19.5.3.1 REDD+ Working Group of Central Sulawesi Province
The REDD+ working group is responsible for developing REDD+ infrastructure and social, economic, and environmental safeguard mechanisms to enable Central Sulawesi to be ‘ready’ for REDD+ implementation. By the end of 2011, sub-working group 1 had formulated the draft of REDD+ local strategy. It is a guideline for REDD+ implementation at the provincial level. Sub-working group 2 is developing the institutional planning and methodology to undertake REL/RL and MRV mechanisms at the provincial level. Sub-working group 3 has developed the criteria and indicators for demonstration activities. Five areas have been nominated, namely, Dampelas region in Donggala district, Tinombo region in
Parigi Moutong district, Lore Lindu National Park in Poso district, Tojo Una-una, and Toli-toli (Forest People Programme 2011). Meanwhile, sub-working group 4 is developing and testing methods of UNREDD FPIC implementation in Central Sulawesi Province. During a seminar and workshop, the REDD+ working group members identified their capacity, capability, competence, and constraints in developing REDD+ infrastructure. Also, they developed a social, economic, and environmental safeguards mechanism to facilitate Central Sulawesi Province as ‘ready’ for REDD+ implementation.
