2022Also available in:
No results found.This webinar, the fifth webinar of a series on Anticipatory Action, was called “Adopting Anticipatory Action and shock-responsive social protection to strengthen disaster preparedness and resilience: Learning from the ASEAN region”. It was co-organised with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Secretariat, in close collaboration with the Asia-Pacific Regional technical working group on Anticipatory Action and support from the European Union, by the Knowledge Sharing Platform on Resilience, within the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations’ (FAO's) Office of Emergencies and Resilience. Since May 2019, the FAO-led consortium of United Nations (UN) agencies (World Food Programme, United Nations Children's Fund, UN Women), Red Cross Red Crescent Movement (German Red Cross and International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies) and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) (Save the Children International, People in Need, and Dan Church Aid) have been implementing the Directorate-General for European Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations (DG ECHO)-funded project: Scaling up Anticipatory Action and Shock Responsive Social Protection (SRSP) with innovative use of climate risk information for disaster resilience in ASEAN. The ambition of this project was to introduce new and innovative approaches in the implementation of the ASEAN Agreement on Disaster Management and Emergency Response and its work programme. Since its inception, the project has been implementing the ASEAN Guidelines on Disaster Responsive Social Protection to support country roadmaps to incorporate it alongside Anticipatory Action. Specific target countries included: Cambodia, Myanmar, the Philippines and Viet Nam. In mid-October 2021, the project commissioned an independent external evaluation to assess the: (i) relevance of ECHO-supported interventions since 2017; (ii) efficiency and effectiveness of implementation encompassing partnerships, operational arrangements and resource utilization; (iii) achievement of results and impacts on capacity development of ASEAN member states, particularly project target countries and ASEAN; and (iv) cross-cutting issues including inclusivity and resilience. The participatory review process involved all relevant stakeholders: beneficiaries, government officials, ASEAN sector bodies, implementing UN agencies, NGO partners and others. Against this background, the webinar specifically aimed to: • present the key findings on the progress of advancing Anticipatory Action and SRSP in ASEAN (and beyond) through an institutionalized approach; • illustrate project results and lessons learned relevant to the adoption, institutionalization and sustainable financing of Anticipatory Action and SRSP, including meaningful evidence of the project’s COVID-19 cash transfer impacts on beneficiaries; and • discuss recommendations for further scaling up and sustaining the proven approaches. -
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
2022Also available in:
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.

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.
