The fund draws its unique strength from being founded on Planet Indonesia’s long-term community partnerships and proven tools for strengthening local leadership. It addresses the need for flexible funding models that account for local financial literacy, community risk perceptions, and diverse priorities.

The fund aims to achieve equity in conservation and climate finance, by expanding funding access and strengthening local capacity, enabling frontline communities to lead and sustain their own solutions.

The fund is managed by representatives from Yayasan Planet Indonesia.

With its management and decision-making headed in Indonesia, the representatives chose the woven rattan basketry, connecting hands, communities, and forests across Indonesia, to inspire the fund’s visual motif. More than just a symbol of culture and heritage, the woven baskets embody the Collective Governance Fund’s core values and acts as a vessel for collaboration, shared strength, and a place to gather resources.
