Failure

The Government of Indonesia's Jambi Emissions Reduction (ER) Program is nested within the Province’s Green Growth Plan (GGP), which was enacted as a provincial regulation. As the part of the GGP implementation strategy, the ER Program has three main objectives: (1) protecting the remaining natural forests and peatlands; (2) improving forest and land cover including restoration of peatlands; and (3) strengthening forest and land management. These objectives will be achieved through improved forest and land governance (policies, spatial plans, accountable monitoring) and strengthening the involvement of the private sector and the community in sustainable landscape management. The ER Program is expected to address the underlying causes of the drivers of deforestation and forest degradation, which stem from i) lack of incentives for government officers to protect remaining natural forests in both State and Non-State forest areas, ii) lack of governments’ capacities in terms of funding, infrastructure, and human resources in forest monitoring and law enforcement, iii) lack of incentives and capacity for implementing sustainable management practices, iv) poor coordination leading to conflicting land use plans and targets across government levels; v) poor spatial planning and weak implementation, and vi) limited access right to forests by the community for sustainable income generation. With the understanding of such drivers, the interventions will then mainly address i) land and forest governance through improvement of policy and institutions, and ii) improve implementation of sustainable land and forest management practices.Recognizing the above drivers, the Government's underlying ER Program is structured into three main components: (1) Strengthening Policy and institutions; (2) Sustainable Land Management; and (3) Program Management and Coordination. Component 1 supports the preparation of long-term policies such as midterm and long-term development plans of Jambi Province and to resolve underlying causes related to policies and institutions to improve forest and land governance, establishing the enabling environment for the ER program such as Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting (MAR) and benefit sharing mechanism and institutional capacity and inter-stakeholder coordination. Key outputs include regulation/policy reforms, resolving conflict cases, facilitation to recognize indigenous groups, and peatland moratorium. Component 2 addresses weaknesses in land management practices, fire prevention, and tenurial conflicts and hence, contribute to addressing the drivers of deforestation and degradation from both AFOLU and peatlands. This component includes field activities implemented by the FMUs, private sector actors and the community, and will support key actors’ capacity in promoting sustainable land management practices through a landscape approach. Key outputs include implementation of full sustainable forest management principles (PHPL certificates), preparation of Long-Term Forest Management Plans (RPHJP) and business plans, restoration of forests, and issuance of social forestry licenses and ISPO/RSPO certificates, improvement in High Value Conservation management, application of smart agriculture practices, introduction of paludi culture and demonstration plots, establishing field schools and issuance of MoUs on conservation partnerships. Component 3 supports the overall management of the ER implementation, including technical support for the implementation of ER activities, measurement, analysis and reporting (MAR), environmental and social management, stakeholder engagement and collaboration, implementation of benefit sharing mechanism, as well as relevant resource allocation (both financial and personnel). The proposed Project (JERR) will pay for ER results generated across the jurisdiction. The financing provided by the proposed BioCF ISLF Project through an Emission Reduction Payment Agreement (ERPA) is disbursed in the form of payments against ERs that are periodically reported by GOI and independently verified. ERPA payments are then further distributed in the form of both monetary and non-monetary benefits on the basis of a pre-agreed Benefit Sharing Plan (BSP). The monitoring, analysis and reporting (MAR) for the JERR will be aligned with the national MRV system, registry system (Sistem Registry Nasional -SRN) and Safeguards Information System (SIS).To consolidate various initiatives towards emission reductions, including those being supported by the pre-investment phase under the J-SLMP, the GOI prepared an Emission Reduction Program Document (ERPD) detailing the program that will be implemented to reduce emissions, how payments will be distributed, and how the ERs are calculated. The ERPD is designed based on the criteria in the BioCF-ISFL Program Requirements.
