UNDP Crisis Prevention and Recovery Programme

Peace through Development Programme

Indonesia’s transition to democracy and decentralization of government authority to the regions is an ongoing process which, despite the speed with which it is being undertaken, has been largely successful to date. However in some provinces in Eastern Indonesia these new challenges have been marked by the sporadic outbreak of violent conflict. Three provinces in particular, North Maluku, Maluku, and Central Sulawesi have experienced major sectarian conflict since 1999 that has had a devastating impact on the well being of the people, their economies and the development process and has challenged both national and regional governments to formulate effective responses.

The UN Common County Assessment (UNCCA) and Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF) for 2002-2005 and UNDP’s Country Cooperation Framework highlighted the importance of conflict prevention, recovery and the linkage between relief and longer-term development as part of the UN’s support to Indonesia. During this period, UNDP, through its Crisis Prevention and Recovery Unit (CPRU), supported three programmes in North Maluku, Maluku and Central Sulawesi:

1. The North Maluku and Maluku Recovery Programme (NMMRP) was launched in September 2001 and has received multi-donor support totaling US$ 15.7 million. This programme is now in its final stages having achieved considerable programme support to post-conflict recovery, reconstruction and reconciliation. Some of the activities are still ongoing and are now managerially supported through PTD.
2. The Kei Islands Peace-building Programme (KIPB) supported post-conflict recovery in the Kei Islands in Maluku with funding of US$ 2.2 million from the Government of the Netherlands.
3. UNDP and the Coordinating Ministry for Welfare and Social Affairs commenced a preparatory assistance project Towards Peaceful Development, Reconciliation and Recovery in Central Sulawesi in 2003 with funding of over US$ 1 million from the Government of the United Kingdom. Besides support to the Malino Accord process, the project supported activities to promote economic opportunities and social cohesion in Poso.

Further input into the design of the strategic framework for UNDP support to development and peace in the provinces of Central Sulawesi, North Maluku and Maluku came from the UNDP/BCPR Conflict-related Development Analysis, which was adapted to the Indonesia context and re-termed Peace and Development Analysis (PDA). The PDA process was undertaken jointly with Bappenas, provincial governments and UNDP from March to October 2004 and identified a number of common themes in each province, and some local particularities, that needed to be addressed. Priority areas that emerged for strategic development support in all three provinces included the need to:

1. Provide effective law enforcement, the rule of law and security
2. Improve good governance in regional governments, local legislative bodies (DPRD), and the justice sector;
3. Improve policy formulation through increased participation of the public and ensure its implementation;
4. Resolve IDPs situations within a framework of building community resilience and social cohesion;
5. Develop the local economy and reduce unemployment through cross-community economic enterprises, skills training, start-up capital, and business opportunities.

One programme that was formed out of the experience from the above initiatives, and which addressed some of the above priority areas was the Peace Through Development Programme (PTD).

Peace through Development Programme:

The Peace Through Development Programme (PTD) provides a framework for UNDP’s continued support of the development process in areas that are still partially under the influence of their recent history with conflict; more particularly in the provinces of Central Sulawesi, North Maluku and Maluku. Two critical, but as yet untested, assumptions in this Programme, are 1) that equitable policies, laws, local regulations (Perda) relating to the broader development process can reduce the likelihood of further outbreaks of conflict, and that 2) specific increased participation of all stakeholders in the development planning process can also potentially reduce the outbreak of new bouts of conflict. As a result the Peace through Development Programme sets out to test these assumptions.
