forestry may cause unequal representation of customary (Adat) contributions to forest management.
Adat communities are involved in both customary forest and village forest licenses. Confining Adat contribution strictly to customary forest licence is not recommended. There is a need for developing a business plan to ensure a viable business model for the social forestry mechanism.
There is an indication of potential conflicts with the plantation sector. Consequently, a cross-sectoral (plantation – forestry) conflict resolution mechanism (FGRM) is needed.
Issues Context Analysis Source of Data/Information needed integration effort of sectors
and community participation
For this sub-component, coordination and management are highly important aspect to ensure implementation of ER from deforestation and forest degradation program. As we known, the organizing of implementation ER program should be involved and integrated various sectors in the provincial government. The East Kalimantan Regional Council on Climate Change (DDPI) as an ad hoc institution that focus on climate change issues can take responsibility to integrate sectors program that potentially contribute to emission reduction. Beside coordination effort, its needed to developed performance indicator that measure achievement of emission reduction.
On the other hand, availability of credible information that related to activities plan, development fund, and baseline information about existing land used in the jurisdiction program area are important for delivering program. Innovation for program integration can be seen in development plan, Program integration requires information on proposed activities and budget as well as exsisting landuses in targeted areas. Key indicator for program integration can be evaluated through planning document which integrated to one map data infrastructure.
7.5.2. Sub-component 5.2. Monitoring and Evaluation
This sub-component is related to three out of the seven issues summarized in Table 39 below.

Integrated safeguard and monitoring system including
Measurement, Monitoring and reporting system
To anticipate dispute on implementation of management natural resources are needed establishment of safeguard and monitoring system. Considering to the jurisdiction of East Kalimantan Province, various of stakeholder involved, and expectation of parties participation, the program should create and improve Integrated safeguard and monitoring system. That system should be recognize and integrated into regular development government mechanism and accessable for community participation.
Beside the safeguard system, the program also should developed and established the Measurement, Monitoring and reporting (MMR) of emission reduction activities progress including of carbon status. The system

processes from national entities (ministry of forestry and Environment-MoEF), the system will integrate with national carbon monitoring system.
Established feedback and grievance redress mechanism (FGRM)
For implementation of program is need a tool for early identification, assessment and resolution on any complaints or conflicts on the activities and physical investment. The tool will be called FGRM and it should be accommodated and accessible for participation of parties and communities. It will express also program transparence and accountability
Actually, there is an existing monitoring system and FGRM in East Kalimantan, those system has been established to support sectors program implementation for improving social and environmental governance. The monitoring system and FGRM for FCPF carbon fund will used the existing system with improvement some parts to adapt with requirement of FCPF program implementation. Safeguard system, monitoring system, and FGRM is will be shown how the program delivered and containing information of program implementation. The system can be accessed online by parties or community, and any one can be given input or even complain directly through the system. For managing the system, East Kalimantan government will be established committee that involved multi stakeholder member.
7.5.3. Sub-component 5.3. Program Communication

Knowladge management system
Communication is very important instrument for implementation emision reduction program in East Kalimantan. East Kalimantan is the first REDD project as national approach and sub national implementation that will implement indonesia. Experience during processes since preparation and implementation will become important lesson for ER program development in Indonesia. Because, it can be important knowledge or lesson for other sub national contribution on NDC.
For most of people, ERP is relatively new development approach. Therefore FPIC is important step to deliver informatioan and knowledge to the community.
Communication is key for success of program implementation. ER is new approach in Indonesian development. This program is expected to bring many positive advantages during 5 years period.
Knowledge management and program communication will allow documentations of success story and lesson learned on implementation ER program. Knowledge management system and communication would enhance lessons learned and the knowledge sharing experience. Ultimately, this would provide opportunities for improving the strategies (learning from beginning). Additionally, program communication will allow participation of stakeholders in formulating approaches to prevent deforestation and degradation.
The potential environmental impacts from these sub-components would be indirect impacts from improved land governance. Environmental outcomes such as increased land cover and reduced fire hot spots can be anticipated. Additionally, improved forest management practices may promote an increase in protected areas or HCV areas. Negative impacts could include increased deforestation due to the increased access of local communities to forest areas. Such risk should be mitigated by empowering government staff/institutions at provincial and district levels (Component 2 of the ERP).
