To report on the progress of eLearning development at the Environment and Forestry HR Training Center, which is being supported by GIZ, FORCLIME was granted an audience with the Head of the Human Resources Extension and Development Agency (BP2SDM) at the Ministry of Environment and Forestry, Drs. Ade Palguna Ruteka, at the Manggala Wanabakti Building, Jakarta on 5 July 2024. In attendance at the meeting were the Head of the Environmental Training Center, the Head of the Extension Center, the Head of the Environmental and Forestry Generation Training Center, the Secretary of BP2SDM, officials from the HR Planning and Development Center and the FORCLIME Team led by Mr. Florian Moder, the new FORCLIME Program Director, who has replaced Mr. Georg Buchholz.
During the meeting, FORCLIME reported that its collaboration with the Environment and Forestry HR Training Center (LHK HR Diklat Center) regarding the development of eLearning has been ongoing since 2013. In this regard, various capacity development efforts relating to the policy, organizational and individual levels at the Ministry HR Training Center and the Environment and Forestry (EF) Training Center (structural officials, graduate students and administrative staff) have been implemented during the course of the past decade. Indeed, even during the COVID-19 pandemic, the EF HR Training Center and the EF Training Center were still able to provide training services to apparatus and non-apparatus staff through the implementation of eLearning.
FORCLIME further reported that in 2023, the EF HR Training Center requested support for the development of a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC). This was subsequently followed up by FORCLIME, which put together a study that addressed the readiness of the EF HR Training Center to organize a MOOC in March 2024. The results of this study were able to provide a number of inputs that specifically addressed certain policy, managerial and technical aspects that required intervention from the management of the LHK HR Training Center and BP2SDM. The latest developments regarding MOOC development were the holding of a number of workshops to prepare a MOOC Development Roadmap and Training of Trainers sessions that addressed the implementation of MOOCs, both of which were held in July 2024.
At the hearing, several BP2SDM working units expressed the expectation and hope that FORCLIME would ultimately support several activities, including:
1. Support for eLearning development under the Adiwiyata Green School programme, as requested by the Environmental and Forestry Generation Training Center.
2. Support for the development of eLearning to increase the capacities of Environmental and Forestry Extension Officers from the Extension Center.
3. The HR Planning and Development Center (Pusrenbang) has carried out a training needs assessment (TNA), the report on which can be used to develop MOOC modules.
4. Support for reviews of regulations and policies that specifically relate to eLearning and their adaptation to current regulations, as provided by the Legal Section of the BP2SDM Secretariat.

The Social Forestry Business Group (KUPS) was formed in an effort to encourage local communities to become actively involved in forest management. Through KUPS, village communities, particularly villagers who are members of groups, can work together to improve their overall welfare while managing their forest resources sustainably.
To increase the KUPS grade of the Doda Village Forest Management Institute (LPHD) in Sigi Regency, Central Sulawesi, the Kulawi Forest Management Unit (KPH Kulawi), supported by FORCLIME, held a coordination meeting on 8 July 2024 at the KPH Kulawi office. This meeting was held to prepare for an assessment of the categories of two KUPS, namely Sintuwu Singgani and Namomi Singgani, which are currently in the ‘Blue’ category but are predicted to be able to move up to the ‘Silver’ category. Assessments of potential increases in KUPS grades are completed in line with Minister of Environment and Forestry Regulation Number 9 of 2021 on Social Forestry Management and are carried out twice annually in an effort to increase said grades. It is also hoped that such class assessments will later become the basis for identifying needs that can be supported by KPH and other parties while improving the KUPS grade at LPHD Doda.
The meeting, which was attended by KPH Kulawi Social Forestry Extension Officers, as well as by the KPH Kulawi Extension Coordinator, also discussed a dissemination plan that will promote the existence of the Doda Village Forest so that the community can gain an understanding and knowledge of the Doda Village Forest area. In addition, the meeting also discussed the installation of KUPS Sintuwu Singgani and Namomi Singgani signs at the homes of KUPS members who are serving as members of the KUPS Secretariat. These initiatives aim to inform and educate the village community about the LPHD and KUPS in Doda Village. Moreover, the Secretariat can also be used as a collaborative forum by administrators and members in order to generate additional income from the various products that group members make.

The Environment and Forestry Human Resource Education and Training Center, working in conjunction with GIZ and Common Sense, completed work on a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) readiness assessment study in March 2024. Based on the results of this assessment, the following proposals have been made for future activities: 1) Implementation of Training of Trainers (ToT) for MOOC, and 2) Development of a roadmap for the implementation of MOOC with stakeholders.
In line with the second goal, i.e. development of a roadmap for the implementation of MOOC, the Environment and Forestry HR Training Center, supported by FORCLIME and Common Sense, held a hybrid FGD from 3 – 4 July 2024. These discussions were held to solicit opinions from various parties working at the Ministry of Environment and Forestry, including the Environment and Forestry HR Training Center and the Regional Community Forestry Training Center for Asia and the Pacific (RECOFTC), regarding a plan of action for future MOOC development that will specifically address policy, infrastructure, human resources and the development of MOOC modules.
"Results of this FGD is very important and will hopefully contribute to the macro planning of environmental and forestry human resource competency development activities," explained the Head of the Environmental and Forestry HR Training Center, Dr. Kusdamayanti.
The results of the FGD will be documented in a report, which will subsequently be used as an action plan/road map recommendation and integrated into the MOOC SOP that is currently being developed at the Environment and Forestry HR Training Center.
