5.4.1 Institutional Arrangements at the Program Level
At the provincial level, the responsible party for ERP implementation is the Provincial Secretary (Sekda Provinsi Kaltim), with the Provincial Environmental Agency (Dinas Lingkungan Hidup) acting as coordinator or undertaking day-to-day management of the ER Program. During implementation of the ERP the Sekda will be advised by the Provincial Climate Change Council (Dewan Daerah Perubahan Iklim-DDPI).
The Regional Council on Climate Change (DDPI) in East Kalimantan Province is a key partner in the implementation of the ER Program. DDPI is a multi-stakeholder organization that has coordinated the planning and implementation of low-emission development in East Kalimantan Province. It has significant experience (as well as operational infrastructure) in the management of donor development funding. A list of institutions and their respective roles are provided in Table 7, while the institutional arrangement is shown in Figure 3.

Detailed institutional arrangements for the ERP at the district/city level can be seen in Figure 6.3. At the village level, the village government, including the local community, is responsible for emission reductions in their village region.
Figure 4 Institutional arrangements of ERP at the District/City Level.
5.4.2 Institutional Arrangements at the Activity Level
Institutional arrangements for ESMF implementation comprise of a three-tier system, i.e. district/city, provincial, and national levels. The ESMF will be implemented by the various agencies at each of these levels. The main implementing agencies will be the PMU at the national level and the Program Implementing Units or Program Implementing Agencies (PIU/PIA) which will be the provincial taskforce with extension units at the district levels. The key elements and responsibilities of project implementation, stages and actions pertaining to application of safeguards framework are outlined in Table 8. The commitment of Bappeda (Development Planning Agency) of East Kalimantan to incorporate the ERP and allocation of budget in the provincial planning process is a good example of an institutional arrangement. Additionally, budget for Resettlement Planning Framework (RPF) and Process Framework (PF) needs to be considered in the overall allocation for Safeguard implementation. Should either RPF or PF be not required, this budget allocation needs to be revised through revision of state budget, before October each year. Revisions may include: cut-off from the total budget, or re-allocation to other safeguard components.
