East Kalimantan
East Kalimantan is Indonesia’s second largest province after Papua and is the largest
revenue sharing fund (RSF) recipient for oil and gas. Its economy depends highly
on extractive industries such as oil, gas, coal and mining. Recently, however, East
Kalimantan’s government has committed to decoupling its economic growth from
extractive industries toward more sustainable sectors, as described in their official
documents such as the Low Carbon Development in East Kalimantan (2011), Green
Growth Compact (2014), proposed Emission Reduction Program Document for
Forest Carbon Partnership Facility Carbon Fund (2018). In addition, East Kalimantan
has proposed for all of its areas to be entitled to performance-based payment from
jurisdictional REDD+program funded by the World Bank (Forest Carbon Partnership
Facility).
East Kalimantan’s climate budget tagging was conducted by the regional planning agency and related government working units. Documents that became the bases
of the budget tagging activities included the Regional Development Plan (RPJMD)
2013–2018 and its regional Environment Strategic Assessment. Three of five mission
statements of the East Kalimantan’s government are marked in the climate budget
tagging process. These are: to promote economic competitiveness based on natural
resources and renewable energy (mission 2); to provide high-quality basic infrastructure for the community (mission 3); and to create better and healthy environmental
framed by a climate change perspective (mission 5).
Based on the policy reviews, there are three important developments as well as
environment issues that are highlighted in both RPJMD and KLHS: (1) pollution
and environmental degradation, (2) infrastructure services and sector’s competitiveness, and (3) social economic and public health issues. These issues were considered as strategic issues that needed to be addressed by the provincial government
by 2018. Looking at correlations among regional planning documents, the abovementioned issues are translated into programs and activities tackled by 11 government
working units: Forestry Office, Environment Office, Tourism Office, Transportation
Office, Fisheries, Plantation office, Agriculture Office, Food Security Office, Livestock Office, Public Works and Settlement Office, and Energy and Mineral Resources
Office.
As Fig. 13.1 illustrates, when those 11 government working units’ budgeting
sheets of East Kalimantan are reviewed referring to the six clusters of preferred
interventions, transportation and regional cities planning cluster received the highest
portion of climate budget between 2015 and 2017. Delving into the quality of
spending in relation to the impact it brings on the climate mitigation effort, Table 13.2
shows the direct (budget composition for employee and institutions’ logistical costs)
and indirect spending (budget composition for activities and investment). It also
shows the ratio of what considered as direct spending on six cluster key interventions
that aim to achieve climate targets of the entire regional budget allocation.
