In the beginning of 1st phase of the project, JCC (Joint Coordination Committee) Meeting and Workshop on Inception Report were held on December 14th, 2010 in Hotel Kartika Chandra, Jakarta. In the JCC Meeting, all the members of the coordination team were asked to give directions or their policies concerning the Inception Report. The coordination team consists of all Heads from relevant Institutions that become counterpart in the project, and chaired by the Dr. Moch. Amron, Director General of Water Resources. Dr,Moch. Amron mentioned “In this project there are 30 members ofcounterparts from various sectors, both from the central and provincial governments. The unity of the counterparts is very important to this project. Cooperation and coordination among these counterparts areexpected to bring in development of their respective institutions, so that the concepts of comprehensive flood management can be implemented successfully”, “We have four flood related projects in Greater Jakarta and the collaboration between these projects, JICA, Dutch Government, Work Bank (IBRD) and Asian Development Bank (ADB) can be performed properly and effectively.”

Meanwhile, Ir.Pitoyo Subandrio, Director of River and Coast, mentioned that one of the outputs of this project is to formulate the Comprehensive Flood Management Plan (CFMP) and Comprehensive Flood Management Action Plan. Ir.Pitoyo expected that the counterparts should participate and contribute to this project as close partners to produce fruitful results.

The following are the presentations delivered in the JCC Meeting: 1. “Explanation of Inception Report” by Takaya TANAKA, JICA Chief

Advisor

� The key points of CFMP are:

1) All countermeasures are comprehensively formulated in the 1

plan.

2) Especially for river improvement measures and spatial

planning, they are well coordinated.

� The CFMP is a run-off allocation plan between on-stream and off-

stream. It means we should determine how much we retain the

rain in the city, and how much in river channel.

� For the off-stream allocation, we must regulate land-development

in spatial planning and construct retention pond or infiltration

facilities. For the on-stream allocation, we must make river

improvement and retarding basin.

2. “Activity Plan and Schedule” by Tamotsu SHINGU, Project Team

Leader

� The Project period is 3years and the project outputs are

1) Roles of organizations related to CFM are clarified.

“The unity of 30 counterparts is very

important for this project.”

Plan (CFMAP) of all related organizations is formulated, and

legalization process of the CFM approach for urban flood

management has been started.

through OJT in order to give the C/Ps the capacity to autonomously

formulate and implement the CFMP.
