An Analysis of the Forestry Sector’s Budget and Planning Policies
District of Ketapang – Province of West Kalimantan
The Reform Inititaives (TRI) has developed a series of analytical instruments for examining budget and planning policies in forest and land governance. These instruments will assess the extent to which local governments orientate public finances towards forestry development, and how beneficial it is for society in terms of environmental sustainability.
As for the ‘grand design’ for forestry development, in the context of budget policies it aims to; decrease rates of deforestation, rehabilitate critical land, facilitate community access to forest resources, and develop forestry institutions at the local level. Research into these policies was undertaken by processing and analysing local government budgets (APBD) from 2009 – 2013. Results from Muara Enim are outlined in this budget brief “Low Budget Commitment for Degraded Land Rehabilitation”.
