary with the audience, however we can safely assume that among the offerings will be discussions that focus on aspects of parliamentary leadership, managing the legislative process, coalition-building, conflict resolution, dealing with constituencies in and outside the parliament, ethics, the media�all highly relevant topics to any democracy and especially pertinent in the case of this burgeoning democracy.

We envision having an ongoing and permanent presence in Indonesia. The individual we recruit will assist us with logistics in program planning, keeping us fully apprised of relevant developments, helping us recruit future "classes" of Indonesian parliamentarians, fundraising and program development. Based on our experiences in Indonesia, it is also conceivable that our SLLF representative could assist us in developing a SE Asia organization or confederation of parliamentary leaders. Said person might also play a significant role in the carrying forward after our grant is completed with the educational and training programs we will have established.

C. Phase II�Year 3 / Program Objectives (please refer to SLLF proposal)

The goal is that non-USAID resources will fund the SLLF program. US-AEP may contribute in a limited way through exchanges, or training programs.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The results would serve to enhance and strengthen the decision-making abilities for key legislative decision-makers while promoting an improved business and investment climate; by improving the capacity of the parliamentarians, by addressing public policy questions in the environment, natural resource, and energy areas, by effectively working with various stakeholder groups, including NGO�s, the business community in developing legislation and parliamentary oversight.

Activity Name: Baseline Blood Lead-level Analysis Program for Air Quality Improvement

Contact Person: Karla M Boreri

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This activity addresses objective 1 in the US-AEP Indonesia strategy paper. The goal of this activity is to collect and present data showing that lead in gasoline is undermining the health of all Indonesians, especially children in urban areas. The data will be analyzed and shared with Indonesian decision-makers and NGO�s. A well organized testing program utilizing all required protocols will record the blood lead levels of a target group of children residing in areas called hotspots (containing what we believe are high levels of lead from vehicle emissions). This activity covers over-all program development and implementation, testing/analyzing equipment and training of Indonesian health professionals, in three pre-determined sites in Jakarta, Indonesia.

Swisscontact, (an NGO), along with US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), the Center for Disease Control, (CDC), along with the Ministry of Health and Environment, will develop this activity, including the development of the Jakarta survey instrument, and pre-test, protocols, recommendations for testing sites, and selection of urban children populations for blood testing.

Swisscontact will work in partnership with US-AEP, USEPA and CDC to secure permits for (importation of equipment and working permits for US health officials), synchronize/harmonize the existing protocols of (USAID, USEPA, CDC and Indonesian Ministry of Health). CDC will provide protocol, training for Indonesian health professionals and oversight during the testing periods and analyze test results. CDC will also provide the equipment and supplies so that trained health professionals can create future testing programs or re-test baseline group to monitor lead-level reduction progress, using donated testing equipment and supplies.

Swisscontact will draft for review and complete a final report on the blood testing activity.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The results would serve as a recognized policy tool for decision-makers looking at timelines for lead phase out in gasoline in urban areas in Indonesia. Would provide useful long-term training and transfer of US technology. This activity is part of a larger collective set of activities all designed to improve air quality in urban areas in Indonesia. The 261 participants of the recently held Sustainable Transport & Clean Air International Conference, of which US-AEP was a co-chair named this activity as a priority.

Activity Name: Air Quality Outreach Campaign

Contact Person: Sarita Hoyt and Sylvia Correa

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This program addresses objective 1 in the strategic paper. US-AEP will work with partner US-EPA and a local established, appropriate NGO. It will involve the development of a public awareness outreach and information campaign addressing the critical need to socialize a number of key clean air issues including the focus issue- unleaded gasoline. The activity will be developed in concert and thus will build upon outreach activities by our donor partners.

The activity will follow and build upon the baseline testing activity currently being developed for implementation in November 2000 and will also take into consideration the USAID funded and supported Ministry of Mines and Energy Fuel subsidy and specification report due to be completed in December 2000. This activity will be funded by the US-AEP-US-EPA EAPI grant secured in FY2000, and awarded in October FY2001. It will like commencing including design in early 2001.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The results would include increased understanding of Indonesia�s air quality issues related to mobile sources, provide a vehicle for access to information and create the demand for that information as well as increased pressure on GoI to affect positive changes in regulations relating to air quality from mobile sources and eventually opportunities for transfer of U.S. technology.

Activity Name: Environmental Institutional Capacity Building

Contact Person: Sarita Hoyt, US-EPA

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Indonesia is facing many major political changes. In the past, all governmental management including the environmental management was based on a central power structure. Currently, the decision-making authority and potentially resources are being devolved to the provincial and local levels. In 1999, President Wahid�s government appointed Mr. Sonny Keraf as the new Minister of the Environment of Indonesia. Minister Keraf has appointed new high-level staff to establish and oversee the environmental priorities for the Indonesian government. Mr. Keraf has been supportive of US-AEP and partner US-EPA and US-EPA�s goals to phase lead out of gasoline in this country. Minister Keraf welcomes this type of activity and assistance.

EPA proposes to strengthen the Ministry of Environment, BAPEDAL and key BAPEDALDA�s understanding of how to manage an environmental organization and interface with different levels of government in the context of the current decentralization process by organizing two seminars for key Indonesian officials. Using case studies relevant in the Indonesian context, these two interactive sessions will help government officials at all levels and other interested parties discuss management strategies for all phases of an organization�s planning and implementation. Topics will include setting vision and performance expectations, managing performance, decision making, accountability, project and financial reporting. Other factors will be addressed such as interacting with the public, constituents concerns and de-evolution of authority in BAPEDALDA�s.

Activity Name: Regional Inspector Training & Peer Networking in Southeast Asia

Contact Person: Sarita Hoyt US-EPA

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A regional inspector train-the-trainer project approved by US-AEP for fiscal year 2000 is a concrete step to strengthen environmental compliance and enforcement networking and capacity building in Southeast Asia. The program proposes a combined 5-day seminar and demonstration of multimedia inspection, criminal investigation techniques and US-EPA experience with EMS/process oriented audits in combination with compliance inspection. It would focus on a priority problem area, proposed as a focus on refineries given attention to air pollution in the region or alternatively energy, pulp and paper, or mining. Training would be multi-media in nature and incorporate experience with typical types of violations, root causes, opportunities to correct and prevent. Inspector training would include opportunity for exchange on types of requirements currently in place within the U.S. and countries of focus.

Environmental enforcement officials from 10 countries, 8 from Southeast Asia, participating in a meeting sponsored by the World Bank Institute Regional Cooperation to strengthen Environmental Compliance and Enforcement in Asia, June 19-22, 2000 enthusiastically endorsed the planned delivery of train-the-trainer inspector training for the region by US-EPA inspectors supported by the US Asia Environmental Partnership. US-AEP project funds supported participation by two US-EPA officials, including a prospective trainer for inspectors in the region. This enabled US-EPA to help launch a regional inspector-training project and generally provide support for regional networking and commitment to strengthening environmental compliance and enforcement.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This project will enhance capacity within three host countries in depth and across the region as a whole at appropriate levels of government to conduct objective, credible and thorough environmental inspections to monitor compliance with national environmental laws and investigative potential environmental crimes. It will leave the region with a core of trained inspector trainers for cost-effective delivery of inspector training and create a context for sustained informal peer support and networking as well as future training deliveries, through the auspices of ASEAN, the UNEP regional environmental program or other mechanism for regional cooperation. The training is designed to provide focus on types of pollution sources and economic activity, which will have the greatest potential for measurable improvement in environmental performance. Most significantly it will build capacity in a core skill area, inspection, required for effective implementation of a range of innovative and traditional environmental programs and policy instruments. It also has the potential to demonstrate the application of distance learning by taping, broadcasting and using new communications technology to support a wider audience for training opportunities.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Relationship to US-AEP Strategic Objective:

Addresses the strategic objective- strengthening institutions for environmental protection.

Creates effective programs to encourage and compel compliance with regulatory regimes and policies to promote cleaner production, environmental technology, and improved environmental performance beyond compliance rest upon several fundamental capacities including the ability to present an effective, credible field presence through dedicated, independent environmental inspection.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Asian and Regional Partners:

UNEP, ASEAN, World Bank including the World Bank Institute, APCEL are potential near term partners in supporting country participation and sustaining partners in supporting ongoing networking and capacity building on a regional basis.

Anticipated Cost Share:

The World Bank Institute and country loan or grant programs will contribute to some of the participant travel expenses and help to support some of the distance learning opportunities that arise from these deliveries.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Milestone Dates:

Training delivery is proposed for January, April and June 2001. Government officials recommended that it commence no sooner than January of 2001 to avoid the rainy season and enables sufficient time for preparation for participants to arrange for funding. Training would be staggered to take place in each of the three locations within the region: Indonesia, the Philippines and Vietnam (unconfirmed) and/or Thailand who offered to host the inspector training as well. Alternatively we could deliver training for two weeks twice at two different locations. Contacts for each of the countries were solicited June 22 at the regional meeting. Scheduling and selection of sector focus will be set by September 2000 and invitations extended by October 1. This should give country officials sufficient notice to arrange for funding and travel. We should have some agreements in advance on how the training will be used and built upon by the countries and provision for ongoing mutual support among all those involved in the training including the US personnel. We also need to overcome issues related to Health and safety, training and equipment confidentiality of refinery operations within country, among countries.

Activity Name: Vehicle Emissions Action Plan

Contact Person: Sarita Hoyt US-EPA and Stacy Bonnaffons ADB/US-AEP

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The ADB is hosting four regional workshops at the end of 2000 and in 2001 on topics to mitigate vehicular and transportation-related pollution in Asia, bringing together government, civil society and private sector. The ADB will select one country to take the lead on each topic to construct a model "Action Plan," through domestic consultants, prior to each seminar. Specifically, the workshops will review market incentives and regulations in relation to the following topics during regional conferences at the proposed locations:

• Conventional and Alternative Fuels. India will do the Action Plan, conference may be held in India.

• Pollution Controls and New and In Use Vehicles. China will do the Action Plan, conference will probably be in China.

• Urban Transportation and Traffic Management. Maybe Jakarta for the Action Plan, conference could be in either Indonesia or Dhaka, Bangladesh.

• Final Workshop for presentation of Action Plans, Policies and Recommendations and list of proposed projects, in Manila, Philippines.

ADB has requested that US-AEP and EPA as partners in these workshops based on their expertise and experiences on air quality in Asia. Specifically, US-AEP/EPA assistance has been identified in two ways:

• Identify and provide resource speakers for each topic. This would be a good opportunity to share the EPA and World Bank�s Transport and Air Quality Tool Kit.

• Identify key Asian officials working on air issues who would be interested in participating in the workshops. It is proposed that US-AEP/Tech Reps and "regional funds" would provide funding for the participation of key participants.

** US-AEP has informed ADB that they are not able to pay for participants to a workshop held in China.

** The ADB Regional TA covers participation of 16 developing member countries. If US-AEP would like to support "observer participants" from developed members, (HK, Sing, Taiwan), that will be accepted.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

• IR 1.1 Improved Public Policy and Environmental Regulations (implementation for Bapedal)

Activity Name: USEPA Ambient Air Monitoring Training Course

Contact Person: Jane Metcalf and James Homolya, US-EPA

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Indonesia�s worsening air quality is known the world over. Foreign technical support for ambient air monitoring in Indonesia is fractured and often ends with installed equipment, under-trained air monitoring staff and lack of replacement parts. USEPA has determined that Indonesia should be a target country for addressing this and other air quality issues. To that end- USEPA proposes to pilot test a training course that has just been developed on ambient air monitoring. This course would provide their counterpart government officials in Bapedal the opportunity to learn from the US experience, would develop a foundation for planning and help them implement or improve existing ambient air monitoring programs.

The activity consists of a preliminary exploratory visit (February 2000), and a second working level visit (September 2000) to have detailed technical discussions about ambient air monitoring, the training course, and developing a case study for Jakarta to be used in the course. This visit will also be used to assess viability and interest in course, to network with government and NGO counterparts for course delivery and for course participant identification and course planning and the delivery of the course in early 2001. US-AEP will serve as liaison for USEPA incountry.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Better trained and more capable ambient air monitoring staff, an improved foundation for implementing ambient air monitoring programs in a more systematic and coordinated fashion, building on existing activities.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Country: Indonesia & Regional (Vietnam based)

Activity Name: Environmental Regulatory Dialogue

Contact Person: Dennis Zvinakis

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Description of Activity:

US-AEP is working regionally to expand dialogue between environmental regulatory officials, private sector leaders, and other experts from Asian and industrialized countries. The principal objectives are to: (1) create a network committed to strengthening Asian environmental regulatory systems; and (2) improve understanding of regulatory challenges and develop innovative solutions. A first in country activity is being launched in Thailand with the Thai Environmental Law and Policy Forum.

Given the regional ambitions of this initiative, Vietnam seems appropriate for the next tier of country activity for a number of reasons. First, Vietnam in is the process of revising its basic environmental legislation, indicating that there is real interest in looking at the overall regulatory framework. Second, U.S. EPA has managed to begin specific policy dialogue related initiative, indicating that there is interest in outside collaboration. Third, through its initiative on unleaded gasoline phase out in Vietnam, US-AEP in Vietnam worked closely with US-AEP in Thailand to nurture a working relationship between the Pollution Control Department of MOSTE/Thailand and the National Environmental Agency of MOSTE Vietnam. The potential to expand that relationship is real and should be aggressively explored.

There is, of course, a more narrow focus of public discussion on policy issues in Vietnam than there is in Thailand. But given the above factors, an effort to develop a dialogue in Vietnam seems compelling. The first phase of development would consist of an assessment visit of Violette and Zvinakis, hopefully joined by Sarita Hoyt, US-EPA, which will l determine the prospects for developing a consensus on policies for strengthening regulatory program areas. Additionally it will identify a policy group in Vietnam to work with. There are a number of them, each with different strengths that should be assessed.

Subject to positive indications, a three-day event will be held in Hanoi in May of 2001. US-AEP will: (1) participate in preliminary working groups meetings to help identify and prioritize regulatory issues for the three-day workshop event; (2) provide information and contacts related to policy options, strategies, and lessons learned; and (3) fund travel and expenses of selected experts from the regional budget. As part of regional activities, US-AEP will continue to work with international donors such as the World Bank with which we already have an active partnership in Vietnam and with the ADB who have just completed a clean production action plan for Vietnam.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Expected Results: Environmental laws and policies strengthened; networks expanded

Activity Name: Upgrading of PDAM Supervisory Boards - Urban Management and Finance

Contact Person: Jim Woodcock

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

One pillar of Indonesia�s water sector strategy has been to establish an arm�s length relationship between the owner (local government) of a PDAM and the management. Local government often forces the PDAM to accept an employee or it takes funds from the PDAM current account for miscellaneous purposes. The key to the arm�s length relationship is the Supervisory Board, or badan pengawas, which is supposed to function like a board of directors representing the local government as the owner. According to the Minister of Home Affair�s Instruction no. 7 of 1998, each badan pengawas is to consist of one water enterprise professional and two representatives of consumers. Until now, because local governments are unaware of the advantages of having a PDAM board of directors, only about 12-15 PDAMs have established new badan pengawas, and even fewer have pro-active members.

The mission�s Local Government Water Services project plans to strengthen badan pengawas in 12 small core PDAMs as a part of intensive assistance leading to financial self-sufficiency. But there is a need to strengthen those badan pengawas that do exist now and to work with local governments to define and activate their role representing local government so the model can be replicated nationwide.

Over a three month period, an IQC team of one expatriate and three Indonesian professionals will meet with 10 larger PDAMs and local governments/badan pengawas to gain written agreement on the role, function, and advantages of an effective badan pengawas. They will work with PERPAMSI to disseminate the results of these agreements, mainly through sample written agreements and follow-up evaluations by PERPAMSI.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Expected Results: Supervisory Boards will become effective in 10 PDAMs, providing an arm�s length relationship between the owner (local government) and PDAM management that will be able to manage more professionally. PERPAMSI will be able to disseminate to other local governments/PDAMs the working model, sample agreements, and knowledge of the advantages to the local governments of a properly functioning Supervisory Board.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Relationship to US-AEP Country Strategy: This activity is consonant with US-AEP's strategy in Indonesia to contribute to the decentralization of government and self-reliance of municipal water authorities.

Activity Name: Support for Consumer Protection Compliance in Municipal Services

Contact Person: Jim Woodcock

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Indonesia�s new Consumer Protection Law was promulgated in about April 2000. Its provisions required that municipal enterprises such as water supply installations and sanitation services protect the consumers� rights. Subsequent to the promulgation of the law, WISE stakeholder meetings included representatives of YLKI (the Association of Indonesian Consumers) to ensure that consumer satisfaction surveys would help water enterprises comply with the new law.

Through an IRG-type grant, over a period of about three months, a team of three professionals from the Association of Indonesian Consumers will visit 20 selected water enterprises and wastewater authorities to audit their compliance with the new Consumer Protection Law and recommend measures for better compliance. The 20 PDAMs will be targeted by PERPAMSI, the Indonesian Association of Water Enterprises. They should include water enterprises that have been assisted by US-AEP�s WET, WILD, WETTER and WISE projects, as well as new water enterprises that are representative of both small and large municipalities. The team will assess the awareness of PDAM management for the consumer protection law, their knowledge of the consequences of non-compliance, and they will recommend a training module for compliance with consumer protection laws to Yayasan Tirta Dharma (PERPAMSI�s training arm) for inclusion in management training courses.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Awareness of and gradual compliance with consumer protection laws among Indonesia�s 300 PDAMs and wastewater services; consumer protection module being a part of PDAM management training. The activity will work closely with the mission�s Local Government Strengthening project and the Local Government Water Services project, planned to start in about October 2000.

This program includes the development of training materials, testing materials, and certification criteria for wastewater treatment plant operators in Indonesia. The focus of these activities is the industrial wastewater treatment sector, especially in urban areas. Working with its corresponding association Indonesia, IATPI, WEF would develop training materials, train-the-trainer materials, tests, and certification criteria to be used in a voluntary program. WEF would provide an initial train-the-trainer workshop and would assist in the translation of English-language materials. A WEF "mentor" will be identified to provide longer-term advice and assistance on certification issues via e-mail.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The results would include increased effectiveness of Indonesia�s wastewater treatment facilities, development of a professional culture, and transfer of U.S. technology.

Activity Name: Women�s Institutions for Local Development (WILD-2)

Contact Person: Jim Woodcock

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This proposed IRG grant for FY 2000 is designed to field test and expand techniques developed by the WILD-1 project. These techniques will help Indonesian municipal water enterprise staff involve women and women's groups in closer relationships with the water enterprises to conduct public education for the use of clean water.

Over a period of five months, a team of two part-time outreach experts will revisit the first three pilot locations plus two additional PDAM locations near each of two of the original PDAMs, making a total of 7 locations. With volunteer help from resource personnel from the first three locations, they will 1)Facilitate the creation and beginning implementation of calendar year 2001 action plans in 7 PDAMs, including budgeting by the PDAMs for these activities; 2)Identify and help bring in donor assistance for the creation of communications materials for 7 PDAMs/women�s groups in accordance with the request of both women�s groups and PDAMs during WILD-1, and 3) Test and improve the methodology and approach developed by WILD-1 in four new locations near the original three pilot locations and produce a handbook

Expected Results: As a result of this activity, consumers are expected to have a greater appreciation for the convenience and value of piped water. Eventually, cooperation and understanding between consumer groups and water enterprise management are expected to result in communications forums, or local constituencies that support the goals of water enterprise management, including tariff increases that are tied to service improvements. These outputs are all consistent with the current trends of decentralization, involvement of NGO's, openness, and increased community participation in urban service provision. The activity is consistent with US-AEP�s intermediate result 1.2: Improved Urban Environmental Management.

Activity Name: Water Enterprise Functional Training (WEFT)

Contact Person: Jim Woodcock

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The purpose of this proposed IRG grant is to establish a sustainable, short (one month), relevant functional training program for new water enterprise senior managers.

Each of Indonesia's 300 water enterprises usually is staffed by one Managing Director, 3 or 4 Directors, 6 Division Heads, and 16 Section Heads. As decentralization proceeds, the number of officers will be more likely to match the size and function of each water enterprise. But for the next two years, most water enterprises are expected to continue to have much the same management staffing as before.

There will be a dramatic increase in the appointment of new directors--as many as 250-- in the next year. They will need early orientation and training in order to confront the special challenges of municipal water enterprises during the current era of reformation and decentralization.

Yayasan Pendidikan Tirta Dharma plans to conduct an independent functional training program together with LAN, the prestigious National Institute of Public Administration. According to a 1999 law, the Department of Manpower will be the certifying authority for the program.

The team will coordinate with officers at the Department of Manpower to ensure that certification requirements are fulfilled. The team will also coordinate with the Training Coordinator that will be provided to Yayasan Pendidikan Tirta Dharma through the USAID-assisted Local Government Water Service project beginning in early October 2000.

Yayasan Pendidikan Tirta Dharma hopes to be able to provide three programs of functional training in 2001. Each program will serve two classes of 30-40 participants each: one class for Managing Directors and one for other Directors. Each training program would last for about one month. In future years Yayasan Pendidikan Tirta Dharma hopes to be able to expand the functional training to include lower level water enterprise managers.

Individual water enterprises will pay the costs of sending their senior managers to the training program.

The Asian Benchmarking Community (ABC) activity is a regional umbrella for all of the industrial and urban environmental measurement and disclosure activities that The Policy Group would like to initiate, sponsor, and encourage over the next several years. For the now, the ABC in Indonesia includes environmental goal-setting, measurement, reporting (internal and /or external), and "benchmarking" activities with small-and-medium enterprises. This work may or may not take place in conjunction with the Global Reporting Initiative, depending on the interests of Indonesian participants.

Our colleagues in Indonesia have identified a few export sectors that have strong leadership potential in this area. The cement sector, for instance, is extremely sensitive to rising energy costs; the crumb rubber sector is a water-intensive export sector (one partner company might be Goodyear Tire); and palm oil looks promising, given its regional topicality and the potential for collaboration with Malaysia. We have committed to identifying appropriate donors and partners that can contribute to this initiative.

In May 2000, the Policy Group invited two representatives from Indonesia to attend a series of meetings on industrial benchmarking. Discussions focused on developing activities to build on Indonesia�s past experience with the PROPER program to evaluate and motivate industry�s environmental performance.

In FY 2001, US-AEP intends to introduce benchmarking to a wider Indonesian audience and further explore the potential for establishing industrial benchmarking activities in Indonesia. This exploration process will include identification of local partner institutions and appropriate activities for the next fiscal year.

The activities planned are as follows:

Activity Name: Urban Compost Market Study

Contact Person: Rini Sulaiman

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The objective of this activity is to create promote sustainable urban compost SMEs in Jabotabek by helping to establish a replicable system to match supply and demand while ensuring or encouraging consistent quality.

In FY 2000, US-AEP commenced this activity by engaging USAID and Dana Mitra Lingkungan (DML) to prepare a strategy and focus for a compost market survey. The market survey will be commenced end of FY 2000 or early FY 2001.

Following completion of the market survey, the partners will take the findings of the market survey and develop a program that will link compost producers and buyers. Activities currently envisioned include establishing producers� cooperative or association, incorporating compost as an item in DML�s Waste Exchange, and conduct communication/ outreach on the benefits of using compost (as opposed to chemical fertilizers). The specific activities will be determined after the market survey is completed.

An exchange may be conducted to other Asian countries, possibly India, for Indonesians to learn about how urban solid waste can be sustainably managed with a compost-production and marketing component.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Phase I: Completion of a compost market survey for the Jakarta-West Java area, and development of a program to develop a sustainable link between small-medium compost producers and compost consumers.

Phase II: A replicable pattern in Jakarta-West Java to match supply and demand of compost, while encouraging improved and consistent quality.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Supports strategy to cooperate with partners to focus on basic environmental protection, such as solid waste management.

Activity Name: Increasing Supply and Demand for Energy Efficiency in Indonesia

Contact Person: Judith Barry

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In April 2000, energy tariffs for medium and large industries increased by around 55 to 75%, and will increase more over time. Barriers to addressing this problem exist on both the demand and supply sides. Industries know they need to improve their energy efficiency (EE) to keep costs down, but they require cost analyses and success stories demonstrating ways to affordably reduce the cost of electricity per unit of product output. Indonesian companies and individuals with the expertise to meet the needs of industry are scattered, not easily identified by those needing them, and not organized as a recognized resource and voice.

To strengthen the ability of EE providers to reach customers and to increase the awareness of EE benefits among potential clients.

The project has two basic approaches, one targeting both the EE providers and potential users, and the other only the EE providers. The project will be divided into two phases, the first to have the two project implementing organizations work together to determine the best course of action, and the second to implement that course of action. A model for achieving the objective exists, and the likely efficacy of this model in Indonesia will be assessed in the first phase, with other models to be developed as needed depending on results of the phase one analysis.

One approach of the existing two-pronged model is to hold a series of seminars that provide success stories and other practical, hands on information to industries of the type they need in order to implement EE practices, while at the same time making them aware of some of the EE providers available to them. This dual goal is accomplished by having EE providers be the (unpaid) seminar speakers. The other approach of the model is to create a self-sustaining Indonesian Association of Energy Efficiency Companies that increases the ability of EE providers to reach their customers. Also, as a recognized body of expertise on EE, the Association can communicate as a collective voice on energy efficiency issues with the private and public sectors. Using Association members as speakers in the seminar series helps to further the fledgling association and its members by increasing the credibility and visibility of both. Also, an Association has an institutional memory that can carry the lessons learned from the USAEP project into the future, increasing the likelihood that the short term benefits of the USAEP project will be perpetuated over the long term.

Project Design

The first step of the project is to develop a detailed work plan that is designed to most effectively address the needs of both the EE industry in Indonesia and the end users requiring increased EE. To do this, the project will begin with a preliminary analysis surveying both the EE suppliers and potential customers for their needs: industries, industrial associations, EE companies, and EE engineers. The status of Indonesia�s EE industry must be characterized, for example by determining the number of companies (both local and foreign or joint-ventures), the percentage of their portfolio consisting of EE services and products, the obstacles they face in advancing their EE business, the length of time they have been in existence, and the capabilities of EE consultants and their need for training. Industries must be surveyed to determine their reaction to increased energy prices and the greatest obstacles to their adoption of EE practices. For example: Are they already (or planning to) spend money on hiring consultants and buying equipment? To whom do they go for these services (e.g., general management consulting firms, general engineering firms, or specialized EE companies/NGOs)? Or do they have staff that can address energy saving approaches? Are they interested only in low-cost/no-cost interventions, or are they willing to make sizable investments for long-term savings?

Both sides of the EE equation should be queried to gauge the level of interest in various approaches, such as the seminars, an Indonesian Association of Energy Efficiency Companies, and a certification program for EE providers. The Alliance to Save Energy, itself an association of energy efficiency companies which has considerable experience starting such associations in developing countries, will help EE providers understand the potential benefits to them. Part of the preliminary assessment will determine what technical assistance the providers would like from the Alliance in order to form a viable association, in addition to the basics such as learning how to become self-sustaining and producing a directory. For example, assistance with: packaging and marketing their capabilities and products; effective business practices; conducting market studies for members to determine where the biggest efficiency gains are; providing a forum for members to share success stories among themselves and with potential customers; training programs for consultants; and evaluating the advantages of and processes involved in requiring its engineer members to be recertified and/or internationally certified.

In FY 2001, US-AEP funds are requested for Phase One only. Phase Two will be proposed for FY 2002, pending approval of the results of the study and workplan.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The output of Phase One will be a detailed project work plan. Some cost-share will be expected from EE providers during the course of this project. 1) An understanding among Indonesia industries that there are no- and low-cost ways they can increase their energy and process efficiencies, and an awareness of those who can supply the required expertise. 2) A more robust, organized, and higher profile EE industry in Indonesia which will continue to help increase EE in Indonesian industries over the long term.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In FY2001, Earth Energies, Inc. (EEI) will be building a small composting site at Jakarta�s largest metropolitan garbage dump, in the city of Bekasi, which is located approximately 15 miles from Jakarta. At the present time, the Bekasi garbage dump is running out of space with no another site available to accept the 6,000 tons of garbage generated each day from the metropolitan Jakarta area.

The Director General of the Ministry of Agriculture was the former President of the Indonesian Organic Fertilizer non-profit association (MAPORINA), he has proposed to Indonesian government officials to create large-scale composting operations to reduce Indonesia�s state-owned plantations� dependence on chemical fertilizers. As a result of his effort, the Director General contacted TEVI�s Indonesian JV partner, PT Trimitra Buana Perkasa (PTTBP). TEVI through the help of US-AEP Indonesia located EEI and their MSW to COF technologies. EEI will be building the composting site under the direction and supervision of Tri Ecological Ventura, Inc. (TEVI).

Activity Name: U.S. Study Tour for Power Plant Life Assessments, Life Extensions, & Repowering

Contact Person: Gerald Sanders and Sheila Young, DoE

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Description of Activity:

Indonesia is at a critical point in its energy sector reform activities. The economic crisis of 1998, though bad for the economy, opened up several windows of opportunities for improvements in the power sector. Furthermore, as Indonesia moves closer toward reform, there will be a greater movement toward increased competition among power plants. Some of the signs of this competition are already evident. In order for plants to meet this competition head-on, they will be assessing the lives of their current plants and identifying areas to extend the life of their plants, including repowering. Therein lies the opportunity for intervention that could give US companies a competitive edge by learning more about the needs of the Indonesian power sector. Likewise, a visit by Indonesians to US businesses would help them understand the strengths of US firms in conducting plant life assessments, plant life extensions and repowering.

Before PLN moves toward plant life extension and repowering, it needs to know what is involved in conducting plant life assessments and understand how to interpret the results of the assessments. The target participants for this study tour are from PLN�s Jasa Engineering (JE) and Jasa Technik (JT). These are the two groups within PLN who are considering experts in the area of engineering for commissioning and design and financial information for refurbishing plants, but they need additional knowledge of the most efficiency, environmentally friendly technologies available to the rest of PLN.

These two organizations are currently being supported by USAID in the area of supply side efficiency improvement. This program will focus on teaching PLN�s JE and JT what is involved with conducting, and interpreting the results of, plant life assessments; and introducing PLN to US businesses, especially small-to medium-sized businesses, who have expertise in these areas. Implementation of the program will include training materials, site visits, and exchanges.

The participants will learn hands-on techniques used in plant life assessment of the plant materials, including how to sample for those materials to obtain the best possible results from the assessment. This training will be conducted at the USDOE�s Albany Research Center. The ARC has many experts in their field of testing in the area of life assessments and life extension of materials.

Lastly, some life extension and repowering activities do not necessarily target the protection of the environment. There needs to be great care so that PLN is able to obtain the right kinds of goods and services that ultimately help them improve their efficiencies and reduce environmental emissions. This program would help focus on the best options for PLN is terms of economics and the environment.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Expected Results:

The results would eventually include: increasing opportunities for US businesses to compete in the Indonesian power sector, improved capacity of Indonesia power sector to make better decisions with regard to life assessments/extensions and repowering, and protection of the environment.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Relationship to USAEP Country Strategy:

This activity supports the strategy objective of strengthening institutions for environmental protection as well as helping Indonesia through the economic crisis.

Environmental protection: the tour will specifically address life extension/life assessment methods and technologies that reduce overall emissions from power plants by increasing efficiency.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Asian and Regional Partners: PLN�s Jasa Engineering (JE) & Jasa Technik (JT) (new), USAID (sustaining), International Sustainable Development Foundation (part of the PAEC network), NGO based in Portland, Oregon (new) and USDOE Albany (sustaining)

Anticipated Cost Share: Efficiency support to JE/JT is already part of a USAID supported program on supply side efficiency. Support for the entire program is up to 80K of USAID funding. Estimated amount of staff time for DOE (approximately 3K). JE-JT will donate staff time � estimated 1K.
