Presidential Regulation No. 77/2018 on Environment Fund Management is a step toward establishing the REDD+ Funding Instrument, a requirement of the Norway-Indonesia Letter of Intent on REDD+ (Lol). The regulation serves as an operational regulation for Government Regulation No. 46/2017 on Economic Instrument of the Environment and together they form the umbrella regulations for the REDD+ Funding Instrument. Perpres 77/2018 signals the establishment of a non-echelon organization, likely BPDLH (Environment Fund Management Agency/Body), to manage the fund using the Public Agency Service (BLU) financial pattern.

The scope of the environment fund under Perpres 77/2018 is limited to the Environment Pollution and Damage Handling and Restoration Fund, and Trust Fund/Conservation Grant, excluding the Environment Restoration Guarantee Fund outlined in PP 46/2017. Additionally, the enactment of Regulation of Minister of Village No. 16/2018 allows for the use of the Village Fund (Dana Desa) for climate change mitigation and adaptation activities, including REDD+ and Proklim, which can mobilize resources at the village level.
