The East Kalimantan Province will also the first location in Indonesia, with the signing of the Cooperation Agreement (PKS) document facilitated by the Ministry of Forestry between the East Kalimantan Provincial Government and BPDLH (Environmental Fund Management Agency) on February 28, 2023.
EnABLE is a program that will support the implementation of the FPCF-CF program, namely in order to encourage the more improved governance and transparency in sustainable forest management. In addition to contributing to strengthening the distribution of programs, in order to improve and sustain the livelihoods of local communities through the process of strengthening the capacity of indigenous communities and local civil society organizations to be actively involved in the REDD+ implementation process.
EnABLE program also contributes to the implementation of the East Kalimantan Emission Reduction Program (ERP), so that various groups, especially marginalized communities, can access carbon and non-carbon benefits through the implementation of a social inclusion approach. In addition to supporting the implementation of the Benefit Sharing Plan (BSP) of the FPCF Program that is effective and inclusive, by encouraging the development of a better supporting environment for beneficiaries to be actively involved and gain equal access.

Our Focuses
In order to increase awareness, knowledge and access of marginalized communities in the East Kalimantan Province, EnABLE program facilitates various activities that reach various groups in its three main components.
- Component 1
Component 1 aims to increase the level of peoples’ understanding and knowledge about the ERP program, and to increase the marginalized communities’ access to the benefits of the ERP program. Component 1 focuses on reducing the risks of social exclusion due to limited information, low awareness, and inaccessibility to marginalized groups. This objective will be achieved by strengthening the capacity of the ERP Program implementing institutions so that it runs effectively and inclusively. Both through the development of various instruments, tools, modules and communication materials that increase the understanding of target beneficiaries. - Component 2
Component 2 aims to improve the capacity of local communities from 71 villages/kampungs to access both carbon and non-carbon benefits through the implementation of the Benefit Sharing Plan (BSP). Component 2 specifically focuses on the risks of various social exclusion practices to carbon and non-carbon benefits, such as the low level of participation of various marginalized and poor communities in all village decision-making process, including limited capacity to carry out advocacy. Namely through technical support and capacity building for all the target beneficiaries both: i) to participate in ERP Program activities and ii) to access carbon benefits through the implementation of the Benefit Sharing Plan (BSP).
