Project Overview and Role: Background DFID has appointed Palladium, in collaboration with KEHATI and Systemiq, to deliver the fourth phase of the Multistakeholder Forestry Programme in Indonesia (MFP4). MFP4 will support Indonesia to achieve its ambitions on sustainable timber and community forestry. The programme will operate for an initial period of 3 years, with a possible extension to 5 years. MFP4 is committed to enhancing the positive impact of social forestry through two workstreams. A. Sustainable and legal timber: Ensuring the sustainability of Indonesia’s governance reform in the timber sector through the national timber legality assurance system ‘SVLK’, which underpins the Forest Law Enforcement, Governance and Trade (FLEGT) licensing scheme; and B. Community forest business development: Facilitating the expansion of community forest businesses through increased access to skills, finance, knowledge and services for business development and forest stewardship. The MFP4 team has developed a Gender Equality and Social Inclusion (GESI) strategy to support both Workstreams by encouraging a focus on women and marginalized groups as beneficiaries, and contribute to the inclusivity of the Social Forestry initiative of the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (MOEF). We will apply four principles: recognition, participation, representation and economic empowerment. MFP4 will conduct a study on women’s participation, representation and leadership in SVLK. This study will portrait women experiences and roles in SVLK development and implementation. In this process, MOEF and other ministries such as Foreign Affairs and Industry, as well as civil society independent forest monitoring groups, timber businesses and support programmes, worked together to implement legal and system reforms to prevent illegal logging. During the development process, more than fifteen women were key players and have been involved in establishing SVLK since the beginning. And some of them keep involving during the implementation and contribute their ideas and thoughts. Their valuable story, in the period of development and implementation, can be taken as inspiration for women leadership in policy development within the MOEF in future. MFP4 will draw lessons from their experience to inspire further women’s leadership in MOEF and within the relevant ministries. Furthermore, their experiences will contribute to better understanding of women’s leadership in Indonesia’s timber sector. The findings and recommendation of the study will be shared through MFP4’s Learning Exchanges, as well as wider networks and partners.

Deliver recommendations on a) SVLK further development and b) gender mainstreaming in MOEF to stakeholders and other relevant ministries, related to women's leadership and involvement to strengthen the SVLK development.
