Analysis of forest policy of industrial forestry in Indonesia
Worked on the forest policy of industrial forestry and timber legality, with regards to Indonesian policy, economic and institutional development. Produced an analysis of forest policy of industrial forestry in Indonesia and the EU-Indonesia Joint Evaluation of the Indonesian Timber Legality Assurance System.
Context
Indonesia's commitment to net-zero emissions by 2060 requires rapid transformation of its energy system — yet transitions that ignore social equity risk deepening inequality, displacing workers, and excluding communities from decision-making.
This programme worked with three provincial governments to embed social inclusion criteria into energy planning, drawing on participatory research and policy analysis grounded in local realities.
Approach
Dala led mixed-methods research combining household surveys, key informant interviews, and multi-stakeholder workshops across provincial capitals and coal-affected districts.
We developed a social inclusion framework for energy transition planning, tested through pilot provincial action plans and validated with civil society, utilities, and government partners.
