This document discusses customary forest tenure in the Mekong region. It defines customary tenure as a set of rules and norms created by communities over time to govern land and resource allocation, use, access, and transfer. It notes the over 200 ethnic groups and 70 million people in the region rely on rotational agro-forestry and community-based practices. The document provides an overview of the laws and policies related to customary tenure and community forestry in Cambodia, Lao PDR, Myanmar, and Vietnam. It concludes by stating opportunities exist to further recognize and formalize customary tenure rights in the region.
This document discusses pathways for recognizing customary tenure in the Mekong region. It describes customary tenure as the rules and norms that govern a community's relationship to and use of forest and land resources. There are three main pathways for recognizing customary tenure: self-recognition by communities, co-recognition between communities and external actors, and legal/statutory recognition by the state. Both informal pathways like community mapping and formal agreements, and formal pathways like community forestry programs and land titling, have challenges and opportunities to secure communities' tenure rights and livelihoods. Formal recognition of customary tenure is still limited in providing full rights and can be complex, but opportunities exist to better support self- and co-recognition and increase statutory recognition

International projects present both opportunities and challenges. Managing projects in foreign cultures requires understanding environmental factors like laws and security, as well as cultural differences in areas such as relationships, time orientation, and individualism versus collectivism. Selecting managers able to adapt to new cultures and training them on cultural norms increases chances of success. Managing culture shock and building relationships are also important for working effectively across borders.
Local participation in REDD+ programs can provide benefits but also faces challenges. A study in Indonesia investigated the conditions needed for successful local measurement, reporting, and verification (PMRV) of carbon emissions. Four key conditions were identified: activities must be relevant to local people, build on existing technical capacity, utilize reporting structures informed by other systems, and incorporate local knowledge into verification. However, PMRV also requires broader international support and institutional capacity beyond what can be addressed at the local level alone.

Constructing partnerships for sustainable tourism planning in protected areasMaria Glady
This document discusses collaboration theory and tourism practice in protected areas. It addresses three key aspects for sustainability: complexity, scale and structure of collaborations, and challenges of long-term implementation. Stakeholders in protected area tourism include public, private, non-profit sectors, scientists, industry, communities. Effective collaboration requires addressing representation of nature, integration of local and indigenous knowledge, and long-term structuring of plans. Partnerships vary in scale, from local to international, and structure, from informal to formal agreements. Implementing collaborative outcomes faces challenges like lack of institutionalization. Community-based partnerships can connect conservation and development if ensuring local ownership and long-term sustainability.
1. The document calls for papers for an Africa Regional Meeting of the International Association for the Study of the Commons to be held in Cape Town, South Africa in April 2013.

3. Abstracts are due by January 21, 2013 and should follow the specified format, with the program committee being chaired by researchers from Botswana and South Africa.
Model Forests, Social and political impacts, by Josique, IUFRO World CongressJosique Lorenzo Lemire
Presentation by Josique Lorenzo at the IUFRO World Congress in Salt Lake City, USA, October 7th 2014.
Session 26. International to local forest governance: taking stock of political theories, methodologies and research findings
Organizers: Lukas Giessen (University of Goettingen, Germany), Bas Arts (Wageningen University, Netherlands), Florian Kraxner (International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis, Austria) & Constance McDermott (University of Oxford, UK)
This session aims at taking stock of innovative theoretical, methodological and empirical achievements in forest governance research, from the local to the global level.
Abstract. A Model Forest is a landscape-level approach focused on people working together voluntarily in partnership towards a common vision of the human sustainable development of a large territory in which forest ecosystems play an important role. In the Ibero-American region, there are currently 29 Model Forests in 15 countries, which means that the approach is having a potential impact on the management of over 30 million hectares and on more than 6 million people. The emphasis is usually placed on environmental and economic benefits, whereas this research examines the main social and political impacts which emerge from the analysis of the reports submitted by the Model Forests to the regional network secretariat during the last decade and the data collected through interviews and monitoring activities. The study indicates that Model Forests constitute effective platforms for the application of international agreements, public policies and State programs at the local level, and that they are able to influence decision-makers through advocacy. The paper reviews the success stories of several Model Forests in this regard. Finally, even though the Model Forests process is still at its early stages, the study shows how it can drive long-term sustainability and social change in the communities.

MIT’s administrative community demonstrated that it’s already off to the races when it comes to invention. The jam-packed annual poster session on October 14 brought together 26 sponsoring DLCs and hundreds of Institute community members eager for a preview of what’s next at MIT.
This document summarizes Beth Cullen's work using participatory approaches to natural resource management in Ethiopia. She has facilitated innovation platforms bringing together stakeholders to jointly address issues. One project used participatory video to understand community priorities around restricted grazing, leading to small-scale fodder interventions. Serious games like WAT-A-GAME were also used to build stakeholder capacity and develop collective strategies. While increasing understanding, wider change may require continued work at different scales through nested innovation platforms. Future efforts include piloting interventions from developed concepts and assessing impact of participatory processes.
Gender, tenure and community forests in Uganda and Nicaragua CIFOR-ICRAF
In Uganda and Nicaragua, as in many countries, women are still shut out of forestry decisions at all levels – despite everyone agreeing that women’s participation is important. How can we ensure that gender mainstreaming is ‘process-oriented’ rather than merely ‘ticking boxes’? This presentation focuses on a project in Uganda and Nicaragua aimed at improving women's participation.
CIFOR scientist Anne Larson gave this presentation on 20 June 2012 at a Rio+20 side event titled ‘Linking policy, practice and research for gender-responsive change in forestry’. The side event aimed to promote discussion and the exchange of ideas on concrete ways to address gender inequalities at different governance levels in forestry research and practice, and the risks and opportunities associated with different strategies and choice of partners.
Presentation from IUFRO World congress 2014: People and forests trajectory.
Forestry researchers are taking serious notice of the impacts of forests on people, and people on forests. Encouraging examples include attention to human well-being, attempts to work collaboratively with communities and their subgroups, a focus on power relations (devolution, ethnic and gender studies), and attention to people’s knowledge about forests. More controversial topics like swidden agriculture, human health, nutrition, human rights and population have also been addressed. But much remains to be done.
This document provides an overview of healthy communities and community development. It discusses the history of the healthy communities movement in Canada from the 1840s onward.

This document provides guidance on improving governance of pastoral lands. It discusses how pastoralism is an adaptation to variable and scarce resources, relying on mobility, community access and traditional systems. Strengthening governance is important given challenges of declining resources, population growth and climate change. Key recommendations include recognizing pastoralist knowledge and customary systems, strengthening local organizations, avoiding and managing conflicts, inclusive participation, and integrated land use planning. The guidance is intended to support sustainable pastoralism, rural development, social sustainability, self-determination and environmental protection.

2. Aim, context, and conceptual framework
Aim: To develop approaches that foster the equitable and sustainable
management of common property resources
• In two small water reservoirs, Center-
East Burkina Faso
• Drawing on works on collective
action and management of common
property resources (e.g. Ostrom),
bringing in ‘contact theory’ (Allport
1954, 1958)
3. Research question and methodology

works
6. Key message
Participatory action research in contact zones can support collective action towards
equitable and sustainable management of common property resources under certain
conditions:
