Indonesia Enhancing Access to Benefits while Lowering Emissions (EnABLE) Project

active

The Enhancing Access to Benefits while Lowering Emissions (EnABLE) Project will support the implementation of the Benefit Sharing Plan (BSP) of the East Kalimantan Emission Reduction Program (ERP) through enhanced awareness and access to carbon benefits. The project will promote access to carbon and non-carbon benefits through catalytic investments to improve BSP implementation and targeted support to marginalized population groups at risk of exclusion. Component 1 will develop and roll out culturally appropriate communication, training, and facilitation tools, which can be adopted and replicated across ERP-participating villages in East Kalimantan. Also, it will build the capacity of local civil society organizations, especially adat organizations, to represent, advocate for, and support marginalized groups to participate in the ERP in a gender- and adat-inclusive way, and access benefits through the BSP. Component 2 will finance outreach and technical assistance activities, implemented by local CSOs, in 95 villages across three districts most at risk of exclusion. Component 3 will finance project management, monitoring and evaluation, and knowledge dissemination activities, along with participatory monitoring of the impacts of the BSP and participation in the ERP. The project will improve the quality of existing initiatives and leverage existing platforms, such as working groups, village facilitators, and village administrations and councils. It will support the multi-stakeholder platform for REDD+ facilitated by the PMU of the ERP to increase representation of marginalized groups and share lessons learned on inclusive access to REDD+ benefits. All project activities will complement FCPF-funded ERP and BSP initiatives, not overlap or displace them.
