Executive Summary
This report provides a rapid district readiness assessment (RDRA) of the capacity, commitment, and
investment opportunities of Kampar District, Riau, to support environmentally sustainable and low-
carbon economic growth through the MCA-Indonesia Green Prosperity Program (GPP). This
assessment included a field visit from December 7 to 10, 2016. The objectives of this rapid
assessment were to assess the level of readiness of Kampar District for GPP activities, and
specifically examined: political conditions, institutional capacity, regulatory frameworks, social and
gender analysis, and required conditions under the Millennium Challenge Compact. Additionally, the
Rapid DRA assesses readiness for Participatory Land Use Planning (PLUP) and overview of the
renewable energy sector. The result of this assessment is used as a prerequisite for signing an MoU
with MCA-Indonesia.
Kampar District was formed 67 years ago through Law No. 12/1956, with Bangkinang City as its
capital where the government offices are located. Based on land cover area (Bureau of Statistics
2013) total area of Kampar District is 1,078,775 ha. Approximately 71% of the district is a national
forest area, and only 13% of its total area is defined as a protected forest. Kampar District is located
60 km southwest of Pekanbaru, the capital of Riau Province, with good road access.
Based on land cover area (2013), approximately 71% of the district is a national forest area. Limited
production forest HPT covers 226,181 ha, or 21% of district area; permanent production forest
covers 110,950 ha, or 10% of district area; while the remaining 13% consists of protected forest.
Kampar has two seasons (dry and wet), with average days of rain ranging from 2 to 17 days per year.
In 2014, precipitation ranged from 1 to 969 mm/month (average of 32 mm to 491 mm per month).
The highest rainfall is observed in November and reaches 969 mm in Koto Kampar Hulu Sub-district.
Population of Kampar is 773,171 people with a male-female ratio of 105:100. The population grew
by 2.8% between 2012 and 2014. Interviews with Women Empowerment and Family Planning
Office (BKBPP) Kampar District confirmed, Kampar District so far does not have an ongoing gender
mainstreaming program, nor a regulatory framework on promoting women empowerment and child
protection. Form 250 villages in Kampar, one village (Terantang Village) has a woman appointed as
the village head. Approximately 10% of the members of the legislative (DPRD) are women, and 20%
of government officers are women. The district’s medium-term development plan 2011–2016
(RPJMD) did not specifically address the issue of gender mainstreaming. Among 31 existing
government programs and 25 new programs, there are no explicit gender-sensitive programs. This
suggests that the district of Kampar has limited commitment to gender mainstreaming, or to women
empowerment
Gross domestic product (GDP) growth in Kampar District from 2012 to 2014 increased by 7.4%.
Based on a constant price set in 2012, GDP in Kampar increased from IDR 5.4 trillion in 2012, IDR
5.8 trillion in 2013, to IDR 6.2 trillion in 2014. Kampar District relies on mining and quarrying,
followed by agriculture, forestry, and fisheries as the main sources of revenue. With the decline of
mining revenue, due to the decreasing price of coal, GDP growth in the near future is expected to
decrease.
Kampar District has opened its policies to the public in relation to licensing procedures, following
the establishment in 2015 of an integrated one-stop licensing service, officially referred to as
Integrated Licensing Service Agency and Investment (BPPTPM) Kampar District. However, based on
interviews with BPPTPM, the office only became fully operational in April 2016.
Executive Summary
v
Kampar has adequate commitment to low-emission economic development, by setting a strategic
action plan for developing natural resources management, and issued many district regulations
(Perda) related to environment. The Head of District also introduced a program called:
Independent/Sufficient Food and Energy Household (RTMPE). The program aims to intensify the
use of cow manure for Biogas and Bioenergy. Although government shows good commitment
through its program, overall, local government incentives for green investment and renewable
energy are limited. For example, with 37 palm-oil factories across the district, only two palm-oil
companies are interested in investing in producing POME/biogas. There are some donors, like
USAID/ICED, Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA), and PT Perkebunan Nusantara,
interested in investing in renewable energy development. However, their investment is still limited.
From interviews with district agencies, there is large potential for land use conflict in the district.
This was also confirmed in LAKIP 2013. Contributing factors include a lack of discipline in applying
the spatial plan, for example, in releasing forest area for palm oil plantations. As well, unclear
definitive village and district boundaries cause conflicts between rural residents and inter-districts.
Thirdly, land conflicts are also fueled by the increasing migration of people from other areas, causing
an increasing need for plantation land. With vast palm-oil plantations across the district, slash-and-
burn practices are still common for land clearing, which makes Kampar well-known as a forest-fire
prone area. With degrading forest cover areas, Kampar becomes vulnerable to floods and landslides,
as noted in the Sanitation White book 2014. Regarding environmental issues, many District
regulations have been enacted. The RPJM, RPJP, LAKIP, and Sanitation White Book have also put
“sustainable development” as a key goal. Those commitments provide an enabling environment for
MCA Indonesia before signing the MOU with the District Head.
Despite the challenges, Kampar Distrct has an enabling environment for Green Prosperity
intervention, such as: Kampar has enacted many District Regulations related to the environment;
Kampar has also enacted a district regulation on spatial plan (Perda) No. 11/1999 and has a draft
spatial plan (RTRW) for 2010-2030; Kampar is committed to preserving the customary people from
development impacts, and has even implemented District Regulation No. 12/1999 on Communal
Land Rights; Kampar government has a high commitment to renewable energy by introducing the
“Sufficient Food and Energy Household program” (Rumah Tangga Mandiri Pangan dan Energi or
RTMPE); and, the district has an electronic data center in the form of a website and has established
Integrated Licensing Service Agency and Investment (BPPTPM) Office that indicates a commitment
to information openness.
Kampar scored 48 out of the possible maximum 66 points. This is a moderate score (73%) and
indicates some degree of commitment and readiness of Kampar to receive GPP investment. Aspects
that received a minimum score of 1 were found in the criteria of: non-government actors affecting
district development, analysis on the existing conditions related to four tasks in Participatory
Mapping and Planning (PMaP) and specific recommendations, PES (payment for environmental
services), and Status of gender mainstreaming in the district.

Section 1 Introduction
1.1 Background MCA-Indonesia, under the Green Prosperity Project (GPP), has selected four districts to be assessed
using Rapid District Readiness Assessments (DRA) for subsequent project implementation. Prior to
proceeding with the GPP, selected districts must be assessed to determine which districts have the
greatest readiness to host GPP activities, based on criteria set by MCA-Indonesia that include
appropriate capacity, commitment, and investment opportunities to support environmentally
sustainable and low-carbon economic growth. DRAs are intended to ensure that targeted districts
can effectively support GPP activities, and to prioritize these districts for signing of Memoranda of
Understanding (MOU) with MCA-Indonesia. The Rapid DRAs are undertaken by the Project
Management Consultant (PMC) supporting MCA-Indonesia. This report represents the results of a
Rapid DRA undertaken for the GPP by PMC, in Kampar District, Riau Province.
1.2 Objectives Objectives of this Rapid DRA were to:
Assess the level of district readiness related to: political conditions, institutional capacity,
regulatory frameworks, social and gender analysis, and conformance with Millennium Challenge
Compact conditions;
Identify and assess critical issues at the district level;
Compile relevant secondary data;
Support MCA-Indonesia in prioritizing pre-selected districts for MOU signing and Green
Prosperity Project agreement;
Assess investment opportunities within the district for environmentally sustainable and low-
carbon economic growth; and
Address social and gender issues in relation to GPP specifications.
Section 2 Methodology
2-1
Section 2 Methodology
Rapid District Readiness Assessment (DRA) consists of three major components of secondary data
collection: (1) Readiness Analysis (using the same matrix used in previous rapid DRAs) combined
with geospatial and spatial plan analyses; (2) Strategic Environmental Assessment; and (3)
stakeholder mapping and analysis based on renewable energy resources within each respective
district. This rapid DRA also includes an assessment of perception and preferences of local
government stakeholders towards a renewable energy scenario in Kampar District.
Secondary data collection focuses on compiling documents such as the long-term and medium-term
development plans, Kampar District statistics, and strategic plans from relevant district government
agencies, the regional strategy, the Strategic Environmental Assessment, and the regional strategy
for reducing greenhouse gas (RAD-GRK). In addition to these documents, a spatial plan map
(preferably in .shp file format) is collected and compiled to improve our understanding of each
district from a spatial planning perspective. The emphasis of the spatial plan data is to understand
the context of land designation, forest cover, and natural resources. Whenever possible, the spatial
plan data should also include data on moratorium and indigenous land ownership to allow more
comprehensive analyses of relevant context in each district.
Collection of Secondary data for Kampar District consisted of:
– Kampar District Spatial Planning 2010-2030;
– Strategic Plan (RENSTRA) and Report of Performance (LAKIP) for Kampar District;
– Medium Term Plan (RPJMD) 2011-2015;
– Long Term Plan (RPJP) 2006-2025;
– District Regulations (PERDA) relevant with Spatial Plans, environmental and social
safeguards; and
– Kampar District Statistics 2015.
Field visit and interviews. A field visit to Kampar District was conducted by the PMC team
from March 7 to 10, 2016, to better understand the local context for future GPP investment.
Target areas visited included: the general landscape of Kampar, and overall conditions in
Kampar including infrastructure and land uses. The PMC team met and conducted interviews
with the following district offices in Kampar district:
– District Development Planning Agency (Bappeda);
– BPPTPM (Office of One-stop Licencing Service);
– Plantation Office;
– Family Planning and Women Empowerment Office (BKBPP);
– Forestry Office;
– Energy and Mineral Resources Office; and
Section 2 Methodology
2-2
– Environmental Agency.
Maps of Kampar District are presented in Appendix A. Photographs taken during the field visit
appear in Appendix B. A Summary of meetings with the above organizations is presented in
Appendix C.
Data analysis. Descriptive analyses were conducted following the terms of reference provided
by MCA-Indonesia, and focused on components of: political analysis, institutional analysis,
participatory land use planning, regulatory analysis, social conditions and gender, and compact
requirements. A description of each component is provided in the matrix presented in this
report (Section 4.0). Additionally, analyses on conditions of renewable energy and conditions to
support Public Land Use Planning are also provided and based on interviews and secondary
data.
GIS Analysis. Additionally, the readiness assessment includes GIS analyses such as:
– Land-cover analysis to identify critical land and forest cover to support a geospatial analysis
of the existing spatial plan. Land-cover analysis employs a comparison of cover percentages
among land-cover classes; and
– Identification of natural resources, stakeholders, and institutions related to natural
resources (resource-based stakeholder mapping). Indigenous land ownership issues may be
identified using this approach.
When applicable, these geospatial parameters are linked to the district spatial plan, strategic
environmental assessment (SEA), and RAD-GRK to assess the context of district planning and
achievements in relation to the targets. The spatial plan data is a document that has been
validated and enforced by the Bupati through a PERDA (District regulation).

Section 3 General Description of the District
3.1 Location and Accessibility Kampar District was established through Law No. 12/1956. Bangkinang City was established as the
official capital of Kampar District. The district capital is also known as Government Centre, and is
where the government offices are located.
Based on land cover area (Bureau of Statistics 2013), the total area of Kampar District is 1,078,774
ha, and approximately 71% of the district is a national forest area. Limited production forest HPT
covers 226,181 ha, or 21% of district area; permanent production forest covers 110,950 ha, or 10%
of district area; while the remaining 13% consists of protected forest. Kampar has two seasons (dry
and wet), with average days of rain ranging from 2 to 17 days per year. In 2014, precipitation ranged
from 1 to 969 mm/month (average of 32 mm to 491 mm per month). The highest rainfall is observed
in November and reaches 969 mm in Koto Kampar Hulu Sub-district.
Kampar District is located approximately 60 km southwest of Pekanbaru, the Riau Province capital,
and can be accessed by road. There are road networks and public transportation services consisting
of travel buses that commute between Bangkinang (capital city of Kampar District) and Pekanbaru.
Road conditions in Kampar are generally good, indicating that most areas in Kampar District are
accessible by asphalt road. Road access in Kampar District is crucial for connecting Pekanbaru with
many sub-districts in Kampar District, and the Airport in Pekanbaru City.
3.2 Demographics Based on 2014 statistics (published in 2015), the population of Kampar is 773,171; consisting of
397,107 men and 376,064 women resulting in a male: female ratio of 105:100. The population grew
by 2.8% between 2012 and 2014. Population density averages 65 people per km2 with the highest
population density of 358 people per km2 recorded in Kampar Sub-District. The lowest population
density of 8 people per km2 was recorded in Kampar Kiri Hulu Sub-district. Urban area (defined as
city-like places1) in Kampar District is located in Bangkinang, which hosts the district government
offices. The population of this urban area is 38,776 (19,608 men and 19,168 women). These figures
demonstrate that 5% of the population in Kampar lives in urban areas, while the majority of the
population lives in rural areas.
Based on Labor Force Profile in Riau Province 2014, the working-age (>15 yrs) portion of the
population is 328,545 people, of which 308,517 people (220,561 men and 87,956 women) are
employed. Within the employed population, 39.3% work in the agricultural sector, 22.8% in trade
sectors, 20.2% in service sectors, 15.7% in other sectors, and the remaining 2.1% work in industry
sectors. All sectors employ more women than men, except in agricultural and other sectors where
the composition is more men than women. The poverty criteria used by the Bureau of Statistics is set
at IDR 278,068 per capita per month. Using this standard, 21,470 people, or 16.7% of the Kampar
population, lives below the poverty line.
Based on the Labor Force Situation in Riau Province (Statistics of 2014), levels of education among
working age people in Kampar range from “never been to school” to “universities degrees”. In the
working-age population, workers with “never been to school” backgrounds consist of 1,850 men and

throughout Kampar. There are seven hospitals distributed throughout the district, one owned by the
Government of Kampar District (located in Bangkinang), and six hospitals owned privately which are
in Salo, Tapung Hulu, Bangkinang, Kampar, and Siak Hulu Sub-districts. Besides hospitals, Kampar
District has 31 PUSKESMAS which are distributed within all sub-districts. An additional 156
assistant/support PUSKESMAS (PUSKESMAS Pembantu) are distributed in the 21 sub-districts; 29
are land-based mobile PUSKESMAS (PUSKESMAS keliling di daratan), and 5 are water (river)-based
mobile PUSKESMAS (Puskesmas keliling di perairran).
3.3 Regional Economy 3.3.1 Performance for the Period 2011-20152 Economic performance of Kampar District is based on records of gross domestic product (GDP) in
Kampar District from 2012 to 2014. These data show that the economic performance of Kampar
improved over this period, as indicated by an increase in GDP. Based on a constant price set in 2012,
GDP in Kampar increased from IDR 5.4 trillion in 2012, IDR 5.8 trillion in 2013, to IDR 6.2 trillion in
2014. The calculated average annual GDP from 2012-2014 increase is 7.4%, which is higher than the
overall Riau provincial average of 2.6% annual GDP increase. Kampar District relies on mining and
quarrying, followed by agriculture, forestry, and fisheries as a main source of revenue.
Based on District Statistics Bureau (2015), the GDP in Kampar District in 2014 reached IDR 6.2
trillion. This GDP consists mainly of contributions from mining and quarrying (46.8%), followed by
agriculture, forestry and fishery sectors (22.1%), and the manufacturing sector (18.7%). Remaining
GDP contributions come from construction (5.7%), trades and trade-like sectors (2.8%), government
administration (1.4%), real estate sectors (0.8%), education sectors (0.4%), information and
communication sectors (0.3%), finances and insurance sector (0.3%), transportation and
warehousing sectors (0.2%), other services sectors (0.21%), health and social services sector (0.1%)
meals and accommodation provider sector (0.1%), electricity and gas management (0.1%), and the
water and waste management sector (0.01%).
Agriculture in Kampar District consists of feed crops (paddy, corn, cassava, sweat potatoes, peanuts,
soybeans, and green beans), vegetables (chili, cayenne, bean, long bean, cabbage, cauliflower,
mustard, spinach, tomato, eggplant, chayote, and cucumber), fruits (fruit star, soursop, avocado,
mango, rambutan, water apple, guava, jackfruit, toothless gum, papaya, and banana) and plantations
(palm oil, rubber, coconuts, and gambier,). The largest plantation crop is palm oil with 359,800 ha;
followed by rubber with 101,193 ha; gambier with 4,877 ha; coconut with 2,860 ha; and other crops
with 188 ha.
The combined inflation rate for Kampar is based on average inflation rates in Pekanbaru and Dumai
City. The inflation rate fluctuated from 4.5% in 2012; 7.4 % in 2013; and 5.4% in 2014. These values
corresponded to trends in the price of oil and gas. Based on 2015 statistics (BPS) for Kampar, the
incidence of poverty increased from 8.4% in 2012 to 8.8% in 2013.

3.3.3 Low-Emission Economic Development In early 2014, the implementing agency REDD+ in Indonesia signed a MOU with four provincial and
20 district governments, including Riau Province and Kampar District. Following the Indonesian
national commitment on emissions reduction, the programs in Kampar District include:
Monitoring a moratorium on granting new licenses;
Licensing procedures;
Law enforcement facilitation;
Indigenous lands mapping and capacity building for indigenous people;
Section 3 General Description of The District
3-4
Management of forest fires and peat-based society;
Green Village program;
Green Village school program;
Conflict resolution;
Spatial plan facilitation; and
Development of a strategic program to assist and develop national parks and protected areas.
However, the REDD+ has been dissolved by Presidential Decree No. 16/2015 and signed by
President Joko Widodo on 21 January 2015. Therefore, the duties and functions of the Implementing
Agency of REDD+ are assumed by the Ministry of Environment and Forestry. This dissolution has
implications for the validity of the MOU between REDD+ and the Provincial Government of Riau.
Greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) in Riau Province are derived from four sectors consisting of
agriculture and forestry; energy; transportation and industrial; and waste management. In 2010
emissions of GHG reached approximately 260 million tons CO₂-eq. Most carbon emissions in Riau
Province are generated by land-based activities (96% of a total of 260 million tons of CO2-eq) in
20103. The province has targets for emission reduction from land-based activities from the forestry
sector.
The regional action plan also describes the strategy for reducing greenhouse gas emissions from the
agriculture sector which includes:
Developing non-burning agriculture methods;
Using organic fertilizers from agriculture waste; and
Encouraging the use of biogas.
In addition to the abovementioned land-based greenhouse gas emission reduction strategies, the
action plan also outlines the energy sector strategy which includes the use of renewable energy and
household biogas. Kampar District has implemented several programs and activities that can be
linked with the district’s commitment to the provincial strategy. The use of micro hydro with 4-5
units in Kampar Kiri and Kampar Kiri Hulu sub-districts indicates a degree of alignment with
provincial commitments to reduce greenhouse gas emission by using renewable energy sources.
District Government has also been disseminating renewable energy products such as solar energy
(solar panels), but these are less desirable by the communities.
3.3.4 Renewable Natural Resources Management Kampar contains promising renewable natural resources to support sustainable development.
Potential renewable natural resources in Kampar that may be important to the GPP include:
Renewable energy
– Hydropower resources ranging from micro-hydro to mini-hydro have been identified as a
potential energy source in Kampar Kiri and Kampar Kiri Hulu Sub-district; and

– Solar panels.
Natural Resource Management
– Government’s commitment for natural resources management is stated in LAKIP 2013, on
the Third Mission, as: “Developing the potential of natural resources to build a solid social
economic foundation.”;
– Based on land cover area, total area of Kampar District (2013 data from Bureau of Statistics)
is 1,078,775 ha, and approximately 71% of the district is a national forest area. This forest
area consists of limited production forest covering 226,181 ha, or 21% of the district area;
permanent production forest covers 110,950 ha, or 10% of the district area; and the
remaining 13% is protected forest; and
– Bupati introduces a priority program called: Independent/Sufficient Food and Energy
Household (RTMPE). The program aims to intensify the use of cow manure for Biogas and
Bioenergy.
3.4 Mining and Energy Sector Mining currently contributes a large portion to the economy of Kampar District with 46.8% GDP
contribution. In 2012, the number of industrial companies in Kampar district was 1,153, comprising
318 units of industrial metals, machinery, and chemicals; 288 units of miscellaneous industry; and
607 agricultural and forestry industries. In addition, production of oil and gas in 2012 showed a
positive development with an increase of 9.5% to 15 million barrels.
Electricity power needs increase annually both for household consumers as well as for industry.
Electrical energy is supplied by PLN Bangkinang Branch. In 2014 the number of households using
electricity from PLN was 83.7% of total households. However, there was still 0.6% of households
using a source of illumination lamp/torch, although this number is declining. Primary energy for
cooking within households was predominantly gas/LPG (72.1%), followed by charcoal/wood
(18.7%), kerosene (8.7%), and electricity (12.4%).
The electricity ratio in Kampar District is 71.3, indicating that most of the households in Kampar
currently have electricity. The total electricity production in Kampar District is approximately
180,000 MWh, of which 126,000 MWh is used. Peak loads in Kampar (Bangkinang City) can reach

3.7 Social and Gender Integration The long-term development plan (RPJP) 2005 to 2005 aims for sustainable development that
integrates all aspects of community in Kampar, including social, welfare, and gender aspects. Social
quality will be increased by expanding the reach of social welfare services rehabilitation programs
and prevention of domestic violence in the district. Targets of the plan include increasing the human
development index by increasing the income index, including a gender mainstreaming program
aimed at ensuring equal and active participation of women and youth.
The Medium-term Regional Development Planning (RPJMD) Year 2011 to 2016, did not explicitly
address the issue of gender mainstreaming. Among 31 existing government programs and 25 new
programs, there is no specific gender-specific (planned or ongoing) activities. This concludes that the
district of Kampar has limited commitment to gender mainstreaming, or to women empowerment
The implementation of the gender mainstreaming program is carried out by the office of women
empowerment and family planning (Badan Keluarga Berencana dan Pemberdayaan Perempuan
/BKBPP). This office sets up a division for gender mainstreaming that is responsible for:

Kampar District has no regulation (Perda) dedicated to women empowerment and child protection
activities. Currently, BKBPP (the key office on gender mainstreaming) does not have an updated
database to support gender mainstreaming programs. However, some vocational training has been
conducted, such as sewing, make-up, and book-keeping trainings for women who are school
dropouts and widows.

Transparency Policies
Kampar District has opened its policies to the public in relation to licensing procedures, following the issuance of Presidential Decree No. 97/2014 on the implementation of integrated one-stop licensing service. The office that was established in 2015, called Integrated Licensing Service Agency and Investment (BPPTPM) started full operation in April 2016. The Head of BPPTPM Office stated the office has handled 75 licensing procedures so far, such as building licenses, business licenses, location permits, and type-C extraction, but still none for mini/micro hydro power plant. Kampar has addressed transparency in licensing by issuing Kampar District Regulation No. 28/2009 on Licensing Services And Business Recommendations and/or Activity in Environmental Sector. In compliance with the Law No. 14/2008 on Public Information Disclosure and Government Regulation No. 61/2010 article 12, Kampar District appointed a Documentation and Information Management Officer (PPID) to provide access to public information.

1.2 Commitment to low-emission economic growth
Riau Province is included in the national strategic plan for reducing greenhouse gas emissions (RAN-GRK), and has specific targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions from land-based activities, energy, and waste. The commitment to low-emission economic growth is stated in LAKIP 2013, on the Third Mission: “Developing the potential of natural resources to build a solid social economic foundation.” However, this mission or goal of the development plan in Kampar District consists of: 1) Increasing local revenue of Kampar District; and 2) Increasing the sources of revenue based on the spatial plan. There is

Kampar scored 2 on its commitment to low-emission economic development. Although Kampar has a strategic action plan for developing natural resources management, in fact, Kampar is still a forest-fire prone area. District Government still has no strategy, in terms of prevention and mitigation actions, to handle this acute problem. From the interview with government officials, they acknowledged increasing forest fires in Kampar because of a weak

no specific linkage to the abovementioned third mission of Kampar. Based on land cover area, approximately 71% of the district is a national forest area. The government set the target of rehabilitation of forests and critical areas in 2013 to 1,000 ha, 100% can be achieved, however, but the target only aims for retribution from forest resources. Even so, target revenue of such retribution is not achieved. Regarding forestry issues, Government of Kampar District has enacted Several District Regulations (Perda) to regulate forestry, e.g .: 1. Perda No. 7/2013 on Circulation of Forest

control management system. This reflects the weakness of law enforcement to imprison violators (businesses and communities), who stil conducting slash and burn practices in clearing their farm land, as well as to arrest illegal loggers and uncontrolled land clearers in protected forests and along the Kampar river basin. Government's commitment through a community development program on low-emission economic growth is appreciated. Recent introductions include a program called: Independent/Sufficient Food and Energy Household (RTMPE). The program aims to intensify the use of cow manure for Biogas and Bioenergy. Furthermore, Government is able to encourage the private sector and donors to support the program. The District has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Director of PT. Perkebunan Nusantara in developing renewable energy projects, such as biomass from palm biomass waste. Government also welcomes technical assistance from ICED/USAID to promote clean energy technology through building mini hydro-power plants, biomass, and biogas with scale of 1-10 MW.

boundaries may also generate conflicts
between villages and with sub-districts. The
LAKIP 2012 confirmed that most village and
sub-district boundaries have not yet been
definitively identified, giving rise to conflicts

conflict resolution needs to be handled as
soon as possible to reduce land-use conflicts
in border areas.
LAKIP also recognizes agricultural land conflict issues in the chapter of "Food Crops Field Issues”. That is related to the uncontrolled extent of uncultivated/abandoned land. LAKIP provided data on abandoned land that amounted to 12,093 hectares or 3.7% the district area. Government manages land-use conflict through mechanisms such as mediation in Pancuran Gading and Pematang Lumuik village. In this case, the Regent facilitated the mediation and issued an SK (decree) to settle the conflict.
Regulation (PERDA) that specifically address this issue, although it has been mandated through Law No. 41/2009. Despite the recognition as a very important issue in LAKIP 2013 there is no strategy set up to look for a solution. Kampar scored 2 on its response to land-use conflict, since the government could identify the problem, but is unable to implement an effective strategy, program and regulation to resolve it.

2. Institutional Analysis 2.1 Bappeda and Sector
Agencies Bappeda and other sectors in Kampar District agencies have strategic plans that are incorporated into the district strategic plan (RPJP) for 2011-2015. The role of Bappeda as a planning agency in Kampar District is acknowledged by other sector agencies, and good consultation mechanisms in the planning process have been established through an existing government forum (Forum SKPD).
The roles of Bappeda in participatory planning are also essential, particularly in the development planning process (Musrenbang) at the district and sub-district levels. Bappeda is also actively involved in the Village Development Planning Forum (Musrenbangdes). The village budget is getting larger compared to previous years due to increased village budget allocations from central and district governments, so clear guidance is needed to ensure proper use of this budget allocation. Ideas from Musrenbangdes will be used to feed the Sub-District and District Development Planning Forum.

Links between the Bappeda and sector agencies seemed very strong. There is a clear line of communication from Bappeda to sector agencies. Most agencies in Kampar District stated that they have prepared and submitted their strategic plans to Bappeda to be formally included in the RPJP and RPJMD. A good consultation forum with Bappeda has been established and worked properly.
A score of 3 is given since there is good coordination aamong Bappeda and Sector Agencies to synchronize district planning, direction, and evaluation. Bappeda is very concerned about the implementation of the new Law No. 6/2014 on Village, Law No. 23/2014 on Local Government, and District Regulation No. 10/2007 on Village Finance. As stated by Bappeda of Kampar District, there is a commitment from the district government to make people aware of these laws. Consequently, Bappeda is involved in the entire process of Musrenbangdes and Musrenbangcam.
2.2 NRM Licensing process and procedures

Furthermore, the licensing process for medium and large-scale industries is performed by a one-roof licensing office, or BPPTPM, with technical recommendations provided by relevant sector agencies (e.g., forestry, mining and energy, and environment).
BPPTPM office always involves the technical agencies prior to issuing a principle permit (izin prinsip). The technical agencies consist of Public Works, Environment, Bappeda, Secretariat of District, National Land Bureau, Legal bureau, and Mining and Energy Office. The licensing process for other sectors (e.g., tourism, trade, commerce, services, infrastructure, and construction) is also handled by the BPPTPM. As part of the licensing process, BPPTPM also hears any recommendations provided by sub-districts.

2.3 Non-government actors affecting district development
Non-government actors are defined as private sectors or organizations that support development. However, according to interviews across District Offices, there are few non-government actors involved in the development process. According to LAKIP 2012 there are 34 mass organizations and 65 non-government organizations (NGO). In LAKIP 2013, the number increased to 68 mass-organizations, 71 non-government organizations (NGO), and 100 youth organizations. Despite the high numbers of NGOs in the district, there are only partial synergies in the

Although the numbers of non-government actors are high, the LAKIP 2012 acknowledged the roles of NGOs and mass organization actors affecting district development are limited. Interviews with government offices noted their presence and involvement in Musrenbang process are also limited. Many of them are invited to join Musrenbang at the village, sub-district and district level, but rarely come. However, Bappeda noted some active NGOs, such as: Jikalahari, Riau Madani, YLBHR, WALHI and WWF. But they are more interested in advocacy or study.

implementation of the programs. This lack of synergy among organizations is noted in the LAKIP 2012 as: “Field Issues of Kesbangpol” (Domestic politics and nation unity).
Some studies have been conducted by those NGOs on sustainable forest management, oil palm plantations, environment, biodiversity and social development. It can be concluded that there is a partial synergy between non-government actors with the district development.
2.4 Low-level government offices (sub-district and villages)
As one of the twelve districts in Riau Province, Kampar district consists of 21 districts and 250 villages/wards with a total area of 1,128,928 ha. Local Government of Kampar District showed its commitment to increasing the capacity of low-level government offices. Some District Regulations have been issued in regards to village management, such as: 1. District Regulation No. 3/2015 on
Guidelines for Village Market Management
2. District Regulation No. 11/2011 on Tax of Land and Building in Rural and Urban areas
3. District Regulation No. 10/2007 on Rural Finance
4. District Regulation No. 11/2007 on Community Institutions
5. District Regulation No. 15/2003 on Rural Income Sources.
Despite its strong commitment to increase the capacity of low-level government offices, the Sanitation White Book noted that 16 sub-districts out of 20 are still vulnerable to floods and suffer from floods every year. Kampar also has landslide-prone areas covering Pulau Gadang village, Merangin village, and along the border of West Sumatra – Riau. Interviews

Kampar sub-districts have been equipped with many District Regulations, but interviews confirmed that implementation needs to be improved in some areas like community institutions, taxes on land and buildings, and village market management. With a larger village budget (Village Budget Allocation /ADD), low-level government offices should be more involved in development planning (Musrenbangdes), since results from Musrenbangdes are important to feed into the sub-district development planning forum (Musrenbangcam). Based on the results of Musrenbangdes and Musrenbangcam in many villages and sub-districts (described in the www.kamparkab.go.id), most villages proposed building offices and infrastructures projects, while allocations to increase community capacity or mitigate the hazard are very limited.

confirmed that disaster prevention and mitigation capacity should be strengthened in low-level government offices.
2.5 Other donor/NGO-funded programs on low-emission development (NRM RE)
There are several donor-funded programs on low emission development (NRM RE) in this district. Among them are:
USAID/ICED: in clean energy technology through promoting mini hydro-power plants, biomass, biogas with capacities of 1-10 MW.
PT. Perkebunan Nusantara: cooperation in development of new and renewable energy based on oil palm biomass.
KOICA (Korea International Cooperation Agency): concerns on waste management from palm-oil factories.
From private sector, according to BLH, there are only two palm-oil companies initiated to produce POME /biogas, out of 37 palm-oil companies in Kampar district.
Government has also provided support for five micro-hydropower generators, and several solar panels. Kampar Regency has a power network (72 082 KWH) with 5 units of diesel power generators and a Hydroelectric Power Plant (HEPP) in Koto Panjang with a capacity of 114,240 KWH.
Other donors such as Tzu Chi Foundation and PT Sinar Mas focus on providing free medical care.

Discussions with District Offices across Kampar revealed limited donor or NGO involvement in low-emission development. According to LAKIP 2013, the number of NGOs is 68 mass organizations, 71 non-government organizations (NGO), and 100 youth organizations, but they have limited interest in low-emission development. Active NGOs like LSM Pelopor, Riau Madani, and WWF are more focused on policy advocacy.
Kampar District has actually enacted District Regulation (Perda) No. 3/2012 on Corporate Social Responsibility, which should be useful in encouraging more involvement from companies, as donors, to put aside funds for community development as their social responsibility program.

existing conditions related to four tasks in Participatory Mapping and Planning (PMaP) and specific recommendations (if any)
Task # 1: Participatory mapping has not been done. Interviews with the infrastructure division and the secretary of Bappeda indicate that conflicts regarding village boundaries and disputes between sub-districts on boundary issues often occurred.
Task # 2: Acquisitions of geo-spatial data and preparation of a GIS database of land use and cover have been done to develop the spatial plan (RTRW) 2011-2031. Geo-spatial Data in shape files are available at the spatial plan of sub-division under the Planning Agency.
Task # 3: Compilation and geo-referencing of existing and pending licenses and permits for land and natural resource use is available, and Kampar District is preparing to transfer authority to the province (Law No. 23/2014).
Task # 4: Enhancing district spatial plans through capacity building in spatial planning, enforcement, and management of land use information in a spatially-enabled database is urgently needed in Kampar District due to shortages in human resources capable of developing the spatial plan and to conduct spatial analyses.

However Rapid DRA in Kampar District shows that Task #1 is not fulfilled. Interviews indicate that participatory mapping (Task #1) has not been completed due to a lack of urgency to conduct such activities.
Recommendations may include advising the district government on the significance of participatory mapping (Task #1), updating geospatial data (Task #2), and concurrently providing capacity building and training for personnel in mapping Bappeda (Task #4). Therefore, the complete PLUP package is recommended for Kampar District.

4. Regulatory Analysis 4.1 Regulatory
framework enabling GP Project Investment
Regulations concerning management of forestry, mining, and energy will be transferred to the provincial and central government regulations (in compliance with Law No. 23/2014). Most of requested permits in the district are related to business licenses.
However District Government is quite active in issuing District Regulations (Perda) that aim to provide an enabling environment for GP Project Investment, such as:
1. Regulation No. 28/2009 About Licensing Services And Business Recommendations and/or Environmental Sector Activity
2. Regulation No. 11/2009 about Revocation Kampar District Regulation No. 19/2003 on Waste Water Levies

Many District Regulations related to the environment have been enacted, before GP Project entering Kampar District. The RPJM, RPJP, LAKIP, and Sanitation White Book have also put “sustainable development” as a key goal. Those commitments provide an enabling environment for MCA Indonesia before signing the MOU with the District Head.
Kampar district has also established a one-stop permitting service (BPPTPM). Prior to transferring authority to the province and central Governments, licensing for natural resources carry out through recommendations from technical agencies (e.g., forestry, plantation, environment, and mining,), as well as approval from the sub-district governments. Under the new Law No. 23/2014, the district government will continue to provide advice and recommendations in licensing procedures. Coordination across district agencies (technical sector) and the one-roof licensing service (BPPTPM) is already well implemented.
4.2 Safeguards on human health, livelihood, and environment
In 2011, Kampar District formalized the sanitation working group. This working group then produced a white book on sanitation that outlines the district sanitation profile and the result of environmental Health Risk Assessment (EHRA).

The target to be achieved by 2014, are set in RPJMN 2010-2014, namely: 1. Improve domestic waste system in urban
and rural areas, through the 10% increasing provision of centralized sewerage system. and on-site treatment system by 90%.
2. Waste reduction and increase environmental friendly waste management through the establishment of sanitary or controlled landfill and safe technology for 80% of households in urban areas.
3. Puddle Reduction in 100 urban strategic areas that prone to flooding with a coverage area of 22,500 Ha.
Kampar District does not have specific regulations (Perda) on safeguards towards human health, livelihood, and environment. However, the district;s commitments are reflected in the long-term and medium-term development plans. Additionally, Kampar District has actually enacted District Regulation (Perda) No. 3/2012 on Corporate Social Responsibility, which can be considered as a safeguard mechanism involving private companies.
on reviews of these safeguards in the district regulations.
However those issues are covered in various "Technical Guidance" measures issued by the provincial government, such as No. 616.98 on healthy house, No. 636 728 on Home Composting, and No. 363.72 on Wells. The sanitation white book of Kampar district indicates the will of the district government to promote human health, livelihood, and environment. While the mid-term development plan also explicitly contains strategies to address human health, livelihood, and environmental issues.
4.3 PES (payment for environmental services)
Based on interviews with heads of district agencies, including the Environment Agency (BLH), there are no initiatives or or local regulations mentioning payment for environmental services (PES) in Kampar District. Kampar district has potential to develop PES, since the district has forest areas that have been changed to production forest (either limited or permanent), amounting to more

of REDD+ in Indonesia signed a MOU with four provincial and 20 district Governments, including Riau Province and Kampar District. As mandated, the district should take a lead on forest fires and peat management. A key role should be played as well on the spatial plan facilitation, and development of a strategic program to assist and develop national parks and protected areas, but these have not been completed.
4.4 Local government incentives for green investment
Although showing good commitment through the Sufficient Food and Energy Village program, and issuing several District Regulations related to environment, overall, local government incentives for green investment is limited. For example, with 37 palm-oil factories across the district, only two palm-oil companies are interested in investing in the production of POME/biogas. As stated by the head of one-stop permitting service (BPPTPM), there are no examples of exemptions or incentives for green investment or renewable energy.

Incentives for green investment or development are regulated by the Ministry of Trade and Industry. There is no indication that the Kampar district uses this incentive to attract companies to apply green technology development, or to increase green investment in the district. A score of 2 for Kampar district to appreciate government’s effort to promote Sufficient Food and Energy Household program which encourages renewable energy (biogas) at household and village levels, though result have not yet been significant.
4.5 Local government and community contribution to the environment
The Government of Kampar district has established a Training Centre for Agricultural and Rural Governmental (P4S) in Kubang Siak Hulu District of Kampar regency, as part of the Sufficient Food and Energy Household program. However there is limited information about community contributions to the environment.

The role of conservationist is played by some NGOs, like Riau Madani, Jikalahari, and WALHI. Recently Riau Madani set a lawsuit against Yusman Riau Musik for building palm oil plantations of 250 hectares without permits in protected forest areas since 2005.
Implementation of this program seems sporadic, and without harmonization with the overall development plan.
5. Social and Gender 5.1 Status of gender
mainstreaming in the district
Kampar District does not have an ongoing gender mainstreaming program, nor does it have a regulatory framework on promoting women empowerment and child protection.
Women Empowerment and Family Planning Office (BKBPP) of Kampar District confirmed that there is only one woman out of 250 villages who is appointed as the head of village – Ms. Dewi Asmara, the head of Terantang village. In the local parliament, women are only represented by 10%, and as local government officers, only 20% women are among total officers.
Interviews with Women Empowerment and Family Planning Office (BKBPP) Kampar District also confirmed that the district government has a limited programs for woman empowerment. The office’s program in 2015 could only provide benefit to 21 women for having vocational training, like sewing, make-up, and book-keeping. The budget for similar programs will decrease in 2016.

Baseline data exists, but gender-oriented programs and campaigns are still limited to the development of a gender database that will be useful to plan for future programs on gender mainstreaming (gender-sensitive programs).
Furthermore, the district medium-term development plan 2011 - 2016 (RPJMD) did not specifically address the issue of gender mainstreaming. Among 31 existing government programs and 25 new programs, there are no explicit targets for gender-sensitive programs. This suggests limited commitment to gender mainstreaming, or to women empowerment in the district.
5.2 Vulnerable community groups
Referring to the Kampar District’s Sanitation White Book 2014, one key indicator is the number of poor people. Poor people in Kampar district in recent years continue to decline. In 2012, the number of poor people was 54,302, but in 2014 dropped to 35,611, a decrease of 34.4%. Using poverty criterion of

Vulnerable groups (poor people and neglected individuals) in Kampar receive attention for reduction or alleviation, as noted in the RPJMD. The District Head (Bupati) has also

the Bureau of Statistics that set the poverty line as Rp 278,068 per capita per month, in 2015 there were 21.470 people, or 16.7% of the Kampar population, living below the poverty line.
created a slogan for his administration related to vulnerable communities: “No poverty, unemployment and slum houses.” Despite its success in addressing poor people, attention to support women as part of vulnerable groups, to participate in development, and to give opportunities for a better career, the District is still weak. Additionally, government commitment on gender mainstreaming policy is low. Government has no regulatory framework, no program (in RPJMD), and no budget to support this particular vulnerable group. Based on this rationale, a score of 2 was assigned.
5.3 Customary law and its effect on district development
To protect customary people from development impacts, District Government has equipped the community with Kampar District Regulation (Perda) No. 12/1999 on Communal Land Rights. One of the programs for customary people is to restore Balai Adat Complex, located on Ring Road, Bangkinang town, into a forest park. Kampar Government has asked the traditional leaders to explore any potential possibility to preserve forest areas while also increasing the local economy, as has been carried out in “Customary forbidden forest of Ghimbo Potai in Rumbio.

Government is concerned about customary people, and has released a regional regulation related to customary rights.

RTRW/Spatial Plan The district government has enacted Regulation (Perda) No. 11/1999 on district spatial plan. The Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) has also been developed as a validation requirement following the Decree of the Ministry of Home Affairs No. 67/2012. Within the district spatial plan, the spatial concept of Kampar District is to focus on a buffer area for Pekanbaru (the capital of Riau province). The district spatial plan also emphasizes sustainable land-use, support for economic growth, conservation, and strategic defence.

Although Kampar has a Perda No. 11/1999 and a draft of spatial plan (RTRW) for 2010-2030, Bappeda acknowledged that there is still lack of discipline in the implementation of the spatial plan, such as the ease in releasing forest area for palm oil plantations or other purposes. Bappeda stated the government offices compound were even built in an area dedicated to forest as noted in the RTRW.
6.2 Openness of information related to data and information in support of GP Financing Compact
Kampar District has an openness of information related to data and information in support of GP Financing Compact. The district, through its official website, provides important information such as regional potentials, description of district agencies, general information, and information on the sub-districts. Regulations, district performance indicators, and government actions are also accessible from this website.

However, information presented on the website is too focussed on informing activities of the Regent (H Jeffery Noer), the Regent's wife Eva Yuliana (as head of the PKK), and the Regent's son Rahmat Jevari Juniarto, as legislator.

6.4 Perception and preference towards implementation of renewable energy
All respondents in Kampar District agencies supported the implementation of Green Prosperity program of MCA Indonesia. Their expectations are high on renewable energy development. The area has huge palm-oil areas, big rivers, and watersheds. All have potential for renewable energy intervention. Hydropower resources ranging from micro-hydro to mini-hydro have been identified as a potential energy source in Kampar Kiri and Kampar Kiri Hulu Sub-district.

Section 5 Conclusions
Based on the prescribed Rapid DRA criteria described in Section 4, Kampar scores 48 out of the
possible maximum 66 points. This is a moderate score (73%) and indicates some degree of
commitment and readiness of Kampar to receive GPP investment, but also indicates the need for
improvement. Aspects that received a minimum score of 1 were found in the criteria of: non-
government actors affecting district development, analysis on the existing conditions related to four
tasks in Participatory Mapping and Planning (PMaP) and specific recommendations, PES (payment
for environmental services), and status of gender mainstreaming in the district. These are potential
areas of intervention for MCA-Indonesia in Kampar District. Conversely, maximum scores were
observed in Government Transparency Policies, (The role of) Bappeda and Sector Agencies, NRM
Licensing process and procedures, public participation, regulatory framework enabling GP Project
Investment, openness of information related to data and information in support of GP Financing
Compact, and perception and preference towards implementation of renewable energy. All
maximum scores indicate the readiness of Kampar District for GP-MCA Indonesia intervention.
The district spatial plan has been formalized with a Perda No. 11/1999, and all spatial data are
available from Bappeda (Spatial Plan Division). However Rapid DRA in Kampar District shows that
Task #1 is not fulfilled. Interviews indicate that participatory mapping (Task #1) has not been
completed due to a lack of urgency to conduct such activities. Recommendations may include
advising the district government on the significance of participatory mapping (Task #1), updating
geospatial data (Task #2), and concurrently providing capacity building and training for personnel
in mapping Bappeda (Task #4). Therefore, the complete PULP package is recommended for Kampar
District.
Interviews across offices in Kampar District noted a great interest in GP investment and anticipate
the next step of the program, which is the partnership grant (Window 1B), or any other relevant
windows. The expectation is that the partnership grant can be used to improve the local economy
and subsequently provide income and employment for communities. GDP analyses show a trend of
declining contributions from the mining sector (due to lower price of coal) to the GDP. In addition, it
would be an optimal time for GP-MCA to engage, since the area has enthusiasm and has provided
enabling environments through enacting relevant regulatory framework.
