Kalimantan Forests and Climate Partnership (KFCP) Design ...

Capacity for Effective Governance
Starting in the early implementation phase, the KFCP will endeavour to facilitate governance and
institutional arrangements based on principles of transparency, accountability, good governance and
participation following a roadmap for local government engagement proposed by CARE. It will be
critical to build local government ownership of KFCP activities in order to ensure sustainability after
the formal implementation period.
Training workshops in REDD awareness will be designed and pilot tested for government officials and
other important stakeholders at the district level. Initially the training component will emphasise the
need to build local government capacity to support the implementation of the KFCP and other REDD
initiatives in Central Kalimantan, particularly in the Kapuas District. Training will emphasise the
importance of good governance through multi-stakeholder approaches.
Long-term training needs in Central Kalimantan are significant. During early implementation, the
KFCP will review existing training and capacity-building efforts related to REDD in the province and
undertake a detailed assessment of training needs; develop training modules; identify prospective
participants from local government, the private sector, and civil society; and undertake pilot-testing of
training modules. Core training modules are likely to include multi-stakeholder processes, conflict
resolution, application of the freedom of information act (Law No 14/2008), the Master Plan for the
Rehabilitation of the Ex-Mega Rice Project Area, and concepts, methods and risk management
associated with REDD. The initial focus of training will be on building capacity in local government,
particularly in key agencies directly involved in the KFCP.
Fostering a wider understanding of REDD will support implementation of the KFCP, through building
awareness and creating a more realistic set of expectations around REDD, and long-term commitment
and acceptance on REDD from local stakeholders.
