LATAR BELAKANG
Proyek EQSI adalah proyek kerja sama antara MCA-I, Yayasan Kalla, Kalla Kakao Industri (KKI) dan Lembaga Ekonomi Masyarakat Sejahtera (LEMS), dengan tujuan umum untuk mengurangi kemiskinan melalui pertumbuhan rendah karbon yang meningkatkan mata pencaharian masyarakat perdesaan di Indonesia dengan pola pendekatan  ramah lingkungan.  Proyek ini dimulai pada Januari 2016 yang akan melibatkan 20 Desa target dan beberapa Desa lain sekitarnya yang memiliki potensi kakao di wilayah Kabupaten Kolaka Timur, Kabupaten Konawe dan Kabupaten Konawe Selatan Propinsi Sulawesi Tenggara.

Salah satu komponen program EQSI adalah reforestasi atau penanaman kembali lahan-lahan hutan kritis, dengan targetrehabilitasi seluas 7.000 Ha. Sesuai dengan kondisi lahan, metode yang digunakan ada 2 yaitu penaburan benih dari udara (air seeding) dan penanaman manual. Penaburan benih dari udara pada lahan-lahan kritis di wilayah terpencil dan sulit (remote area) se`dangkan penanaman manual pada lahan-lahan milik masyarakat (hutan rakyat) dan kawasan hutan yang memiliki izin legal untuk meningkatkan penyerapan karbon dan memperbaiki kondisi hidrologis sekitar kebun kakao masyarakat, dan sekaligus menjadi sumber pendapatan alternatif masyarakat.

Kegiatan reforestasi banyak dan melibatkan berbagai pihak sehingga memerlukan dukungan berbagai pihak, baik pemerintah, swasta maupun masyarakat. Untuk itu, dilakukan upaya pengembangan program kemitraan dengan para stakeholders sebagai model kolaborasi antara para pihak (Pemerintah, EQSI – Yayasan Kalla / PT KKI dan Masyarakat Petani) dengan harapan besar terhadap keberhasilan program dan terwujudnya pengelolaan hutan lestari dan berkelanjutan.
