Results to date

• 2.6 million seedlings have been raised for planting in the KFCP area.
• A forest management unit—a key institution for taking over management of REDD+ at the local level—has been legally established in the KFCP area and is developing a 35 year management plan.
• A system for monthly peat, water table and vegetation monitoring has been operational for three years—a critical foundation for peat science, emissions estimation and peatland rehabilitation.
• We have provided livelihood support for local communities by helping farmers improve forestry and farming methods and provided additional income sources for 1,300 households through payments for the raising and planting of seedlings and the blocking of small canals.
• Annual land cover change maps have been completed for Kalimantan, Sumatra and Papua Islands, showing detailed forest loss and gain for the period 2000 to 2009.
• A pilot forest carbon accounting system for the island of Kalimantan is in the advanced stages of development. This system is being developed in-line with international best practice guidance and could be applied across Indonesia.
• National partners have developed and published methods for estimating biomass content in Indonesian forests. These have been used to develop a map of biomass content across Kalimantan as part of the pilot system.
• Australia has helped establish IndoFire—a real time, online forest fire monitoring system addressing a major source of carbon emissions. This is helping Indonesian authorities more effectively manage, prevent and suppress fires.

*AusAID is committed to publishing documents and data concerning Australia’s official development assistance in a way that is comprehensive, accessible and current. Information published on the Indonesia Program is currently not complete and further initiatives will be added over the course of the next few months. The AusAID practice will be to publish documents once finalised and where appropriate after the partner government and any other partners directly involved in the delivery of the initiative have been consulted. Not all material published on this site is created by AusAID and therefore not all documents reflect the views of the Australian Government. In limited circumstances some information may be withheld for reasons including privacy and commercial sensitivity. An important objective of the Transparency Initiative is to promote broad-based understanding, analysis and discussion of aid issues and to inform the future delivery of Australia’s aid program.
