Collaborative forest management of teak forest in Central Java
INTRODUCTION
Levelling the Playing Field (LPF) Project conducted an action research
project with the state-owned company, Perum Perhutani (PP), who manages more
than 2 million ha of state forest in Java Island. LPF focused on a program
called PHBM (Pengelolaan Hutan Bersama Masyarakat) or Collaborative Forest
Management (CFM). Following the LPF project implementation framework, we work in
3 phases. The first phase is initialization and baseline, which intends to
understand the situation and the perspectives of stakeholders’. Intervention is
the second phase in which we facilitate local stakeholders to take collective
decisions and provide trainings to improve local community’s capacity to
negotiate with other actors towards fair agreement about forest management. The
last phase is called monitoring and evaluation, in which the project monitors
progress and measures impacts, and conduct participatory evaluation with all
stakeholders about the project’s impact and lessons learnt.
