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 plantation development, and how well-oriented such development is towards improving public welfare and ensuring environmental sustainability.
Research was undertaken by processing and analysing local government budgets (APBD) from 2009 – 2012, with results from kabupaten Malinau outlined in the budget brief “Towards Increasing the Productivity and Quality of Plantations”.
The primary purpose of this research is to: (i) ascertain how local policies (budget and planning) improve the quality of forest and land management; (ii) analyse potential and realised forms of local revenue sourced from land-based industries; (iii) identify how and which local expenditure policies are accelerating improvements in forest and land management and; (iv) utilise budget instruments as a valuable means for helping regions improve their forest and land management.
