ArticleJournal articleEnhancing inclusive management and cooperation of forests for persons with disabilities in Kenya
XV World Forestry Congress, 2-6 May 2022
2022Also available in:
No results found.Kenya is one of the richest countries when it comes to natural forest terrains categorized as protected. These areas embrace various types of ecosystems namely: forests, wetlands, savannah, marine, arid and semi-arid. The areas are managed by two State Corporations: the Kenya Forest Service (KFS) and the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) mandated enhance forest management and to conserve and manage wildlife in Kenya respectively whereas enforcing related laws and regulations. Despite the existing legislations, the access of the forest terrains by persons with disabilities (PWDs) remains unaddressed due to lack of inclusive standardized guidelines. Under this premise, the objective of the study is to establish the existence of inclusive forest access policies in Kenya, as well as explore best practices that can be incorporated on inclusive regulations for forests without boundaries. The study will use an online survey to collect primary data and synthesize the literature to ascertain the extent to which PWDs can access forest landscapes and terrains. The findings of this study will be beneficial to various stakeholders in the forest management sector: Kenya Wildlife Service, Kenya Forest Service, development agencies and all stakeholders within the forestry sector.

ArticleJournal 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.

ArticleJournal 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.

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2021
Transforming food systems for food security, improved nutrition and affordable healthy diets for all
2021In recent years, several major drivers have put the world off track to ending world hunger and malnutrition in all its forms by 2030. The challenges have grown with the COVID-19 pandemic and related containment measures. This report presents the first global assessment of food insecurity and malnutrition for 2020 and offers some indication of what hunger might look like by 2030 in a scenario further complicated by the enduring effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. It also includes new estimates of the cost and affordability of healthy diets, which provide an important link between the food security and nutrition indicators and the analysis of their trends. Altogether, the report highlights the need for a deeper reflection on how to better address the global food security and nutrition situation.To understand how hunger and malnutrition have reached these critical levels, this report draws on the analyses of the past four editions, which have produced a vast, evidence-based body of knowledge of the major drivers behind the recent changes in food security and nutrition. These drivers, which are increasing in frequency and intensity, include conflicts, climate variability and extremes, and economic slowdowns and downturns – all exacerbated by the underlying causes of poverty and very high and persistent levels of inequality. In addition, millions of people around the world suffer from food insecurity and different forms of malnutrition because they cannot afford the cost of healthy diets. From a synthesized understanding of this knowledge, updates and additional analyses are generated to create a holistic view of the combined effects of these drivers, both on each other and on food systems, and how they negatively affect food security and nutrition around the world.In turn, the evidence informs an in-depth look at how to move from silo solutions to integrated food systems solutions. In this regard, the report proposes transformative pathways that specifically address the challenges posed by the major drivers, also highlighting the types of policy and investment portfolios required to transform food systems for food security, improved nutrition, and affordable healthy diets for all. The report observes that, while the pandemic has caused major setbacks, there is much to be learned from the vulnerabilities and inequalities it has laid bare. If taken to heart, these new insights and wisdom can help get the world back on track towards the goal of ending hunger, food insecurity, and malnutrition in all its forms. -
