The
Ministry of Forestry (MoF) has a huge task to provide data and information for
national and international needs
National
needs: Center Board of Statistics (BPS), Indonesian State Ministry for National
Development Planning (Bappenas), non-government organizations (NGOs) etc
International
needs: Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO),
International Tropical Timber Organization (ITTO) including Joint Forest Sector
Questionnaire (JFSQ), Centre for International Forestry Research (CIFOR), World
Wildlife Fund (WWF), etc
Forestry statistics book,
conventional distribution to users
Electronic data on the MoF
website http://www.dephut.go.id/
Electronic data for limited
access via the Intranet
Lack of skilled human
resources on information technology
Slow accessing of the MoF
website
Other organizations within
the MoF still provide ancillary data on hardcopy only
An integrated forestry
database system has yet to be developed
