The implementation arrangements for the J-SLMP are consistent with regulations on local governments (i.e. Law No. 23/2014) which distributes functions and authorities on land use management to national, provincial, and district governments. For the forestry sector, the provincial government has authority over production and protected forest area utilization; the district government has authority over management of Forest Parks; and all other forest areas are under the authority of the central government through MoEF, including the implementation of the forthcoming ER Program as the “Program Entity”. More specifically, MoEF through the MPI of the DG-CC will be the primary managing agency in close coordination with other Directorates in DG-CC such as Sectoral and Regional Resources Mobilization (Dit. M2SR), Sumatera Region Office of Land and Forest Fire and Climate Change Management (Balai PPI Karhutla), and Green House Gases Inventory (Dit. IGRK).
Given the J-SLMP is taking a comprehensive landscape approach to reducing emissions and improving livelihoods, the implementation arrangements reflect this through multi-sectoral arrangements. In addition to DG-CC, the MoA is the main authority in charge for agriculture development as part of J-SLMP. The Development Planning Ministry (Bappenas) is involved in the implementation arrangements for the J-SLMP due to its essential role in overseeing the synergy between these sectors, as well as between different levels of government (District, Province, and Central).

At the provincial level, the responsible party for J-SLMP implementation is the Provincial Secretary (SEKDA)/BAPPEDA acting as the coordinator of PMU, supported by the Provincial Forestry Agency, Environmental Service (Dinas Lingkungan Hidup). During implementation of the J-SLMP and future ERP the Sekda/BAPPEDA will be advised by the Joint Secretariat (SEKBER), a multi-stakeholder forum for the planning and implementation of REDD+.
The Joint Secretariat for Forest Resource Management (SEKBER) in Jambi Province is a key partner in the implementation of the J-SLMP and future ERP Program. The SEKBER is a multi-stakeholder organization that has coordinated the planning and implementation of low-emission development (mainly in forestry/land-use sector) in Jambi Province. It has significant experience (as well as operational infrastructure) in the management of donor development funding. A list of institutions and their respective roles are provided in Table 7, while the institutional arrangement is shown in Figure 6.
