Promoting Local Development in Indonesia

Our local development projects in Indonesia involve different areas. From ensuring access to potable water for residents of Muara Jawa and Samboja districts in East Kalimantan Province, to waste management education and training for local farmers in the Joglo Tani Kolong Langit (JTKL) centre. Our aim is to improve the quality of life of communities while protecting the environment.

The offshore fields of Jangkrik and Merakes in the country are important for natural gas supplies due to their strategic location. With our activities in this area, we help to ensure a fair and equitable transition that combines new energy sources with environmental protection and local development initiatives to support the population, with the aim of creating long-term value.

Project actions and objectives

Drinking water, a priority

The programme we are developing in the districts of Muara Jawa and Samboja, East Kalimantan Province, by drilling wells and supplying reservoirs, provides drinking water through a water pipeline of over 700 metres. We also conduct training programmes to highlight the importance of access to clean water and good practices to raise awareness among project beneficiaries.

Environment and biodiversity protection

In the Muara Jawa and Samboja area, a project to improve environmental quality involves planting fruit trees in the Samboja area, launching awareness campaigns on the importance of preserving biodiversity, and highlighting the crucial role of trees in reducing emissions and improving community health. Other campaigns focus on proper waste management. In the Muara Jawa area, we worked with a local contractor and authorities to rehabilitate a landfill site to convert plastic and organic waste into biofuel.

Agricultural training for the local community

The Joglo Tani Kolong Langit (JTKL) training centre is a reference point for those who want to improve their skills in integrated production. Agriculture is one of the main occupations in Samboja. Thanks to JTKL, local farmers have the opportunity to learn and share new techniques regarding vegetable cultivation and garden management, so that they can better meet their daily family needs independently.

The importance of proper waste management

Clean, Green and Healthy Samboja is a pilot project initiated by the local government with our cooperation, with the aim of ensuring a complete life cycle in waste management. Its special feature is that it has created a virtuous competition between local communities, who are called upon to keep their home environment clean and encourage neighbouring communities to do the same. With almost 70,000 inhabitants, Samboja is the third most populous catchment area in the Kutai Kartanegara regency in East Kalimantan Province. Raising awareness of the importance of this issue is crucial in order to protect the environment and the hygienic conditions of residents.
