PANEL DISCUSSION [1-2]

1.   In July 2020 the UN System agreed on the Global Acceleration Framework (GAF) to accelerate global realization
     of the SDG Global Goals, including water and disasters, climate change adaptation and water and sanitation.
     What action is your organization or country taking in this field, to effectuate the 5 accelerators of the GAF: data &
     information, governance, financing, innovation and capacity building?

     To effectuate the 5 accelerators of the Global Acceleration Framework (GAF) Indonesia has started and continue improving our
     system on the following:
     • Data and Information: Integrating and sharing data and information required on water management among all related
       institution such as: Ministry of Public Works And Housing, Meteorological, Climatological, and Geophysical Agency, National
       Institute of Aeronautics and Space of Indonesia, Ministry of Agriculture for assessment and Agency for Assessment Application
       of the Technology. This coordination and integrating data has significantly improve our climate and weather monitoring system,
       to include our water waste disaster early warning system.
     • Governance: To optimize the water management, we have setup River Basin Management Unit (RBO). Each RBO has a
       responsibility to compose River Basin Strategic Plan and River Basin Implementation Plan. Strategic and Implementation Plan
       must cover the planning on conservation of water resources, optimizing the potential of water resources and how to manage the
       risk of water related disaster that may occur in the basin. Those plans become the guidance on managing each river basin.
     • Financing: As stated in our constitution, water must be controlled by the government and its potential must be optimized for
       the public purpose. We manage our water as more social good rather than an economic goods. To implement this basic
       principle, in Indonesia there is no water price. We could only allow to manage the water service fee to partially support the
       budget required. The main budget for water resource management is allocated by the government.
     • Innovation: To make our water management services better, currently the Ministry of Public Works and Housing is working
       hard to explore the private participation on Water Resource Development through Public Private Partnership (PPP) schemes. In
       this regard, we have setup a special Directorate General to manage Public Private Partnership on infrastructure.
     • Capacity building: Human resource is very important in water resource development. To make sure that we have sufficient
       high quality of human resources in water resources, we have established p water program cooperation with several reputable
       universities in Indonesia and abroad to educate engineers and managers.

                                                                                                                                        9
PANEL DISCUSSION [2-2]

2.   The Netherlands, together with the Government of Tajikistan, will co-chair the UN Water Conference in 2023. A
     conference where water is discussed in al its dimensions. This is an opportunity to prioritize and discuss the most
     pressing topics related to water.
     What would be your priorities for this conference and what can your organization contribute in making this
     important event a success?

     Concerning the water conference in 2023, Indonesia proposes following priorities:
     • climate change impact and its adaptation strategy.
     • land subsidence and low land development.

     Indonesia will present challenges and experiences on managing water resources, particularly on the mentioned priorities,
     including lesson learned during COVID-19 Pandemic.

                                                                                                                                10
