Exit Strategy: How Will Forest Investment Program II (FIP II) Go Forward in Central Sulawesi?

Abstract

The Climate Investment Funds are putting into action one of the strategic funding programs that deal with climate change. This program is called the Forest Investment Program (FIP) II in Indonesia, which exists in ten Forest Management Units (FMUs), including Dolago Tanggunung in Central Sulawesi. The program will entice investment in the FMU and terminate in 2022. This research will investigate the prospects for the program’s sustainability in the FMU of Dolago Tanggunung using a risk management approach and a literature review. The results of this study show that the FMU Manager will keep doing what funding has already done. Even though the budget isn’t massive, there are three priority programs: 1) KRC operationalization, 2) digital-based innovations, and 3) revision of the long-term forest management plan. But several programs will be added to Social Forestry to support the independent community empowerment that has already been done.
