/ FOREWORD /
Dear readers,
T
his year will be a crucial moment in Indonesian history due to our general election, both Legislative Election
and Presidential Elections. As the third largest democracy country in the world, Indonesia hold elections every
ive years to elect their repsesentatives in parliament both for the central and local governments (province and
district). Then, a few months later, presidential elections will be held and its terms and conditions will refer to
the results of the legislative elections. General election in Indonesia is always a democracy party for the people
where they can use their votes directly with guaranteed independence and privacy. Succesful election process
is an indicator of a country’ democratic stage.
We presented various topics in this edition, such as: the Art of Knowledge Exchange Workshop by World Bank,
8th United Nations for Alliance in Civilitation (UNAOC), Annual South-South Cooperation Meeting, Basic Survey
on Indonesia South-South and Triangular Cooperation (ISSTC) by CSIS and UNDP, Evaluation for Indonesia’
South-South and Triangular Cooperation Programs, etc. We are delighted to present this edition to you.
In this edition, we also discussed the ASEAN Economic Community. This issue has been interesting because
less than a year from now, ASEAN member countries will be implementing “a big family” as ASEAN One Community that comprises of three pillars such as: ASEAN Economic Community, ASEAN Politcal Security Community, and ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community. We are only adressing the ASEAN Economic Community on this
edition and will be taking on the other ASEAN pillars for the next edition. While ASEAN has been creating and
modifying a blueprint on each pillar, there are some matters that should be highlighted and be of concern for
ASEAN member states. The ASEAN Economic Community will establish regional economic integration and is
predicted to increase regional competitiveness.
In South-South and Triangular Cooperation, we raised the issue of annual corrdination meeting as a regular
meeting to strengthen coodination between all stake holders in Indonesia’ South-South and Triangular Cooperation. Diferent and modiied than previous editions, we currently provide some information on Indonesia
Culture and Art. We hope it would be your reference when considering a destination for vacation when visiting
Indonesia.
Finally, I would like to congratulate all of you who are celebrating the Holy month of Ramadhan and Happy Eid
Mubarak 1435 H. God bless you all.
Last but not least, we would like to convey our sincere thanks to all contributors.
Please enjoy this newsletter.

ASEAN ECONOMIC COMMUNITY
Opportunities and
Challenges A Head
O
According to the WTO (World Trade
Organization), ASEAN plus three
has been a destination for 27% of
the global trade. The global trade
worldwide in 2010 period has
reached an amount of 27 trillion US
dollar including approximately 6,24
trillion US dollar accounted for
ASEAN plus three. It means ASEAN has grown as one of the major
trade zones in the global economy.
Based on the ASEAN Economic
Community Blueprint, one direction
of ASEAN One Community is a Single Market and Production Base,
which is consisted of ive pillars: free
low of goods, free low of services,
free low of investment, free low
of inancing, and free low of labor
forces. Comparing each element,
there are three elements that directly inluence public domains: free
low of goods, free low of services
and free low of labor forces. Those
elements will interact with the market and products in every member
country. ASEAN Single Market, the
AEC will create one of the biggest
markets all over the world. ASE-

AN countries’ population amounts
to around 600 million people and
would potentially attract investment.
People in ASEAN member countries will be having various options
in choosing products from many
manufacturers in ASEAN countries.
But on the other hand, ASEAN Single Market will open the gates for
competition widely among ASEAN
member countries` products and
services.
In relation to free low of goods, Indonesia is a very big and potential market due to its population
size and signiicant growth of the
middle class. Indonesian market
will be looded with various kinds of
products with difering quality and
competitive prices. Indonesia’s local products will have to compete
against other products from other
member ASEAN countries. Generally, people will select a product
with superior quality and lower
price. Free low of service will entail
service liberalization. To reduce obstacles in the free trade of services
we need to deal with opening market access and relative government
regulations and procedures to deal
with nationals from the ASEAN
member counties. Those obstacles
that interfere with market access
are restrictions in the amount of
service demand, transaction volume, number of operators, number
of labor, government regulations
and procedures, and restriction on
foreign capital investment. The free
low of skilled labor will open up the
opportunities for migrant workers to
ind jobs overseas, so job competitions between Indonesian workers
with foreign workers from the other
ASEAN countries may occur.
So, the big challenge for the government and all the stakeholders
now is not only to increase the
people’s knowledge and awareness
on the ASEAN Economic Community, but to increase national competitiveness, and more importantly
how to organize and implement it.
The government needs non-state
actors such as academics and the
private sector involvement to socialize it to the public,. Socialization should be efective and sustainable. Not only the methods and
media to be used, but also the contents of socialization should relect
any opportunities and challenges
that we face. Private sector is required to develop their comparative advantages and competitiveness because they will compete
directly against the private sectors
from other member ASEAN countries. The Government should be
working hand in hand with the private sector in the scheme of Public-Private Partnership in terms of
socialization and increasing public
awareness and competitiveness
in both human resources and business communities. In any case, we
must remain optimistic and brave to
turn challenges into opportunities.

nly a year from now, ASEAN
will start implementing the ASEAN
Economic Community as a part
of the three pillars of ASEAN One
Community, consisted of ASEAN
Economic Community (AEC), ASEAN Political Security Community
(APSC), and ASEAN Socio-Cultural
Community (ASCC). Each pillar has
a guideline as a roadmap as how
to achieve ASEAN One Community
that is mentioned in the ASEAN One
Community Blueprint. While ASEAN has been preparing and modifying the blueprint on each pillar, there
are some matters that should be

Nations Alliance of Civilization 2014,
Bali Indonesia
T
olerance-Human being must
respect one other, in all their diversity of belief, culture and language.
Diferences within and between
societies should be neither feared
nor repressed, but cherished as a
precious asset of humanity. A culture of peace and dialogue among
all civilizations should be actively
promoted. It is one of the six values stipulated in the United Nations
Millennium Declaration adopted by
the 189 World Leaders during the
Millennium Summit fourteenth years
ago.
Five years after the declaration
in 2005 former United Nations
Secretary General, Koi Anan
co-sponsored by the Prime Ministers of Spain and Turkey launched
a new institution called Alliance of
Civilizations (AOC), dedicated to
defusing crises that arise at the intersection of religion and politics
and furthermore to understand the
divide between cultures and society
and to form programs to address
the issue by encouraging “Harmony
among Civilizations”.
These works and initiative are
supported by 114 states and 25
International organizations known
as Group of Friends. The Alliance
works mainly in four priority areas
to which it brings a multi disciplinary
and multi-perspective approach:
Education, Media, Migration and
Media.

The Art of Knowledge Exchange Workshop and Training
sponsored by the World Bank Institute
The basic principle of knowledge
exchange is that, there are some
amount of knowledge gap between
‘what we are’ now and ‘where we
want to be’. After a certain knowledge exchange activity has been
done, this knowledge gap can be
overcome with ive activities including Anchor, Deine, Design, Implement, and Results. Anchor can be
separated into three key points, 1)
identify the development gap; 2)
Deine the institutional challenges;
and 3) Determine the change objective. These actions are mainly
to deine what the organizational
needs are, what the organization’s
strength are and weaknesses, and
what the main objectives for the organization to achieve are in order to
succeed.
Deine includes activities such as:
1) Identifying participant` proiles;
2)determine what to achieve in the
medium term; and 3) identifying the
knowledge providers. After Anchoring, the Deining can be concluded
as activities related to identifying
organizational proiles, what these
participants to get in the near future,
and who the providers delivering
such needs are. This step is the
main step on looking at the organizational needs, the people related
to these needs, and to bridge these
people with kind of knowledge exchange activities needed to enhance their capacity.
Understanding organizational needs
and who the participants are, the
third step can be conducted. This
step, Design, is where the planning
of the knowledge activity start with.
This step comprises of activities,
such as: 1) Select the participants;
2) Organize the design and delivery team; 3) Develop a timeline for
the initiative and propose concrete

(1-2/04/2014) on the Art of
Knowledge Exchange. This was a
two day workshop to enhance the
knowledge of the participants on
how to organize knowledge exchange activities, such as trainings, workshops, class dynamics, and many more. The focus
of the workshop was on how
to generate knowledge exchange

interventions (instruments); 4) Create agendas for speciic activities;
5) Prepare the contents. Selecting
participants need to put forward
some considerations, such as what
type of capacity the person have,
where they are working, and what
can they do after the knowledge
exchange has ended. One suggestion from the World Bank (2013) is
‘Putting people with diverse backgrounds and perspectives together can result in a powerful learning
experience as well as inspire networks that continue long after the
knowledge exchange initiative has
ended’. Furthermore, some instruments may be combined are conference, expert visit, knowledge fair,
study tour, workshop, competition,
8
knowledge jam, multi-stakeholder
dialogue, community of practice
and twinning.
The next step is the Implementing
step. The basic principle throughout
the knowledge exchange program
is that ‘the learners’ are actually
‘the teachers’. These participants
with diverse backgrounds share
their knowledge with one another to
get insights or ideas in order to enhance their capacities. Therefore the
trainer should become a facilitator,
rather than a teacher. This part will
include activities such as: 1) Guiding
the participants along the learning journey; 2) Coordinate engagement between participants; and 3)
Systematically document imple-
mentation and track result. The ifth
step on arranging a knowledge exchange activity is Results. This part
is mainly related to the evaluation of
the activities which have been implemented. This can be arranged
by following activities: 1) Synthesize
implementation data; 2) Measure
efectiveness across expected and
unexpected results; and 3) Report.
However, the cycle of knowledge
exchange would not inish this moment. This step would not be the last
step towards better implementation
of knowledge exchange activity. A
continuous cycle of knowledge exchange management is needed to
ensure better activities in the future.

1. Indonesia plays an important role
for regional stability as well as on
the international stage. As an active member of the G20, the Global
Partnership for Efective Development Cooperation (GPEDC) and
the UNSG High-Level Panel on the
global development framework, the
country has taken responsibility for
shaping global policies. As Germany
and Indonesia are both engaging in
global fora and have a long standing
development partnership, there are
areas where both countries could
join forces and deine common interests. Through a network of global
development partners responsibilities and knowledge could be shared
between the partners.
2. Indonesia has a long tradition of
South-South Cooperation and is
now in the process of reforming the
government structures and procedures for South-South and Triangular Cooperation (SSTC). The comprehensive draft “Grand Design”
illustrates the future of Indonesia’s
cooperation with all parties who
contribute and participate in development activities. The draft “Blue
print for Indonesia’s South-South
Cooperation 2011-2014” has speciied the tasks for legal reform, the
strengthening of institutional coordination as well as planned improvements of the implementation, monitoring and inancing procedures.
3. In order to improve the coordination
and to develop binding standards
for all implementing institutions, a
National Coordination Team (NCT)
has been established between the
Ministry of National Development
Planning (Kementerian Perencanaan
Pembangunan
Nasional/BAPPENAS), the Ministry of Finance (Kementerian Keuangan) and the Ministry of Foreign Afairs (Kementerian
Luar Negeri, Kemlu) and the Ministry
of State Secretariat (Kementerian
Sekretariat Negara, Setneg). Standard operating procedures for program formulation, implementation,
and monitoring & evaluation have
been drafted and are currently being
reviewed.
4. Since there is no legal framework
(e.g. Presidential Decree) for a
SSTC-coordination body, eicient
coordination between the responsible ministries and other Indonesian
institutions which inance, plan and
implement development cooperation projects, will remain a challenge.
So far the applications and the decision making for projects with other
countries are handled individually
by each institution. As a result the
government has no overview of its
commitments and total spending on
development cooperation. It is also
diicult to evaluate the impact of
South-South Cooperation. Thus, regional and global development partners face challenges in harmonizing
their long term development activities with Indonesia and to engage in
fruitful triangular cooperation.
RECOMMENDATIONS
5. The program entitled “South-South
and Triangular Cooperation and
Networks for Global Governance”
is envisaged to have a duration of
2.5 years, starting from the second
semester of 2014. The German side
will fund 1.8 million EUR. Based on
the above results, the mission developed the following recommendations and main areas of intervention.
6. The outcome of this Indonesian-German project is expected
to be: “The institutions which are in
charge of international development
cooperation are strengthened to effectively fulill their role as a regional
and global development partner.”
The program will consist of three
components:
1. Strengthening
Capacities:
The output of this component
is envisaged to be: “The NCT
and its members are enabled to
assume their role in coordination
and planning of South-South
and Triangular Cooperation
projects”. The main focus of this
component will be on capacity
development for the NCT and its
members.
2. Triangular cooperation projects: The output of this component is envisaged to be:
“Indonesian line ministries are
enabled to formulate sustainable project designs for sustainable triangular cooperation
projects together with partner
countries and other development partner”. The main focus
of this component will be on the
joint planning and implementation of three triangular projects.
In the triangular cooperation
projects, Indonesian and German institutions will collaborate
on planning, funding, implementation and evaluation. The irst
triangular cooperation project
will build on the experiences of
the on-going triangular cooperation among Indonesia, Myanmar and Germany for technical
and vocational training (TVET).
Some triangular cooperation
projects (e.g. development of
inancial systems, prevention
and repression of corruption, re-
3. Networks for Global Governance: The output of this
component is envisaged to be:
“A dialogue process on a jointly
agreed topic (e.g. climate, environment, sustainable economic
development, global development agendas) has been established between institutions
from state, private sector and
civil society from Indonesia,
Germany and possibly other
countries.” The focus of this
component will be the work on
strategic concepts for joint work
on the implementation of global
agendas. The project supports
Indonesia initiative to become a
knowledge hub for SSTC. This
component will be linked to the
practical work of the ministries
that constitute the NCT. This
component will also engage researchers in the elaboration of
strategic perspectives.
4. Depending on needs identiied in the framework of the
“South-South and Triangular
Cooperation and Networks for
Global Governance” program,
additional funds of up to 1.0 million EUR can be utilized from the
Indonesia-Germany Study and
Expert Fund (SFF) to enhance
cooperation in this area as stipulated in the summary record
of the negotiations on development cooperation between the
Government of the Republic of
Indonesia and the Government
of the Federal Republic of Germany (14thNovember, 2013).
The utilization of these additional
funds for SSTC & NGG has not
been appraised by this mission.
A separate project document
can be prepared for SFF funding when the need for additional
funds has been identiied.
5. The new program will have linkages with other programs. The
German “Program for Global
Partnerships, PGP” with it components “Managing Global Governance, MGG”and the “Global
Dialogue of Agencies and Ministries for International Cooperation and Development” works
on similar issues and has BAPPENAS as the partner in Indonesia. The appraisal mission has
held meetings with JICA and
USAID who have committed on
strengthening the capacities of
the NCT.
6. Project design: Both parties recommend to assign personnel to
the new program. The appraisal
mission proposes to staf the
project with a seconded project
manager/advisor, a research assistant and a project assistant.
Outside of this program it has
been agreed that two integrated
experts from Germany will be
assigned at BAPPENAS to work
for BAPPENAS and NCT.
7. The program on South-South
and Triangular Cooperation
and Networks for Global Governance is part of the Indonesian-German priority area “Good
Governance and Global Networks”. The program will report
to BAPPENAS. The selection
of triangular cooperation projects will be handled by the NCT
based on requests from Myanmar. Joint missions for appraisal
and monitoring will be conducted with NCT members and
other respective line ministries.
The implementation agreement
for this program will be signed
with BAPPENAS. Separate implementation agreements for
triangular cooperation projects
could be signed with the related
line ministries and BAPPENAS.
DECLARATION
8. The parties signing here under
declare herewith that they agree
with the summarized indings
and recommendations. This
summary report shall serve the
Deutsche Gesellschaft fur Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ)
GmbH as a basis for preparing a proposal for the Program
“South-South and Triangular
Cooperation and Networks for
Global Governance” for consideration by the German Federal
Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (Bundesministerium far wirtschaftliche
Zusammenarbeit and EntAricklung, BMZ).
9. These Minutes of Meeting do
not represent a formal program
agreement, but rather relect
the assessment of the appraisal mission and the results of the
workshop discussion. They are
not binding on either party to the
extent that formal approval is
subject to agreement by the Indonesian authorities concerned
and by BMZ.

Dear readers,
T
his year will be a crucial moment in Indonesian history due to our general election, both Legislative Election
and Presidential Elections. As the third largest democracy country in the world, Indonesia hold elections every
ive years to elect their repsesentatives in parliament both for the central and local governments (province and
district). Then, a few months later, presidential elections will be held and its terms and conditions will refer to
the results of the legislative elections. General election in Indonesia is always a democracy party for the people
where they can use their votes directly with guaranteed independence and privacy. Succesful election process
is an indicator of a country’ democratic stage.
We presented various topics in this edition, such as: the Art of Knowledge Exchange Workshop by World Bank,
8th United Nations for Alliance in Civilitation (UNAOC), Annual South-South Cooperation Meeting, Basic Survey
on Indonesia South-South and Triangular Cooperation (ISSTC) by CSIS and UNDP, Evaluation for Indonesia’
South-South and Triangular Cooperation Programs, etc. We are delighted to present this edition to you.
In this edition, we also discussed the ASEAN Economic Community. This issue has been interesting because
less than a year from now, ASEAN member countries will be implementing “a big family” as ASEAN One Community that comprises of three pillars such as: ASEAN Economic Community, ASEAN Politcal Security Community, and ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community. We are only adressing the ASEAN Economic Community on this
edition and will be taking on the other ASEAN pillars for the next edition. While ASEAN has been creating and
modifying a blueprint on each pillar, there are some matters that should be highlighted and be of concern for
ASEAN member states. The ASEAN Economic Community will establish regional economic integration and is
predicted to increase regional competitiveness.
In South-South and Triangular Cooperation, we raised the issue of annual corrdination meeting as a regular
meeting to strengthen coodination between all stake holders in Indonesia’ South-South and Triangular Cooperation. Diferent and modiied than previous editions, we currently provide some information on Indonesia
Culture and Art. We hope it would be your reference when considering a destination for vacation when visiting
Indonesia.
Finally, I would like to congratulate all of you who are celebrating the Holy month of Ramadhan and Happy Eid
Mubarak 1435 H. God bless you all.
Last but not least, we would like to convey our sincere thanks to all contributors.

ASEAN ECONOMIC COMMUNITY

O
According to the WTO (World Trade
Organization), ASEAN plus three
has been a destination for 27% of
the global trade. The global trade
worldwide in 2010 period has
reached an amount of 27 trillion US
dollar including approximately 6,24
trillion US dollar accounted for
ASEAN plus three. It means ASEAN has grown as one of the major
trade zones in the global economy.
Based on the ASEAN Economic
Community Blueprint, one direction
of ASEAN One Community is a Single Market and Production Base,
which is consisted of ive pillars: free
low of goods, free low of services,
free low of investment, free low
of inancing, and free low of labor
forces. Comparing each element,
there are three elements that directly inluence public domains: free
low of goods, free low of services
and free low of labor forces. Those
elements will interact with the market and products in every member
country. ASEAN Single Market, the
AEC will create one of the biggest
markets all over the world. ASE-

AN countries’ population amounts
to around 600 million people and
would potentially attract investment.
People in ASEAN member countries will be having various options
in choosing products from many
manufacturers in ASEAN countries.
But on the other hand, ASEAN Single Market will open the gates for
competition widely among ASEAN
member countries` products and
services.
In relation to free low of goods, Indonesia is a very big and potential market due to its population
size and signiicant growth of the
middle class. Indonesian market
will be looded with various kinds of
products with difering quality and
competitive prices. Indonesia’s local products will have to compete
against other products from other
member ASEAN countries. Generally, people will select a product
with superior quality and lower
price. Free low of service will entail
service liberalization. To reduce obstacles in the free trade of services
we need to deal with opening market access and relative government
regulations and procedures to deal
with nationals from the ASEAN
member counties. Those obstacles
that interfere with market access
are restrictions in the amount of
service demand, transaction volume, number of operators, number
of labor, government regulations
and procedures, and restriction on
foreign capital investment. The free
low of skilled labor will open up the
opportunities for migrant workers to
ind jobs overseas, so job competitions between Indonesian workers
with foreign workers from the other
ASEAN countries may occur.
So, the big challenge for the government and all the stakeholders
now is not only to increase the
people’s knowledge and awareness
on the ASEAN Economic Community, but to increase national competitiveness, and more importantly
how to organize and implement it.
The government needs non-state
actors such as academics and the
private sector involvement to socialize it to the public,. Socialization should be efective and sustainable. Not only the methods and
media to be used, but also the contents of socialization should relect
any opportunities and challenges
that we face. Private sector is required to develop their comparative advantages and competitiveness because they will compete
directly against the private sectors
from other member ASEAN countries. The Government should be
working hand in hand with the private sector in the scheme of Public-Private Partnership in terms of
socialization and increasing public
awareness and competitiveness
in both human resources and business communities. In any case, we
must remain optimistic and brave to
turn challenges into opportunities.

The Art of Knowledge Exchange Workshop and Training
sponsored by the World Bank Institute
The basic principle of knowledge
exchange is that, there are some
amount of knowledge gap between
‘what we are’ now and ‘where we
want to be’. After a certain knowledge exchange activity has been
done, this knowledge gap can be
overcome with ive activities including Anchor, Deine, Design, Implement, and Results. Anchor can be
separated into three key points, 1)
identify the development gap; 2)
Deine the institutional challenges;
and 3) Determine the change objective. These actions are mainly
to deine what the organizational
needs are, what the organization’s
strength are and weaknesses, and
what the main objectives for the organization to achieve are in order to
succeed.
Deine includes activities such as:
1) Identifying participant` proiles;
2)determine what to achieve in the
medium term; and 3) identifying the
knowledge providers. After Anchoring, the Deining can be concluded
as activities related to identifying
organizational proiles, what these
participants to get in the near future,
and who the providers delivering
such needs are. This step is the
main step on looking at the organizational needs, the people related
to these needs, and to bridge these
people with kind of knowledge exchange activities needed to enhance their capacity.
Understanding organizational needs
and who the participants are, the
third step can be conducted. This
step, Design, is where the planning
of the knowledge activity start with.
This step comprises of activities,
such as: 1) Select the participants;
2) Organize the design and delivery team; 3) Develop a timeline for

two day workshop to enhance the

5) Prepare the contents. Selecting
participants need to put forward
some considerations, such as what
type of capacity the person have,
where they are working, and what
can they do after the knowledge
exchange has ended. One suggestion from the World Bank (2013) is
‘Putting people with diverse backgrounds and perspectives together can result in a powerful learning
experience as well as inspire networks that continue long after the
knowledge exchange initiative has
ended’. Furthermore, some instruments may be combined are conference, expert visit, knowledge fair,
study tour, workshop, competition,
8
knowledge jam, multi-stakeholder
dialogue, community of practice
and twinning.
The next step is the Implementing
step. The basic principle throughout
the knowledge exchange program
is that ‘the learners’ are actually
‘the teachers’. These participants
with diverse backgrounds share
their knowledge with one another to
get insights or ideas in order to enhance their capacities. Therefore the
trainer should become a facilitator,
rather than a teacher. This part will
include activities such as: 1) Guiding
the participants along the learning journey; 2) Coordinate engagement between participants; and 3)
Systematically document imple-
mentation and track result. The ifth
step on arranging a knowledge exchange activity is Results. This part
is mainly related to the evaluation of
the activities which have been implemented. This can be arranged
by following activities: 1) Synthesize
implementation data; 2) Measure
efectiveness across expected and
unexpected results; and 3) Report.
However, the cycle of knowledge
exchange would not inish this moment. This step would not be the last
step towards better implementation
of knowledge exchange activity. A
continuous cycle of knowledge exchange management is needed to
ensure better activities in the future.

SOUTH-SOUTH AND TRILATERAL
COOPERATION AND NETWORKS
FOR GLOBAL GOVERNANCE

rom 27th of January to 6th of February 2014, a delegation of GIZ conducted a project appraisal on SouthSouth and Trilateral Cooperation to Indonesia. The
delegation consisted of Mr. Colin Gleichman (GIZ Head
of appraisal mission), Ms. Julia Langendorf (GIZ Bangkok), Ms. Stefanie Rauscher (GIZ Sector Specialist),and
Ms. Imelda Maidir as consultant.
The mission`s objective is to formulate a project
proposal on South-South and Trilateral cooperation and
Networks for Global Governance that has been agreed
in the Indonesia–German Government negotiations on
14th November 2013 in Jakarta. The priority area will be
“Good Governance and Global Networks”. During the
stay, the delegation made a courtesy call to the oicials
of National Coordination Team for South-South and
Triangular Cooperation (NCT-SSTC) such as National
Development Planning Agency/Bappenas, the Ministry
of State Secretariat as well as the Ministry of Foreign
Afairs.
Main recommendation of the mission was the project
will have duration of 2.5 years, starting in the second
semester of 2014. The Government of Germany shall
fund 1.8 million Euro covering three components:
•
Strengthening Capacities; Focuson the capacity development of NCT Secretariat and Staf
from the ministries that are NCT members for
strengthening the role in coordination and planning of south-south and Trilateral Cooperation
Projects.
•
Trilateral Cooperation Projects; Focus on
the joint planning and implementation of trilateral projects. Indonesia and German institutions
will collaborate in planning, funding, implementation and evaluation. The collaboration projects
in the ields of technical and vocational training
(TVET), capital market development, prevention
and repression of corruption, regional economic
development, and decentralization) and the priority countries are in South East Asia.
•
Network for Global Governance; the focus
of this component will be the work on strategic
concepts for joint work on the implementation
of such global agendas as climate environment,
sustainable economic development, and other
global development agenda
Finally, the delegation has summarized the indings
and recommendation described in the Minute of

MINUTES OF MEETING
ON THE APPRAISAL OF THE INDONESIAN-GERMAN PROGRAM
“SOUTH-SOUTH AND TRIANGULAR COOPERATION AND NETWORKS FOR
GLOBAL GOVERNANCE”
BACKGROUND
1. This memorandum provides a summary of the indings and recommendations of the GIZ project appraisal
mission on ‘South-South and Triangular Cooperation and Networks for
Global Governance’. The appraisal
mission took place in Jakarta from
27th of January to 6th of February
2014 and was conducted by Colin
Gleichmann (GIZ head of appraisal mission), Julia Langendorf (GIZ
Bangkok), Imelda Maidir (consultant)
and Stefanie Rauscher (GIZ sector
specialist, headquarters).
2. The mission pursued the objective
of formulating a project proposal for
the new project on ‘South-South
and Triangular Cooperation and
Networks for Global Governance’
that has been agreed in the Indonesian-German Government to Government negotiations on 14th November 2013 in Jakarta. This new
project will be part of the priority
area ‘Good Governance and Global
Networks’.
3. For this purpose the appraisal mission has held several interviews and
discussions with all stakeholders
and analyzed various policy documents. The mission appreciates very
much the warm and friendly atmosphere as well as the openness of
discussions.
NEWSLETTER I/2014
RESULTS
10
1. Indonesia plays an important role
for regional stability as well as on
the international stage. As an active member of the G20, the Global
Partnership for Efective Development Cooperation (GPEDC) and
the UNSG High-Level Panel on the
global development framework, the
country has taken responsibility for
shaping global policies. As Germany
and Indonesia are both engaging in
global fora and have a long standing
development partnership, there are
areas where both countries could
join forces and deine common interests. Through a network of global
development partners responsibilities and knowledge could be shared
between the partners.
2. Indonesia has a long tradition of
South-South Cooperation and is
now in the process of reforming the
government structures and procedures for South-South and Triangular Cooperation (SSTC). The comprehensive draft “Grand Design”
illustrates the future of Indonesia’s
cooperation with all parties who
contribute and participate in development activities. The draft “Blue
print for Indonesia’s South-South
Cooperation 2011-2014” has speciied the tasks for legal reform, the
strengthening of institutional coordination as well as planned improvements of the implementation, monitoring and inancing procedures.
3. In order to improve the coordination
and to develop binding standards
for all implementing institutions, a
National Coordination Team (NCT)
has been established between the
Ministry of National Development
Planning (Kementerian Perencanaan
Pembangunan
Nasional/BAPPENAS), the Ministry of Finance (Kementerian Keuangan) and the Ministry of Foreign Afairs (Kementerian
Luar Negeri, Kemlu) and the Ministry
of State Secretariat (Kementerian
Sekretariat Negara, Setneg). Standard operating procedures for program formulation, implementation,
and monitoring & evaluation have
been drafted and are currently being
reviewed.
4. Since there is no legal framework
(e.g. Presidential Decree) for a
SSTC-coordination body, eicient
coordination between the responsible ministries and other Indonesian
institutions which inance, plan and
implement development cooperation projects, will remain a challenge.
So far the applications and the decision making for projects with other
countries are handled individually
by each institution. As a result the
government has no overview of its
commitments and total spending on
development cooperation. It is also
diicult to evaluate the impact of
South-South Cooperation. Thus, regional and global development partners face challenges in harmonizing
their long term development activities with Indonesia and to engage in
fruitful triangular cooperation.
RECOMMENDATIONS
5. The program entitled “South-South
and Triangular Cooperation and
Networks for Global Governance”
is envisaged to have a duration of
2.5 years, starting from the second
semester of 2014. The German side
will fund 1.8 million EUR. Based on
the above results, the mission developed the following recommendations and main areas of intervention.
6. The outcome of this Indonesian-German project is expected
to be: “The institutions which are in
charge of international development
cooperation are strengthened to effectively fulill their role as a regional
and global development partner.”
The program will consist of three
components:
1. Strengthening
Capacities:
The output of this component
is envisaged to be: “The NCT
and its members are enabled to
assume their role in coordination
and planning of South-South
and Triangular Cooperation
projects”. The main focus of this
component will be on capacity
development for the NCT and its
members.
2. Triangular cooperation projects: The output of this component is envisaged to be:
“Indonesian line ministries are
enabled to formulate sustainable project designs for sustainable triangular cooperation
projects together with partner
countries and other development partner”. The main focus
of this component will be on the
joint planning and implementation of three triangular projects.
In the triangular cooperation
projects, Indonesian and German institutions will collaborate
on planning, funding, implementation and evaluation. The irst
triangular cooperation project
will build on the experiences of
the on-going triangular cooperation among Indonesia, Myanmar and Germany for technical
and vocational training (TVET).
Some triangular cooperation
projects (e.g. development of
inancial systems, prevention
and repression of corruption, re-
3. Networks for Global Governance: The output of this
component is envisaged to be:
“A dialogue process on a jointly
agreed topic (e.g. climate, environment, sustainable economic
development, global development agendas) has been established between institutions
from state, private sector and
civil society from Indonesia,
Germany and possibly other
countries.” The focus of this
component will be the work on
strategic concepts for joint work
on the implementation of global
agendas. The project supports
Indonesia initiative to become a
knowledge hub for SSTC. This
component will be linked to the
practical work of the ministries
that constitute the NCT. This
component will also engage researchers in the elaboration of
strategic perspectives.
4. Depending on needs identiied in the framework of the
“South-South and Triangular
Cooperation and Networks for
Global Governance” program,
additional funds of up to 1.0 million EUR can be utilized from the
Indonesia-Germany Study and
Expert Fund (SFF) to enhance
cooperation in this area as stipulated in the summary record
of the negotiations on development cooperation between the
Government of the Republic of
Indonesia and the Government
of the Federal Republic of Germany (14thNovember, 2013).
The utilization of these additional
funds for SSTC & NGG has not
been appraised by this mission.
A separate project document
can be prepared for SFF funding when the need for additional
funds has been identiied.
5. The new program will have linkages with other programs. The
German “Program for Global
Partnerships, PGP” with it components “Managing Global Governance, MGG”and the “Global
Dialogue of Agencies and Ministries for International Cooperation and Development” works
on similar issues and has BAPPENAS as the partner in Indonesia. The appraisal mission has
held meetings with JICA and
USAID who have committed on
strengthening the capacities of
the NCT.
6. Project design: Both parties recommend to assign personnel to
the new program. The appraisal
mission proposes to staf the
project with a seconded project
manager/advisor, a research assistant and a project assistant.
Outside of this program it has
been agreed that two integrated
experts from Germany will be
assigned at BAPPENAS to work
for BAPPENAS and NCT.
7. The program on South-South
and Triangular Cooperation
and Networks for Global Governance is part of the Indonesian-German priority area “Good
Governance and Global Networks”. The program will report
to BAPPENAS. The selection
of triangular cooperation projects will be handled by the NCT
based on requests from Myanmar. Joint missions for appraisal
and monitoring will be conducted with NCT members and
other respective line ministries.
The implementation agreement
for this program will be signed
with BAPPENAS. Separate implementation agreements for
triangular cooperation projects
could be signed with the related
line ministries and BAPPENAS.
DECLARATION
8. The parties signing here under
declare herewith that they agree
with the summarized indings
and recommendations. This
summary report shall serve the
Deutsche Gesellschaft fur Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ)
GmbH as a basis for preparing a proposal for the Program
“South-South and Triangular
Cooperation and Networks for
Global Governance” for consideration by the German Federal
Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (Bundesministerium far wirtschaftliche
Zusammenarbeit and EntAricklung, BMZ).
9. These Minutes of Meeting do
not represent a formal program
agreement, but rather relect
the assessment of the appraisal mission and the results of the
workshop discussion. They are
not binding on either party to the
extent that formal approval is
subject to agreement by the Indonesian authorities concerned
and by BMZ.
