My time in Indonesia is now over ๐ฎ๐ฉ. After 10 years again leading the FORCLIME programme & working in Kalimantan, Sulawesi & Tanah Papua in the forestry sector, I returned yesterday to Germany . โฆ 1/2
We started our internship program with the university of Cendrawasih UNCEN (and other local universities) 4 years ago. It has very much evolved and is now an integral part of FORCLIME (and now in other GIZ projects as well), which we are very proud of ๐
My time in Indonesia is slowly coming to an end. First touching farewell with my FORCLIME dream team this Monday. Thanks a lot for an amazing time working with you ๐๐ป๐๐๐ป
We were able to get everyone together again at the last FORCLIME quarterly meeting this December. Celebrating an eventful 2023 and looking forward to an exciting 2024 ๐๐ป!

We were also very honoured that Mr. Graf, Deputy Head of Mission of the German embassy inaugurated our new solar panel on top of our FORCLIME office. We hope that this is an inspiration for other government offices in tanah Papua #renewables#solarpower
We learned a lot from BPSKL in Ambon. Thanks a lot to pak Ojom and his great team for the hospitality ๐๐ป! FORCLIME is looking very much forward to the future cooperation in tanah Papua!
In the mean time our capacity building programme in Central Sulawesi continues. Business development for the supported forest community groups. Business and financial management skill development, a core support of our FORCLIME interventions ๐๐ป!
A very special thanks to the national park Teluk Cenderawasih allowing us to use their meeting room in Manokwari for job interviews for new FORCLIME staff ๐๐ป
While in Palu, I had very interesting discussions with the village Doda in regards to the supported village forest (Hutan desa) establishment. FORCLIME facilitated the process jointly with the KPH Kulawi ๐๐ป๐๐ป
Exciting news from Jayapura! We are currently installing solar panels on our FORCLIME office building within the Provincial Forestry Service Papua. Maybe first solar panels on public buildings in Papua?! ๐๐๐ป๐. #Trailblazer#solarenergy#Papua#renewables@giz_gmbh
