In order to obtain input from a broader policy maker partnership in collaboration with USAID wisely formulating a fiscal transfer system through special allocation funds, regional incentive funds, and village funds by adding ecological criteria from the provincial level in Indonesia based on previous studies, namely the study of the alternative of funding for the management of conservation areas and the property, (Non-Tax Revenue, Forestry Sector Product Sharing Funds), Fiscal Transfer (Special Allocation Fund/DAK, Village Fund, and, DBH-DR, Regional Incentive Fund/DID), Green Bond, Green Sukuk, and Off-Treasury Fund (through BLU). Existing fiscal transfer mechanisms such as DAK, Village Funds, and DID are the most possible mechanisms. However, fiscal transfers through the DAK mechanism, village funds, and DID must be such as empowered for funding for the management of forest areas and conservation areas, namely by adding ecological criteria to each of the schemes. Fiscal transfer by adding ecological criteria is known as Ecological Fiscal Transfer (EFT) which allows the provision of funds for local governments that have large forests to conduct biodiversity conservation, forest management, and improve the welfare of the community around the forest area.
Delivered by ecological-based physical transfer in Indonesia is very important because it can strengthen the capacity of local governments in the preservation of ecological functions in an effort to realize sustainable development and support government strategic programs, namely low carbon development, the impact of climate change and sustainable development. Then the facts on the ground say that precisely areas rich in ecological functions, have high poverty rates, especially in areas that are on the outskirts of the forest cover. This is what needs to be followed up. (Bapp/Hum/Fat)
