Summary
This report presents the analysis of a nested, comparative case study of two provinces of Indonesia - Central Kalimantan and West Kalimantan. The study involved 149 interviews with actors from the national, provincial, district, sub-district, and village levels of government, as well as customary local organizations, NGOs, and private firms associated with 10 distinct land-use change cases. These 10 cases included initiatives aimed at conserving forests, promoting sustainable forest management and reducing emissions from deforestation, as well as initiatives associated with deforestation. The analysis aims to answer several sets of questions about REDD+. [...] [The authors] ask who really makes decisions and how those decisions are made, how actors at different levels have contributed to the [REDD+] governance in Indonesia and how it has altered land-use governance, [...] [and] what factors led to greater perceptions of process and outcome legitimacy in land-use initiatives, especially from the perspective of local people.
