The governments of Seruyan and Kotawaringin Barat are committed to produce all commodities in their districts sustainably. Through the Jurisdictional Certiﬁcation program, district governments issue regulations to apply sustainable principles and criteria throughout the districts.

\

Transforming regulations and policies into meaningful changes requires engaging with rural communities. Rural communities are the most vulnerable to climate change and extreme weather events, such as ﬂoods and wildﬁres. Farmers can also drive environmental change through the over-exploitation of natural resources, including logging and forest conversion, and the adoption of unsustainable farming practices. To become the agents of positive change, farmers need proﬁtable and practical livelihoods that enable them to protect and restore nature.

\

To support the adoption of sustainable livelihoods among rural communities in Central Kalimantan, two district-wide sustainable village development programs were created. Called Gawi Bahaum in Kotawaringin Barat district and Gawi Bapakat in Seruyan district, the GB programs were launched to provide all villages with access to ﬁnancial and technical support to make the transition towards sustainability. Local communities, through a bottom up process, can propose for ﬁnancial and technical support for sustainable livelihoods in their villages. GB programs are designed with a simple application process, using a bottom-up approach, to ensure that the program is accessible for all communities in the two districts.

Pemerintah Kabupaten Seruyan dan Kotawaringin Barat berkomitmen untuk memproduksi seluruh komoditas di kabupatennya secara berkelanjutan. Melalui program Sertifikasi Yurisdiksi, pemerintah kabupaten mengeluarkan peraturan untuk menerapkan prinsip dan kriteria berkelanjutan di seluruh kabupaten.

\
Mengubah peraturan dan kebijakan menjadi perubahan yang bermakna membutuhkan keterlibatan dengan masyarakat pedesaan. Masyarakat pedesaan adalah yang paling rentan terhadap perubahan iklim dan peristiwa cuaca ekstrem, seperti banjir dan kebakaran hutan. Petani juga dapat mendorong perubahan lingkungan melalui eksploitasi sumber daya alam yang berlebihan, termasuk penebangan dan konversi hutan, serta penerapan praktik pertanian yang tidak berkelanjutan. Untuk menjadi agen perubahan positif, petani membutuhkan mata pencaharian yang menguntungkan dan praktis yang memungkinkan mereka melindungi dan memulihkan alam.

\
Untuk mendukung adopsi mata pencaharian berkelanjutan di antara masyarakat pedesaan di Kalimantan Tengah, dua program pembangunan desa berkelanjutan di tingkat kabupaten telah dibuat. Disebut Gawi Bahaum di Kabupaten Kotawaringin Barat dan Gawi Bapakat di Kabupaten Seruyan, program GB diluncurkan untuk memberi semua desa akses ke dukungan keuangan dan teknis untuk melakukan transisi menuju keberlanjutan. Masyarakat lokal, melalui proses dari bawah ke atas, dapat mengajukan dukungan finansial dan teknis untuk penghidupan berkelanjutan di desa mereka. Program GB dirancang dengan proses aplikasi yang sederhana, menggunakan pendekatan dari bawah ke atas, untuk memastikan bahwa program dapat diakses oleh semua masyarakat di kedua kabupaten tersebut.

Three decades ago, the world was searching for the best ways to achieve sustainable and responsible palm oil.

\
In 2004, the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) was established with a mission to promote the practice and use of sustainable palm oil production, creating global standards and engaging with stakeholders from different sectors of the industry.

\
Now, the certification body has pushed the implementation of sustainability along the supply chains.   However, more efforts are still needed to include more independent smallholders in the sustainable global supply chains.

\
Small-scale farmers are often left out of progress as they face significant obstacles to achieving certification, including financial challenges and lack of access to land ownership and plantation permits. Moreover, they also have poor access to training to address these problems.

\
In Indonesia, the largest producer of palm oil in the world, smallholders also face similar problems. And, consequently, very few Indonesian independent smallholders have been certified.

\
External support from civil society organizations and companies can help to some extent, such as funding the certification costs and providing training for smallholders. But this kind of  approach is not sufficient  for the independent smallholders in achieving a systematic inclusion in sustainable supply chains for the long run.

Tiga dekade lalu, dunia masih mencari metode terbaik untuk membangun minyak sawit yang berkelanjutan dan bertanggung jawab.

\
Pada tahun 2004, Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) didirikan dengan misi untuk mempromosikan praktik dan penggunaan produksi minyak sawit berkelanjutan, menciptakan standar global dan melibatkan pemangku kepentingan dari berbagai sektor industri. Sekarang, lembaga sertifikasi telah mendorong penerapan keberlanjutan di sepanjang rantai pasokan.

\
Namun, masih banyak upaya yang diperlukan untuk memasukkan lebih banyak petani swadaya ke dalam rantai pasok global yang berkelanjutan.

\
Petani kecil sering kali tertinggal karena mereka terhambat untuk mencapai sertifikasi, seperti keterbatasan dana dan akses ke kepemilikan tanah dan izin perkebunan. Selain itu, mereka juga sulit mendapatkan pelatihan untuk mengatasi masalah ini.

\
Di Indonesia, negara produsen minyak sawit terbesar di dunia, masalah yang serupa juga dihadapi para petani kecil. Dan, akibatnya, sangat sedikit petani swadaya Indonesia yang telah tersertifikasi.

\
Dukungan eksternal dari organisasi masyarakat sipil dan perusahaan dapat membantu sampai tingkat tertentu, seperti pendanaan biaya sertifikasi dan pelatihan bagi petani kecil. Namun pendekatan semacam ini tidak cukup bagi pekebun swadaya untuk mencapai inklusi sistematis dalam rantai pasokan berkelanjutan untuk jangka panjang.

The concept of forest management, which was originally based on sustainable timber production, has now developed into the concept of sustainable forest management (PHL) with regard to the production continuous flow of desired forest ecosystem products and services with reduction of undesirable effects on the physical and social environment (ITTO 1992).

\
From this understanding it can be said that the implementation of PHL is expected to maintain forest sustainability and the benefits it can provide for present and future generations. The concept of PHL continues to develop along with the increasing awareness and understanding on the importance of forest resources, as well as encouragement from various parties who demand sustainable development by maintaining a balance of ecological, social, and economic aspects which later become the principles and benchmarks in the assessment of PHL (Pratama and Maryudi 2021, Djamal *et al*. 2018).

\
The principle of ecological, social, and economic sustainability have been developed as a measuring tool by several forest certification schemes, either mandatory or voluntary. Since 2009, for example, Indonesia has developed a Timber Legality Assurance System (SVLK) which is currently being transformed into a Legality and Sustainability Assurance System (SVLK, under Regulation of Minister of Environment and Forestry No. 8/2021). SVLK consists of Sustainable Forest Management Certification (S-PHL) and Timber Legality Certification *(S-Legalitas)* which are mandatory for log producers and their processing industries. However, only *S-Legalitas* is required for holders of social forestry permits with the Community Plantation Forest (HTR) scheme, private forest owners, IPK (timber utilization permit) holders, owners of legality for the use of timber forest products, and the downstream timber sector (Regulation of Minister of Environment and Forestry No.21/2020).

\
Several voluntary forest certification schemes currently implemented in Indonesia are the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) and the Program for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC) which are global certification schemes (Kartika *et al.* 2020), and the Indonesian Ecolabelling Institute (LEI) which was the first initiator of forest and timber certification in Indonesia (Wibowo *et al.* 2015). Similar to the SVLK, the FSC, PEFC, and LEI certification schemes have systems and standards for sustainable production forest management and chain of custody.

Konsep pengelolaan hutan yang pada awalnya berdasarkan kelangsungan produksi kayu kini telah berkembang menjadi konsep pengelolaan hutan lestari (PHL) untuk mencapai produksi hasil dan jasa ekosistem hutan secara terus menerus dengan mengurangi dampak lingkungan fisik dan sosial yang tidak diinginkan (ITTO 1992). Dari pengertian tersebut dapat dikatakan bahwa penerapan PHL diharapkan akan mampu mempertahankan kelestarian hutan berikut manfaat yang dapat disediakannya bagi generasi saat ini maupun generasi selanjutnya. Konsep PHL terus mengalami perkembangan seiring meningkatnya kesadaran dan pemahaman manusia akan pentingnya sumber daya hutan, serta adanya dorongan dari berbagai pihak yang menuntut pembangunan berkelanjutan dengan menjaga keseimbangan aspek ekologi, sosial, dan ekonomi yang kemudian menjadi prinsip dan tolak ukur dalam penilaian PHL (Pratama dan Maryudi 2021, Djamal *et al*. 2018).

\
Prinsip kelestarian ekologi, sosial, dan ekonomi dikembangkan sebagai alat ukur oleh beberapa skema sertifikasi hutan baik yang bersifat wajib atau pun yang bersifat sukarela. Sejak tahun 2009, misalnya, Indonesia telah mengembangkan Sistem Verifikasi Legalitas Kayu (SVLK) yang saat ini bertransformasi menjadi Sistem Verifikasi Legalitas dan Kelestarian (Permen LHK No.8/2021). SVLK terdiri dari Sertifikasi Pengelolaan Hutan Lestari (S-PHL) dan Sertifikasi Legalitas Kayu *(S-Legalitas)* yang bersifat wajib untuk produsen kayu bulat dan industri pengolahannya. Namun demikian, hanya *S-Legalitas* yang diwajibkan bagi pemegang izin perhutanan sosial dengan skema Hutan Tanaman Rakyat (HTR), pemilik hutan hak, pemegang IPK, pemilik legalitas pemanfaatan hasil hutan kayu, dan sektor hilir kayu (Permen LHK No.21/2020).

\
Beberapa skema sertifikasi hutan sukarela yang saat ini diterapkan di Indonesia adalah Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) dan Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC) yang merupakan skema sertifikasi global (Kartika *et al.* 2020), dan Lembaga Ekolabel Indonesia (LEI) yang merupakan inisiator sertifikasi hutan dan kayu pertama di Indonesia (Wibowo *et al.* 2015). Sama halnya dengan SVLK, skema sertifikasi FSC, PEFC, dan LEI memiliki sistem dan standar pengelolaan hutan produksi lestari dan lacak balak.

# **What Is Intensive Silviculture, and Why Is It Important?**

Intensive Silviculture (hereinafter abbreviated as SILIN) is one of the cultivation techniques in forest management, especially production forest (both natural forest and plantation forest). SILIN is referred to as a cultivation technique that not only simplifies forest cover maintenance but also increases the value or volume of logging.

\
In Indonesia, SILIN is mentioned under the Regulation of the Minister of Forestry Number P.65 of 2014 (amendment to P.11 of 2009) on the Silvicultural System in the Area of​​ Timber Forest Products Utilization Business Permits in Production Forests (IUPHHK-HP). This regulation was later revoked with the stipulation of Regulation of the Minister of Environment and Forestry Number P.8 of 2021 on Forest Management and Development of Forest Management Plan, as well as Forest Utilization in Protected Forests and Production Forests.

\
SILIN is considered a solution that can improve productivity so that forestry businesses run normally and sustainably, on par with other businesses in terms of properly paying their workers and providing employment, as well as creating new forest products.

The conditions of natural production forest that tend to be increasingly damaged and the implementation of cultivation systems which are considered unable to keep up with the increasing rate of timber demand due to decreased production as well as decreased area and quality of production forests are said to be the background for the implementation of SILIN. For example, privately owned forests in Gunungkidul District, Yogyakarta Special Region, have tried to meet the increasing market demand for teak (*Tectona grandis*) by increasing the area and production of community forests.

\
However, conventional cultivation techniques used by community forest smallholders cause the quality and selling price of the timber produced to be much lower than the teak from *Perum Perhutani*. SILIN combines three main elements in forest cultivation techniques, namely (1) the use of superior seeds; (2) environmental manipulation (to provide optimal sunlight and fertile soil); and (3) integrated pest control. The use of genetically superior seeds and planting them in optimal conditions are able to generate forest products with superior quality, competitive prices, and efficient and sustainable use of forest land.

# **Apa dan mengapa Silvikultur Intensif?**

Silvikultur Intensif (selanjutnya disingkat SILIN) merupakan salah satu teknik budidaya dalam pengelolaan hutan, khususnya hutan produksi (baik hutan alam maupun hutan tanaman). SILIN disebut sebagai teknik budidaya yang tidak hanya menyederhanakan pemeliharaan tutupan hutan namun juga meningkatkan nilai atau volume tebangan. Di Indonesia, SILIN muncul pada Peraturan Menteri Kehutanan Nomor P.65 Tahun 2014 (perubahan atas P.11 Tahun 2009) tentang Sistem Silvikultur dalam Areal Izin Usaha Pemanfaatan Hasil Hutan Kayu pada Hutan Produksi. Peraturan ini kemudian dicabut dengan berlakunya Peraturan Menteri Lingkungan Hidup dan Kehutanan Nomor P.8 Tahun 2021 tentang Tata Hutan dan Penyusunan Rencana Pengelolaan Hutan, serta Pemanfaatan Hutan di Hutan Lindung dan Hutan Produksi. SILIN disebut sebagai solusi yang dapat meningkatkan produktivitas agar bisnis kehutanan normal dan berkelanjutan, setara dengan bisnis lain dalam hal menggaji karyawan dengan layak dan penyerapan tenaga kerja, serta menciptakan produk hasil hutan baru.

\
Kondisi hutan alam produksi yang cenderung semakin rusak serta pelaksanaan sistem budidaya yang dianggap belum mampu mengimbangi peningkatan laju kebutuhan kayu akibat penurunan produksi serta penurunan luas dan kualitas hutan produksi disebut menjadi latar belakang penerapan SILIN. Sebagai contoh, petani Hutan Rakyat di Kabupaten Gunungkidul, Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta telah mencoba memenuhi peningkatan permintaan pasar terhadap kayu Jati (*Tectona grandis*) by increasing the area and production of community forests. However, conventional cultivation techniques used by community forest smallholders cause the quality and selling price of the timber produced to be much lower than the teak from *Perum Perhutani*. SILIN menggabungkan 3 (tiga) elemen utama dalam teknik budidaya hutan yaitu: (1) Penggunaan bibit unggul; (2) Manipulasi lingkungan (untuk menyediakan sinar matahari yang optimal dan tanah yang subur); serta (3) Pengendalian hama terpadu. The use of genetically superior seeds and planting them in optimal conditions are able to generate forest products with superior quality, competitive prices, and efficient and sustainable use of forest land.

\
A simple white cap and rubber boots are everyday sights at the plant restoration nursery in Pematang Limau Village. They are the trademark of Mbah Trisno, who is in charge of monitoring the progress of the nursery on a daily basis.

\
Although born in Nganjuk, East Java, in 1951, Pematang Limau has been his home for over 44 years. His journey began in 1970, from Central Java to Aceh, to participate in government programs. Ever since – following the dynamic economic flow of the era – Mbah Trisno has made the choice to live far from his homeland.

\
Although Mbah Trisno is fully occupied selling chips, *peyek*, and butterfly pea flower tea to his many loyal customers, he can still make time for ecosystem restoration activities in Pematang Limau Village. His occupation, which is quite the opposite, does not prevent him from joining the restoration team.

\
However, his previous experience as a patchouli farmer years ago can be applied to the nursery process. So far, many restoration plant seeds have been collected, namely 500 Langiran seedlings, 500 Galam seedlings, 1,500 Albasia seedlings, 625 Pinang seedlings, 625 Petai seedlings, and 600 fruit seedlings.

\
 ![](https://petani.s3-ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/ourstoryentity/5146f969-ee44-415d-898a-816c9c46b507.JPG)

\
A rooster crowing accompanied our conversation with Mbah Trisno that morning. With a friendly smile, he said he had joined the restoration team on November 2, 2022. In addition, although he is no longer young, he still contributes to society by being a Tanggul Harapan Forest Farmers Group chairperson. Not only has Mbah Trisno mastered the nursery procedure, he also has in-depth understanding of ecosystem restoration as a whole.

\
"The soil conditions here are fertile and do not contain peat, so they are only slightly acidic for the mineral soil category," said Mbah Trisno. With the addition of specific doses of dolomite, the soil's acidity level can be addressed, and the soil can be replanted after moss growth. Mbah Trisno understands very well that moss growth is one of the indicators of soil fertility.

\

\
Despite his experience, the nursery restoration process is not without its obstacles. "It is challenging to find seedlings for certain plants such as Laban and Resak. If seedlings have been obtained, they die as soon as we replant them," Mbah Trisno added.

\
Another obstacle is in training the community in the nursery process. "Maybe we have failed three times. Fortunately, progress started to be visible in the fourth trial," he admitted. Even so, he remained enthusiastic about going through the process. "From the outcomes of this ecosystem restoration, when I am no longer here, at least I can leave a legacy that the community can remember," he added.

\
With an optimistic outlook, Mbah Trisno said he wanted to witness and benefit from this ecosystem restoration activity. "My favorite fruits are Petai and Durian. We can pick and eat them directly for free. If we buy them, the price is quite expensive," he said, laughing. He envisions that there will be various lush trees, and the locals will farm a variety of crops.

\
The village will also become more sustainable. "Hopefully, this restoration activity can benefit the village community and improve their standard of living to make it more feasible, because the community can do intercropping farming after this restoration activity," said Mbah Trisno, full of hope for the future.

Peci putih sederhana dan sepatu boot karet, dua hal tersebut sudah bukan menjadi pemandangan asing di tempat penyemaian benih tanaman restorasi di Desa Pematang Limau. Begitulah keseharian Mbah Trisno yang bertanggung jawab untuk proses pembibitan tanaman.

\
Pria kelahiran Nganjuk tahun 1951 ini sudah lebih dari 44 tahun menetap di desa tersebut. Perjalanan merantaunya di mulai pada tahun  1970 dari Jawa Tengah ke Aceh untuk mengikuti program pemerintah. Sejak saat itu – mengikuti arus perekonomian yang dinamis pada era tersebut – Mbah Trisno sudah memantapkan hatinya untuk hidup di perantauan jauh dari tanah kelahirannya. \n  \n Meskipun disibukkan dengan berjualan keripik, peyek dan teh bunga telang, Mbah Trisno masih dapat meluangkan waktunya untuk kegiatan restorasi ekosistem di Desa Pematang Limau walau sudah banyak memiliki pelanggan. Latar belakang profesi yang cukup bertolak belakang tidak menjadi penghalang baginya untuk bergabung dengan tim restorasi ini.

\
Namun, sepertinya pengalaman Mbah Trisno yang pernah menjadi petani nilam beberapa tahun silam dapat Beliau terapkan di kegiatan pengadaan bibit restorasi. Sejauh ini, sudah banyak bibit tanaman restorasi yang dikumpulkan, yaitu ada 500 bibit Langiran, 500 bibit Galam, 1.500 bibit Albasia, 625 bibit Pinang, 625 bibit Petai, dan 600 bibit buah-buahan.

\
 ![](https://petani.s3-ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/ourstoryentity/5146f969-ee44-415d-898a-816c9c46b507.JPG)

\
Suara ayam berkokok menemani pembicaraan kami dengan Mbah Trisno pagi itu. Dengan senyumnya yang ramah, Mbah Trisno mengutarakan bahwa Beliau belum lama bergabung dengan tim restorasi ini, yaitu pada tanggal 2 November 2022. Di usianya yang sudah tidak muda lagi, Mbah Trisno juga masih dapat meluangkan waktu untuk berpartisipasi dalam Kelompok Tani Hutan Tanggul Harapan sebagai ketua. Tidak hanya menguasai ilmu-ilmu pembibitan, pemahaman Mbah Trisno mengenai restorasi ekosistem secara keseluruhan juga cukup mendalam.

\
“Kondisi tanah di sini cukup subur dan bukan gambut, hanya sedikit masam saja untuk kategori tanah mineral,” ujar Mbah Trisno. Dengan penambahan dolomit, tingkat kemasaman tanah dapat diatasi dan tanah dapat ditanami kembali setelah adanya pertumbuhan lumut. Mbah Trisno memahami betul bahwa pertumbuhan lumut adalah salah satu indikator kesuburan tanah.

\
 ![](https://petani.s3-ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/ourstoryentity/59718ea3-3b40-498d-9034-2aaae8798f37.JPG)

\
Dengan pengalaman Mbah Trisno yang panjang, proses pembibitan restorasi ini bukan berarti tanpa adanya hambatan. “Saat ini susah sekali untuk menemukan bibit anakan untuk tanaman tertentu seperti laban dan resak. Jika bibit anakannya sudah didapatkan, tidak lama kemudian mati ketika dicoba untuk ditanam kembali,” ungkap Mbah Trisno.

\
Ada pun kendala lainnya, yaitu dalam melatih masyarakat pada proses pembibitan. “Mungkin sudah ada tiga kali kami ini gagal. Untungnya, pada percobaan keempat sudah terlihat adanya kemajuan,” Mbah Trisno mengakui. Walau begitu, Mbah Trisno tetap semangat dalam menjalani prosesnya. “Dari hasil kegiatan ini, ketika saya sudah tidak ada, setidaknya ada sisa-sisa hasil pekerjaan saya yang dapat dikenang oleh masyarakat,” Mbah Trisno menambahkan.

\
Dengan sorot mata yang optimis, Mbah Trisno mengutarakan ingin dapat melihat dan menikmati hasil dari kegiatan restorasi ekosistem ini. “Buah kesukaan saya itu petai dan durian, bisa dipetik dan dinikmati secara langsung dan gratis, kan kalau beli harganya lumayan,” ungkap Mbah Trisno sambil tertawa. Desa juga akan menjadi lebih lestari setelahnya, Mbah Trisno membayangkan adanya berbagai pepohonan rimbun, masyarakat desa bertani dan ada bermacam-macam tanaman palawija.

\
“Semoga kegiatan restorasi ini dapat bermanfaat untuk masyarakat desa dan meningkatkan taraf hidup menjadi lebih layak karena masyarakat bisa bertani secara tumpang sari setelah kegiatan restorasi ini.” ucap Mbah Trisno penuh harapan.

Indonesia is a priority country for Switzerland’s State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO) economic cooperation and development. In Indonesia, SECO – among other things – fosters sustainable value chains with a special focus on export commodities, including palm oil. In this context, SECO is funding a program that applies a Sustainable Landscape Approach (SLA), which is called the Sustainable Landscape Program Indonesia (SLPI). Applying a landscape approach allows interconnected and multifaceted development challenges, such as poverty and sustainable management of natural resources and forests, to be addressed systematically.

\
 As part of this program, SECO is providing support for the Mosaik Initiative in Kalimantan, led by Kaleka. The project is designed to apply a jurisdictional approach to sustainable commodity production within districts, and coordinated among adjacent districts, to protect and restore ecosystems at the landscape level for enhanced environmental and social outcomes. It aims to accelerate the process of jurisdictional certification in Kotawaringin Barat and Seruyan districts and initiate the process in Sukamara and Ketapang districts. In Kotawaringin Barat and Seruyan, where much progress has been achieved, the project will enable the districts to progress to the next stage of RSPO Jurisdictional Approach for certification requirements.

\
The project will further refine the jurisdictional certification approach that has been applied in the palm oil sector to cover other commodities. There is the potential to expand the approach to other commodities within the districts, especially timber (natural and planted), coconut and rubber. The whole approach, in turn, could be replicated to adjacent districts (Sukamara, Central Kalimantan and Ketapang, West Kalimantan). Complementing these farm-oriented approaches, forests and other ecosystems, which are outside of concessions but within jurisdictional (district) boundaries, will be protected and restored through complementary jurisdictional and community-based approaches.

 \n 

Indonesia adalah negara prioritas dalam kerja sama serta pembangunan ekonomi oleh

Sekretariat Negara Swiss untuk Urusan Ekonomi (SECO). Di Indonesia, SECO – antara lain – mendorong rantai nilai berkelanjutan dengan fokus khusus pada komoditas ekspor, termasuk minyak sawit. Dalam konteks ini, SECO mendanai program yang menerapkan Sustainable Landscape Approach (SLA), yang disebut Sustainable Landscape Program Indonesia (SLPI). Menerapkan pendekatan lanskap memungkinkan tantangan pembangunan yang saling terkait dan beragam, seperti kemiskinan dan pengelolaan sumber daya alam dan hutan yang berkelanjutan, untuk ditangani secara sistematis.

\
Sebagai bagian dari program ini, SECO memberikan dukungan untuk Mosaik Initiative di Kalimantan yang dipimpin oleh Kaleka. Proyek ini dirancang untuk menerapkan pendekatan yurisdiksi terhadap produksi komoditas berkelanjutan di dalam kabupaten, dan dikoordinasikan di antara kabupaten yang berdekatan, untuk melindungi dan memulihkan ekosistem di tingkat lanskap dalam meningkatkan hasil lingkungan dan sosial. Hal ini bertujuan untuk mempercepat proses sertifikasi yurisdiksi di Kabupaten Kotawaringin Barat dan Seruyan serta menginisiasi proses di Kabupaten Sukamara dan Ketapang. Di Kotawaringin Barat dan Seruyan, di mana banyak kemajuan telah dicapai, proyek ini akan memungkinkan kabupaten tersebut untuk maju ke tahap selanjutnya dari Pendekatan Yurisdiksi RSPO untuk persyaratan sertifikasi.

\
Proyek ini akan lebih menyempurnakan pendekatan sertifikasi yurisdiksi yang telah diterapkan di sektor kelapa sawit untuk mencakup komoditas lainnya. Terdapat potensi untuk memperluas pendekatan ke komoditas lain di dalam kabupaten, khususnya kayu (alam dan tanaman), kelapa dan karet. Seluruh pendekatan, pada gilirannya, dapat direplikasi ke kabupaten yang berdekatan (Sukamara, Kalimantan Tengah dan Ketapang, Kalimantan Barat). Melengkapi pendekatan berorientasi pertanian ini, hutan dan ekosistem lainnya, yang berada di luar konsesi tetapi dalam batas yurisdiksi (kabupaten), akan dilindungi dan dipulihkan melalui pendekatan yurisdiksi pelengkap dan berbasis masyarakat.

The Action for Sustainable Derivatives (ASD) is a collaborative initiative co-managed by BSR (Business for Social Responsibility) and Transitions, which brings together companies in the cosmetics, home and personal care, and oleochemicals industries to collectively tackle supply chain issues around palm oil and palm kernel oil derivatives. More recently, ASD has begun addressing the sustainability of coconut and soy derivative supply chains. As derivative supply chains are too complex for one company to solve alone, ASD aims to unite as a sector to address the sustainability of derivative supply chains and to leverage influence over major upstream supply chain players. Currently, ASD has 28 member companies, including multinational manufacturers and cosmetic companies.

 \n ASD has four work streams for improving the sustainability of derivative supply chains: transparency and risk assessment; monitoring and grievance management; supply and market transformation; and positive impact. Since 2021, ASD has been supporting the Mosaik Initiative as one of their positive impact landscapes through their joint fund, managed by Tides, and have committed to providing 5 years of support to the initiative (until 2027). The landscape in Kalimantan was selected as it is a major sourcing region for their member companies.  The focus of ASD’s support has been in the districts of Seruyan and Kotawaringin Barat, in the areas of community forestry, agroforestry, restoration, regenerative agriculture and smallholder certification.

The Action for Sustainable Derivatives (ASD) adalah inisiatif kolaboratif yang dikelola bersama oleh BSR (Business for Social Responsibility) dan Transitions, yang menyatukan perusahaan-perusahaan di industri kosmetik, perawatan rumah dan pribadi, dan oleokimia untuk bersama-sama mengatasi masalah rantai pasokan seputar kelapa sawit dan turunan minyak inti sawit. Baru-baru ini, ASD telah mulai menangani keberlanjutan rantai pasokan turunan kelapa dan kedelai. Karena rantai pasokan turunan terlalu rumit untuk diselesaikan sendiri oleh satu perusahaan, ASD bertujuan untuk bersatu sebagai sebuah sektor untuk mengatasi keberlanjutan rantai pasokan turunan dan untuk meningkatkan pengaruh terhadap pemain rantai pasokan hulu utama. Saat ini, ASD memiliki 28 perusahaan anggota, termasuk produsen multinasional dan perusahaan kosmetik.

\
ASD memiliki empat alur kerja untuk meningkatkan keberlanjutan rantai pasokan derivatif: transparansi dan penilaian risiko; pemantauan dan pengelolaan pengaduan; pasokan dan transformasi pasar; dan dampak positif. Sejak 2021, ASD telah mendukung Inisiatif Mosaik sebagai salah satu lanskap berdampak positif melalui dana bersama mereka, yang dikelola oleh Tides, dan telah berkomitmen untuk memberikan dukungan selama 5 tahun untuk inisiatif tersebut (hingga 2027). Lanskap di Kalimantan dipilih karena merupakan wilayah sumber utama bagi perusahaan anggota mereka. Fokus dukungan ASD berada di Kabupaten Seruyan dan Kotawaringin Barat, di bidang hutan kemasyarakatan, agroforestri, restorasi, pertanian regeneratif dan sertifikasi petani kecil.

**THINK CLIMATE INDONESIA**

\
As part of the Think Climate Indonesia, a three-year partnership supported by the International Development Research Centre (IDRC) and the Oak Foundation, Kaleka as the Secretariat of Kolibri Alliance provides support for the members to build organizational effectiveness and research capacity, to research and develop a database on climate adaptation, and to improve the public communication to disseminate the results. The six provinces are West Papua, Southeast Sulawesi, East Nusa Tenggara, West Sumatera, Central Kalimantan and Jambi.  

\
With Think Climate Indonesia, Kaleka seeks to strengthen the individual capacity of local organizations to help them take effective climate actions and support farmers and fishers to adopt resilient rural livelihoods. This approach is different because it addresses a major issue in today’s climate movement by making the people in the grips of the climate crisis as the active and central driver of solutions. There are four key activities to achieve this goal:

\

1. Improve efficiency of local organizations:
   * Providing financial and administrative training as well as developing online administration and management systems as an attempt to equip local organizations with skills and techniques to manage larger projects

     \
2. Improve applied research
   * Providing a research training program on climate mitigation and adaptation as an attempt to build resilient and profitable rural livelihood models

     \
3. Improve communications and policy outreach
   * Disseminating and communicating the research findings of climate change as an attempt to achieve optimal impacts in public outreach

     \
4. Develop the capacity of local organizations for future independent research
   * Assisting local organizations in data collection, creating a data platform, and establishing rules on data sharing and data usage as an attempt to give access to knowledge and experience of other farmers across different geographies

     \

Think Climate Indonesia aims to enable local think tanks in Indonesia to engage more effectively in climate actions. This partnership provides the core funding for the organizational and research activities of five local think tanks, selected through an open, competitive call, whose missions and mandates focus on using research to inform and influence development policy and practice, namely Kaleka, WRI–Indonesia, PATTIRO, Yayasan Kota Kita, and Kemitraan. 

\
The initiative believes that think tanks straddling the boundaries between research, policymaking, and citizen engagement have the ability to respond to the complex challenges of climate change through informing evidence-based policy with local knowledge and expertise in timely, relevant, and accessible ways. Working in partnership with the Oak Foundation, a family-led foundation that commits its resources to address issues of global, social, and environmental concern, particularly those that have a major impact on the lives of the disadvantaged, IDRC’s Think Climate Indonesia initiative supports Indonesia’s efforts to meet its climate commitments by helping local think tanks to produce policy-relevant research and influence large-scale change. 

\
Think Climate Indonesia also contributes to IDRC’s broader mission to expand targeted programming and research support to think tanks addressing regional development challenges. The contribution is consistent with IDRC’s focus to invest in high-quality research in developing countries, share knowledge with researchers and policymakers for greater uptake and use, and mobilize its global alliances to build a more sustainable and inclusive world. \n 

The experiences and insights gathered from the Think Climate Indonesia initiative will be relevant to respond to the shifts in regional development needs and challenges forced by climate pressure across the Global South and will inform thinking on the best practices for creating positive change amid the indistinction of the separation between climate adaptation and climate mitigation and the increase of interest in supporting climate resilience and low-carbon development pathways.

**Think Climate Indonesia**

\
Sebagai bagian dari Think Climate Indonesia, kemitraan tiga tahun yang didukung oleh the International Development Research Centre (IDRC) dan Oak Foundation, Aliansi ini memberikan dukungan bagi anggotanya untuk membangun efektivitas organisasional serta kapasitas riset, melakukan riset dan membangun database adaptasi iklim, dan meningkatkan komunikasi publik untuk mendiseminasikan hasilnya. Enam provinsi tersebut adalah Papua Barat, Sulawesi Tenggara, Nusa Tenggara Timur, Sumatra Barat, Kalimantan Tengah dan Jambi.  

\
With Think Climate Indonesia, Kaleka seeks to strengthen the individual capacity of local organizations to help them take effective climate actions and support farmers and fishers to adopt resilient rural livelihoods. This approach is different because it addresses a major issue in today’s climate movement by making the people in the grips of the climate crisis as the active and central driver of solutions. There are four key activities to achieve this goal:

\

1. **Meningkatkan efisiensi organisasi lokal**:
   * Mengadakan pelatihan finansial dan administrasi serta membangun sistem administrasi dan manajemen online sebagai upaya untuk membekali organisasi lokal dengan keahlian dan teknik untuk mengelola proyek yang lebih besar.

     \
2. **Meningkatkan riset terapan**
   * Menyediakan program pelatihan riset mengenai mitigasi dan adaptasi iklim sebagai usaha untuk membangun model mata pencaharian desa yang tangguh dan menguntungkan.

     \
3. **Meningkatkan jangkauan komunikasi dan kebijakan**
   * Mendiseminasikan dan mengkomunikasikan temuan riset perubahan iklim sebagai usaha untuk mencapai dampak yang optimal dalam penjangkauan publik.

     \
4. **Membangun kapasitas organisasi lokal bagi riset independen di masa mendatang**
   * Membantu organisasi lokal dalam pengumpulan data, pembuatan platform data, dan pembuatan kebijakan pembagian data dan penggunaan data sebagai usaha untuk memberikan akses pengetahuaan dan pengalaman petani lain lintas lokasi geografis yang berbeda.

     \

Think Climate Indonesia aims to enable local think tanks in Indonesia to engage more effectively in climate actions. This partnership provides the core funding for the organizational and research activities of five local think tanks, selected through an open, competitive call, whose missions and mandates focus on using research to inform and influence development policy and practice, namely Kaleka, WRI–Indonesia, PATTIRO, Yayasan Kota Kita, and Kemitraan. 

\
Inisiatif ini percaya bahwa wadah pemikir yang berdiri di antara riset, pembentukan kebijakan, dan pelibatan masyarakat memiliki kemampuan untuk merespon tantangan kompleks perubahan iklim dengan cara menginformasikan kebijakan berbasis bukti dengan pengetahuan dan keahlian lokal secara tepat waktu, relevan dan dapat diakses. Bekerja dengan Oak Foundation, sebuah yayasan yang dipimpin keluarga yang mendedikasikan sumber dayanya untuk mengatasi permasalahan global, sosial dan persoalan lingkungan, terutama bagi isu yang berdampak besar pada kehidupan orang-orang yang kurang beruntung, inisiatif Think Climate Indonesia mendukung upaya Indonesia untuk mencapai komitmen iklimnya dengan membantu wadah pemikir lokal memproduksi riset yang relevan dengan kebijakan dan memberi dampak berskala besar. 

\
Think Climate Indonesia juga berkontribusi terhadap misi besar IDRC untuk memperluas program tertarget dan dukungan riset bagi wadah pemikir untuk mengatasi tantangan pembangunan regional. Kontribusi tersebut konsisten dengan fokus IDRC untuk berinvestasi pada riset berkualitas tinggi di negara berkembang, membagikan pengetahuan kepada para periset dan pembuat kebijakan bagi penyerapan dan penggunaan yang lebih besar, dan memobilisasi aliansi globalnya untuk membangun dunia yang lebih inklusif dan berkelanjutan.

\
Pengalaman dan wawasan yang dikumpulkan dari inisiatif Think Climate Indonesia akan relevan untuk merespon kebutuhan dan tantangan pembangunan regional yang bergeser karena tekanan iklim di seluruh Global South dan akan menginformasikan pemikiran mengenai praktik terbaik bagi pembuatan perubahan positif di tengah buramnya pembagian antara adaptasi iklim dan mitigasi iklim dan meningkatnya dukungan resiliensi iklim dan jalur pembangunan rendah karbon.

International Development Research Centre (IDRC)

Unilever has initiated a partnership with Kaleka to support Seruyan and Kotawaringin Barat to achieve sustainability commodity production in both districts. Through a jurisdictional approach, commodities should be produced in a way that protects forests and other ecosystems, reduces poverty and upholds human rights.

\
The jurisdictional approach to the certification of palm oil in practice refers to the application of the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) Principles and Criteria at the level of the jurisdiction. Ideally, it should simplify and reduce the costs of certification thus expanding RSPO coverage while improving social and environmental outcomes. These benefits include improved habitat for wildlife, including ecological corridors and social benefits such as greater institutional support for smallholders and protection of human rights. All actors in the palm oil supply chain, from independent smallholders, medium to industrial scale plantations, mills, traders and transporters should be covered.

\
Seruyan and Kotawaringin Barat are two of the largest palm oil producing districts in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia. They supply palm oil to markets throughout the world, including major consumer goods companies. Overall, 27 mills across these two districts have been identified as being directly or indirectly part of Unilever’s supply chain.

\
\
**Project Objectives**

\
The Unilever Partnership aims to protect and restore habitat and ecological corridors vital for wildlife such as orangutan, proboscis monkeys, gibbons and sun-bears while improving the welfare of farmers and indigenous peoples by increasing their income and livelihoods as well as providing access to bigger markets through the RSPO certification. These landscapes are also the places where globally important commodities, such as oil palm, rubber and copra are produced. The Seruyan-Kumai Landscape incorporates the two districts of Seruyan and Kotawaringin Barat, in Central Kalimantan.

**Project's Key Facts**


Timeframe: 2019 - 2022
Landscape: Seruyan-Bedaun in Seruyan and Kotawaringin Barat Districts, Central Kalimantan, Indonesia.
Partner: Unilever

\
\
**Our Approach**

\
Jurisdictional certification focuses on engaging with the democratically elected local government authority to achieve sustainable development. The overall approach of the strategy proposed is to work within a jurisdiction—a formal political geography, such as districts or provinces. It moves away from project-based interventions or a “mill- to-mill” approach to a larger administrative area.

\*Targeted project achievement

 \n The __[MoU](https://www.unilever.com/news/news-and-features/Feature-article/2017/We-are-driving-a-new-approach-to-sustainable-palm-oil.html)__ was the first public-private partnership of its kind. Partners include: Kaleka, Unilever, the Central Kalimantan Provincial Government, and the Kotawaringin Barat District Government

KUD Tani Subur is a village cooperative in Pangkalan Tiga Village, which has grown into a multi-billion rupiah cooperative with diversified assets including a two-billion rupiah credit and loan facility: cattle, fish and poultry breeding facilities; a two-story supermarket and a popular sprawling agrotourism center set up in the middle of an oil palm plantation. Read the success story of the KUD __[here](https://www.unilever.com/news/news-and-features/Feature-article/2018/meet-three-experts-involved-in-a-milestone-palm-oil-project.html)__.

\
\
**Achievements**

**(2016-2019)**

The initial project results included oil palm smallholders mapped and formally registered, trained and audited; smallholder plots incorporated into SIPKEBUN (the Central Kalimantan’s government plantation monitoring system); sustainable palm oil action plans incorporated into village development plans; and capacity smallholder organisations strengthened.

The results have been impressive, with all KPIs met or exceeded, and more than 1,000 independent smallholders certified by the end of 2019. Unilever has now purchased RSPO independent smallholder credits from these independent smallholder farmers through RSPO’s PalmTrace platform, which increases the diversification and business ventures of the cooperatives, directly improves the livelihoods of the smallholder, and increases the incentives for them to conduct sustainable practices.

 \n 

**Lesson Learned**

\
The most valuable lesson learned through the collaboration so far is that significant time and investment are required to support smallholders to achieve sustainability certification standards and to offset the costs of audits. The support from local governments such as land mapping, registration and obtaining all the relevant legal documents, are critical to addressing the systemic challenges that independent smallholders face when trying to achieve certification.

The success of phase one of the program between Unilever and Kaleka has the potential to catalyze other producer and buyer companies, as well as existing and potential public and private foundations, to contribute to improve the sustainability and inclusivity of commodity production in the districts and landscape as a whole.

\
Unilever’s commitment to prioritize commodity sourcing from areas that are pursuing comprehensive forest climate programs, including from jurisdictions committed to sustainability, will provide support and engagement to local governments and producers to continue their progress towards sustainability.

Unilever telah memulai kemitraan dengan Kaleka untuk mendukung Kabupaten Seruyan dan Kotawaringin Barat untuk mencapai produksi komoditas berkelanjutan di kedua kabupaten tersebut. Melalui pendekatan yurisdiksi, komoditas harus diproduksi dengan cara yang melindungi hutan dan ekosistem lainnya, mengurangi kemiskinan dan menegakkan Hak Asasi Manusia (HAM).

\
Pendekatan yurisdiksi untuk sertifikasi minyak sawit, dalam praktiknya, mengacu pada penerapan prinsip dan kriteria Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) di tingkat yurisdiksi. Idealnya, hal ini seharusnya dapat menyederhanakan dan mengurangi biaya sertifikasi sehingga memperluas cakupan RSPO sekaligus memperbaiki manfaat sosial dan lingkungan. Termasuk dalam manfaat ini adalah perbaikan habitat bagi satwa liar, termasuk koridor ekologi dan manfaat sosial seperti dukungan kelembagaan yang lebih besar bagi petani kecil dan perlindungan hak asasi manusia. Semua pelaku dalam rantai pasokan kelapa sawit, dari petani swadaya, perkebunan skala menengah hingga industri, pabrik, pedagang dan pengangkut harus tercakup.

\
Seruyan dan Kotawaringin Barat adalah dua kabupaten penghasil kelapa sawit terbesar di Kalimantan Tengah, Indonesia. Mereka memasok minyak sawit ke pasar di seluruh dunia, termasuk perusahaan barang konsumen besar. Secara keseluruhan, 27 pabrik di dua kabupaten ini telah diidentifikasi sebagai bagian langsung atau tidak langsung dari rantai pasokan Unilever.

\
\
**Tujuan Proyek**

\
Kemitraan Unilever ini bertujuan untuk melindungi dan memulihkan habitat dan koridor ekologi yang penting bagi satwa liar seperti orang utan, bekantan, owa dan beruang madu, sekaligus menyejahterakan petani dan masyarakat adat dengan meningkatkan pendapatan dan mata pencaharian mereka serta menyediakan akses ke pasar yang lebih besar melalui sertifikasi RSPO. Bentang alam ini juga merupakan tempat produksi komoditas global, seperti kelapa sawit, karet, dan kopra. Bentang alam Seruyan-Kumai menggabungkan dua kabupaten dari Seruyan dan Kotawaringin Barat, di Kalimantan Tengah.

\
\
**Empat Alur Kerja**

\

1. **Platform Yurisdiksi Berkelanjutan**

   Sebuah entitas multipihak resmi yang mengelola proses sertifikasi yurisdiksi yang didukung oleh peraturan pemerintah dan infrastruktur tata kelola lainnya (termasuk rencana tata ruang)

**Fakta Proyek**

Timeframe: 2019 - 2022

Lanskap: Seruyan-Bedaun di Wilayah Seruyan dan Kotawaringin Barat, Kalimantan Tengah, Indonesia.

Mitra: Unilever

\
\
**Pendekatan Kami**

Sertifikasi yurisdiksi berfokus pada keterlibatan otoritas pemerintah daerah yang dipilih secara demokratis untuk mencapai pembangunan berkelanjutan. Pendekatan keseluruhan dari strategi yang diusulkan adalah untuk bekerja di dalam yurisdiksi — geografi politik formal, seperti kabupaten atau provinsi. Ini beralih dari intervensi berbasis proyek atau pendekatan "pabrik ke pabrik" ke wilayah administratif yang lebih besar.

\*Pencapaian proyek yang ditargetkan

\
The __[Mou](https://www.unilever.com/news/news-and-features/Feature-article/2017/We-are-driving-a-new-approach-to-sustainable-palm-oil.html)__ was the first public-private partnership of its kind. Partners include: Kaleka, Unilever, the Central Kalimantan Provincial Government, and the Kotawaringin Barat District Government.

\
KUD Tani Subur adalah koperasi desa di Desa Pangkalan Tiga, yang telah berkembang menjadi koperasi beraset multi-miliar rupiah dengan aset yang beragam termasuk fasilitas kredit dan pinjaman senilai dua miliar rupiah: fasilitas pembibitan sapi, ikan dan unggas; supermarket dua lantai dan pusat agrowisata populer yang didirikan di tengahtengah perkebunan kelapa sawit. Baca kisah sukses KUD __[di sini](https://www.unilever.com/news/news-and-features/Feature-article/2018/meet-three-experts-involved-in-a-milestone-palm-oil-project.html)__.

\
\
**Pencapaian \n (2016-2019)**

Hasil awal proyek termasuk petani sawit yang dipetakan dan didaftarkan secara resmi, dilatih dan diaudit; plot petani dimasukkan ke dalam SIPKEBUN (sistem pemantauan perkebunan pemerintah Kalimantan Tengah); rencana aksi kelapa sawit berkelanjutan dimasukkan ke dalam rencana pembangunan desa; dan kapasitas organisasi petani diperkuat.

\
Hasilnya sangat mengesankan, dengan semua KPI terpenuhi atau terlampaui, dan lebih dari 1.000 petani swadaya tersertifikasi hingga akhir 2019. Unilever kini telah membeli kredit petani swadaya RSPO dari petani swadaya melalui platform PalmTrace RSPO, yang meningkatkan diversifikasi dan bisnis usaha koperasi, secara langsung meningkatkan mata pencaharian petani kecil, dan meningkatkan insentif bagi mereka untuk melakukan praktik berkelanjutan.

\
\
**Pembelajaran**

Pembelajaran paling berharga melalui kolaborasi sejauh ini adalah dibutuhkan waktu dan investasi yang signifikan untuk mendukung petani kecil mencapai standar sertifikasi keberlanjutan dan untuk mengimbangi biaya audit. Dukungan dari pemerintah daerah seperti pemetaan tanah, pendaftaran dan memperoleh semua dokumen hukum yang relevan, sangat penting untuk mengatasi tantangan sistemik yang dihadapi petani swadaya ketika mencoba mencapai sertifikasi.

\
The success of phase one of the program between Unilever and Kaleka has the potential to catalyze other producer and buyer companies, as well as existing and potential public and private foundations, to contribute to improve the sustainability and inclusivity of commodity production in the districts and landscape as a whole.

\
Komitmen Unilever untuk memprioritaskan sumber komoditas dari daerah yang menjalankan program iklim hutan yang komprehensif, termasuk dari yurisdiksi yang berkomitmen pada keberlanjutan, akan memberikan dukungan dan keterlibatan kepada pemerintah daerah dan produsen untuk melanjutkan kemajuan mereka menuju keberlanjutan.
