Project/activity information

This project proposal is the first revision of PD 389/05 (F) and incorporates the recommendations of the Thirtieth Expert Panel. It was built on the findings of ITTO Project PD 42/00 Rev.1 (F) “Training of Trainers for the Application of the ITTO and the National Criteria and Indicators of Sustainable Forest Management at Forest Management Unit Level” that was completed in 2004. Project PD 42/00 concluded that the absence of performance monitoring system at forest management unit level is one of the major causes of the slow progress in the achievement of sustainable forest management in Indonesia. The internal monitoring of SFM performance system produced by Project PD 42/00 will enhance the effectiveness of the control of the government over the forest concessions if it is adopted by the forest management units.

This proposed project is aimed at accelerating the implementation of SFM practices by member companies of the Association of Indonesian Forest Concession Holders (APHI). Its specific objectives are: i) to improve the capability of human resources in the application of the SFM Performance Internal Monitoring System developed under Project PD 42/00 Rev.1 (F), and ii) to promote government policy on the application by FMUs of Internal Monitoring Performance System (IMPS).

The expected main outputs of the project are:

- Design of human resource training formulated and implemented;
- FMUs and government officers trained in the use of IMPS and its Guidelines;
- The IMPS and Guidelines disseminated and implemented; and
- Government policy on IMPS application formulated and effected.
