Program Overview
WRI Indonesia is an independent research organization that turns big ideas into action at the nexus of environment, economic opportunity, and human well-being. At WRI Indonesia, we aim to bring innovations in research and business approaches to create the enabling conditions for Indonesia to achieve robust economic growth while respecting environmental and social values. We seek to contribute to the accomplishment of ambitious sustainable development goals through working with leaders in public and private sectors, as well as collaborating with civil society organizations, in turning big ideas into action.
Within our Forests, Land use, and Water (FLW) Program, Forests, People, and Climate (FPC) is a collaboration between philanthropic donors and civil society organizations (CSOs) seeking to halt and reverse tropical deforestation while delivering just and sustainable development. We focus on equitable and enduring solutions that safeguard tropical forests and support those defending them, in particular Indigenous Peoples and local communities. Through this collaboration, experts, CSOs, and donor partners identify the strategic priorities that must be addressed to end and reverse deforestation, mobilize the funding for those priorities, and connect with and strengthen broader networks of partners to move funding to support the work.
In collaboration with partners, including the World Resources Institute (WRI), FPC is designing a Monitoring and Learning (M&L) framework, which is fully integrated with FPC’s Indonesia strategy development and implementation processes, to help inform our collective efforts and refine the strategies based on what we learn about how and where FPC support is having the greatest impact. The M&L framework aims to function as a service to the field, so that FPC and its partners can track progress towards objectives and goals more effectively (and use monitoring evidence to adapt living strategies), harness decision-useful data, and collectively shift the power associated with monitoring - typically a top-down, donor-driven, and resource-intensive process - to tropical forest countries.
FPC Indonesia Strategy and Pathways
