In Indonesia, Strategic Environmental Assessment is regulated under the Law No. 32/2009 concerning environmental management and protection. The SEA is mandatory for local government related to the Policy, Plan and Program (PPP), including spatial plan and mid-term development plan. Additionally, sector development especially infrastructure, which usually across administrative boundaries of district and provinces, and are overlapping with sensitive areas such as conservation areas, protected forest, and land as a source of communities, will require an SEA. This slide provide an overview on why and how infrastructure sector in Indonesia will require SEA.

• Introduction
• Infrastructure development plan (2015-2019)
• Infrastructure sector and SDGs
• Characteristics of infrastructure development

3. Introduction
• Infrastructure is the main driver of growth in Indonesian
economy;
• Infrastructure investment commitments could raise
Indonesia’s GDP by 0.3 percent, out of 0.9 percent additional
growth from all of implemented commitments by 2018 (tax,
SMEs, business licenses, manpower, market, etc.)1
• Strategic infrastructure projects are usually complex and
beyond the capacity of AMDAL to address environmental and
social issues

8. Is AMDAL Only Sufficient?
Project
investment
planning,
infrastructure
and service
delivery
Project’s
surrounding
Biophysical,
Human and Social
Environment
AMDAL: Only focus in project
area. Other activities outside
of project area that are not
related are excluded
SEA: Focus on a wider context
(landscape, watershed,
regional). Project area is part of
the planning stage for wider
sustainable investment

16. Why Require SEA?5
• Increasing benefit of
development.
• Assurance of sustainable
results from development.
• Avoid mistakes in the
planning/prediction in the
early stage of PPP;
• Negative impact at the project
area can be managed and
prevented effectively, as
environmental consideration
has been included in the
Policy, Plan and Program stage.
