The
Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH is the
German implementing organization which provides services worldwide in the field
of international cooperation for sustainable development.
The programme SUPA (‘Sustainable Use of Peatland and Haze
Mitigation in ASEAN) is co-financed by the EU and the German Federal Ministry
for the Environment, Nature Conservation, and Nuclear Safety (BMU). The
initiative supports the implementation of the ASEAN Programme on ‘Sustainable
Management of Peatland Ecosystems’ (APSMPE) under the overall shared
objective ‘to promote the sustainable management of peatlands in the ASEAN
region through collective actions and to enhance the cooperation to support and
sustain local livelihoods, reduce the risk of fire and associated haze and
contribute to global environmental management.’ The programme SUPA has two
components.
Component
1 focuses on ‘peatland governance’ and is to be implemented by GIZ. Based on the intervention logic, the
implementation of this component
is structured into three work areas:
- Work Area 1: Strengthening regional cooperation by strengthening ASEAN

- Work Area 3: Generating Pilot Experiences from Indonesia and Malaysia
