There is currently no international agreement about whether, or how, to incorporate actions to reduce emissions from deforested and degraded peat swamp forest in a future climate change agreement, and whether to incorporate these into future actions on REDD. Hydrological restoration activities under the KFCP will therefore be aimed at building international knowledge; and providing lessons learned to contribute to UNFCCC discussions through 2009, in areas such as research required to develop the methodologies required for estimating changes in GHG emissions from the interventions measurement and monitoring of peatland characteristics and GHG emissions, and in informing approaches for hydrological restoration and rehabilitation activities to reduce emissions from deforested and degraded peat swamp forests. A site-specific reference emissions level (REL) will be developed based on preintervention measurements of peat depth, deforestation rates, forest cover, socio-economic conditions, policies, and practices. Component 3: Practical and Effective REDD GHG Payment Mechanisms Demonstrated An important element of REDD demonstration activities will be to experiment with different approaches to establishing equitable and effective payment mechanisms. To be effective, REDD incentives must target both actors whose practices are proximate causes of deforestation and degradation as well as economic and policy drivers. Leading up to COP 15, learning about payment mechanisms will be more important than testing the actual payments in order to quickly gain experience that can inform international negotiations on REDD and prepare the basis for REDD payments once emission reductions have been achieved and verified. Progress towards making actual payments will have to be demonstrated later, to prepare to meet eventual market demand. Designing a workable payment mechanism or mechanisms will require not only technical solutions, but also a fair and transparent process of consultation with affected stakeholders accessible by poor and marginalized women and men. Incentives aimed at changing land use or forest management should directly target resource users (individuals or groups) but ensure that while much of the work is male dominated, women will have equal access to these resources. Incentives aimed at policy change should target appropriate agencies and levels of government. For example, districts could be provided with incentives for land use and development planning that reduces deforestation and forest degradation. Incentives aimed at changing economic drivers could target government, the private sector (such as through tax policy), or both. Initially, incentive payments will be made for achieving tangible milestones towards emissions reductions, including readiness as well as intervention strategies. Later, payments will link more directly to actual emissions reductions. Component 4: REDD Management/Technical Capacity and Readiness Developed at Provincial, District, Sub-district, and Village Levels This component is designed to integrate the KFCP and REDD into planning and governance at the province and district levels by developing management institutions, a legal framework, and technical capacity to support demonstration activities and eventually, local integration into a REDD carbon market. Political support already exists at the provincial level and will be built at the district level during the implementation phase. Because the forest use classification of the demonstration site is currently in transition, it will be important to establish a firm legal and operational basis for implementation—a Forest Management Unit is a promising option that will be investigated during the Early Implementation Phase with local government and MoF. There is also the issue of licences and approvals from GOI authorities surrounding the proposed interventions. The KFCP will work closely with the relevant district authorities as well as those of the province to ensure full compliance and integration of the activities. This process will help ensure development of operational links with the district and province and make certain the KFCP is part of the Kapuas District development plans. Efforts at technical capacity building will have to be closely coordinated with the proposed EMRP Master Plan Implementation Project because they will also be working on capacity development for peat management. The KFCP should focus primarily on REDD-related aspects. 1.4 MANAGEMENT AND COORDINATION The MoF is the KFCP‘s national-level executing agency within the GoI. The KFCP must develop a strong relationship with government at province and district levels as their political and administrative support will be essential for testing and implementing the various REDD-related interventions. Provincial government 6 KALIMANTAN FORESTS AND CLIMATE PARTNERSHIP (KFCP) DESIGN DOCUMENT
will provide policy guidance and support, while the district will provide technical coordination among government agencies. The entire demonstration site is within the Kapuas District, which has legal authority over land use outside the forest estate and has an important voice in land tenure decisions. Ultimately, the sustainability of REDD interventions will rest on how well the process has been accepted and institutionalised at the provincial and district levels. Acceptance has legal, institutional, and political dimensions. The PO established an interim KFCP office in the provincial capital of Palangka Raya, colocated with the Provincial Planning Board. It is expected that the KFCP will maintain its current office and may establish subsidiary offices in one or more of the following towns: Kuala Kapuas (the district capital), and/or Mantangai or Timpah (the two sub-district capitals). Management Structure and Coordinating Mechanisms. Figures 4 a and b depict the management structure for the KFCP. Implementation will be the responsibility of a Managing Contractor, chosen through a competitive bidding process. A coordinator, based in Palangka Raya, will head the MC‘s KFCP team, and manage field demonstration activities with the support of a small technical staff. The coordinator will supervise the IP‘s work and ensure their activities are coordinated. KFCP coordinating teams at the provincial and district levels, comprised of government officials and other stakeholders, will ensure that field implementation is coordinated with government agencies and plans. A provincial secretariat, and possibly one at district level, will facilitate government interactions. The KFCP Coordinating Committee will provide implementation guidance through the PO, which will facilitate communications with the IAFCP Steering Committee, the MoF, and other GoI agencies that may become actively involved as payment mechanisms and REDD monitoring protocols are developed and GoI‘s REDD institutions evolve. 1.5 OTHER DESIGN FACTORS Cross-Cutting Issues. The KFCP‘s design and implementation will comply with GoA and GoI policies on gender/social disparity, anti-corruption, environmental protection, and child protection. Guidelines for ensuring compliance are discussed in Section 5. Sustainability and Risk Management. Achieving sustainability will require managing risk, which has technical, governance, social, REDD, climate, and management dimensions as discussed in Section 6 and the Risk Matrix in Attachment 11. Monitoring and Evaluation. The IAFCP M&E specialist, together with the KFCP coordinator and the PO, will develop a comprehensive Monitoring and Evaluation Plan for the KFCP within three months of inception. This plan must be able to be operationalised—that is, a fully elaborated plan with fully designed methods and tools for comprehensive M&E activities, including evaluative research, sound management of spatial and non-spatial data, and coordinated data sharing with relevant government agencies and IPs. At a minimum, it will comprise objective and verifiable indicators of intermediate results and outputs, including measurement or estimation of the following: Interventions to avoid or reduce peatland degradation, such as re-wetting and re-greening; Fire risk reduction; GHG emissions levels (REL and reductions); Governance indicators appropriate for payment mechanisms; Distribution of incentives and other benefits; Social, economic, and environmental impacts; and Gender disaggregated data from activity to impact level. Budget. A summary budget, covering the early implementation phase and AusAID fiscal years 2010 through 2012 is provided in Attachment 8. The KFCP has a total budget of AUD 30 million, with an additional AUD 1.4 million to contribute to peat and GHG estimates. The summary budget, which includes the additional AUD 1.4 million, is provided in Section 8.1 and Attachment 8. KALIMANTAN FORESTS AND CLIMATE PARTNERSHIP (KFCP) DESIGN DOCUMENT 7
