10. International partnership is needed to achieve
41% emission reductions
In May 2010, Indonesia signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) with Norway : an
impactful political support to Indonesia’s commitment to reduce emission
by 41%, of which 83% will come from REDD+.
Basically with a Payment for Result approach

13.  Indonesia is institutionally and operationally ready
to enter into REDD+ Phase 3;
 Indonesia reports initial verified GHG emissions
reduction from three major sources in the LULUCF
sector (i.e. deforestation, peat decomposition and
peat fire) through REDD+ programmes
 Indonesia has made significant progress toward
achieving national mitigation objectives
…and we expect the impacts to be seen & felt
by the end of 2016

SIP is a system which manage licenses data, with features: (i) licenses database, (ii)
online licensing portal, (iii) licenses monitoring dan (iv) communication portal for
government (central-regional-district). 27

28. …and the license audit process is on track in
Central Kalimantan, Jambi, and East Kalimantan
1. Licensing documents are
not well documented
2. License issuance do not
conform with laws and
regulations
3. License holders do not fulfill
their obligation (post
issuance of i.e. plantation
permit/IUP)
Initial Findings from License Audit in Central Kalimantan
i.e.: Issuance of License without Environmental Permit
(Mining: Barsel 29%, Kotim 18%, Kapuas 22%
Plantation: Barsel 79%, Kotim 94%, Kapuas 8%)
i.e.: Failed to obtain Right of Cultivation (Land
Use for Plantation Right/HGU)
(Barsel: The District Gov are requesting data from companies
Kapuas and Kotim: The District Gov are still compiling data)
28

29. We are on track to properly recognize &
protect adat communities rights
Progress of follow-up on MK35
Constitutional Court Decision No. 35/PUU-X/2012
• Amended Art 1 (6) of Forestry Law No. 41/1999
• ‘Customary Forest [Hutan Adat] is State Forest located inside custom
based society (MHA) areas’
Impacts:
• Enable MHA to claim their tenurial rights in forest area
• Enable MHA to protect the forest by implementing their customary
knowledge
• Reducing Tenure Conflicts
Further Actions:
• Long term: Law on MHA Recognition and Protection which administers
the MHA Rights
• Short term: support for Menkokesra in monitoring “MK35” Action Plan
and template for Regional Regulation (Perda) on the recognition of
MHA.

32. We are working hard to prevent and mitigate
forest and peat fires…
• Utilize ONE MAP as the spatial baseline data to anticipate risks
and impact of inadequate forest/ land management that caused
fires.
• Support Coordinating Ministry of People Welfare to develop
National SOP as mandated in President Instruction on Forest &
Land Fire Management No.16 of 2011.
• Activate REDD+ situation room to monitor and analyze heats &
hotspots.
• Continue strengthening communities and NGOs to contain and
handle manageable fires and potential fires on the ground through
community-based forest fire management program.
• Trainings & equipment provision were done in 2012-2014 in
Central Kalimantan for more than 20 villages in 5 most hotspots
districts.
Progress on other Strategic Programmes: Forest & Peat Fire Management
32

33. …to ensure that REDD+ does not alienate the
source of livelihood for communities…
• Introducing participatory local resource-based approaches
and building local capacity to rehabilitate degraded forests and
peat lands, promoting sustainable livelihood development and
improving access to socio-economic facilities and markets.
• Promote sustainable developments for example through “green
job”, sustainable agriculture (e.g. zero burning), etc.
• Work in partnership with, indigenous communities and local
CSOs/NGOs, and employers’ or workers’ organizations.
• A partnership has been established with major CSO to
collaborate with 7 local NGOs in Central Kalimantan. More
partnerships will be done this year.
Progress on other Strategic Programmes: Green Villages
33

34. …and to ensure that education on REDD+
should start as early as possible
• Trainings for headmasters, teachers and supervisors were
implemented in 140 schools in Central Kalimantan.
• Adopting “REDD+ ESD whole school” approach by
development of laws, regulations and MoUs on Green
Education, develop curriculum for paradigm shifts on the
utilization of forests, biodiversity and cultural trainings to
relevant agencies and teachers.
• Widening impacts to communities by enhancing
environmentally related local customs. This will be done in
selected communities and integrated with Green Village
development.
• Teaching in forests and peat lands and their issues involving
CSOs, and other relevant stakeholders.
• Intervention to national curriculum in climate change and
REDD+ issues. This will be done in collaboration with relevant
ministries.
• Vocational schools in e.g. ecotourism and natural medicine.
Progress on other Strategic Programmes: Green Schools

37. We are working to ensure a solid fund
management structure for REDD+…
• The Trust Fund for REDD+ in Indonesia, FREDDI, is a
fund of funds. It is a fund that invests in other funds.
• It is designed as a public trust fund based on
Presidential Regulation No. 80/2011 on Trust Fund
• FREDDI is designed to channel fund through four
funding windows:
1. National Initiatives
2. Sub-national Initiatives
3. Competitive Cycle
4. Small-Scale Initiatives

39. PRISAI as REDD+ safeguards in Indonesia is
completed…
Flow of Safeguards Formulation Process: from REDD+
National Strategy to PRISAI • PRISAI, the Principles, Criteria, and
Indicators for REDD+ Safeguards in
Indonesia, has been developed
through a bottom-up manner with
involvement of key stakeholders at the
national and provincial levels.
• Mutual Recognition is on-going.
• A guideline is ready for use.
• A website is currently being developed
to put PRISAI in the public domain.
39

40. …developed through a participatory consultative
process for a strong and workable safeguard protocol
Principles of the social and environmental safeguards (PRISAI)
1 Clarifications of the status of tenure and land rights;
2 Ensuring actions complement, or are consistent with, the objectives of
emission reductions and relevant international conventions and agreements;
3 Improvement of forest governance;
4 Warrants a transparent, accountable and institutionalized information system;
5 Respect for the knowledge and rights of indigenous people and members of
local communities;
6 Full and effective participation of relevant stakeholders with attention to
gender;
7 Improvement in the conservation of natural forests biological diversity, and
ecosystem services;
8 Actions to address the risks of reversals;
9 Actions to reduce displacement of emissions;
10 Fair REDD+ benefit sharing to all relevant stakeholders and rights holders;
40

41. We are committed to ensure public benefits of
REDD+ implementation
Paradigm shifts that guide the principles for benefit-sharing and incentive mechanisms
Community as “disturbed
neighbors” of an “REDD+
Project” that needs to be
“bribed” through cash-
distribution
Community as a part of, and
“co-owners” of the project,
being inside the project
boundary, sharing responsibility
as well as benefits
Benefits being defined
almost entirely as cash
distribution.
Benefits being defined as
well-being, happiness,
sustainability, with
fulfilled social needs.
Benefits being defined
almost entirely as
derived from carbon.
Benefits being defined as
carbon and other social
and ecological services.
41

42. We are committed to uphold our integrity, and
being transparent & accountable
Trust-building is our critical success
factor
• The key ingredient to building and
sustaining trust is integrity. This
includes:
• integrity of the data collected to
demonstrate reductions in emissions of
GRK;
• integrity of the means of determining
which projects are supported or rejected;
• demonstrating that funds expended are
being honestly and effectively;
• Ensuring no unresolved conflicts of
interest and removing and preventing
other integrity traps
• Transparency: all interested parties
enjoy easy access to information on
the work of BP REDD+ and the REDD+
Program
• Accountability: this provides the basis
for responsible decision making
• Participation: the active and open
engagement of interested parties
ensures that the program’s initiatives
are supported
• Integrity: strong systems of
institutional and professional integrity
provide the basis for trust to support
program sustainability
Key tools to build & support trust
