The Forest Liaison Bureau aims to optimize the effectiveness of the EC-Indonesia Forest Programme. Through adopting a programme approach, the Bureau enhances the transfer of knowledge and techniques from the individual projects to the Government of Indonesia to enable the implementation of new or revised policies and practices.

To support this process, the Bureau liaises between the Programme, Government agencies, EU Member States, other donors and organizations, and supports the EC Representation in Jakarta on forestry issues.

It is also establishing a database of key information on Indonesian forestry and increasing awareness among target groups, with particular reference to EU involvement in the sector.

The Bureau has a budget of EUR 5 million, financed by EU grant, and an office supplied by the Ministry of Forestry and Estate Crops. Activities started in mid - 1997 and will continue to 2004.
