Community Development
At the community level around the mining areas, ITM implemented development programs and community empowerment in the surrounding villages.
The pattern of program development and community empowerment is based on the principles of community involvement, for example, with the formation of a Community Consultative Forum (Community Consultative Committee, CCC). A partnership establishment as a forum involving all stakeholders has been the best pattern for the implementation of community empowerment and the relationship with stakeholders and the community.
The pattern of community involvement can be seen from the picture below.
Through CCC, we hoped that social capital is generated through the involvement of three primary parties, which are the community, Company and government who in turn will establish sustainability for life.
The concept of independence here means that the surrounding villagers generate and move social capital on their own initiative. If there is a problem with the practice, surrounding villagers can independently align the initiative and keep it consistent by using the existing social capital.
In the efforts to reach best practices of Community Development, ITM was able to develop successful programs to create a sustainable economy in sectors like household industries, fisheries, agriculture, social and environmental. Actions taken by ITM in achieving a sustainable program are divided into three main steps as follows:
- Step 1, provide the main infrastructure that can not be provided by the local government for the people in remote areas,
- Step 2, encourage the development of social capital in the community through a partnership between the stakeholders based on the potential of natural resources and local human resources,
- Step 3, develop the economy scale through local community aspirations and awareness of the opportunities that the increased resources available in and around the community will then be supported
by local government.
Infrastructure Development
To create and achieve a starting point for community development, the first thing that must be done is the development of infrastructure and access to public and social facilities such as roads, education, health, houses of worship, and equipment and also to support the development of home industries programs that can increase community revenue. ITM subsidiary companies, especially those operating in remote areas such as PT Bharinto Ekatama, PT Trubaindo Coal Mining, PT Indominco Mandiri and PT Jorong Barutama Greston has improved conditions in the area around their operations through the procurement of better infrastructure. Road and bridge infrastructure is built by a major affiliated Company. PT Bharinto Ekatama which built 7 km of road to support the transportation of local business activities and rubber farmers. PT Trubaindo Coal Mining improved and built the roads and paths in the village near the operational area. Better infrastructure
will support the community resilience program.
Economical Development
Economic development is designed based upon the ITM mapping of social and community action plans which cover the following three main sectors: agriculture, fisheries and home industries that utilize agricultural products and fishery resources as a major local resource.
Social Development
In social development, ITM developed a succession of community resilience programs through education and offering encouragement to the local people. In the scope of education, ITM began a foster father program and scholarships for students who are less capable. Through this program, the role of ITM is to attempt to avoid the generation
that is lost due to the lack of education. Supporting education programs include training teachers in teaching methods, such as how to create a summary of the material and how to teach interactive lessons. In addition, ITM is also building Education infrastructures such as the development of school classrooms in public schools and also in the private sectors. ITM works with local government through local health centers to provide training for health workers in the mining area around the village in order to provide better health services for residents. PT Indominco Mandiri received a CD Award from the Department of Energy and Mineral Resources, 2nd winner in the PADMA Award for social and economic development program.
