WRI Indonesia - NICFI 2021-25: Enhance Community Forestry Tenure & Sustainable Livelihoods in Indonesia The project will facilitate an increase in the forest area in Indonesia obtaining status as “social forestry”, where IPLC-groups is granted legal access to manage state forests to improve their welfare and the environment. The project will also provide support to IPLC-groups to sustainably manage these forests. 

Project outcomes are:

1. Community forests managed by IPLC groups in 5 priority provinces (Aceh, West Sumatera, Jambi, East Kalimantan, North Kalimantan) are mapped, registered and recognised by the government.

2. IPLC groups at the priority provinces improved their capacity in managing and protecting their forest and land more sustainably and adopt forest-friendly livelihood opportunities.

3. Women and youth groups (16-30 years old) of IPLC at the priority provinces strengthened their influence and natural resource access in their communities’ forest and land use management.
 
4. IPLC groups at provinces gained meaningful support from key stakeholders to secure and manage their forest and lands sustainably. 

The project is organised as a consortium, led by WRI Indonesia, with local NGOs, Kommunitas Konservasi Indonesa (KKI) Warsi and Kawal Borneo Community Foundation (KBCF) being sub-grantees.
