ArticleCapacity building model for developing bamboo industry in Indonesia: A shared learning platform for multi-stakeholder partnerships
XV World Forestry Congress, 2-6 May 2022
2022Also available in:
No results found.Bamboo in Indonesia is one of the non-timber forest products (NTFPs) that has not yet been used and developed effectively. Its utilization still limited within traditional uses in the form of home industries or small scale enterprises. In the other hand the evidences from other countries show that modern methods to utilize bamboo at the industrial scale have improved its values and raise benefits in rural communities. This study in 2014 to 2017 employed approaches of participatory action research and multi-stakeholder analysis to 1) improve the management of bamboo for sustainable uses and for the benefits of rural communities; and 2) enhance stakeholders’ capacity in developing the bamboo industry in Indonesia. The participatory actions research were conducted with the community groups in Bangli and Ngada Regency (Bali and East Nusa Tenggara Province, respectively) by developing models on bamboo utilization started at rural level. Stakeholder analysis and several consultative meetings to address the key problems were conducted at Regencys, regencies and provincial levels; and at the national level to promote the national policy on sustainable bamboo utilization. This program campaign namely “a thousand bamboo villages” became the platform for community-based bamboo industries in Indonesia. These collaborative actions were beneficial for local communities and have unified multi stakeholders’ vision to build a sustainable bamboo industry. This study provides lessons learnt of: (i) the process on how to establish an integrated model of community-based bamboo industry; (ii) the strategy to build a collaborative network on “a thousand bamboo villages” movement; (iii) the community-based approach and stakeholder capacity building for bamboo utilization and people, public, and private partnership of the bamboo industry in Indonesia.

ArticleImpacts of co-management approach in influencing cognitive behavior of stakeholders in conserving the Sundarbans mangrove forest
XV World Forestry Congress, 2-6 May 2022
2022Also available in:
No results found.The Sundarbans – the single largest mangrove forest in the world is under significant pressure of more than 3.5 million people surrounding the forest who are either partially or completely dependent on the natural resources of the forest for their livelihoods. The management of this reserved forest was found ineffective for several decades mainly due to increased population pressure. It has been more than a decade since the government of Bangladesh have introduced co-management approach (CMA) which involved the local communities to the management functions of the forest. After the completion of several CMA-based projects, this research explored the impacts of CMA by influencing the cognitive behavior of different stakeholders which facilitated the conservation efforts of the Sundarbans. Factors affecting the changes in the local stakeholders’ behavior viz., literacy rate and alternative income generating sources, attitude, performance experience, observational learning, and emotional arousal were revealed in this qualitative study. It inquired how CMA influenced the behavioral changes of the local stakeholders by improving social and environmental awareness. This study also identified the problems and role of higher institutional bodies in changing the locals’ attitude towards the co-management functions. It also found the relationship among the components of CMA and the elements of cognitive behavior influencing the decision-making process of different stakeholders. The study examined whether this process moved forward or not to a sustainable solution for the conservation of the mangrove forest. The findings of the research are expected to help the policy makers to take various policy decisions for the improved and sustainable management of the Sundarbans mangrove forest. Moreover, the findings are also applicable as nature-based solutions for climate-change adaptation through changed attitudes and behaviors of local community people.

DocumentCommunity forest certification and stakeholders cooperation: An inclusive approach to enhance community capacity while meeting market demand on sustainably-certified products
XV World Forestry Congress, 2-6 May 2022
2022Also available in:
No results found.Community forestry has begun a way to manage forest by involving surrounding communities. Indonesia has 2.6 million hectares of community forest with potential wood stock 74.7 million m3 (Ministry of Forestry Statistical Report, 2014). It is also indicated that the amount of timber harvested by communities has increased during the last decade, reaching more than 5 million m3 annually. When the logs production from the community forest tends to increase, its wood stock sustainability becomes concern to some stakeholders. Further, community forest holders who are typically small scale operations also become a consideration in implementing community forest certification. The study focus on the approach of IFCC and PEFC in building community forest certification scheme as a tool to enhance community capacity in managing the forest whilst also as a market-based instrument by linking market demands of sustainably-certified products with its producers. IFCC[1] has developed the community forest certification system with its objective to cooperate with multi stakeholders in enhancing community capacity to manage forest sustainably and meet the market demand. The development of IFCC standard for community forest was implemented in manners that are open, transparent and consensus-based.
[1] IFCC is an organization of scheme owner and developer of sustainable forest management in Indonesia which has been endorsed by Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC) since 2014.
