working with GGGI to develop strategies and approaches for green
growth.

broad base of support for a province-wide, peatland restoration and
development program in Central Kalimantan that is technically and

for other provinces to emulate.
The Advisor will:
- Identify and engage with key partners and stakeholders in government, the private sector, academia, civil society, and communications media.
- Provide expert advice and assistance to government counterparts.
