Collective action
 

 

When ACM began we were very aware that stimulating and encouraging collective action would have to be an integral part of our research efforts. One central question has always been ‘how to do it’. Although various ACM sites tried various approaches, in 2004, CIFOR began to participate in CAPRI:Collective Action and Property Rights Initiative, a system-wide initiative of the CG system. We implemented a two-year project in two districts (and two villages) in Jambi Province in Indonesia. This project used participatory action research at the village level (as had been done in the other ACM sites), but also at the district level, which was an innovation. Heru Komarudin led this research team, with backstopping from Carol J. Pierce Colfer. The results of the approach were sufficiently interesting to result in the use of a similar approach in the five country Landscape Mosaics project on biodiversity.

Below are listed some of the publications that have resulted from this work:

These activities continue to address, in various ways, the goals of the ACM programme, which were to achieve more sustainable and equitable management of forest resources and human well-being in a multi-stakeholder environment through the development and identification of a set of models, institutional arrangements, methods, tools and strategies to empower local communities.
