The project, initiated as a four-month co-design preparation / inception phase, supports Government of Indonesia (GoI) institutions to enable and develop natural capital assets (NCA) investments in sustainable landscapes. The project aims to support design, structure, finance, implementation and scale-up of ecosystem-based landscape investments in NCA through private and public initiatives across Indonesia by incentivizing and mobilizing investments that result in significant contributions to national forest and land use FOLU net sink targets. Investing in NCA business development is aimed at generating additional forest landscape values, reducing emissions, supporting forest-dependent communities, and leveraging finance in support of FOLU Net Sink. The program directly leads to development, investment mobilization, and implementation of a pipeline of projects and programs to restore, protect, secure, enhance and sustainably manage natural capital in Indonesia.

The purpose of the project is to support NCA investment from the development of enabling investment policy and modalities that enable improved business development for enhancing and sustaining NCA values, establishment of cross-cutting monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL) that feeds into GoI’s MRV for carbon-related investments and markets and decision making for corrective actions up to provide access to funds for selected NCA projects on the ground. Overall, the Project goal is to attract sustainable investments that are mobilized and in turn leverage additional finance for resilient scale-up of added-value enabled natural capital assets (ENCA), resulting in the following outcomes, (1) Efficient and iterative investment plan enabling specific NCA investments that is aligned with National Investment Framework; (2) Enabling policy environment for NCA investments; and (3) Direct investments for NCA projects that benefit forest dependent communities, concessions competitiveness and creating new forest revenue flows.
