“Scaling Concept”
of Gorontalo REDD+ Project• From District level ( Demonstration )to Provincial level ( Sub-National )Kanematsu Corporation1

To understand our project simply;• Project Proponent;– (i) Boalemo District Gov., Gorontalo Province– (ii) PT. DKM (Panasonic Gobel Group), Jakarta– (iii) Kanematsu Corporation, Japan• REDD+ Demonstration Activities;– (A) To develop “MRV”, consistent with national
mitigation plan “RAD-GRK” (provincial)– (B) Cacao Project as “Safeguard Program”

and will compare with REL, then, we will know
the emission reduction amount per year.

Five (5) demonstration cacao farms• As a part of REDD+ activities, for each sub-district,
we have set up demonstration farm to show how toproduce high quality cacao.

13

Cacao Program• By providing “Capacity Building” and “Value Chain”,
we help farmers to shift from CORN to CACAO.

14

Training of cacao production• We provide “Capacity Building”.
• More than 20 farmers get together in thedemonstration farm, then, farmers will
broaden the knowledge to local community.
