1. Inter-local government cooperation

Best practices publication :

9 editions books have been released, some of them on sustainable cities.

In partnership among 2 Indonesian cities and 2

Swedish cities, Ministry of Public Work, Ministry

of Environment, SKL International (international

cooperation of Swedish local gov association)

and APEKSI, facilitating exchange and learning

the sustainable city through SymbioCity

approach.

SymbioCity is an approach with integrated

thinking, the way and multi stakeholders

involvement to achieve a sustainable

development

It is relevant approach to Indonesian

municipalities which are have diver characters,

aspect (culture, language, ethnic, etc)

Inter-local government cooperation :

SYMBIOCITY

The one year program has produced the proposal

of Palu and Probolinggo on sustainable city, the

proposals are ready to market to potential

partners (donor agency, government and

private). Probolinggo and Helsingborg has

proposed the further municipal partnership to

ICLD (Swedish International Centre for Local

Democracy), as well as Palu and Borås.

One of the good practice of this program is waste

to energy. Palu and Probolinggo have the

appropriate landfill which are ready to produce

the energy. Palu is ready to launch the Biogas.

Probolinggo has a lot of utilization of waste at the

landfill : composting, reuse for other goods, gas

production for the small scale.

SYMBIOCITY : the Result

The Success factors

Commitment of each partner, especially the main cities

partner (Palu , Borås, Probolinggo and Helsingborg) ,

inline with local needs/program and discussion

mechanism (working group and steering committee).

The challenges

A burden of local program (time management),

coordination/communication both at the local and

among the partners and improve the people

partisipation.

The advice for Indonesian-Swedish cooperation

To work with the Indonesian municipalities : APEKSI (we

as representative of them)

Have to collaborate with Government of Indonesia

(central government)

Should to understand the cycles of working program and

budget period of Indonesian government especially at

the local.

Lesson Learnt : SYMBIOCITY

In cooperation with several institution including GIZ,

Mercy Corps Ind, ICLEI. We had conducted some

training programs among others on clean air,

vulnerability assessment, inventory of emission, etc

We plan to conduct another subjects among others

training on spatial planning (which notice the disaster

risk, climate change aspects), green map, sustainable

transportation, etc.

In cooperation with ICMA (International City/County

Management Association in USA, we conducted

fellowship program for civil servant on climate change

program in 2011. Now in 2014, we are conducting it for

the first cohort and second cohort will be in October

and as well as for the next year .

2. Capacity Building

In cooperation with ICLEI (Local Government for

Sustainable Development), we are running 3 years

projects, Urban LEDS (Low Emission Development

Strategies) and ACCCRN (Asian Cities on Climate

Change Resilient Networks). We facilitate 2 model cities

together with 4 satellite cities for LEDS and 10 model

cities for ACCCRN. The output, they will have the low

emission strategy for sustainable city and city strategy
