Pendahuluan

Aceh, yang merupakan rumah bagi 470.000 hektar perkebunan kelapa sawit, menghadapi tantangan untuk mempertahankan lanskapnya yang unik dan mempertahankan daya saingnya di pasar global. Pemerintah telah merumuskan Peta Jalan Kelapa Sawit Berkelanjutan (KSB) 2023-2045 sesuai dengan Pergub Aceh Nomor 9 Tahun 2024 Tentang Peta Jalan Pengembangan Kelapa Sawit Berkelanjutan Aceh dan Rencana Aksi Daerah KSB 2023-2026 sesuai dengan Pergub 17 Tahun 2024  Tentang Rencana Aksi Daerah Perkebunan Kelapa Sawit Berkelanjutan. Peta jalan KSB berfokus pada peningkatan produksi kelapa sawit, penguatan kapasitas, pengembangan kelembagaan, pengembangan basis data, pembiayaan, dan model bisnis baru di dalam area konsesi. Peta jalan ini juga menekankan perlindungan terhadap area dengan Nilai Konservasi Tinggi (NKT) dan Stok Karbon Tinggi (SKT). Program Management Unit (PMU) atau Unit Pelaksana Program (UPP) dibentuk berdasarkan Keputusan Gubernur Aceh Nomor 500.8/658/2024, yang bertujuan untuk mengimplementasikan dan mengoperasionalkan peta jalan KSB secara efektif.

Keberhasilan peta jalan KSB bergantung pada operasionalisasi PMU, yang membutuhkan tenaga profesional dan dukungan dari organisasi yang memiliki konteks lokal dan pengetahuan pemerintah yang bertujuan untuk memastikan bahwa setiap inisiatif dan program yang dirancang dapat diimplementasikan secara efektif dan sesuai dengan tujuan strategis yang telah ditetapkan. Dalam rangka mendukung operasionalisasi tersebut, maka disepakati deskripsi kerja, kriteria, serta mekanisme rekrutmen tim pelaksana PMU KSB Aceh.

Aceh, which is home to 470,000 hectares of oil palm plantations, faces the challenge of maintaining its unique landscape and maintaining its competitiveness in the global market. The government has formulated the Sustainable Palm Oil (KSB) Roadmap 2023-2045 in accordance with Aceh Governor Regulation No. 9 of 2024 on the Aceh Sustainable Palm Oil Development Roadmap and the KSB Regional Action Plan 2023-2026 in accordance with Governor Regulation No. 17 of 2024 on the Regional Action Plan for Sustainable Palm Oil Plantations. The KSB roadmap focuses on increasing oil palm production, capacity building, institutional development, database development, financing, and new business models within concession areas. It also emphasizes the protection of High Conservation Value (HCV) and High Carbon Stock (HCS) areas. The Program Management Unit (PMU) or Program Implementation Unit (UPP) was established based on Aceh Governor Decree No. 500.8/658/2024, which aims to effectively implement and operationalize the KSB roadmap.

The success of the KSB roadmap relies on the operationalization of the PMU, which requires professional manpower and support from organizations that have local context and government knowledge aimed at ensuring that any initiatives and programs designed can be implemented effectively and in accordance with the established strategic objectives. In order to support the operationalization, the job description, criteria, and recruitment mechanism of the Aceh KSB PMU implementation team were agreed upon.
