JAKARTA (15 Maret 2024) - PT Freeport Indonesia (PTFI) has entered into a partnership with United States Agency for International Development for the Partnership to Accelerate Stunting Reduction in Indonesia for Papua Chapter (PASTI Papua) program.
The partnership was marked with signing of the MoU PASTI Papua by PTFI Director & EVP Sustainable Development Claus Wamafma and USAID Mission Director Jeffery P. Cohen.
“PTFI supports the government’s National Action Plan for Acceleration of Stunting Reduction (RAN PASTI). Among others through PTFI collaboration with USAID to accelerate stunting reduction, specifically in Papua," PTFI Director & EVP-Chief Financial Officer Rob Schroeder said.
Rob said in practicing sustainable mining, PTFI consistently upholds improvement of wellbeing for Papuans. He voiced the hope that through collaboration with USAID, a Healthy Papua, Smart Papua, and Productive Papua will transpire, in alignment with the Master Plan for Accelerated Development of Papua established by the government.
PTFI Director & EVP Sustainable Development Claus Wamafma said under this partnership, PTFI will provide 3.53 million US dollars in funds, and USAID will provide 500,000 US dollars. This initiative is by way of expansion of USAID’s 4,000,000 US dollar contribution to the stunting reduction program in Indonesia. The collaboration also encompasses technical and supervisory assistance. Both parties have appointed Wahana Visi Indonesia to execute the program in the field.
"The PASTI program in Papua will run from 2024 through 2026 with target beneficiaries in Mimika Regency, Nabire Regency, and Asmat Regency. By means of this directed approach, PTFI and USAID are endeavoring to improve the nutritional wellbeing of children and to contribute to the wider national effort to overcome stunting among children,” Claus said.
USAID Indonesia Director Jeff Cohen expressed gladness over this partnership. “The USA is proud to enter into partnership with the government of Indonesia for nation-wide reduction of stunting in children,” Cohen said. “We are highly enthusiastic over expanding support for nutrition improvement for children and preventing stunting in Papua by entering into a new partnership with PT Freeport Indonesia, in tandem with our collaboration to attain a healthier future for the children and people of Indonesia.”
The PASTI Papuaproject is implemented under three main goals. The first is to increase the quality of community based health and nutrition practices for families at risk of stunting, through Social Behavior Change (SBC) intervention. This undertaking will look at local context by engaging local communities, including community leaders and religious leaders
The second goal is to increase the quality of Primary Healthcare Services by reinforcing integrated and comprehensive provision of primary healthcare for maternal, child and adolescent clusters, by encouraging promotional and preventive approaches.
The third goal is to reinforce institutional capacity, and coordination and collaborative management among various stakeholders, towards effectuating RAN PASTI at the sub-national level (provincial- and village-levels).
Social Investment
PT Freeport Indonesia is committed to providing the best benefits from its presence to communities near the company’s operating site, through diverse social investment programs, including in the areas of health, education, economy, culture, sports, infrastructure, community empowerment, and human rights. .
In 2023, PTFI social investment amounted to 122 million US dollars, with this figure to steadily increase to around 100 million US dollars until 2041.
PTFI enters into partnership with the government and various stakeholders to ensure its programs proceed effectively and sustainably, among others through alignment of the social investment programs with regional development planning in Papua.
