Project objectives
To engage Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities (IPLC), facilitate greater participation in tenure security processes and create livelihood opportunities from the sustainable management of forests and land. The project aimed to provide a strategic contribution to the lives of IPLC households and their tenure security.
To strengthen the capacity of IPLC households to obtain secure and equitable access – and control over – forest and agricultural land. This is an important step in facilitating IPLC household engagement with Forest Investment Plans (FIP) and other REDD+ programmes, since access to land is a critical requirement for IPLCs to obtain recognition from the state in Indonesia.
Project components/ target outputs
The aim of DGM-I is to support the technical, institutional and communication capacities of IPLCs, so that they can participate in REDD+ policy dialogues, while also improving their livelihoods and traditional land management. In its development, the objectives of DGM-I were stated explicitly in the original regional revenue (PAD) document, namely: “to increase the capacity of IPLCs to participate in natural resource management by securing forest tenure and increasing opportunities to earn a living from forest management”.
All activities are focused on three main components, namely:
- Strengthening capacity to improve certainty of IP/LC tenure over forest land;
- Building IP/LC capacity to improve lives/livelihoods;
- Capacity building for NSC and Project Management and monitoring and evaluation (M&E)
