"Groundwater is invisible, but its impact is visible everywhere."
The UNESCO Water Resilience Challenge is a capacity-building program that challenges and inspires the next future leaders, especially students and young professionals from various backgrounds, to contribute ideas and concepts for their version of sustainable water management in biosphere reserve areas. This year marks the second year of the UNESCO Water Resilience Challenge with the theme of Groundwater.
Fifty selected participants from Indonesia and Vietnam will be put into teams, exchanging knowledge, mentored by professionals, and challenged to make the invisible visible! One winning team from each country will be invited to present their ideas at UNESCO International Conferences.
Introduction: Welang Basin
As one of the major river basins in East Java which has caused continuous flood challenges, Welang river basin is uniquely located in three administrative areas; Malang Regency, Pasuruan Regency, and Pasuruan City. The upstream region is located between Malang and Pasuruan Regency, the midstream is in the Pasuruan Regency, while the downstream is in Pasuruan City. Due to the various technical and social factors, it has been continuously flooding and caused a halt in the economic activities. Each section of Welang river, from upstream to downstream, has its own thematic challenges.
This page is dedicated to be the engagement platform between stakeholders in Welang River Basin and to share the Master Plan progress with wider audiences.
Pendahuluan: DAS Welang
Sebagai salah satu DAS utama di Jawa Timur yang kerap mengalami permasalahan banjir, DAS Welang secara unik terletak di tiga wilayah administratif; Kabupaten Malang, Kabupaten Pasuruan, dan Kota Pasuruan. Wilayah hulu terletak di antara Kabupaten Malang dan Pasuruan, bagian tengah di Kabupaten Pasuruan, sedangkan bagian hilir berada di Kota Pasuruan. Karena berbagai faktor teknis dan sosial, maka banjir seringkali menyebabkan terhentinya kegiatan perekonomian. Setiap ruas sungai Welang, dari hulu hingga hilir, memiliki tantangan tematiknya masing-masing.
Halaman ini didedikasikan untuk menjadi media interaksi antara pemangku kepentingan di DAS Welang dan untuk berbagi kemajuan Rencana Induk kepada khalayak yang lebih luas.

OUR MISSION is to accelerate the delivery of safe water and sanitation through partnerships that catalyze financial support and innovations for sustainable solutions.
Founded in 2006 as an independent 501(c)3 organization, GWC works to raise awareness on our global water challenges and shine a light on effective solutions across developing world markets. Today, GWC has expanded its network of leading water sector NGOs and Fortune 100 companies to create innovative and sustainable partnerships that fund a number of high-impact WASH initiatives across the globe.
Innovative, solutions- and service- oriented, we work across a range of areas that contribute to the progression of water management worldwide. Our programmes develop research and projects focused on solutions for water and wastewater management; we organise world-class events that bring the latest science, technology and best practice to the water sector at large; we work to place water on the global political agenda and to influence best practice in regulation and policy making; and we provide services to IWA’s global membership.
We work with an international network of dam-affected people, grassroots organizations, environmentalists, human rights advocates and others who are committed to stopping destructive river projects and promoting better options.
We seek a world where healthy rivers and the rights of local communities are valued and protected. We envision a world where water and energy needs are met without degrading nature or increasing poverty, and where people have the right to participate in decisions that affect their lives.
Based in four continents, our staff has expertise in big dams, energy and water policy, climate change, and international financial institutions. We support partner organizations and dam-affected people by providing advice, training and technical assistance, and advocating on their behalf with governments, banks, companies and international agencies. The focus of our work is in Latin America, Asia and Africa.

Green Growth Program Indonesia is implemented jointly by the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI) and the Government of Indonesia through the Ministry of National Development Planning/National Development Planning Agency (Bappenas). The Program, officially known as ’GoI-GGGI Green Growth Program’ is led by Bappenas and involves a number of national ministries and sub-national governments (the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, the Ministry of Environment and Forestry, Coordinating Ministry of Economic Affairs and National Council on Special Economic Zones, Provincial Government of Kalimantan Tengah and Kalimantan Timur).
Green Growth Program supports Indonesia in achieving green growth that simultaneously achieves poverty reduction, social inclusion, environmental sustainability and resource efficiency.
The Government of Indonesia (GoI) has set a goal to become one of the top ten largest economies in the world by 2025, and recognizes that to achieve this goal in a socially inclusive and environmentally sustainable way, Indonesia will need to shift from its traditional growth model toward a green growth pathway.
The joint GoI and GGGI goal is:
"Indonesia achieves green growth that is socially inclusive, environmentally sustainable and resource efficient."
To achieve this goal, the Program Phase I (2013 - 2015) is delivered under three components:
Comp 1: Green Growth mainstreamed in planning processes, with three sub-components; 1A) mainstreaming Green Growth in the overall planning process; 1B) mainstreaming Green Growth in the MP3EI/Capital Projects; and 1C) driving investment towards green technologies or often referred to as GIMS (green industry mapping strategy)
Comp 2: REDD+ for Green Growth; and
Comp 3: prioritizing and implementing Green Growth at provincial and district levels (Central and East Kalimantan)
Capacity building is cross-cutting
The Phase II Program (2016 - 2019) has four focus sectors:
Energy
Sustainable Landscapes
Infrastructure in Special Economic Zones
Cross Sectoral
The overall objectives of this program are to develop strategies to integrate green growth goals, concepts, methods, tools, and practices into development planning, identify short, medium, and long term needs to design, plan, and implement interventions that can drive green growth and generate capacity, tools and case studies to facilitate the mainstreaming of green growth into national socio-economic development planning.

IFAD's current results-based country strategic opportunities programme (2016-2019) aims to support inclusive rural transformation so rural people can achieve sustainable livelihoods.

The emphasis is on empowering marginalized groups including smallholder farmers and fisheries producers, women and woman-headed households, marginal communities and ethnic minorities in selected geographic areas, and youth.
The specific focused areas are control of tuberculosis, HIV/AIDS, malaria, vaccine preventable diseases, mental health, injuries prevention, nutrition and prevention of noncommunicable diseases. Other collaboration areas include developing he quality of mother and child care, healthy ageing, food safety, human resources, medicines, health systems information, international health regulations, epidemic, pandemic disease and emergencies response.
