The FORCLIME Financial Cooperation (FC) module was officially launched in a kick-off meeting chaired by the Senior Adviser to the Minister of Forestry, I. Made Subadia Gelgel. The FC module provides a grant of 20 million Euro for REDD+ Demonstration Activities at three districts in Kalimantan (Kapuas Hulu, Malinau and Berau).

Germany supports Indonesia's efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the forestry sector through the Forests and Climate Change Programme (FORCLIME) in two modules, namely Technical Cooperation (TC) implemented by the German International Cooperation (GIZ) and Financial Cooperation (FC) implemented through KfW (German Development Bank). The GIZ TC Module was launched in 2009 and supports policy and strategy development, sustainable forest management and FMU establishment, and biodiversity conservation.
