 SAFE  Reducing deforestation and forest degradation through sustainable agricultural value chains and improved forest governance

In Indonesia, SAFE is implemented in cooperation with the Ministry of National Development Planning (BAPPENAS). SAFE works closely with public and private stakeholders in identifying, testing and scaling innovative solutions that strengthen smallholders’ capacities in compliance with international regulations and their inclusion in international value chains.
The project is organising the “SAFE Challenge”. Stakeholders from the palm oil, natural rubber, and cocoa sectors with links to the European market are invited to submit ideas for ensuring an inclusive transition of smallholders’ practices to sustainable, legal and deforestation-free production. SAFE selects the best ideas and, together with the idea submitters, develops relevant and scalable interventions in West Kalimantan and Central Sulawesi. Throughout implementation, best practices and lessons learned are shared and fed into guidelines, regulations and policy frameworks at national, regional, and global levels.

EU Forest Action in INDONESIA 🇮🇩 : FAO EU FLEGT

European Union (EU) and Indonesia as part of the EU Action Plan for Forest Law Enforcement, Governance and Trade (FLEGT). Indonesia became the first country in the world to issue FLEGT licenses for timber products exported to the EU in 2016.

Legal and sustainable timber production and trade in Indonesia rest on the application of the national timber legality assurance system, or System Verifikasi Legalitas Kayu (SVLK), which tracks timber products from the forest throughout the supply chain.
