Tender description

The Department for International Development (DFID) is seeking a supplier to implement a new Multi-stakeholder Forestry Programme (phase 4) to support Indonesia in its ambitions on sustainable timber and community forestry. In support of Indonesia’s objectives for strengthening forest governance, MFP4 will directly contribute towards global Forest Governance, Markets, and Climate’s outcome to bring about governance and market reforms that reduce the illegal use of forest resources and benefit poor people, and contribute to FGMC’s impact to improve management of forests for poverty reduction, biodiversity conservation, and climate protection. MFP4 will deliver impact through the following two objectives: A. Growth in sustainable and legal timber production: ensure the effectiveness and sustainability of the national timber legality assurance system “SVLK”, which underpins EU Forest Law Enforcement, Governance, and Trade licencing, to further strengthen confidence amongst international buyers and domestic suppliers; B. Growth in community-based forest businesses: catalyse community forest business development to foster more sustainable use of forests, reduce forest degradation and deforestation, and improve prosperity. 13. Over the lifetime of the Programme it is expected that more than 50 % of the inputs will be channelled towards objective B.
