Introduction Starting 2010, we develop a national MPA system based on management effectiveness (with support of donors and partners NGOs). The national MPA system also guide us on how to achieve the commitment. Government of Indonesia has committed to set aside 20 million hectares, in 2020, of its coastal and marine environment for conservation purposes.

PROGRESS It has a ‘management effectiveness’ component  consists of E- KKP3K/E-MPA tool; management effectiveness assessment database; and practice of periodic self- and by- outside-parties evaluations. It also has capacity building component (MPA planning and management; MPA monitoring & evaluation). Both to achieve MPA Award and receive incentives from National MPA Trust Fund.

In 2013, of 15,76 million ha marine conservation area, 3.6 million ha are projected to be effectively managed.

E-MPA Awards Objectives: (1)to give incentives to MPA management unit; and (2)to encourage MPA management units to improve their performance (thus their effectiveness). The award will be presented every two-year, and the inaugural event was held in December 17, The awards were consisted of 1 for special category (MPA favorite); 5 for successful pilot MPAs; and 17 for accelerated MPA development. We strongly believe that this award had encouraged change of status of several MPAs

Trust Fund for MPA Development One of many challenges facing by MPA development in Indonesia is limited funding; in many cases they are insufficient to support effective management of MPA. National MPA Trust Fund aims at making available the needed fund to compliment existing fund and directed specifically for program development, implementation and management. It is still on its infancy and we are still looking the best approach for the mechanisms (although a presidential regulation on trust fund is already available, i.e. PerPres RI No. 80/2011 on Trust Fund).
