Organizational Setting

Monitoring and Enhancement of Remote Sensing for National Forest Inventory (MERANTI) is a three-year project funded by Norway and managed by the FAO Office in Jakarta. It serves as Indonesia’s new National Forest Inventory (NFI) initiative, integrating enhanced land-monitoring approaches to improve the accuracy, availability, transparency and timeliness of forest and tree-resource data. Through the combination of a strengthened NFI and an improved national forest monitoring system, MERANTI aims to significantly enhance Indonesia’s capacity to generate high-quality forest information. This strengthened data ecosystem will:

• Improve national strategic planning and decision‑making on forests and trees
• Support climate change mitigation efforts
• Enable greater access to scalable climate finance
• Strengthen Indonesia’s position in climate‑finance negotiations
• Increase opportunities for results‑based payments (RBPs) and other forms of results‑based contributions (RBC)
• Ensure fulfilment of Indonesia’s international commitments to global climate and sustainable development goals.

The collaboration will also expand to other projects and programmes related to forest monitoring, including the UK-funded AIM4Forests initiative and affiliated programmes within the FAO portfolio and pipeline, as appropriate.
