GIZ Indonesia for the Assistance in Preventing and Combating Corruption (APCC) Project: Advisor on Good Governance in the Forestry Sector

The German Government (represented by the Deutsche Gesellschaft fuer Internationale Zusammenarbeit GIZ GmbH) has been supporting the Indonesian Government (represented by the Corruption Eradication Commission/CEC) in corruption prevention since 2007. The current phase of the cooperation: Assistance in Preventing and Combating Corruption (APCC) is running from 2019-2021 with the main goal to improve the corruption prevention of the Indonesian government in the national and sub national level, incl. in the forestry sector. One of the expected outputs of this cooperation is to improve the capacity of local government in implementing its corruption prevention program. APCC is funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and implemented by GIZ with the CEC as the Project Executing Agency. 

Papua and West Papua provinces have significant big forest area and other natural resources, CEC also has special attention on ensuring good governance in the forest and other natural resources in these provinces. In addition to that, Papua and West Papua Provinces are still having challenges in implementing their corruption prevention program (infrastructure, technology, human resources, etc.).
