Resumen
Descripción
Deforestation, a high number of CO2 emissions, biodiversity loss, and Indonesia’s commitment to economic development are always the key political drivers for international supports in Indonesia. These written motives have led to the question what are the actual or informal purpose of donors from forest development and which role do foreign donors play in Indonesia’s forest policy. To answer these questions, relevant donors were chosen (UKAID, USAID, and GIZ). Then, the assessment and analysis on their program interventions were made to understand the motivation and role of aid providers in forest development cooperation. In the last 20 years of program implementation, UKAID has successfully supported the initiation of the Timber Legality Assurance System (TLAS) and its recognition by the European Union, GIZ has contributed to the strengthening and mainstreaming Forest Management Unit at the provincial or landscape level and USAID made significant progress in helping Indonesia to absorb CO2 emission up to 5.3 million tons from improved sustainable forest management. Through their interventions and strategies, bilateral economic on legal timber trade between UK-Indonesia has improved, the political tie between Germany and ASEAN member state has strengthened, and USAID has gotten relevant data and information on its intervention of sustainable forest management in Indonesia. This data and information can be used for publication as well as pledging in supporting the tropic country.
