FORDA-MOF

The Forest and Environment Research, Development and Innovation Agency (literal Indonesian: Badan Penelitian, Pengembangan, dan Inovasi Hutan dan Lingkungan Hidup), officially named Research, Development, and Innovation Agency (Indonesian: Badan Penelitian, Pengembangan, dan Inovasi, BLI) of the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (Indonesian: Kementerian Lingkungan Hidup dan Kehutanan, Kemen LHK). The agency nationally known as BLI, while internationally known as FORDA-MOF. The agency was a supporting unit of the Ministry of Environment and Forestry. The agency was responsible for performing researches on environmental sciences, climate change and its mitigation, and forestry in Indonesia.

The agency was targeted to be disbanded and replaced with National Research and Innovation Agency (Indonesian: Badan Riset dan Inovasi Nasional, BRIN). The agency had been disbanded de jure after the issuance of Presidential Decree No. 92/2020 on 14 September 2020, which ordered the research units of BLI/FORDA-MOF to be relinquished to BRIN and the large part of the agency converted into Environment and Forestry Instrumentation Standardization Agency (Indonesian: Badan Standarisasi Instrumen Lingkungan Hidup dan Kehutanan, BSI LHK). Despite that, the transitional provision of the decree permitted the research centers/units under the former BLI/FORDA-MOF to be temporarily operated and supervised by BSI LHK until the integration to BRIN finalized. On 1 July 2021, the agency was confirmed to be dissolved de facto and replaced by BSI LHK thru Ministry of Environment and Forestry Decree No. 15/2021.
