Context of the REDD+ initiative:

Indonesia is the third largest emitter of carbon dioxide (CO2) and the world’s largest emitter from agriculture, forestry and other land use. Over the past five years, Indonesia’s annual deforestation rate has averaged around 1 million hectares, which contributes to an estimated 87 percent of Indonesia’s annual emissions. In response to this situation, in 2009, President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, made a voluntary commitment to the world to reduce emissions as much as 26 percent under a business-as-usual scenario or up to 41 percent with international support by 2020.

According to the Second National Communication from Indonesia to the UNFCCC, Indonesia is expected to emit around 2.9 million metric tons (gigatons) by 2020 under the business-as-usual scenario. A commitment to reduce that amount by 26 percent would mean a reduction of 0.8 gigatons, while 41 percent would amount to a reduction of 1.2 gigatons. A reduction from an expected 2.9 to 1.7 gigatons by 2020 is a challenging commitment for a country aiming to maintain its 7 percent annual growth rate. Nevertheless, this commitment has been translated into a comprehensive National Action Plan known as RAN-GRK (PP 61/2011).

The National Action Plan for the Reduction of Green-house Gas Emissions (RAN-GRK) estimates that 87 percent of the emission-reduction target - approximately 1 gigaton - relates directly to the forestry and peat land sectors and, to address this, the government has adopted an incentive mechanism to improve management of the country’s vast forest resources while supporting climate-change mitigation. This mechanism, known as REDD+ (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation), has five primary objectives: (a) reduction of deforestation; (b) reduction of forest degradation; (c) conservation of carbon stocks; (d) sustainable forest management; and (e) enhancing carbon stocks.

On 26 May 2010 the Governments of Indonesia and Norway signed a Letter of Intent (LoI) to establish a REDD+ Partnership. The first phase of this REDD+ Partnership (Phase 1) was to establish an agency with the capacity to implement and manage REDD+ projects initially in the pilot province Central Kalimantan and progressively in other priority provinces across Indonesia. A Task Force (Satuan Tugas, Satgas) was established to support this initial phase and, as of June 2013 at the end of the Task Force’s mandate, the following progress was achieved:

Drafting of an integrated Presidential Regulation regarding the establishment of a REDD+ Agency and governance of REDD+ in Indonesia;
Finalisation of a REDD+ National Strategy (Stranas) and development of Provincial Strategies and Action Plans (PSAPs) for the eleven priority provinces;
Agreement on, and legal basis for, the structure and operations of a REDD+ Financial Instrument (FREDDI); its implementation awaits the establishment of the REDD+ Agency and the subsequent release of funding for Phase 2 of the LoI;
A methodology for the structure and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) of the MRV technical unit; while international standards and an international/national REDD+ registry remain in development, the unit is ready for mobilisation following the establishment of the REDD+ Agency;
Legal review of regulatory requirements related to REDD+ implementation in particular land tenure, forest and peat-land governance, forest monitoring and law enforcement, consolidation of land concessions, and a Moratorium on all new concessions for conversion of peat and natural forest in Indonesia; and
Successful implementation of a wide range of projects by the REDD+ Task Force in the pilot province Central Kalimantan with a focus on developing an operational capacity and an enabling environment for REDD+ projects.
These achievements have prepared a basic foundation for a future REDD+ national programme that aims to address the emission-reduction target for the forestry and peat-land sectors and the national long-term goals associated with sustainable economic development and poverty reduction.

Context of this ToR:

One of the strategies used by REDD+ Agency to implement REDD+ in Indonesia is to encourage the process of law enforcement in the forestry sector with multi-door approach. A multi-door approach is an approach that implements various laws and regulations in investigating crimes in the field of forestry. In connection with this, REDD+ Agency should have a team which focuses on law enforcement with multi-door approach.

This team should work to accelerate some priority cases happening in some provinces such as Aceh, Riau, South Sumatera and Central Kalimantan. These cases consist of the cases transferred by the Task Force of Judicial Mafia Eradication, the cases obtained from the report of the law enforcement, and the complaints from general public to REDD+ Agency.

Meanwhile, another important issue which REDD+ Agency focuses on is land-based conflict resolution. It is quite evident that the problems related to land-based conflict are related to the weak legislation, low capacity of the related institutions and lack of coordinating among ministries/institutions and local governments involved in the conflict resolution.

REDD+ Agency had established the team of conflict resolution and the team has been working intensively in five national parks, namely Kerinci Seblat, Tesso Nilo, Sebangau, Kutai and Kayan Mentarang National Parks.

There is correlation between conflict resolution issue and law enforcement issue. For sure, REDD+ Agency is mandated to work on both issues. In addition, some cases in land-based conflicts require the involvement law enforcement approach. It is in this context that REDD+ Agency needs to hire Senior Specialist of Legal and Law Enforcement. This position will be responsible to work on the aspect of law enforcement with multi-door approach and at the same time will support REDD+ Agency in general, including supporting the conflict resolution team.
