Since 2017, #Indonesia's Ecological Fiscal Transfer (EFT) model has been revolutionizing #environmental protection by channeling resources from provincial to village levels, ensuring all government tiers actively participate in preserving the nation's natural resources. To enhance civil society's role in this initiative, we worked with the Ford Foundation to support a crucial three-day conference. Hosted by the Civil Society Coalition for Environmental Protection Funding, the event focused on strengthening civil society in green funding policy reform and aimed to refine strategies and promote sustainable funding practices.
