Community-Based Forest Enterprise Development Program

Description

The Government of Indonesia strives to reduce inequality by encouraging investment projects and implementing agrarian reform and social forestry programs. In the National Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJMN) 2015–2019, the government set a target to allocate 12.7 million hectares of forest for management and utilization through social forestry schemes, such as Community Forests (HKm), Village Forests (HD), Community Plantation Forests (HTR), Customary Forests, and Forestry Partnerships. Additionally, the government committed to implementing agrarian reform through land legalization and distribution, with 9 million hectares allocated for Agrarian Reform Land (TORA), half of which comes from forest areas.

To expedite the permitting process to meet social forestry targets, the government issued Ministry of Environment and Forestry Regulation No. P.83/2016 on Social Forestry. This regulation unifies various social forestry policies into a single ministerial regulation, streamlining the permitting process. Between 2012 and 2014, KEMITRAAN facilitated proposals and the establishment of social forestry work areas covering 95,464 hectares across 4 provinces and 14 districts.

In this project, KEMITRAAN leverages its experience from previous social forestry programs to design solutions for empowering communities that have obtained social forestry permits.

The project aims to increase income and welfare for rural communities, benefiting 3,000 households (12,000 people) who rely on forest resources in three provinces through sustainable, community-based forest business management.

The project includes six core activities:

  1. Strengthening the capacity of groups and communities to add value to products, increase capital, and expand market access for 10 social forestry business groups.
  2. Facilitating the development of social forestry business models in program locations.
  3. Developing best practices for social forestry enterprise development.
  4. Organizing discussions and workshops to create policy recommendations on social forestry.
  5. Conducting communication, publication, and campaign activities related to social forestry.
  6. Monitoring and evaluating the program.

Achievements

Key achievements of this program include:

  • Development of Business Plans and Annual Plans for Community Forest Management in Central Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara Province. Four Social Forestry Business Groups (KUPS) have been established in each Community Forest (HKm) and Community Plantation Forest (HTR) area.
  • Strengthening the institutional capacity of social forestry enterprises and commodity products in Central Lombok through the establishment of production facilities for processed commodities from social forestry areas. An initial survey revealed the potential for cashew nuts in Batu Jangkih, Aik Berik, and Lantan villages. The project facilitated community forest groups in each village to obtain Halal certification for their commodities.
  • In Bulukumba Regency, South Sulawesi, the project facilitated cross-visits for four social forestry business groups to learn about Trigona honey bee cultivation. These visits involved community forest groups from Bulukumba visiting groups in North Luwu, South Sulawesi.
  • On the legal front, KEMITRAAN organized a Policy Meeting to strengthen social forestry policies for forestry business development after the legalization of social forestry permits. This meeting was held in collaboration with the Directorate of Social Forestry and Customary Forest Business Development (BUPSHA) at the Ministry of Environment and Forestry.

Pada bulan Maret 2016, KEMITRAAN menerima akreditasi internasional dari Adaptation Fund. Dewan Adaptation Fund, dalam pertemuannya yang ke-27, memutuskan untuk mengakreditasi KEMITRAAN sebagai National Implementing Entity (NIE) dari Adaptation Fund. KEMITRAAN menjadi lembaga pertama dan satu-satunya lembaga Indonesia yang terakreditasi sebagai NIE Adaptation Fund di Indonesia.

2020

Perjanjian ini ditandatangani antara Green Climate Fund (GCF) dan KEMITRAAN. Perjanjian ini meresmikan akuntabilitas KEMITRAAN dalam melaksanakan proyek-proyek yang disetujui oleh GCF.

 

Untuk diketahui, GCF adalah dana khusus terbesar di dunia yang membantu negara-negara berkembang untuk mengurangi emisi gas rumah kaca dan meningkatkan kemampuan mereka dalam merespons perubahan iklim.

 

Dana ini dihimpun oleh Konvensi Kerangka Kerja PBB tentang Perubahan Iklim (UNFCCC) pada tahun 2010. GCF memiliki peran penting dalam mewujudkan Perjanjian Paris, yakni mendukung tujuan untuk menjaga kenaikan suhu global rata-rata di bawah 2 derajat celsius.

2000-2003

KEMITRAAN memainkan peran krusial dalam mendukung pengembangan undang-undang untuk membentuk KPK. Hal ini diikuti dengan langkah mendukung Pemerintah dan DPR dalam memilih calon komisioner yang kompeten dan juga mendukung kelompok masyarakat sipil untuk mengawasi secara kritis proses seleksinya. Setelah komisioner ditunjuk, mereka meminta KEMITRAAN untuk membantu mendesain kelembagaan dan rekrutmen awal KPK, serta memainkan peran sebagai koordinator donor. Sangat jelas bahwa KEMITRAAN memainkan peran kunci dalam mendukung KPK untuk mengembangkan kapasitas dan strategi yang diperlukan agar dapat bekerja seefektif mungkin.

2003

Pada tahun 2003, KEMITRAAN menjadi badan hukum yang independen yang terdaftar sebagai Persekutuan Perdata Nirlaba. Pada saat itu, KEMITRAAN masih menjadi program yang dikelola oleh UNDP hingga akhir tahun 2009. Sejak awal tahun 2010, KEMITRAAN mengambil alih tanggung jawab dan akuntabilitas penuh atas program-program dan perkembangannya.

1999-2000

Kemitraan bagi Pembaruan Tata Kelola Pemerintahan, atau KEMITRAAN, didirikan pada tahun 2000 setelah berlangsungnya pemilihan umum pertama di Indonesia yang bebas dan adil pada tahun 1999. Pemilu bersejarah ini merupakan langkah penting dalam upaya Indonesia keluar dari masa lalu yang otoriter menuju masa depan yang demokratis. KEMITRAAN didirikan dari dana perwalian multi-donor dan dikelola oleh United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) dengan mandat untuk memajukan reformasi tata kelola pemerintahan di Indonesia.

This agreement was signed between Green Climate Fund (GCF) and PARTNERSHIP. This agreement formalizes KEMITRAAN’s accountability in implementing projects approved by the GCF.

For your information, the GCF is the world’s largest special fund that helps developing countries reduce greenhouse gas emissions and increase their ability to respond to climate change.

These funds were collected by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in 2010. The GCF has an important role in realizing the Paris Agreement, namely supporting the goal of keeping the average global temperature increase below 2 degrees Celsius.

2016

In March 2016, KEMITRAAN received international accreditation from the Adaptation Fund. The Adaptation Fund Board, in its 27th meeting, decided to accredit KEMITRAAN as National Implementing Entity (NIE) from the Adaptation Fund. KEMITRAAN is the first and only Indonesian institution to be accredited as a NIE Adaptation Fund in Indonesia.

2003

In 2003, KEMITRAAN became an independent legal entity registered as a Non-Profit Civil Partnership. At that time, KEMITRAAN was still a program managed by UNDP until the end of 2009. Since the beginning of 2010, KEMITRAAN took over full responsibility and accountability for the programs and their development.

2000-2003

KEMITRAAN played a crucial role in supporting the development of legislation to establish the KPK. This was followed by steps to support the Government and DPR in selecting competent commissioner candidates and also supporting civil society groups to critically monitor the selection process. After the commissioners were appointed, they asked KEMITRAAN to help with the institutional design and initial recruitment of the KPK, as well as play the role of donor coordinator. It is clear that KEMITRAAN plays a key role in supporting the Corruption Eradication Commission to develop the capacity and strategies needed to work as effectively as possible.

1999-2000

The Partnership for Governance Reform, or KEMITRAAN, was founded in 2000 following Indonesia’s first free and fair general election in 1999. This historic election is an important step in Indonesia’s efforts to move away from an authoritarian past towards a democratic future. PARTNERSHIP was established from a multi-donor trust fund and is managed by United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) with a mandate to advance governance reform in Indonesia
