| Latar belakang dan tujuan: Pada kenyataanya kebijakan pemerintah belum menyentuh masyarakat bawah khususnya masyarakat pesisir. Kalaupun ada bantuan biasanya tidak sesuai dengan kondisi setempat, bahkan justru malah merusak habitat laut. Pemikiran inilah yang melatarbelakangi berdirinya lembaga ini pada 16 Agustus 1990. Adapun tujuannya adalah untuk ikut mengupayakan terwujudnya masyarakat yang sadar terhadap hak-hak sipil dan politik. Bidang dan bentuk kegiatan: Bidang kegiatan utama lembaga ini adalah lingkungan hidup dan masalah perikanan. Juga bidang hak asasi manusia, sektor informal dan kelautan sebagai penunjang. Sedangkan bentuk kegiatan utamanya meliputi pendidikan dan pelatihan, pengembangan dan pendampingan masyarakat, selain itu juga advokasi dan publikasi. Program: Di antara program yang dilaksanakan adalah: konservasi hutan bakau, meningkatkan ekonomi keluarga nelayan melalui kegiatan mina bakau, membangun serikat nelayan. Publikasi: Menerbitkan Buletin Kayuh Sumber dana: Lembaga ini memperoleh dana dari berbagai sumber yakni bantuan lembaga dalam negeri non pemerintah seperti YAPPIKA, DML dan WIM, serta pendapatan hasil kerja sama proyek dengan pihak lain, dan iuran anggota. Keanggotaan dan wilayah kerja: Di tingkat regional, bergabung dengan WIM, WPHM dan FORHAMSU. Sementara untuk lingkup nasional menjadi anggota organisasi nasional ICON. Staf: Lembaga ini memiliki 2 staf tetap, 2 staf tidak tetap, dengan 1 orang tenaga profesional dan 1 orang staf administrasi. | Background and purpose: In reality the government policies have not yet touched the lower level community, in particular the community of the coastal area. Even if there is assistance, usually it is not in accordance with local conditions, and even damages the sea habitat. This thinking forms the background for the establishment of the institute on August 16th, 1990. The aim is to join the efforts to realize a community that is aware of civil rights and politics. Area and form of activities: The institute has chosen the living environment and fishery problems as its primary fields of activity. Also the fields of human rights, the informal sector and marine affairs (as support fields). The main forms of activity comprise education and training, community development and assistance, and also advocacy and publications. Program: Since its establishment, WPAP has already undertaken various programs of activity. However, among these programs, the following have been recorded: conservation of the mangrove forests, enhancement of the economy of fishermen’s families through activities of mangrove fishing and assistance in developing a fishermen association. Publication: Publishing the bulletin Kayuh. Funding sources: For financing its activities, the institute obtains funds from several sources, namely aid from domestic non government institutes such as YAPPIKA, DML and WIM, and income from project cooperation with other parties, and from membership fees. Membership and working area: At local regional level, WPAP associates among others with WIM, WPHM and FORHAMSU. At national level, the institute is a member of the national organization ICON. No information has been available on the working area of the institute. Staff: The daily activities of the institute are carried out by 2 permanent staff members, 2 non permanent members, with 1 professional worker and 1 administrative staff member. | |
