Program Overview
The project intends to integrate development planning,financing, and licensing
in land-based sector and to assess the needs forcapacity building for the
integration at a sub-national (district) level inIndonesia. Actual practices
for planning, financing and licensing remainisolated, siloed processes at
different level government including those atdistrict level. This
disintegration is critical for impacts in addressingdevelopment and
sustainability in emerging jurisdictional initiatives at locallevel such as
green, conservation or sustainable districts. After declaringthemselves as
green, conservation, or sustainable jurisdictions, theseinitiatives need to
define sustainability issues and address these issues inways that are
integrating development planning, development financing, andlicensing.
WRI Indonesia will initiate and achieve intendedintegration through, among
others, workshop with local stakeholders aboutdevelopment planning, finance
(public, private, blended), licensing inland-based sector and about system
thinking and sustainability in restorationand conservation; training, series of
FGDs, and working together in modelbuilding and use; dialogue with local
leadership and key agencies; and needsassessment for capacity building of local
stakeholders. Two jurisdictions whichrespectively represents conservation and
restoration circumstances, that isSintang in West Kalimantan and Sorong Selatan
in West Papua, serve as thetarget districts of the project.
The anticipated outcomes of the project are threefold.First, increased ability
of district stakeholders in the public sector tounderstand linkages – such as
impacts, trade-offs, synergies – from aligningplanning for development,
financing for development, and licensing in land-basedsectors in achieving
sustainability vision of their jurisdiction. Second,initiated use of integrated
approach and tool to develop and assess districtdevelopment planning programs
and interventions, financing allocation, andlicensing decision. Third, improved
