Tanjung Jabung Barat – As part of the socialization of the Result-Based Payment (RBP) phase of the BioCarbon Fund – Initiative for Sustainable Forest Landscapes (BioCF-ISFL) Program, the implementation team conducted an official visit to Tanjung Jabung Barat Regency, Jambi Province. The activity took place on December 15, 2025, at the Tanjung Jabung Barat Regional Development Planning Agency (Bappeda) Office.
The visit aimed to convey the latest developments in the BioCF-ISFL Program, specifically regarding the RBP stages, the local government's readiness to prepare RBP proposals in accordance with the Benefit Sharing Plan (BSP) Document, and identify obstacles faced by the region in program implementation.
During the socialization, participants received an explanation of the BioCF-ISFL implementation stages, the status of the Emission Reduction Payment Agreement (ERPA), and emission calculation methods, including an example of calculating emission factors due to forest cover change. Furthermore, Tanjung Jabung Barat Regency was declared to have understood the Measurement, Reporting, and Verification (MAR) process, which includes collecting fire and deforestation data, spatial analysis, and preparing emission reduction reports.
A benefit-sharing mechanism specific to West Tanjung Jabung Regency, namely direct transfers to villages by the Environmental Fund Management Agency (BPDLH), was also presented and well-received by participants. This socialization also explained the beneficiary groups, including companies holding HGU (right-to-use permit) permits and independent farmers allocated as buffers.
In addition to technical aspects and benefit distribution, safeguard program instruments, the Feedback and Grievance Redress Mechanism (FGRM), and a list of prohibited activities (negative list) were comprehensively presented to representatives of regional government agencies (OPD), village governments, and relevant stakeholders.
Overall, the BioCF-ISFL RBP socialization activity in West Tanjung Jabung Regency proceeded well and successfully increased stakeholders' understanding of the MAR flow, benefit-sharing mechanism, and the provisions for direct fund disbursement from BPDLH to villages. Although several villages still require further assistance in preparing proposals and collecting baseline data, this activity is considered to have strengthened West Tanjung Jabung Regency's readiness for the RBP phase and supported program implementation at the district level.
