As part of preparations of their 2022 work plan, FORCLIME and the Environment and Forestry Human Resources Training Center (Pusdiklat SDM LHK) organised a recent initial discussion that addressed human resources (HR) capacity development. This hybrid meeting was held in the Sonokeling Room at Pusdiklat SDM LHK and also via Microsoft Teams on Tuesday, 21 December 2021. The purpose of the discussion was to develop a synergistic and complementary work plan for Pusdiklat SDM LHK. The 2022 FORCLIME work plan will focus on several main activities, including the development of e-learning, the development of electronic modules for KPH HR and capacity building for lecturers (widyaiswara).

At the end of the discussion session, Ms Puji Iswari, the acting of the Head of the Pusdiklat LHK, stated that, “Although FORCLIME’s main focus is currently in eastern Indonesia, we hope that FORCLIME’s capacity building activities will still prove valuable to Pusdiklat LHK so that their benefits can be applied across seven Environmental and Forestry Education and Training Centers and Forestry Vocational High Schools throughout Indonesia.”

A follow-up to this meeting is planned for January 2022, during which Pusdiklat LHK will invite FORCLIME and other partnering institutions to discuss the finalization of the 2022 work plan.

The Pokja comprises four work units, specifically: Capacity Development; Preparation of Work Areas; Post-Permit Business Facilities; and Management of Pesona Mart. Through the Pokja PPS, Social Forestry programmes in West Papua Province can be organized and implemented from the provincial level to the site level. Pokja PPS members represent various agencies, including the Forestry Service, Environment and Land Service, Industry and Cooperatives Service and the Food and Drug Supervisory Agency, as well as various technical units of the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (agencies of the Social Forestry and Environmental Partnership for Maluku Papua Region and the Manokwari Region XVII Forest Area Consolidation), the Faculty of Forestry at Papua University and other related institutions. Moreover, there are two new additional members, one of which is FORCLIME, which have now joined the secretariat of the PPS Pokja. This new membership is in the process of being revised through the issuance of Governor’s Decree Number 522/15/VII/2021 by the Legal Bureau of the Regional Secretary of West Papua Province.

In an effort to evaluate performance during the course of 2021, the West Papua Pokja PPS held a coordination meeting on 10 December 2021 in the meeting room of the Forestry Service in Manokwari.

In order to follow up on efforts to integrate monitoring and reporting systems (MRV) at the sub-national and national levels that took place in early December 2021, the West Kalimantan Provincial Forestry and Environment Service (Dinas LHK) held another meeting on 28 December 2021. This activity was organised by Dinas LHK in collaboration with FORCLIME and Project FIP-1, and was attended by 20 participants who were representing the West Kalimantan Provincial Government (Dinas LHK, Bappeda); the Directorate of Greenhouse Gas Inventory and Monitoring, Reporting and Verification (IGRK MPV); the Directorate General of Climate Change Control; members of the West Kalimantan REDD+ Working Group (Pokja REDD+) and various development partners.

During the meeting, representatives from Dit IGRK MPV, Mr. Wawan Gunawan and Budiharto, provided input and discussed their notes, particularly in relation to improvements to the uses and types of maps, as well as improvements to various types of data with an eye on integrating them into national sites that are currently still under development.

"The integration of the MRV website at the sub-national (West Kalimantan) and the national (Ministry of Environment and Forestry) levels is important so that data and information relating to emissions reduction activities collected by the West Kalimantan REDD+ Working Group is directly integrated into the system created by the Ministry of Environment and Forestry,” explained Mrs. Yenny, S.Hut., MT, a member of the West Kalimantan REDD+ Working Group.
