1. Inter-local government cooperation

Best practices publication :
9 editions books have been released, some of them on sustainable cities.
 Best practice transfer program
In partnership among 5 Asean countries , 4 Indonesian
municipalities DELGOSEA (Pangkalpinang, Tarakan, Wakatobi
and Kupang) replicated other cities in other Asean countries on
the sustainable practices : eco saver (waste bank), low carbon
city and marine culture
Cooperation with Mercy Corps Ind , facilitating replication
process of Semarang good practices on resilient of climate
change in 6 cities (Palembang, Cirebon, Probolinggo, Blitar,
Pekalongan and Tarakan)
Inter-local government cooperation :
SYMBIOCITY
In partnership among 2 Indonesian cities and 2
Swedish cities, Ministry of Public Work, Ministry
of Environment, SKL International (international
cooperation of Swedish local gov association)
and APEKSI, facilitating exchange and learning
the sustainable city through SymbioCity
approach.
SymbioCity is an approach with integrated
thinking, the way and multi stakeholders
involvement to achieve a sustainable
development
It is relevant approach to Indonesian
municipalities which are have diver characters,
aspect (culture, language, ethnic, etc)
SYMBIOCITY : the Result
The one year program has produced the proposal
of Palu and Probolinggo on sustainable city, the
proposals are ready to market to potential
partners (donor agency, government and
private). Probolinggo and Helsingborg has
proposed the further municipal partnership to
ICLD (Swedish International Centre for Local
Democracy), as well as Palu and Borås.
One of the good practice of this program is waste
to energy. Palu and Probolinggo have the
appropriate landfill which are ready to produce
the energy. Palu is ready to launch the Biogas.
Probolinggo has a lot of utilization of waste at the
landfill : composting, reuse for other goods, gas
production for the small scale.
Lesson Learnt : SYMBIOCITY
The Success factors
Commitment of each partner, especially the main cities
partner (Palu , Borås, Probolinggo and Helsingborg) ,
inline with local needs/program and discussion
mechanism (working group and steering committee).
The challenges
A burden of local program (time management),
coordination/communication both at the local and
among the partners and improve the people
partisipation.
The advice for Indonesian-Swedish cooperation
To work with the Indonesian municipalities : APEKSI (we
as representative of them)
Have to collaborate with Government of Indonesia
(central government)
Should to understand the cycles of working program and
budget period of Indonesian government especially at
the local.
