ArticleCommunity-based investment to address deforestation and forest degradation in West Kalimantan, Indonesia
XV World Forestry Congress, 2-6 May 2022
2022Also available in:
No results found.West Kalimantan is the province with high forest cover but contributing high emission from high deforestation and forest degradation. FIP-1 project targets in reducing emission from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD+). Achievement on reducing emission will contribute the Indonesia’s Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC). The project has two themes, forest management intervention and community investment to increase their income. A log-frame and theory of change is applied to measure the impacts. Baseline data was setup through data collection and analysis. Stakeholder analysis was carried out to design institution arrangement and capacity building program. Economic benefit was measured at local community. Rate of deforestation and degradation was measured using a GIS tool. During the period of 2018-2020, total project investment is US $6.5 million. FIP-1 project has invested a total amount of USD 4.1 million for the livelihood improvement program, and USD 2.4 million for the sustainable forest management. Total emission reduction during the period of 2018-2020 is 1.02 TCO2-e. FMU (Forest Management Unit) is the important party in this achievement and community involvement is a key success in this investment. Community income has increased by 50% in June 2021 (compare to the baseline in 2016). A total 63% investment has been allocated for livelihood improvement program, while 36% of the investment was allocated for forest management intervention. From this investment, a total of 1.02 TCO2e of emission has been reduced. An effective REDD+ program will require involvement from FMU and community as active players.

DocumentCommunity participation and women empowerment in the protected forests of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan

No results found.Malakand civil division became a part of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa after the merger of the princely states of Swat, Dir and Chitral in 1969. In the princely state regime, the forests were completely belonging to the state, and local people were given some rights. The merger created a vacuum, which was exploited by the timber mafia and heavy cutting of forests took place. The main reason was the confused land tenure system, where the forest land belonged to the forest department, while the local communities were given the rights for timber, fuelwood, and grazing. Under an agreement the department also allowed to receive 60 percent of the net revenue from the commercial timber harvesting. However, the royalty payment was given only to the male members of the family, women were excluded. During this period, a number of donor funded projects started work in this area, and tried to address this key issue of land tenure, community participation, and the equitable distribution of benefits. These projects after a struggle of 20 years convinced the forest department to encourage community participation in the forest management and institutionalize the rules to address the issue of the land tenure. In this regard, legal cover was provided for community participation through the Forest Policy in 1999, the Forest ordinance in 2002, and the community participation rules in 2004. This resulted in getting the cooperation of the local communities, including a royalty share to women, and other disadvantaged groups. The communities organized themselves into forest protection committees with membership of both gender. The two decades struggle decreased the deforestation in the area, and brought an equitable distribution of benefits.

ArticleSocial forestry programs: A responsible investment to support sustainable forest management and provide alternative income for local communities, Indonesia
XV World Forestry Congress, 2-6 May 2022

No results found.Community-Based Forest Management (CBFM) has had a long experience in Indonesia to support the sustainable forest management. The CBFM approach has evolved into a new model, i.e., Social Forestry (SF). The SF drives to a more legal access from local community to utilize forest area. This SF opens opportunity for a more responsible investment by private sector to create cooperation’s with community organizations. The Forest Investment Program-1 implements CBFM through SF and has conducted activities in 17 villages, targeted a 17,000 ha into an agreement between communities with FMU and private sectors. A SWOT analysis is used to identify potential commodities in the targeted village and also to assess capacity of community organization. Interviews and focused group discussions were conducted to facilitate the development of a proposed cooperation with external parties for potential investment. Within the FIP-1 villages, there are five licenses for Social Forestry. Additionally, 6 new licenses are in the process. A total of USD 5 Million investment is planned for 17 villages. In average, for those 5 villages that has obtained SF licenses, a total of USD 1.6 Million have been invested in creating alternative livelihood, including USD 100 K/village for bee keeping, aquaculture and handicraft business development, USD 1.3 M for forestry program, and USD 222 K for village infrastructure program.
