An Analysis of the Forestry Sector’s Budget and Planning Policies
Kabupaten Malinau – Province of North Kalimantan
The Reform Initiatives (TRI) has developed a series of analytical instruments for examining budget policies in forest and land management. These instruments will assess the extent to which local governments effectively manage public finances for forestry development, and how beneficial such development is for the community in ensuring environmental sustainability.
The forestry sector’s budget policies aim 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, with results from kabupaten Malinau outlined in the budget brief “Pressure to Invest in Conservationist Regency”.
