Programme Management

Partnerships MechanismThe spirit of Multistakeholder Forestry Programme (MFP) is to ensure equal and transparent partnerships and dialogues in supporting the improvement of forestry governance and the development of forestry governance policy in Indonesia. Therefore, effective partnership mechanism is required to allow open, equal, and responsible dialogue processes to happen.

One of the most important aspects in the MFP II management is to establish the partnership mechanism based on the MoU between The Government of Indonesia CQ the Ministry of Forestry and The Government of The United Kingdom CQ DFID, the Steering Committee Strategic Guidelines Document, and MFP II Proposal. The program will be implemented through the development of stakeholder partnership mechanism in forestry, such as the forestry agencies, National Development Planning Agency (Bappenas), Ministry of Development of Underdeveloped Regions, the Ministry of Home Affairs, The Coordinating Ministry for Economic Affairs, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Industry and Trade, Community Foundations, Non Governmental Organizations, Legislative at national, provincial, and district level, private sectors, and education and research agencies.

The partnership mechanism describes the basic procedure in developing the partnership agreement, through MFP II grant disbursement to the above partners. This procedure provides guidance for different grantmaking schemes in the MoU, i.e. to the National Partner, Community Foundation, and the Ministry of Forestry.

In transitioning from the 1st phase of MFP, the preparation MFP II will continue to support the transparent processes, especially to help negociate processes of the Voluntary Partnership Agreement on Forest Law Enforcement, Governance and Trade (FLEGT-VPA) between The Government of Indonesia and the European Union, and set up effective and accountable implementation mechanism that can be utilized by other donors and funds, and strengthen the roles of Community Foundation or other local grantmaking institutions.

The sustainability of the MFP II should be indicated by the improvement of program management; area-based approach that strengthen the existing multi stakeholder forum or engage as many stakeholders as possible to make contribution in policy recommendations; effective program governance; stronger roles of partners at local, regional, and national level; and the sinergy of all resources used to achieve the program objectives.
