JAKARTA
Program Summary:
Tanimbar Islands are a group of 65 islands in the south east of Maluku province, Indonesia.
The largest island of the group is Yamdena with Saumlaki as the administrative capital, located on the south end of the island. The development of a natural gas field on the offshore and onshore Tanimbar Islands area in Maluku Province will provide opportunities for local economic development and improved infrastructure. It could also lead to the potential relocation of a number of families from some of the coastal areas as well as major transformation on the social and economic side of the communities. Among the 65 islands in Tanimbar Islands, at least five of the islands are expected to be most directly affected by the Gas Plant and other supporting exploration activities. Most of the households will be physically and conomically affected by the project developments. Responding to this development is critical not only to meet the immediate needs of the affected communities themselves, but also to prepare them for the potential transformation of the neighborhood in the coming years. Mercy Corps will conduct a participatory needs assessment with the communities in the affected areas of Tanimbar Islands. The purpose of this assessment is to gain a better understanding of the poverty levels in the target villages, opportunities and challenges, as well as to recommend future interventions, which will be in line with the needs of the community, have the support of local government, are sustainable and have a broad measurable impact in the community.
