Program Overview
In October 2018, the
two Papua provinces signed the Manokwari Declaration, committing to become
“conservation” provinces and to extend protected area status to a minimum
of 70% of their land (equivalent to an additional 14 Mha), which would bring
under protected status a third of the world’s third largest rainforest. The central government responded immediately by announcing at the 2018
World Bank/IMF Annual Meetings in Bali that both Papua provinces would become
pilots for Indonesia’s first-ever low carbon five-year development plan (deeply
informed in turn by the WRI/NCE-led Low Carbon Development Initiative or LCDI). Then, in May 2019, President Jokowi was re-elected and immediately made
permanent the moratorium on issuing new timber and palm oil licenses in primary
rainforest and peatlands across the country, benefitting all of Indonesia’s intact rainforest provinces.
The purpose of Wahana for Papua Program is to
strengthen capacity in generating and disseminating evidence-based and locally
relevant research findings that will help influence regional and national policy
development for the above-mentioned purpose. We focus the activity in some
priorities area in West Papua and Papua Province in analyzing research which
address forest-related carbon-mitigation and adaptation. This is also relevant
because over than 90% of West Papua’s territory are forest areas and are
crucial for Indonesia to fulfill its NDC commitment. This area is often cited
that it is the last remaining pristine tropical forest in the country.
This proposed program is divided into two main
activities. For the first activity, the fund will try to improve the research
competency of local young researchers. These individuals are selected from
various institutions, such as local authorities, universities and local NGOs
with interest in doing research and able to show proven track record of prior
research activities. The second activity aims to gain insights from the local
context especially in understanding aspects that are important to keep the
forest intact. Over a year on from the signing of
the Manokwari Declaration, Papua has yet to see a dividend that comes close to
matching the scale of their commitment. Hence, insights from this
research is necessary for the local government in formulating policies.
