On February 20th 2014, FORCLIME in collaboration with the Forestry Service in Berau organized a focus group discussion (FGD) with various district stakeholders to present the preliminary outcomes of a study on “investments into Green Economy in Berau in 2012”.

This FGD is a follow up meeting after the first FGD in January, which served as an introduction to Green Economy and to inform about the purpose of the survey. In the meantime, data has been collected from relevant district agencies as well as from (local and international) NGOs and private sector stakeholders.

The expected results of the FGD are:  
•    A shared understanding of the Green Economy concept, taking into account local interpretations and understandings;
•    A presentation of data collected so far;
•    A discussion about follow up action, aiming at the internalization of this baseline of Green Economy into the district planning, and the formulation of priorities of development towards a district-based Green Economy.
