KI intends to commission a national-level feasibility study to assess the applicability, readiness, and operationalization of Public–Private Partnership (PPP) schemes for Marine Protected Area (MPA) management in Indonesia. The study will be conducted at the national level, and the feasibility of proposed PPP approaches will be assessed and validated through selected locations, namely Sawo Lahewa MPA at North Sumatra Province and Selat Bunga Laut MPA at West Sumatra Province.
The assignment will analyze the evolving regulatory and policy landscape for PPP and conservation, assess institutional readiness and financing gaps within the national MPA system, and identify viable PPP model options tailored to conservation and stewardship functions rather than physical infrastructure. The study will place particular emphasis on governance arrangements, role-sharing mechanisms, administrative pathways, safeguards, and potential non-state revenue streams consistent with Indonesia’s regulatory framework.
Through analytical work and structured stakeholder consultations, the study will generate practical recommendations and implementation pathways to support MMAF in preparing for the adoption of conservation-focused PPP mechanisms. The outputs of this assignment are expected to inform national policy discussions, support regulatory alignment, and provide MMAF with an evidence-based foundation for operationalizing PPP schemes as part of Indonesia’s long-term sustainable ocean and marine resource management agenda.
