GGGI
Indonesia is inviting eligible firms/entities to submit their proposals for
the following scope of work:
PROJECT BACKGROUND:
GGGI through the Sustainable Landscape Investments Partnership in Indonesia
Project aim to support the Government of Indonesia to increase the Natural
Capital Asset (NCA) by private and public initiatives through incentivizing
and mobilizing investments that result in significant contributions to
national forest and land use FOLU net sink targets. The aim of this
assessment is to analyse and design the intervention to accelerate social
forestry program in Indonesia.
South Kalimantan, a province committed to climate change mitigation, has
started implementing FOLU Net Sink 2030 since December 2022. The province has
switched its development policy from natural resource extraction to green
growth, aiming to address deforestation and land degradation. Since 2016, the
provincial government has endorsed over 17 local policies, including the
'Green Revolution', which aims to restore 500,000 Ha of degraded land. The
province also has a high commitment to develop social forestry. South
Kalimantan received 161,668 hectares of social forestry from the central
government, with only 96,583 hectares of this area achieved to date (SK
forestry agency, 2024). There are 457 SF groups but less than 22 percent of
them meet the platinum and gold criteria. To enhance the SF progress, the
provincial government endorsed the SK Governor Regulation No.2/2024 about
Facilitation for Social Forestry Management Acceleration, aim to aligning
cross-sectoral policies and regulations to support the utilization of social
forestry potential for improving people's welfare, and conserving forests and
the environment. The local regulations also mandated the forestry agency to
establish and develop IAD, but there is a lot to be done to make this happen
amidst limited resources.
Tahura (Forest Park) Sultan Adam is a biodiversity hotspot in South
Kalimantan. It is the province’s largest conservation area with 113,716 ha of
land cover and provides drinking water for more than 2 million people, a
major water supply source and a strategic national facility for powering a
huge 30MW hydropower plant to support electricity in Kalimantan Island as
well as other essential ecosystem services to the entire landscape. High
ecological and social significance has also made the forest park a part of
the currently proposed UNESCO Global Geopark, namely the Meratus Geopark. The
area is also home to 37,230 local people in 27 villages and is in the
administrative areas of Banjar and Tanah Laut regencies. Both the districts
registered 120 SF group with only 1 group categorized as platinum class and
36% is gold class. However, none of the SF groups are in the Tahura.
To effectively support and identify potential Integrated Area Development
(IAD) opportunities in South Kalimantan, particularly in the District of
Banjar and Tanah Laut including the possibility of implementing the concept
in the province's largest conservation area, Tahura Sultan Adam, the series
of assessment and facilitation to Accelerate of Inclusive Social Forestry
Development through Establishment of Integrated Area Development is needed.
This initiative aims to provide comprehensive information to both national
and sub-national governments regarding important factors for strengthening
social forestry, establishing conservation partnerships, and developing Integrated
Area Development (IAD) in districts and conservation areas managed by
provincial governments. The focus of the IAD Action Plan relates to the
Tahura and surrounding areas of Banjar and Tanah Laut Districts within the
same development landscape. The action plan will refer to Perpres 28/2023 on
Integrated planning to Accelerate Social Forestry in particular the relevance
of a landscape-based approach (Article 12,2) and integrated collaboration
between government institutions at the district and province levels as
integral parts of Integrated Area Development (IAD). The action plan will be
spatially based within an identified area with indicative boundaries to
identify which key stakeholders should be involved, their rights,
responsibilities, roles and relationships. The Action Plan will identify its
spatial scope including indicative specific area boundaries to identify
geo-spatial and socio-economic relationships together with their roles and
responsibilities
OBJECTIVE OF THE ASSIGNMENT:
GGGI is seeking to select a firm to undertake facilitation and assessment to
Accelerate of Inclusive Social Forestry Development through Establishment of
Integrated Area Development aimed at supporting the development and progress

(IAD) establishment in two districts that administratively host the largest
conservation area in South Kalimantan. The work will focus on assessment of
potentially developing the IAD in Banjar and Tanah Laut District while at the
same time identifying crucial factors to improve the existing SF group,
opportunity to facilitation of new permit including support for development
of pre-requisition of conservation partnership as initiation of collaboration
for sustainable management forest. The Firm must provide a dedicated team of
consultants for this study.
