Among its activities, the project will support community-based participatory land mapping, as well as the conservation and enhancement of biodiversity. The J-SLMP takes a comprehensive landscape approach to reducing emissions and improving livelihoods, and is working with the government of Indonesia to strengthen policies and institutions to enhance effective land management regulation and enforcement, focusing on harmonizing policies and approaches across sectors.
The J-SLMP has three components:
-
Strengthening policy and institutions to improve cross-sectoral coordination and action to address drivers of emissions in Jambi, including supporting the enabling environment for an emission reductions program;
-
Integrating forest and land management in Jambi, particularly through sustainable forest management, agricultural intensification and diversification, conservation and restoration, and value chain sustainability; and
-
Supporting national and provincial-level project coordination and management, including monitoring, evaluation, and reporting.
