Overview

The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) is investing $7.3 million in the Indonesia Forestry and Climate Support program, which works with the Indonesian government, the private sector, and communities to improve forest governance and planning at the district level; promote sustainable forest management in target landscapes; and increase sustainable development of local economies by engaging private sector partners who can provide financing and technical expertise. The program supports key Indonesian climate change initiatives, including the objectives of the Norway-Indonesia Letter of Intent on Climate Change, the Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+) National Strategy, Low Emissions Development Strategies (LEDS), and systems for monitoring, reporting, and verifying greenhouse gas emissions.
