CIFOR scientists from the Global Comparative Study-Tenure Security project and partners from civil society, academia and government took part in a five-day workshop, equipping participants with the skills and knowledge to implement a methodological approach, known as Participatory Prospective Analysis (PPA).
As part of the Global Comparative Study on Tenure Security, PPA will be used in Indonesia to involve local communities, governments, universities and civil society groups in Lampung, Sumatra, and Seram Bagian Barat, Maluku to identify tenure scenarios and the interventions needed to enhance tenure security.
The workshop was facilitated by Robin Bourgeois,Senior Foresight Advisor at the Global Forum on Agricultural Research (GFAR) Secretariat, and was attended by 16 participants, including partners fromAliansi Masyarakat Adat Nusantara (AMAN), the University of Pattimura, the Indonesian Forest Research Development and Innovation Agency, and local Forestry Agency, Watershed Management, and Forest Management Units. More than half of the participants were women. The training is part of a series of capacity building workshops aimed at supporting CIFOR staff in Indonesia, Uganda and Peru to implement PPA, as well as produce guidelines to adapt PPA in the context of land tenure security research.
The use of PPA to tenure security research seeks to:
- Identify key factors affecting tenure security and how they relate to reform implementation
- Identify possible actions to mitigate negative implications and promote positive changes
- Collectively discuss how reform implementation practices can be more effective at increasing tenure security of rights of different actors and related possible actions and set of actors
Participatory Prospective Analysis (PPA) is a foresight scenario-based co-elaborative approach developed in 2004 by CIRAD at UNESCAP-CAPSA.
