The KuALA network

Wetlands International – Indonesia Programme and WWF-Indonesia since October 2007 facilitated the development of a coastal network for Aceh province, called the KuALA network. The KuALA network currently has 20 members, of which most are Non-Governmental Organisations (NGO) and Community Based Organisations (CBO) active under Green Coast 1. Check the KuALA leaflet for a list of the member organisations

Role of the network

The role of the KuALA network is to advocate for the preservation and rehabilitation of coastal ecosystems serving local communities well-being. To achieve this goal the network focuses on three main areas of activities:

Encourage the development of a public policy on coastal and marine management
Encourage local communities take their role as main stakeholders in natural resources management
Strengthen the coastal monitoring network by looking for sustainable funding sources

KuALA website

The KuAla members have been trained on website management and have developed a website. This website is designed to keep members and interested people informed on the status of their activities. For more information read the KuALA leaflet or visit the website: www.kuala.or.id.
