I. BACKGROUND Organizational Context UNDP partners with people at all levels of society to help build nations that can withstand crisis, and drive and sustain the kind of growth that improves the quality of life for everyone. On the ground in 177 countries and territories, UNDP offers global perspective and local insight to help empower lives and build resilient nations. UNDP Indonesia s mission is to be an agent for change in the human and social development of Indonesia. We, the UNDP Country Office (CO), aim to be a bridge between Indonesia an all donors as well as maintaining our status as a trusted partner to all stakeholders. We work in four key areas of development: Governance Reforms, Pro-Poor Policy Reforms, Conflict Prevention and Recovery, and Environment Management, with the overarching aim of reducing poverty in Indonesia. Besides the four priority areas, UNDP Indonesia is also engaged in a variety of crosscutting initiatives focused on HIV/AIDS, gender equality, and information and technology for development. Substantive Context The Government of Indonesia recognizes that unrestrained natural resource exploitation will undo existing development gains and render certain development goals unachievable. Neither do turnkey solutions for low carbon development exist. Thus, Indonesia continues to work to pioneer solutions for sustainable development. The commitment to balance and enable social equity, environmental health, and economic growth is clearly outlined within Indonesia s National Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJM-N) 2015-2019. These goals are underpinned by Indonesia s unprecedented voluntary commitment to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 26% and up to 41% by 2020, with international support including the REDD+ Indonesia-Norway Partnership. Indonesia s successful actualization of sustainable development, including the protection of its vast forests, is critical not only for its own national development and wellbeing, but in its significant contribution to global climate change mitigation. To this end, Phase 1 of the REDD+ Partnership persistently emphasized collaborative ways to create enabling conditions for sustainable development: Work to strengthen the nation s geospatial infrastructure reinforced cross-ministerial collaboration. Information sharing under initiatives like the moratorium and tackling unsustainable environmental exploitation through a Multi-Door Approach to regulatory due diligence and law enforcement emphasised coordination and information sharing. Decade long participatory mapping efforts by masyarakat hukum adat (MHA) were integrated into the national One Map initiative. Key achievements include the release of the National REDD+ Strategy (Stranas) in September 2012, completing the groundwork for a Measurement, Reporting and Verification (MRV) system, the design and preparation of a Fund for REDD+ (FREDDI) and the development of safeguards called Principles, Criteria and Indicators for REDD+ Safeguards in Indonesia (PRISAI).
Following the completion of Phase 1, the National REDD+ Agency was established through Presidential Regulation 62/2013 to ensure the continued implementation of REDD+ in Indonesia. The Partnership entered into an Interim Phase centered on building the institutional capacity of the REDD+ Agency. This ensured that the foundational work completed by the Working Groups of the National REDD+ Task Force (SatGas REDD+) in gathering baseline information, supporting the establishment of and monitoring the moratorium, and ensuring the overall body of knowledge from Phase I was transferred. The Interim Phase also included a portfolio of time sensitive issues including preventing forest and peat fires, implementing the Constitution Court Ruling No. 35/2012 (MK 35) recognizing the tenure rights of masyarakat hukum adat, land conflict resolution in national parks, and strengthening gender inclusion. Integration into Ministry of Environment and Forestry In 2014, the newly elected Jokowi-Kalla administration laid out their priority agenda, Nawa Cita, and decisively integrated Indonesia s on-going reforms for more efficient, transparent, and accountable government with the country s commitment to achieve the triple wins of sustainable development: social equity, economic growth, and environmental sustainability. REDD+ serves a critical role in helping fulfil the prioritization on alleviating rural poverty and enabling development, emphasizing good governance and anti-corruption as keys to improve forest and peat land management, and supporting the shift towards low emissions development, a commitment reflected by the decision of the Administration to reduce fuel subsidies by 70% between 2014 and 2015. Most markedly, these priorities resulted in merging the Ministries of Environment and Forestry (MoEF) or Kementerian Lingkungan Hidup dan Kehutanan (KLHK), and through Presidential Decree No. 16 of 2015 issued on 21 January 2015 consolidating ad hoc climate change related institutions including the REDD+ Agency and the National Climate Change Council (DNPI), previously responsible for representing Indonesia at the UNFCCC under the new Directorate General for Climate Change Control (DG-CCC) within the new Ministry of Environment and Forestry (MoEF). For the Partnership, this means continued implementation is led by a new Directorate General, where it is understood that REDD+, as a multi-sector programme, will be mainstreamed in policies and plans across several Directorate Generals (Echelon I) within the ministry, as well as with the requisite engagement of other relevant ministries. The new, more streamlined bureaucracy has the potential to ensure better coordination of climate change issues by one mandated body, including REDD+. The integration of the former National REDD+ Agency into the new directorate general includes responsibility for overseeing the entirety of the former Agency s mandate, namely coordinating, synchronising, planning, facilitating, managing, monitoring, supervising, and controlling the implementation of REDD+ in Indonesia and ensuring the following: 1. Decrease greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions due to deforestation; 2. Reduction of emissions from degradation of forest and peat lands; 3. Maintenance and enhancement of forest carbon reserves through conservation, sustainable forest management and rehabilitate and restoration of degraded forest land;
and 4. Improvement in environmental quality, biodiversity, and welfare of local communities and masyarakat hukum adat (MHA). While the integration of the REDD+ Agency into the new Directorate General delayed the start of Phase 2, this period has been instrumental to ensure thorough handover of the functions and responsibilities of the former REDD+ Agency to the DG-CCC. Transition Phase The Interim Phase remains the implementation platform of the Partnership for nine (9) more months. Under this arrangement, the Ministry of Environment and Forestry is mandated to establish both a REDD+ funding instrument and the mechanism for Measurement, Reporting and Verification (MRV).The Interim Phase will also focus on providing technical support to the MoEF on six priority REDD+ programs based on the foundational work completed in Phase 1 and by the former National REDD+ Agency, and in line with the objectives of Indonesia s National Medium- Term Development Plan (RPJM-N) 2015-2019. These are: 1. Forest and Peat fire prevention in fire prone provinces; 2. Law enforcement, Legal review of licenses and compliance audit for fire management; 3. Improvement of community welfare and sustainable land and forest management through social forestry; 4. Resolution of land-related conflicts; 5. Participatory mapping of territories by masyarakat hukum adat and local communities; and 6. Institutional strengthening, stakeholder engagement and awareness raising on related social, economic, and environmental issues for the preparation of Phase 2
