Abstract

Indonesia was expected to enter the implementing phase of REDD+ in 2015. Some technical and regulatory documents have been prepared within the framework of national REDD+ elemen. However, the development of REDD+ was constrained leading to the delay of the full implementation of REDD+. This study investigates the factors that may support or impede the effectiveness of REDD+ policies. It analyses policy structures and the behaviour of actors within and outside the forestry sector affecting the preparation of REDD+ implementation. The study was conducted in the three provinces of Papua, Central Kalimantan and Riau. The results show that most of the existing policy structures support REDD+ implementation. However, there are some regulations negatively impacting the implementation. Government actors at the central level have fragmented power, need for an actor that can manage coordination among the relevant actors. In addition, REDD+ documents and regulations are considered less legitimate and cannot fully support the implementation of REDD+ in Indonesia. Indonesia is not fully ready to implement national REDD+ since some current policies need to be improved to enhance the effectiveness of REDD+ policies.
