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.

Reporting Lines

Technical Focus
