The International Finance Corporation (IFC) is the private sector arm of the World Bank Group. IFC promotes sustainable private sector investment in developing countries as a way to reduce poverty and improve people's lives. IFC offers investment products and advisory services to private sector and government clients.



Sustainable Forestry Program is one of IFC Advisory Services programs in Indonesia which is developed with main purposes to strategically address climate change issues and to foster the adoption of appropriate sustainable forest management standards.

To promote best practices in forest management, encourage more collaboration as well as increase transparency in forestry sector in Indonesia, an updated database of forestry stakeholders is essential.

The mapping is aimed to develop an updated database of stakeholders in forestry sector in Indonesia. This database will serve as initial information for IFC Indonesia to decide on potential partners and serve as main document in designing and developing the Sustainable Forestry Program. The study will provide recommendations whether it is viable to develop an updated and easy to access forestry database as a subsequent activity. The database will support interested parties from international development institutions and financial institutions to work more effectively in sustainable forestry development including private sectors seeking to set up new forestry business.

Relevant to that, IFC is now seeking a Consulting Firm who will undertake mapping exercise of the existing natural forest concessions, timber plantations and large wood product industries, to collect updated data and information of those forest industries and concession holders and to present the database for internal use of the Sustainable Forestry program.

The Consulting Firm will also conduct needs assessment for an updated and transparent forestry database from various potential users including the private sector and financial institutions. The recommendation will then serve as the main document to decide on subsequent activity including development of a transparent, updated and user-friendly database.

I. Methodology

Information collection on owners and financial sources of forest concession holders and forest industries including location, license type, forest certification status and main shareholders.
Two presentations to the SF program at IFC office in Jakarta that include initial presentation of the report and final presentation once the report is reviewed and edited.
A comprehensive database on forestry stakeholders in Indonesia is the main output expected from this exercise.
Phase II – Needs Assessment for Forestry Database
The following tasks will be performed:
Needs assessment of a transparent and accessible forestry database based on a survey of diverse respondents (potential users), including financial institutions. The consultant would also identify potential usage of the database to support climate change initiatives, improved forest management efforts and forest certification efforts.
Identification and a desk study of existing forestry databases from various sources. Meetings with various forestry database providers will be held to understand most common challenges and barriers faced by database developers in providing transparent, updated and user-friendly information. The consultant would also draw from and review successful/failed forestry databases done by other organizations and/or in other countries.
A presentation to the SF program at IFC office in Jakarta to discuss the result of the need assessment.
Final needs assessment report is the main output expected from this activity.
