The main objective of publishing this Outlook is to provide information on investment opportunities in all forms in the District of Siak, Riau, that will support the comprehensive and integrated jurisdictional approach in developing Siak sustainably.

Siak is to become a green district. To achieve this, in a participatory multi-stakeholder manner, we have formulated the Siak Green District Roadmap. To facilitate its implementation, we have enacted key legal instruments, namely the Head of District Regulation No. 22/2018, followed by District Regulation No. 4/2022 on Green Siak.

The jurisdictional approach is one that spatially harmonizes the production of commodities, the upstreaming of commodity and other sectors, as well as conservation, so that development in the area can be carried out without degrading natural resources and the environment, while being supported by sufficiently protected ecosystem services.

The harmonization is also carried out by all stakeholders collaboratively. In this regard, Siak prides itself on being facilitative to multi-stakeholder collaborative processes in its development planning, implementation, and monitoring. The District of Siak is a very active and leading member of the Sustainable District Forum (Lingkar Temu Kabupaten Lestari, LTKL). The Government of the District of Siak also benefits from the productive engagement of civil society through Sedagho Siak, which facilitates participatory multi-stakeholder consultations.

This Outlook includes a list of investable jurisdictional initiatives that have been collaboratively curated among stakeholders and represent a combination of commodity production and conservation. This is the first such Outlook, and we intend to publish it regularly to inform any updates or additional initiatives in the future.

We thank all those who have actively contributed to the development of this Outlook. We also extend our gratitude to potential funders and investors who engage with us. It is our hope that the information contained in this Outlook demonstrates our serious commitment to developing Siak as a green and sustainable district.
