When ACM began,
all team members were aware that conflict was likely to be a significant
issue: Forest management stakeholders have differing and competing
interests, perceptions and ideas about how natural resource management
should be carried out. More people are competing for fewer resources and
there are more perceived resource arenas. Rapid sociopolitical changes such
as globalisation and decentralisation have also brought with them enormous
conflicting issues for resource management. Within the context of ACM, where
collaboration is expected, conflict is a logical consequence. We included it
as an important element in our site selection process and in the evaluation
of our results (Colfer 2005). And its importance became increasingly clear
as our work proceeded. Between 2001 and 2006, Yurdi Yasmi conducted work on
conflict related to ACM in various locations such as Sumatra and Kalimantan.
His work was supported by the governance program leader, Doris Capistrano,
who also arranged for another study to be conducted in Central and West
Africa by Ruben de Koning.
Yasmi has continued his work on this subject, in his doctoral
dissertation and subsequent publications. He now works at the Regional
Community Forest Training Center for Asia and the Pacific, one of CIFOR’s
important partners in the Asia-Pacific region. Although Yasmi and de Koning
have left CIFOR, both of them continued to engage in the Rights and
Resources Initiative, a global initiative that also addresses conflict
management. CIFOR and the Regional Community Forest Training Center are
among the founding members of the Rights and Resources Initiative.
