Baseline evaluation and climate risk assessment for IKI Small Grant: Youth-led initiatives for gender-responsive climate action and participation in marginalized communities programme

1. About Plan Indonesia

Yayasan Plan International Indonesia (Plan Indonesia) aims to reach as 3 million girls, particularly those who are excluded or marginalized with high quality programmes that deliver long lasting benefits by increasing its income, working in partnership with others and operating effectively. Please see http://plan-international.org/about-plan for Plan's strategy.

Plan Indonesia is presently implementing its country strategic 5 (CS5), where the country objective has been defined as Plan Indonesia will address critical child rights and gender equality issues that prevent marginalised children and youth, particularly girls and young women, from transitioning from home, through school and into decent work. This goal will be achieved by providing technical support and implementing quality programs and projects to support citizens out of poverty.

Plan Indonesia has been working to support youth in their diversity through direct funding for more than 20 youth organisations to improve their access to education, technology and entrepreneurship. Plan Indonesia also advocates for youth as green influencers for climate change.

2. About IKI Small Grants

The International Climate Initiative (IKI) Small Grants (hereafter referred to as the ‘IKI') is a commitment to strengthen climate and biodiversity action worldwide by the German Federal Government. The IKI supports climate change mitigations, adaptation, forest and biodiversity conservation projects internationally. IKI Small Grants is implemented by Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH. More on IKI Small Grants https://iki-small-grants.de/about-the-programme/.

The IKI Small Grants in Indonesia (hereafter referred to as the ‘Programme') is delivered by Plan Indonesia and Plan International Germany with the support from GIZ and The German Ministries of BMWK, AA and BMUV. The programme aims to improve the capacity climate resiliency of youth in Indonesia, especially for girls and persons with disability through strengthening youth-led and gender responsive climate initiative in climate change vulnerable areas especially in water, agriculture and coastal conservation.  This programme seeks to bridge these gaps by creating official mechanisms for youth leadership in gender-responsive climate adaptation, empowering youth-led initiatives, especially from marginalized communities, through transparent calls for proposals, capacity-building, and sustained support. By investing in their leadership, the programme will tackle climate impacts, challenge restrictive gender norms, and ensure that the unique insights and needs of young people are fully integrated into Indonesia's climate-resilient development and enhanced Nationally Determined Commitments (NDC).

The programme will be implemented in four districts in the province of East Nusa Tenggara over two cohorts. Cohort One includes Nagekeo and Manggarai districts, and Cohort Two includes Lembata and Timor Tengah Selatan (TTS) district. The programme will be carried out over a period of 36 months, with each cohort lasting approximately 18 months. The programme is also known as ‘Youth-led initiatives for gender-responsive climate action and participation in marginalized communities'.

The programme is built on two outputs to achieve one outcome:Outcome: Climate resilience capacity of local young leaders in Indonesia are strengthened through mainstreaming youth-led and gender responsive initiatives in local communities. Outcome indicator 1: local young leaders, particularly women and youth with disabilities, demonstrate % increase in capacity to apply climate mitigation, adaptation, advocacy, and campaign in specific areas. Target: 270 young leaders (60% girls, 3% people with disabilities) with 80% of average increase in capacity by the end of the programme.Outcome indicator 2: climate resilience and mitigation actions are submitted and discussed with village governments in the 4 districtsTarget: 60 action plans are developed, 24 of them are submitted and discussed. The programme comprises two funding lines: support for individual leaders and support for youth-, women-, and disability-led organisation to implement climate adaptation and mitigation. The programme plans to work with 150 youth and 60 youth-led organisations across four districts and Plan Indonesia Youth Network (PlaNet).

3. About the evaluation

To kickstart the programme, a baseline evaluation incorporating a thorough climate risk assessment and an embedded GESI analysis is required to provide a comprehensive overview and meaningful insights into the programme. The evaluation comprises of two main parts: baseline evaluation and climate risk assessment with embedded GESI analysis. The evaluation will produce two separate reports: baseline report and climate risk assessment report.

3.1. Baseline evaluation

A baseline study is essential for this programme because it establishes the starting point for understanding the current capacity, participation, and challenges faced by adolescents and young people, especially girls and youth with disabilities in climate action. Despite being among the most affected by climate change and recognized as potential leaders in adaptation and mitigation, youth in Indonesia remain largely excluded from climate decision-making due to systemic barriers such as gender norms, limited access to resources, and sex, age, disability-based marginalization. Without a clear picture of their existing knowledge, skills, and involvement in local climate initiatives, it would be difficult to measure progress, assess the effectiveness of programme interventions, or ensure accountability to the targeted outcomes. The baseline will therefore provide critical evidence on youth capacities, gender and social inclusion gaps, and community perceptions, which will guide programme strategies, inform adaptive management, and serve as the benchmark for tracking improvements in youth leadership and climate resilience over the course of the 36-month implementation.

The baseline evaluation aims to measure initial indicators before implementing intervention. The result of the evaluation will serve as the baseline values for the programme implementation. Similar approach in this evaluation will be repeated to collect information on midline or endline of programme implementation. While the programme's logframe includes only one outcome with two indicators, this baseline will go beyond narrow measurement. It is designed to provide a comprehensive picture of the starting conditions across key thematic areas the programme touches: youth climate capacity, gender equality and social inclusion (GESI), safeguards and climate risks, local policy and regulatory alignment. Please refer to IKI Gender Guidelines.

3.2. risk assessment

A climate risk assessment (CRA) is necessary to establish a comprehensive understanding of the geographical, hydrological, and climatic context of the programme areas and to identify the key hazards, vulnerabilities, and climate exposure of local and marginalized communities, particularly girls, young women, and those with disabilities. The four target districts: Manggarai, Nagekeo, Timor Tengah Selatan (TTS), and Lembata are located in East Nusa Tenggara, a province already known for its semi-arid climate, long dry seasons, and high exposure to extreme weather events such as droughts, floods, landslides, and coastal hazards. Historical and projected climate data show worsening trends of declining rainfall, rising temperatures, and prolonged dry spells, which severely threaten agriculture, water resources, and livelihoods, especially for marginalized groups. Without a clear baseline of these risks, planning and implementing effective, gender-responsive, and youth-led adaptation strategies would lack precision and evidence. The CRA therefore provides the foundation for identifying priority vulnerabilities, guiding programme interventions, and ensuring that youth-driven climate action is aligned with local realities and provincial climate projections

The climate risk assessment (CRA) will cover regional risk-screening assessment, with deeper look on youth and its intersectionality vulnerability. The CRA is guided by the Climate Risk Sourcebook[1].

The assessment will derive from the IPCC Climate Impact Chain or Risk Propeller (see figure 1.1) and the inherently complex nature of climate risks as identified in AR6[1]. The report should build upon the interaction of climate change impact, where “risks result from dynamic interactions between climate-related hazards with the exposure and vulnerability of the affected human or ecological system to the hazards. Hazards, exposure and vulnerability may each be subject to uncertainty in terms of magnitude and likelihood of occurrence, and each may change over time and space due to socio-economic changes and human decision-making”[2]. Therefore, the assessment should discuss: climate hazards, exposure and

vulnerability (including sensitivity and capacity) and the complexities of risks that vary across communities and the intersecting inequalities with multiple context-based factors such as cultural value, gender, ability, religion and ethnicity. The assessment should also make an attempt to collect indigenous and local knowledge. The assessment will lay the groundwork for youth's climate initiatives, and provide recommendation for area of focus in the initiatives.

Table 1 is an attempt to conduct CRA scoping, however, further refinement of system and subsystem may occur during risk identification. The CRA will then focus on the identified key risks on each districts.

3.3. Evaluation Objectives

The objectives of this evaluation is to:

1. collect baseline information on outcome indicator 1 & 2, and provide in-depth analysis of the baseline situation
2. assess climate risks in four districts to identify key risks, hazards, exposure and vulnerability of climate change.
3. identify how youth and marginalised groups and their intersectionality affected by, and how youth can act upon climate change.

The purpose of this evaluation is to:

1. Baseline: Collect baseline information on the programme, which will serve as a reference point for comparison with the endline in order to measure progress.
2. Climate Risk Assessment: Identify and analyze climate risks in each district, providing a foundation for youth-led initiatives aimed at reducing these risks.

3.4. Report Users

The primary users of this report are:

(1) GIZ and IKI Small Grants, (2) Plan International Germany (GNO), (3) Plan Indonesia, (4) National Development Planning Agency of the Republic of Indonesia (Bappenas), (5) Government of Manggarai, Nagekeo, TTS and Lembata District.

This report will be shared with GIZ and Bappenas to inform future IKI programming in climate resilience and GESI. Selected findings may be presented at local policy forums or published.

3.5. Evaluation Questions

For the baseline outcome, the evaluation questions are:

1. What is the current level of capacity among local young leaders, particularly young women and youth with disabilities, in understanding and applying climate mitigation, adaptation, advocacy, and campaign strategies in their communities?
2. To what extent do village and district policies address climate risks through mitigation and adaptation strategies in villages/district level?

For gender equality, social inclusion (GESI), and youth intersectionality, the key question is:

1. What are the current barriers, opportunities, and roles of marginalized youth, particularly young women, youth with disabilities, and youth organisations, in leading and or participating in inclusive, gender-responsive climate initiatives?

For the climate risk assessment, the questions are:

1. Hazard assessment: What are the key climate-related hazards impacting the districts of Manggarai, Nagekeo, TTS, and Lembata, and what is their historical and projected frequency and intensity?
2. Exposure : How are people which segregated by sex, age, disability exposed to those climate hazards, including their livelihoods, ecosystems, and public infrastructure?
3. Vulnerability: Which attributes of the system contribute to the risk? How do intersecting inequalities related to gender, youth, and disability, affect the capacity of communities to cope with and adapt to climate risks?
4. Sensitivity: Which attributes make the system vulnerable to potential negative impacts of the hazard(s) under consideration? How is the sensitivity level of infrastructure, ecosystem and socio-economy against those hazards?
5. Adaptive Capacities: What abilities do the system and communities which segregated by sex, age and disability are currently in place or missing to reduce the risks of concern? What are the existing knowledge, institutional, and economic capacities within these communities to manage these risks?
6. Adaptation measures: What measures could help decrease vulnerability and / or exposure and increasing capacity within the system of concern?
7. Mitigation measures: what measures could help decrease greenhouse gasses emissions and therefore reduce hazards?

4. Methods

The evaluation will serve two purposes: establishing baseline values and conducting a climate risk assessment. A mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative, quantitative, and document review, is therefore most appropriate to ensure comprehensive information for both purposes.

During data collection, the tools will cover both the baseline and the climate risk assessment simultaneously, allowing for efficiency and consistency. While these approaches may appear integrated at this stage, the distinction between the baseline and the climate risk assessment will be made explicitly during the analysis and report-writing phases, resulting in two separate reports.

The data collection will take place in several villages with criteria as listed in table below:

4.1. Quantitative Methods4.1.1. Sample Size

A total of 350 youth respondents will be surveyed across four districts and the Plan Indonesia Youth Database (PlaNet), with samples drawn proportionally by gender. From each location, a subset of respondents will be affiliated with youth organizations, amounting to 50 in total. The overall margin of error (MoE) will range from 5.2% to 15.5% across districts, which will provide a reasonable level of representativeness for the survey findings. Table below presents sample size by districts, sex and youth organisation subset.

6. Deliverable

This activity will produce two main reports: baseline and climate risk assessment, with detail as follows:

1. Inception report that outlines the evaluation methodology for both the baseline and climate risk assessment. The report will be structured in two distinct sections to ensure clarity in differentiating between the baseline and the climate risk assessment components. For the CRA, the scoping phase (initial identification of risks) will also be included.
2. Data collection tools (to be included as annexes to the Inception Report):
   1. Youth survey questionnaire
   2. KII guideline for all informants
   3. FGD participatory guidelines
   4. Document review matrix for desk review
3. Preliminary report that presents findings on both baseline and CRA. The report will include findings from quantitative, qualitative and desk review.
4. Two separate final reports:
   1. Baseline report that provides baseline values for Outcome 1 indicators, accompanied by an in-depth analysis of youth capacity, government participation, and GESI.
   2. Climate Risk Assessment Report: Offering a comprehensive risk analysis based on the IPCC impact chain, together with recommendations for youth-led initiatives.

These documents will be reviewed at least twice before moving to the next steps. The reviews will be carried out by the following:

1. Climate Change Focal Point
2. GESI Lead
3. MER Specialist and Programme Support Unit Manager
4. Project Manager
5. Area Programme Manager

7. Ethics & Safeguarding

Plan Indonesia adheres to Plan International Child and Youth Safeguarding and Protection.  All parties involved will adheres to Plan International's safeguarding such as: Youth & participant safeguarding, Prevention of Sexual Harassments and Abuse (PSHEA), MERL Standard, ‘do no harm' principle. In addition, all activities must obtain written/verbal consent from human participant especially for: photo, participation in data collection. Stricter measures are applied for child participant, but the evaluation expects no children (person under 18) to participate. The IKI Small Grants have strict policy on safeguarding and the research team will include the measures during this evaluation.

To ensure safeguarding, below are the measures in place:

1. Provide a verbal/written informed consent for survey, KII, and FGD participants. The consent form will be thoroughly explained before signing and will cover permission to collect data, publish findings, use quotes with attribution, record audio, and take photographs (if necessary). As part of data quality assurance, participants will also be asked for permission to collect GPS information.
2. Identify possible risks during data collection through Risk Analysis and Mitigation (RAM) document. There will be participants with disabilities and therefore the research team will develop RAM to mitigate inaccessible meetings venue to allow for inclusive process.
3. All involved parties to participate in induction and sign the PSHEA & safeguarding agreement. This includes any external consultants, enumerators, and daily workers. In each enumerator training, there will be a dedicated session for safeguarding and PSHEA induction.
