Thursday, September 9 2021. East Kalimantan Province Bappeda attended virtually the implementation of program socialization and deepening of the USAID Sustainable Environmental Governance Across Regions (SEGAR) work plan in East Kutai Regency. This event was opened by the Assistant Regional Secretary for Economic Affairs of East Kutai Regency, H.Suroto, SE, M.Sc. A similar event has been carried out previously for Mahakam Ulu Regency.
USAID Sustainable Environmental Governance Across Regions (SEGAR) is an activity initiated by the Indonesian Ministry of National Development Planning/Bappenas with USAID. It is planned that this activity will be carried out over the next 5 (five) years.
Through the SEGAR program, USAID will advance Indonesia's development goals of balancing biodiversity conservation and sustainable land use with inclusive economic development and livelihoods. This activity will achieve two objectives including the FIRST GOAL to strengthen inclusive environmental governance at the sub-national level which is targeted at advancing biodiversity conservation, sustainable forest management and sustainable land use; and SECOND GOAL to increase the implementation of environmental and social sustainability goals in the private sector natural resource commodity production supply chain which reduces threats to biodiversity and reduces greenhouse gas emissions from land use.
