GIZ Indonesia for The Forests and Climate Change Program (FORCLIME): Junior Technical Advisor (duty based: Palu, Central Sulawesi)
The
Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH is an
international cooperation enterprise for sustainable development with worldwide
operations on behalf of the German
Government.
The Forests and Climate Change Program (FORCLIME)
supports the Government of Indonesia in their endeavor to mitigate the effects
of climate change through forestry sector reform, capacity development and
implementation of best management practices for sustainable forest management
and biodiversity conservation. Demonstration activities are being supported in
selected districts of Kalimantan to Reduce Emissions from Deforestation and
Degradation (“REDD” activities). FORCLIME is funded by the German Federal
Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and implemented by GIZ
(German International Cooperation) and KfW, the German Development Bank, with
the Indonesian Ministry of Forestry as the Programme Executing Agency. The Programme’s overall objective is to reduce greenhouse
gas emissions from the forest sector while improving the livelihoods of
Indonesia’s poor rural communities. To achieve this goal, the Programme team
assists the Indonesian Government in designing
and implementing legal, policy and institutional
reforms for the conservation and sustainable management of
forests, at local, provincial and national level. Support to REDD demonstration
activities are a key feature of the Programme, providing decision-makers with
experience of how REDD can be implemented “on the ground”.
