Synopsis (short abstract) In the past few years FAO Indonesia has been operating in a changing external and internal environment: (a) FAO has already established its Strategic Objectives, after a comprehensive reform process, taking a programmatic, decentralized and regional approach to dealing with the global challenges in supporting member countries in their efforts on food and nutrition security, climate change and shaping the overall future of agriculture; (b) Indonesia is a middle income developing country, reaching the Millennium Development Goal on hunger reduction achieving 6% average annual growth for the last 10 years; (c) traditional donors have also changed their approach and are considered as resource partners in accomplishing common interests and objectives with Government and the UN System; (d) Government of Indonesia has made efforts to set its objectives and show its commitment to implement South-South Cooperation. Being one of the most disaster prone countries on earth, Indonesia's natural env ironment, more specifically biodiversity, has come under pressure with visible effects of climate change being experienced. Food security has been high on the policy agenda; with 240 million mouths to feed with limited and already degraded natural resources. There is an obvious need for a strong partnership to match the priorities, resources and objectives of the government, resource partners and FAO to maximise our joint concerted efforts to support Indonesia and other countries in the region. During recent years FAO Programmes and projects in Indonesia have operated within this framework. Our contribution is focused more on technical support for policy advocacy, in addition to some disaster risk reduction and rehabilitation projects and the ECTAD (Emergency Centre for Transboundary Animal Diseases) and Emerging Pandemic Threats Programme and some FAO regional programmes and projects. FAO brings its long standing expertise and experience to provide technical support to the government through integrated programmes and projects, along with policy support guidelines and tools. Our joint country program with the Indonesian Government, currently called the National Medium Term Priority Framework will be renewed as the Country Programming Framework (CPF) next year. FAO Indonesia's contribution has been mainly in the form of technical cooperation for policy advocacy and emergency assistance with the involvement of our regional office and Headquarters. This booklet covers some of o ur activities within the changing environment and we hope it will be a useful reference on FAO Indonesia.

    In accordance with the FAO' organization policy, Indonesia was one of piloting countries in Asia and the Pacific Region in preparing the National Medium-Term Priority Framework (NMTPF) for Indonesia's External Assistance in the Agriculture Sectors 2010-2014. Such document is in line with the Government(GOI)'s National Medium Term Development Plan (NMTDP) for 2010-2014. The NMTPF is drafted in the form of a comprehensive Agriculture Development Framework by all parties including international or ganizations and resources partners. NMTPF is also a living document that can be reviewed and/or revised as necessary during the period of 2010-2014. At the end of 2012, the government entered mid-term review stage of NMTPF document leading by National Development Planning Agency (Bappenas) in close cooperation with technical ministries: Ministry of Agriculture (MoA), Ministry of Forestry (MoF) and the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries (MMAF). The objective of the activity is to do the fo rmative evaluation on the NMTPF implementation progress and reviewing its Strategic Priority Areas (SPAs) against the current government strategic plan and policy. The review result is more focusing on amended SPA in line with the current national agricultural development priorities. Upon the endorsement by the Government of Indonesia, the NMTPF review report was endorsed by the Assistant of Director General/Regional Representative of Asia and the Pacific at the end of March, on behalf of FAO. I would like to express my appreciation for the remarkable collaboration of the Directorate of Multilateral Funding in Bappenas, for all the hard work they put into making the review process a success. Appreciation is also extended to the respected staff of the MoA, MoF, MMAF and technical directorates of Bappenas to their valuable contribution during the review process. We also indebted to the consultant and our colleagues from FAO Regional Office who worked effectively to finalize the report in close consultation with the government. I wish that the NMTPF review document will benefit to the Government of Indonesia in mobilizing the resources from development partners based on prioritized SPAs as a response to the dynamic economic, social, political and global change in agricultural sector. In line with the FAO's Country Programming Guidelines – Policy and Principle, the Country/Decentralized Office in close collaboration with the Government will prepare and transform the NMTPF into the Country Programming Framework (CFP) at the end of 2014. In this regard, the current NMTPF would be an important contribution not only as background inputs in developing the Country Programming Framework (CPF) of 2015-2020 but also for the National Medium Term Development Plan (NMTDP) of the Government of Indonesia and the United Nations Partnership Development Framework (UNPDF).
