Title : Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices Survey in North and East Kalimantan, Indonesia
Procurement No. : 100013230
Process : RFP
Description : GGGI Indonesia Country Office is inviting firms and entities to submit their proposals for the following scope of work:

Important Note: Research/marketing firm with all requisite qualifications/certifications as required under Indonesian law/regulations.

PROJECT BACKGROUND:
Through the Ecosystem-Based Approaches/Nature-Based Solutions for Climate-Smart Livelihoods in Mangrove Landscapes (NASCLIM) project, GGGI supports the Government of Indonesia’s commitment to addressing the rapid deforestation of mangrove forests. The NASCLIM project began in March 2023 and has a maximum duration of five years. Funded by the Government of Canada, NASCLIM has worked with the Peatland and Mangrove Restoration Agency (BRGM) and the Ministry of Forestry to rehabilitate degraded mangrove forests and protect healthy mangrove ecosystems in the Kayan-Sembakung Delta (North Kalimantan) and the Mahakam Delta (East Kalimantan) using ecosystem-based approaches and nature-based solutions. Following recent changes in government, GGGI is currently finalizing a technical agreement for NASCLIM with the Ministry of Forestry.

By restoring natural tidal flows and promoting sustainable fishing and aquaculture, the project will strengthen coastal resilience and empower vulnerable communities, especially women. It also seeks to equip policymakers with tools to drive policy reforms that incentivize long-term mangrove protection and rehabilitation. NASCLIM will serve as a scalable model, inspiring sustainable change in mangrove management across Indonesia and beyond.

One of NASCLIM’s expected outcomes is to inspire behavior change in the replication of sustainable pond management, one that does not obstruct the existing mangrove forests and requires minimal to no planting. Collective mangrove resource management among local coastal communities and local government stakeholders in the two provinces is imperative, and they are not always in an equal relationship. Communication between the two groups is not always facilitated, and misunderstandings often happen, leading to jurisdictional and tenure conflicts at the village level. Knowledge of traditional management practices vs. formal governance approaches should also be assessed in order to establish collaborative management.

On the other hand, representatives of coastal communities do not always have sufficient access to information about climate change and the importance of mangroves as one of the key climate solutions to be able to engage in the decisions that will affect their lives and livelihoods.

Thus, the NASCLIM project seeks to conduct a locally representative assessment of mangrove protection rehabilitation awareness to inform awareness raising and capacity building needs for various stakeholders. The assessment results will be used to develop a communications campaign strategy that aims to increase awareness of mangrove protection and rehabilitation efforts and navigate communication between diverse target groups. There will be parallel surveys for community members and government officials, with questions framed from each perspective to identify misalignments.

OBJECTIVE OF THE ASSIGNMENT:
Thus, GGGI seeks the services of a firm to conduct a local representative survey of mangrove protection and rehabilitation efforts amongst key target groups that make up the population of six villages in North and East Kalimantan, where NASCLIM works. The survey will serve as a baseline for the current understanding of such efforts and will be used to inform future awareness-raising and capacity-building activities, and instill behavior change at the community level.

The survey will also be crucial for identifying gaps and building bridges between local communities, government stakeholders, and policymakers so that all stakeholders achieve collaborative mangrove management. The selected Service Provider shall carry out primary and secondary data collection using qualitative and quantitative methods (including development of data collection tools and sampling methodology) and analyze the data and present the results.
