Forestry Programme IV: Mamasa/Sulawesi watershed

active

The FC measure aims to ensure that the Indonesian partners develop and implement exemplary biodiversity protection and water catchment area measures in Sulawesi within the framework of the national REDD+ concept and thus support the rehabilitation of the Bakaru hydroelectric power plant by rehabilitating the Mamasa water catchment area (FC module objective). The aim is to contribute to the implementation of strategies for forest protection and sustainable forest management in Indonesia, thereby reducing climate-damaging emissions from the forestry sector and improving the living conditions of the poor rural population (program objective). The recipient of the grant is the Indonesian government, represented by the Ministry of Finance (MoF). The project sponsor is the Indonesian Ministry of Forestry (MoFor). The total cost of the project is currently estimated at around EUR 27.5 million and consists of a grant of EUR 25 million and an Indonesian contribution of at least EUR 2.5 million. Part of the project concept will be to establish additional co-financing from the Indonesian side for rehabilitation measures, as the rehabilitation of the watershed will provide direct ecosystem services for the commercially operating hydroelectric power plant in Bakaru. The planned duration is 7 years (approx. 2016/2017 - 2023/2024).
