                                       EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
1.     The Government of Indonesia with loan funding from the Asian Development Bank (ADB)
has proposed to implement the Advanced Knowledge and Skills for Sustainable Growth in
Indonesia (AKSI) Project. The Executing Agency for the project is the Ministry of Research,
Technology, and Higher Education (MORTHE) and the Implementing Agencies are four
universities: the University of Malikussaleh (UNIMAL), the University of Jambi (UNJA), and the
University of Riau (UNRI) in Sumatra and the Indonesia University of Education (UPI) in Bandung,
West Java (a teacher education university).

2.      The AKSI project’s scope of work entails three categories of activities: (i) Development of
teaching and research facilities and procurement of equipment; (ii) Development of human
resources for lecturers and university staff; and (iii) Development of academic curriculum, applied
research, and services, with an aligned management system in a specific focus area, which is
referred to as a center of excellence. Under the physical component, AKSI will construct 39 new
buildings, complete 1 unfinished building, and demolish 3 buildings; activities will take place on 7
campuses within the 4 universities. The construction will all take place on university campuses
that are already developed. All buildings will have environmental clearance as required by
Indonesian laws. These clearances will be issued after environmental impact assessments have
been completed and plans to mitigate negative environmental impacts have been accepted by
the government’s environmental protection authorities ADB. Similarly, the ADB’s environmental
safeguards policy stipulates that MORTHE and the universities must prepare an Initial
Environmental Examination (IEE), including an Environmental Management Plan (EMP), which
is to be approved by ADB. The draft report will be made public for public consultation on the ADB
website and by MORTHE and the universities locally. At the detailed engineering design stage,
each university will develop its own IEE and seek MORTHE and ADB approval. During project
implementation the IEE of each university will be updated as and when required, and progress on
implementing the IEE needs to be reported twice a year. The progress report will be published on
the ADB website and by MORTHE and the universities.

3.      The objectives of this IEE are to: (i) provide information about the general environmental
setting of the project area; (ii) identify impact of the project activities (physical infrastructure
development of the buildings) on the bio-physical, socio-economic, and cultural environment of
the project, recommend site specific environmental mitigation measures; and (iii) prepare an
environmental management plan for the project area to ensure that the IEE addresses the
requirements of the following: (a). Relevant Indonesian laws, regulations, and standard practices
and (b) ADB’s Safeguard Policy Statement, July 2009, applicable treaties and agreements.

4.      The assessment of the project has been carried out for both positive and negative impacts.
It is expected that the project activities will not have any significant adverse impact on the
environment. Impacts are most likely to occur during the construction phase; these are expected
to be temporary in nature and can be mitigated with proper management and good practices.
During the operational phase, the most likely risk is disposal of small amounts of waste from
teaching laboratories and teaching workshops that will be mitigated with standard procedures and
good practices used by universities for managing educational laboratories and school workshop
waste.

5.     The IEE remains a “living document”, and will be updated as and when required.

                                     I.    INTRODUCTION

       Project Background

1.      The Advanced Knowledge and Skills for Sustainable Growth (AKSI) project is part of
Indonesia’s long-term development plan for higher education with the stated objectives of: (i)
Increasing access to higher education, thus increasing enrollment rate; (ii) Improving quality,
relevance, competitiveness, and accreditation of higher education through the enhancement of
academic quality, facilities, human resources development, and research; (iii) Increasing quality
and competitiveness of higher education graduates. Project activities will be carried out in four
universities: the University of Malikussaleh (UNIMAL), the University of Jambi (UNJA), and the
University of Riau (UNRI) in Sumatra and the Indonesia University of Education (UPI) in Bandung,
West Java (a teacher education university), to provide high quality and demand-based programs
as part of the first phase of support to the longer-term higher education reform strategy.

2.      The Government of Indonesia (GOI) with loan financing from the ADB will upgrade these
four universities that were selected on a competitive basis based on proposals that indicated they
have the capacity to implement a relatively large project for constructing new buildings, upgrading
academic and non-academic human resources, and creating Centers of Excellence aligned with
their missions. AKSI’s envisioned scope of work entails three categories of activities: (i)
Development of teaching and research facilities, supporting infrastructures, and procurement of
equipment; (ii) Development and improvement of the quality of human resources, including
degree and non-degree programs for lecturers and university staff; (iii) Development of academic
curriculum, applied research, and services, with an aligned management system in a specific
focus area, which is referred to as a center of excellence. UNIMAL will focus at agriculture, UNJA
at sustainable natural resource management, UNRI on marine and aquatic science, UPI at
technical and vocational education and training (TVET) teacher education.

3.      The AKSI project includes financing the construction of 39 new buildings, completion of 1
unfinished building, and the demolition of 3 building on 7 locations within the boundaries of the 4
university campuses. The Executing Agency for the project is the Ministry of Research,
Technology, and Higher Education (MORTHE) and the Implementing Agencies are the four
universities. Within MORTHE, the key unit for the AKSI implementation will be the Project
Management Unit (PMU) established to manage and implement project/subprojects wholly at the
national level. Under the MORTHE PMU, Project Implementation Units (PIU) will be established in
each university to act as the Implementing Agencies (IA) that will manage and implement the
subprojects in their respective university on a day-to-day basis.

4.       All buildings constructed under this project will obtain all necessary permits and meet all
environmental protection, construction, and contracting requirements covered by ADB safeguards
as well as those required by Indonesian laws and regulations as they apply to this project.
Indonesian Environmental Permits can be issued for each building after environmental impact
assessments have been completed and plans to mitigate negative environmental impacts have
been accepted by the environmental protection authorities. Similarly, the ADB’s environmental
safeguards policy stipulates that MORTHE and the universities must prepare and publish a draft
Initial Environmental Examination (IEE), including an Environmental Management Plan (EMP) for
public consultation and that progress reporting on the EMP is required twice per year, and the
progress report will be made public at the ADB website as well as locally by the universities and
MORTHE.

5.      In addition to ensuring that the buildings comply with SPS requirements and GOI
regulations, the project will use good practices suitable for this project for environmental
sustainability, improving climate-change responsiveness (both in terms of adaptation and
mitigation), for increasing cost-efficiency including life cycle cost analysis to justify ‘green’
buildings, and for strengthening the overall academic and physical environment.1 All new
buildings will have engineering designs and checks to ensure specifications are included that
minimize risks to buildings and their occupants from earthquakes, flooding, temperature
increases, and hazardous air quality due to smoke haze. For overall campus design, the project
aims to use good practices appropriate for these campuses to minimize risks to campuses from
seasonal, flooding, temperature change, drought, and, for UNRI and UNJA, smoke haze.2

6.      Sumatra is on the front line of critical environmental issues such as rainforest reduction,
wetland depredation, and diminishing bio-diversity. Each of the three Sumatran universities is
already engaged in activities that address those issues. For example, UNJA has been undertaking
research on tropical rainforest management in collaboration with major universities in Germany
and Indonesia; UNRI has got accreditation from Institute for Coordination of Higher Education
(KOPERTIS) as Rank A for study program on marine science which is under Fishery Faculty with
focus on technology innovation in marine science for optimal and sustainable utilization of marine
resources;3 UNIMAL has been researching soil conservation to reduce soil depletion for small
holdings and plantations; they are also developing new seed varieties that eliminate the need for
pesticides and are best suited for local soil conditions.

          Purposes of IEE

7.       The purposes of conducting this IEE are: (i) to provide the government and ADB with
information about the general environmental setting of the 7 campuses where construction will
take place; (ii) to identify the impact of the proposed construction on the bio-physical environment;
and (iii) to recommend site specific environmental mitigation measures. Based on these initial
recommendations, the IEE includes an Environmental Management Plan (EMP) to ensure that
the IEE addresses the requirements of (a) relevant Indonesian laws, regulations and (b) ADB’s
Safeguard Policy Statement (SPS), July 2009. The initial assessment of the project’s
environmental impacts has been carried out, and the project activities are not likely to have any
significant adverse impacts on the environment that cannot be mitigated through proper
management and application of good practices.

          Methodology and Approach of IEE

8.        The works include the following activities:
      •   Desk review of information such as maps, and environmental analyses previously prepared
          for the universities;
      •   Preparation of checklists for collecting project related information;
      •   Review of national and local laws/regulations and procedures relating to environment,
          health and safety, resettlement and rehabilitation, etc.;
      •   Field visits to collect data relevant to the study area; and
      •   Discussions and interviews with the relevant stakeholders including: PIU teams,
          environmental study centers at each university, lecturers, students, relevant environmental

1   AKSI will follow SPS guidelines and will use IFC EHS good practice standards for the environment.
2   A best practice document to support using these principles is being prepared financed by a grant provided through
    the Project Readiness Improvement Trust Fund. It will be available in 2018.
3   UNRI has set aside more than 50% of its campus as protected conservation land;
3

       agencies, and project-influenced community members.

9.     At the detailed engineering design stage, the Project Management Unit together with the
Project Implementation Units at each university will develop a separate IEE for each university
and seek MORTHE and ADB approval.

10.    The IEEs remain “living documents” and will subsequently be updated as and when
required. The updated versions of the document are subject to ADB and MORTHE approval.

               II.   POLICY, LEGAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE FRAMEWORK

       Environmental Laws and Regulations in Indonesia

11.      In 2014, the Ministry of the Environment and the Ministry of Forestry were merged into the
Ministry of Environment and Forestry, which is the cabinet-level government ministry responsible
for managing and conserving the nation's environment and forests. In addition, each
district/province has its own Environment Agency that is responsible to the head of district or
province. Either level can issue Environmental Permits, depending upon the scope and nature of
the proposed activities.

12.    All projects must comply with both the ADB’s SPS requirements and the review and
clearance procedures specified under Indonesia’s legal and regulatory framework for
environmental management, construction, public health and safety including those listed in this
document under Indonesian Laws and Regulations Cited in this Document (page 1): Figure 1
depicts the flow of activities needed to obtain environmental clearance in Indonesia.

13.    The Indonesian AMDAL system is almost equivalent to ADB’s SPS. An equivalence
assessment between the Indonesian system and the SPS was conducted as part of the review
process to prepare for the decision to use country safeguard systems in the energy sector in
Indonesia. Table 1 shows the results and the mitigating measures of the gaps in the project.

14.    In case there are differences, the ADB’s SPS requirements will prevail. According to
Indonesian regulations, all projects should undergo environmental clearance before proceeding
to implementation. Essentially, an AMDAL study conforms to ADB’s Environmental Impact
Assessment (EIA), while an Environmental Management Measure (UKL) and Environmental
Monitoring Measure (UPL) corresponds to an IEE. The EIA and AMDAL are somewhat equivalent,
though the criteria used for ADB’s EIA requirements categorization and those under the
Government of Indonesia’s AMDAL procedure are slightly different. Indonesian regulations
provide quite rigid quantitative criteria, while ADB relies on quantitative criteria (e.g., significance).
For example, ADB’s SPS 2009 categorizes projects based on the “significance of impacts”
whereas Indonesia’s AMDAL procedure classifies projects based on specific magnitude (length,
depth, width, size, or other physical dimensions). Table 2 indicates the relationship between
ADB’s environmental categorizations and those under Indonesia’s regulations/policies.

           Environmental Studies Required for AKSI under ADB and Indonesian Regulations

15.     Under Indonesia’s environmental protection legal and regulatory framework, the type of
environmental studies required depends upon the land area and building size; AMDAL is required
for areas >5 hectares or buildings larger than 10,000 square meters. The project preparation team
held discussions with the universities and local or regional environmental authorities to agree
upon which type of environmental study was required at each campus. When appropriate,
buildings were grouped into clusters. Table 2 provides a summary of those discussions and an
estimated date when the documentation needed for environmental clearances will be completed.
Once the documentation is completed, it is submitted to the relevant authority to receive the
approval to proceed with the next steps in the permit process. Construction of buildings under this
project will have limited adverse impact within campus area. Thus, they will be equivalently
characterized into category B of ADB’s SPS. All cost associated to the implementation of
UKL/UPL will be borne by the university, as part of the cost for construction permit.

4   To manage legacies, the government of Indonesia has put a provision in place for companies and entities who got a
     business permit before environmental audits were mandatory and who had not yet done such an audit. These
     companies and entities need to do an environmental audit process and obtain an Environmental Evaluation
     Document (DELH) which contains environmental management and monitoring specifications. (Prior to Law No.
     32/2009, DELH was not mandatory. To implement Law No. 32/2009, the Minister of Environment issued Regulation
     No. 14/2010 explaining how Environmental Evaluation Documents should be prepared by the business company or
     Government entity in order to meet the requirements of DELH. In the Regulation No. 14/2010, it specifies that
     environmental documents can be prepared in the form of DPLH (Dokumen Pengelolahan Lingkungan Hidup or
     Environmental Management Document) or DELH (Dokumen Evaluasi Lingkungan Hidup or Environmental
     Evaluation Document). Further, UKL-UPL is considered equivalent to DPLH, while AMDAL is equivalent to DELH. In
     case a DELH is already prepared by an entity for the full campus, preparing an Addendum can be considered if
     additional buildings are added.

                              III.    DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT

        Project Overview

16.    AKSI’s envisioned scope of work entails three categories of activities: (i) Development of
teaching and research facilities, supporting infrastructures, and procurement of equipment; (ii)
Development and improvement of the quality of human resources, including degree and non-
degree programs for lecturers and university staff; (iii) Development of academic curriculum,
applied research, and services, with an aligned management system in a specific focus area,
which is referred to as development of center of excellence.

20.    The Executing Agency for the project is the Ministry of Research, Technology, and Higher
Education (MORTHE) and the Implementing Agencies are the four universities. Within MORTHE,
the key unit for the AKSI implementation will be the Project Management Unit (PMU) established
to manage and implement project/subprojects wholly at the national level. Under the MORTHE
PMU, Project Implementation Units (PIU) will be established in each university to act as the
Implementing Agencies (IA) that will manage and implement subprojects on a day-to-day basis.

          Need for Project

21.     Indonesia’s public universities are in need of capital improvements. In 2018, the gross
enrollment rate (GER) for HE in Indonesia was 31.2%, up from 14.9% in 2000. The number of
general5 universities expanded from 46 to 63 between 2005 and 2017 an increase of 37%, while
enrollment expanded by 207% during the same period. The rapid expansion of the public
university system was not matched by capital improvements sufficient to keep up with rising
demand. Shortages of lecturers with appropriate qualifications made it difficult for universities to
improve their performance, and many public universities hired temporary lecturers. Nearly 60,000
lecturers--permanent civil-service (PNS) and temporary non-civil service (non-PNS) lecturers--
teach in public universities. Approximately 3% of PNS and 14% of non-PNS lecturers have
Bachelor degrees as their highest credential, 66% of PNS and 68% of non-PNS have Masters
degrees and 31% of PNS and 18% of non PNS have PhDs.

22.     The government seeks to expand enrollment, upgrade quality and improve the relevance
of public universities to provide highly skilled professionals needed to support regional growth. In
addition, the Government also seeks to develop ‘World-Class Universities’, meaning institutions with
research capacity in science and technology, which are seen as necessary to achieve current and
future national goals.

23.    Public investment in higher education infrastructure has not been able to keep pace with
the expansion and the increasing number and types of programs offered. Most public universities
need additional and modern facilities that offer the quality and types of study programs needed to
support the Government of Indonesia (GOI’s) plans for economic growth and diversification. The
GOI’s higher education strategy includes upgrading public universities in terms of expanding the
enrollments by building new classrooms, laboratories, data centers, libraries, and faculty and
administration buildings.

24.     The four universities in the AKSI project have prepared a detailed justification for each
building including usage and size of each building, floor by floor. Building design complies with
existing regulations and standards and makes conscious effort to use best practices for: (i)
improving climate-change responsiveness (both in terms of adaptation and mitigation), (ii)
increasing cost-efficiency over a building’s life cycle to justify costs associated with construction
costs for ‘green’ buildings, and (ii) strengthening the overall academic environment, including
safe, sustainable and gender responsive campuses.

          Category of Project

25.    The government understands that the ADB classifies AKSI as Environment Category B, a
category that requires an IEE study level document. This categorization means that the project is
expected to have some adverse impacts that can be mitigated locally, and mitigation measures

     Ministry of Religious Affairs.

26.    The project/subprojects are located at four (4) sites: UNIMAL in Aceh Province, UNRI
in Riau Province, and UNJA in Jambi Province, three universities in Sumatera Island; and
UPI in the City of Bandung in West Java Province. In annex 1 details of the buildings are
presented, including, among others, location, site plan, building function, and pictures of
proposed location.

27.   UNIMAL. Infrastructure and human resource improvement in UNIMAL is expected to
enable the university to establish a Center of Excellence (CoE) for Applied Innovation and
Technology in Agriculture. The project will be implemented in two campuses, Bukit Indah and
Reuleut Campuses, which are located in the City of Lhokseumawe and North Aceh District,
respectively, both are entirely located on land belonging to the university.

28.    UNRI. The project will take place in the main campus area of the University of Riau,
Binawidya Campus, at Jalan H.R. Soebrantas Km 12.5, in Pekanbaru City. All the new
buildings proposed in the UNRI proposal located on university owned land.

6   The Project is classified as environmental category B with the following justification: (i) Scale and size of the Project:
     where the building footprint ranges from 0.7% to 4.7% of the campus area, (ii) Construction and the associated
     impacts: where construction size is relatively small, so that the impact generated by the construction activities will be
     relatively small and can be readily mitigated to acceptable levels using available methods; and (iii) sensitivity of the
     environment: where there are no sensitive environment components such as occurrence of sensitive habitat in the
     project area and its surrounding (forests, swamps, protected areas, national park, nature reserves, wildlife reserves)
     and sensitive species (protected species, endemic species, endangered species according to government
     classification as well as IUCN Red List).

34.    The unfinished building (the administration building) will undergo a structural assessment
conducted by the engineering firm recruited by ADB from July to September 2018,7 and the
confirmation issued by the local Public Works Office statement that there are no major issues
preventing the continuation of the construction to complete the unfinished building. The
procurement plan includes separate re-design consulting services (funded by PNBP) and
construction (funded by ADB-loan). Procurement can only start after clearance from MORTHE
and ADB.

35.     UNIMAL plans to complete construction of the unfinished General Lectures Buildings (A)
and (B) using its own funds to ensure that sufficient facilities are available for students. UNIMAL
will make every reasonable effort to complete the construction of lecture building (A) by 2022 and
commence completion of lecture building (B) by 2022. UNIMAL includes progress of completion
of these buildings as part of project progress reporting. Completion of these buildings is not part
of the project scope, however any potential impact will be monitored as part of the environmental
management plan and reported on through the environmental monitoring report.
