A. Background
SNV is a partner in the Kemitraan Kesejatheraan Hijau (KeHIJAU) Berbak
Partnership - Green Prosperity Project that is funded by the Millennium
Challenge Account-Indonesia. The goal of KeHIJAU Berbak and Muaro Jambi is

and peatland degradation through inclusive low carbon economic growth in the

The private sector component aims to ensure that companies operating in the
landscape understand the sustainability context and apply relevant policies
and practices. This will be achieved by four outputs: (i) Sustainability
assessment of oil palm and HPH concessions on peatland, (ii) Incentivizing
palm oil mills and timber concessions to adopt sustainability standards,

partnership with government and private sector, and (iv) The use of Palm Oil
Mill Effluent (POME) for renewable energy.
