ArticleImpact of capacity building in leveraging community skills and livelihoods: lessons learned from social forestry in Indonesia
XV World Forestry Congress, 2-6 May 2022

No results found.Indonesia encounters several challenges in forest management due to the high communities’ demand for forest resources, including the need for agricultural land within state-owned forest areas. Community Based Forest Management (CBFM) is a strategy that emphasizes on the importance of community’s involvement in forest conservation. CBFM planning has an important role in the implementation of effective and sustainable forest management through a participatory approach involving all parties in Planning, Organizing, Actuating, and Controlling. This paper aims to provide information on impact of capacity building in leveraging community skill and livehood in three schemes of Social Forestry (SF) in Indonesia, namely Paru Village Forest (VF)–West Sumatra, Cempaka Forestry Partnership (FP)–Lampung, and Tuar Tana Community Forestry (CF)–East Nusa Tenggara, in collaboration between Forestry and Environment Research, Development and Innovation Agency with the Asian Forest Cooperation Organization (AFoCO). The research was conducted through structured interviews, FGDs and field observations by an analysis unit while the informations obtained were analyzed through descriptively qualitative and quantitative methods. The results showed that the provided assistances and capacity building in three SF schemes have increased the active participation of group members in the preparation of technical plans and implementation of economic value species planting and processing of non-timber forest products (NTFPs).Other benefits are the reduced land boundary conflicts, an increase in the frequency of routine group meetings, an increase in the number of members who are able to process NTFPs into semi-finished or finished goods. This condition shows that the provided assistance is able to increase the capacity of farmers so as to change the perceptions and attitudes of group members and encourage them to actively participate in forest management in three SF area.

ArticleSocial forestry programs: A responsible investment to support sustainable forest management and provide alternative income for local communities, Indonesia
XV World Forestry Congress, 2-6 May 2022
2022Also available in:
No results found.Community-Based Forest Management (CBFM) has had a long experience in Indonesia to support the sustainable forest management. The CBFM approach has evolved into a new model, i.e., Social Forestry (SF). The SF drives to a more legal access from local community to utilize forest area. This SF opens opportunity for a more responsible investment by private sector to create cooperation’s with community organizations. The Forest Investment Program-1 implements CBFM through SF and has conducted activities in 17 villages, targeted a 17,000 ha into an agreement between communities with FMU and private sectors. A SWOT analysis is used to identify potential commodities in the targeted village and also to assess capacity of community organization. Interviews and focused group discussions were conducted to facilitate the development of a proposed cooperation with external parties for potential investment. Within the FIP-1 villages, there are five licenses for Social Forestry. Additionally, 6 new licenses are in the process. A total of USD 5 Million investment is planned for 17 villages. In average, for those 5 villages that has obtained SF licenses, a total of USD 1.6 Million have been invested in creating alternative livelihood, including USD 100 K/village for bee keeping, aquaculture and handicraft business development, USD 1.3 M for forestry program, and USD 222 K for village infrastructure program.

ArticleNyamplung (Calophyllum inophyllum)-based agroforestry for landscape restoration and rural livelihoods in Indonesia
XV World Forestry Congress, 2-6 May 2022
2022Also available in:
No results found.This paper discusses how the adoption of nyamplung-based agroforestry can support landscape restoration and livelihood improvement goals through small- and medium-scale enterprises. First, we identify the amount of degraded land across different provinces in Indonesia, and target restoration sites regulated by the Indonesian Ministry of Environment and Forestry under the country’s Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC). Second, we describe how previous and current development activities have caused landscape degradation and affected the well-being and livelihoods of people in and around these landscapes. We also discuss how nyamplung-based livelihood options through climate smart agroforestry models cultivating nyamplung with maize, rice, peanut and honey in Central Java, or nyamplung-based paludiculture in South Sumatra could be alternative options for rehabilitating various types of degraded land and recreating environmental and social resilience. Results demonstrate that a wide range of agroforestry models might be suitable in various agro-ecological and socio-economic zones on different islands in Indonesia. Finally, by identifying current constraints and revealing potential opportunities, this paper provides recommendations for landowners, policy makers and researchers about the potential of applying nyamplung-based agroforestry models in Indonesia.
