This assessment, commissioned by GIZ-SASCI+, evaluates the maturity of landscape initiatives in Indonesia, with a particular focus on the Lore Lindu Biosphere Reserve (LLBR) in Central Sulawesi. Its purpose is to understand the current stage of development across five landscapes, identify shared strengths and challenges, and provide practical recommendations to guide the advancement of LLBR and other initiatives toward greater impact.
The assessment applied five maturity indicators adapted from ISEAL and Proforest frameworks. These indicators include scale, multistakeholder forum, collective goals and actions, collective monitoring, and funding and strategy. A five-point scoring method was used to rate the maturity of each landscape. Data were collected through document reviews and interviews conducted in August and October 2025 with government agencies, NGOs, private sector representatives, community actors, and landscape implementers working in Aceh Tamiang, Aceh Singkil, Siak, East Kutai, Kapuas Hulu, and Lore Lindu.
