This document, Sustaining Economic Growth, Rural Livelihoods, and Environmental Benefits: Strategic Options for Forest Assistance in Indonesia, provides an overview and synthesis of issues in Indonesia’s forestry sector and a framework for understanding and identifying potential options for policy and project interventions. It is intended as a reference and guide for analysts and stakeholders of forestry issues in Indonesia. It is particularly directed at donor governments, research organizations, and development assistance agencies that may be planning programs or activities in economic development, poverty reduction, forestry, rural development, land, and governance. A companion document, Sustaining Indonesia’s Forests: Strategy for the World Bank, 2006-2009 provides a framework for the Bank to clarify its objectives, as well as the timing, resource implications, and risks of deepening engagement with the Indonesian Government and stakeholders. The strategy also lays a foundation for mainstreaming forestry issues into the Country Assistance Strategy and broader policy reform interventions. The strategy is a road map for internal discussion and decision-making, but also offers the public some insights on the World Bank’s views.
