Isi artikel

Indonesia needs a new approach to managing its forests, developed with participation of all stakeholders. The details should be left to the stakeholders, but one can project the key elements this new National Forest Program will need to include. The Government of Indonesia has already begun to take steps in this direction, but there has been little progress in the forests. The article lists several causes of deforestation including excess wood processing capacity, under-valuation of forests, official corruption, failure of governance and the rule of law, and estrangement of forest communities because of the failing past government policies. In addition, the author describes the Bank's role in providing policy inputs to the reform agenda in the forestry sector, such as its activity in coordinating the interaction between CGI donors and the Government of Indonesia. The author notes that the Government of Indonesia has recently been more receptive to advice on forest policies and showed political will to address the difficult issues such as illegal logging and corruption. These are encouraging developments that could pave the way for additional forest management assistance in the future.
