ITTO project in Sarawak

on 5 - 9 November 2015

ITTO project has facilitated two internship programs which have been been

implemented in Sarawak on 5 - 9 November 2015, namely: i) to carry out

training on Semah fish raising, and ii) to assist local communities in the

production of quality gaharu commodity. The first program was devoted to

Indonesian participants while the second one was devoted primarily for

Sarawakian local communities. A group of BKNP representatives comprising

the management advisor to BKNP-ITTO Project, a gaharu expert, two

technical staffs of BKNP and four local community leaders, participated in

the two mentioned programs while from the Sarawak side, the participants

consisted of Forest Department Sarawak (FDS) staffs and local

communities in selected localities interested in gaharu commodity

development. This programs was based on the Letter of Intent (LOI) signed

by BKNP and FDS Authorities on 5 October 2015 as a concrete follow up to

Activity 1.1 of project PD 617/11 Rev. 4 (F), due to the fact that formal

establishment of the joint task force between Indonesia and Malaysia is

experiencing a serious delay.
