Introduction and Background

The national Peatland Restoration Agency (Badan Restorasi Gambut or BRG) was formed early 2016 by the President in response to the massive forest and peat fires of 2015 which affected approximately 850,000 ha of peatland. Sub­component 1.6 of the Berbak Green Prosperity Partnership (BGPP} aims at institutional strengthening of BRG.

MCA  Indonesia  and  BRG  on  6  March  2017  entered  into an  Implementing  Entity Agreement  (IEA)  that  aims to support  BRG with  activities  that  are  designed  to mitigate  risks  associated  with  the  implementation  of  the  peatland  restoration components  in the  Green  Prosperity  Project  currently  in  implementation,  and complete   the   foundational   mapping   and   engineering   work   for   additional peatland  rewetting  both  during  and  after  the  GP  project  is completed.  MCA-I intends   to provide a comprehensive suite of  technical  assistance,  training,  and institutional  support  to  BRG  staff,  and staff  from  other  ministries that  support and/or collaborate with BRG, to help the agency fulfil its mandate.

The Berbak Green Prosperity Partnership (BGPP) is funded by Millennium Challenge Account Indonesia (MCA-I). Various areas requiring training and capacity building support have already been identified by MCA-I  and BRG. One  of  these is cost-benefit analysis and multi-objective decision making.  BGPP has been selected by MCA-I to provide the capacity building / training.
