Stakeholders Engagement and Partnerships Consultant (12 months contract) – Partnerships for Forests

The Programme

Partnerships for Forests is an incubator, funded by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office, which aims to support the emergence of a new investment model in which the public sector, private sector companies, and wider communities can achieve better returns from sustainable forestry and land use than they are able to from deforestation and land degradation.

The program’s main objective is to support a set of public-private-partnerships (PPPs) and initiatives that demonstrate how the private sector can contribute to a reduction in rates of deforestation and a range of related enabling activities to address the policy environment. Outcomes will include improved and more sustainable prevention of deforestation, reforestation of degraded land, and leverage of private finance.

As part of its Enabling Conditions project in Southeast Asia, P4F partners with local NGOs like KKI Warsi to establish landscape-level Protection Forums. The Forum aims to promote collaboration amongst land managers for effective environmental and social protection, in alignment with the IFC Performance Standards. P4F works with the local partners to create innovative partnerships and transforms a competitive business environment into collaborative and complimentary. The current landscape focus is Bukit Tigapuluh in Jambi, South Sumatra, and exploring expansion to additional landscapes.

Palladium and SYSTEMIQ are the key partners managing the technical assistance and grant-making facility for the programme. For more information, please visit www.partnershipsforforests.com
