Integrated Land Administration and Spatial Planning Project

active

More than 60 percent of the emission reduction target in Indonesia’s Enhanced Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) is set to be achieved through actions in the Forestry and Other Land Use (FOLU) sector. To this end, this project will support climate-informed spatial planning; (ii) advance Agrarian Reform through the registration of lands to enhance sustainable land use management and promote social inclusion; (iii) support the development of modern LIS; (iv) enhance the property and land valuation system to enhance own source revenue collection for urban services and; (v) produce large scale base maps for the entire Indonesian territory to enhance climate actions. The ILASP Project will support the GoI in addressing climate change by strengthening spatial planning and increasing tenure security, both critical to reduce Indonesia’s emissions and implement climate change adaptation measures. First, the project will support the development of high-resolution geospatial data providing the foundation to developing climate-informed spatial plans that direct new agriculture and infrastructure away from high-carbon and sensitive ecosystems and guide urban densification to reduce further encroachment and build resilient cities. Under the ILASP project, climate-informed spatial planning entails conducting risks assessments on areas vulnerable to climate change impacts, identifying and designating critical landscapes for preservation, involving communities in the planning processes, and using climate data and modeling tools to better understand and predict potential impacts of climate change on a specific area. An upgrade to the national geospatial data infrastructure will enable the creation of multi-use and large-scale spatial data that accurately reflect climate risks and national economic priorities, ensuring that stakeholders are equipped with the tools to leverage geospatial information in support of comprehensive, climate-resilient planning and decision-making. Second, the project will clarify and register the tenurial and administrative status of different land functions and secure land rights for the most vulnerable communities, including indigenous peoples, which will both promote social inclusion and enhance sustainable landscape management. Third, the project will support the development of a land valuation system to enhance own source revenue collection for urban services and governance, facilitate land assembly for infrastructure investments, and increase property market efficiency and transparency. The paradigm shift to climate-resilient spatial planning, mass valuation, and comprehensive land tenure requires a digital transformation of land administration systems. To this end, land use (spatial planning) and land administration (tenure and valuation) will be integrated through a comprehensive and integrated Land Information System (LIS). The project costs are estimated at US$653 million and will include five components:(a) Component 1: Climate-Informed Spatial Planning (US$105 million)(b) Component 2: Strengthening Land Tenure and Landscape Management (US$177 million)(c) Component 3: Land Information System and Valuation (US$45 million)(d) Component 4: Large-scale Base Maps for Climate Action (US$292 million)(e) Component 5: Project Management and Capacity Building (US$34 million)
