Evaluation Management Unit for Forestry, Land Use and Governance, Indonesia (FLAG EMU)

General

FLAG is a £32.5 million programme from 2015-2018 supporting action to reduce the rate of deforestation and peat land degradation in Indonesia. FLAG supports the Government of Indonesia’s targets for reducing emissions of greenhouse gas (GHG). The aim of the programme is to tackle a range of market and governance failures that drive unsustainable deforestation and peat land degradation in Indonesia. FLAG supports the Government of Indonesia in reforming land-use planning and licensing at the provincial level, strengthening local government and stakeholders’ capacity to implement the reform, and in improving the climate for Sustainable and responsible business, especially for palm oil. The purpose of the evaluation management unit is to independently assess the results achieved by FLAG and to learn where, when, for whom, how and why the investment approaches work within different contexts and sectors.
