Partnership between communities and acacia pulp
plantation in South Sumatra
Introduction
In the case study site in South-Sumatra, the CIFOR/Cirad team and the
University Gadjah Mada work together in an area where multi-stakeholders have
different views and power as well as conflicting interests.
2005 was the first year of the LPF project implementation in South Sumatra
and developed activities onwards.
The project is situated in the context of a partnership agreement between the
Acacia mangium forest plantation company Musi Hutan Persada (MHP) and
communities living in and surrounding the plantation. The partnership was
developed to mitigate the conflicts over land uses between the company and local
communities in the 1990s. However, the interests, knowledge and demands of the
communities and the company are evolving, which undermine the partnership.
