Challenges during the implementation of the program in the 1st quarter were experienced by the PILI Foundation. in the first quarter considering government policies relating to mitigation of the 19th COVID outbreak. This condition affected the coordination with limited national parks and the budget absorption was not too large in the first quarter.

Unlike the PILI Foundation, Perkumpulan Alert has a different type of program and is located in a national park area so COVID 19 has no effect on the program being run. Monitoring species (rhinos) is carried out by installing camera traps in agreed areas. The challenge faced by the Alert Association is to wait for approval of the Annual Procurement Plan (APP) process by the Chief Technical Assistance (CTA) of GITEC as the SGP ACB Consultant under KfW as a donor in this project. In addition to the limitations of the project planning at the beginning of the submission, the Perkumpulan Alert proposed a budget reallocation so it was necessary to wait for ACB approval in the program implementation in the 2nd and subsequent quarters.

Programme Monitoring Meeting with Grantees of the SGP Indonesia in Way Kambas, East Lampung, Lampung Province.

Yayasan Penabulu sebagai Service Provider melakukan monitoring program SGP Indonesia dengan dua (2) peneirma hibah kecil pada siklus 1 untuk AHP – Taman Nasional Way Kambas. Yayasan Pusat Informasi Lingkungan Hidup Indonesia (PILI) bekerja untuk kawasan Taman Nasional Way Kambas dengan Judul Proyek “ Strengthening The Resort Based Management and Partnership with The Buffer Village for The Mitigation of Wildlife Hunting and Forest Fire in Way Kambas National Park” menjadi bagian pertama dalam monitoring program yang dilakukan oleh SP pada tanggal 21 Juli 2020 di Kantor Proyek Yayasan PILI di Way Kambas, Lampung Timur, Provinsi Lampung.

Dan bersamaan dengan monitoring program Yayasan PILI, SP juga melakukan monitoring program dengan Perkumpulan Alert pada tanggal 22 Juli 2020. Kedua organisasi masyarakat sipil tersebut merupakan penerima hibah kecil SGP Indonesia Siklus 1. Program Perkumpulan Alert bersama SGP Indonesia bertema biodiversity dengan judul proyek “Survey and Monitoring of Sumatran Rhino Population using Camera Traps and Individual Identification Technology” yang berada dalam kawasan Taman Nasional Way Kambas.

Monitoring program bagi penerima hibah kecil SGP Indonesia Siklus 1 dilakukan SP untuk melihat perkembangan program dan tantangan selama pelaksanaan program khususnya pada Kuartal 1. Tantangan selama pelaksanaan program pada kuartal 1 dialami oleh Yayasan PILI adalah terhambatnya kegiatan karena persebaran wabah COVID 19. Beberapa kegiatan dilakukan penyesuaian pada kuartal 1 mengingat kebijakan pemerintah berkaitan dengan mitigasi wabah COVID 19. Kondisi ini berpengaruh pada koordinasi dengan taman nasional yang terbatas dan serapan anggaran yang tidak terlalu besar pada kuartal 1.

Berbeda dengan Yayasan PILI, Perkumpulan Alert memiliki tipe program yang berbeda dan berada dalam kawasan taman nasional sehingga COVID 19 tidak berpengaruh pada program yang dijalankan. Monitoring species (Badak) dilakukan dengan pemasangan camera trap pada wilayah yang telah disepakati. Tantangan yang dihadapi oleh Perkumpulan Alert adalah menunggu persetujuan proses Annual Procurement Plan (APP) oleh Chief Technical Assistance (CTA) dari GITEC sebagai Konsultan SGP ACB dibawah KfW sebagai donor dalam proyek ini. Selain itu dengan keterbatasan perencanaan proyek diawal pengajuan, Perkumpulan Alert mengajukan realokasi anggaran sehingga perlu menunggu persetujuan ACB dalam pelaksanaan program pada kuartal 2 dan kuartal selanjutnya.

Yayasan Penabulu dalam melakukan monotoring program dilakukan oleh Adi Nugroho (Chief Grant Manager) dan Dinnie Indirawati (Administration Officer).
