Pred Nai Community Forestry Group based in the coastal mangrove forests of Thailand was recognized by the UNDP in 2004 as an example of a successful case of community-based management. The overall purpose of this research was to study the Pred Nai group in order to learn about the institutional and organizational characteristics, and the cross-scale linkages that facilitate community-based management. This qualitative research was carried out during four months of fieldwork in rural Thailand using interviews and participant observation. Pred Nai Community Forestry Group has been working toward the sustainable use and restoration of the local mangrove forest. The principal means they have employed includes the restoration of formerly logged and degraded areas and the development of a forest management plan. In addition to stopping the loss of existing biodiversity, their efforts have also resulted in the return of many formerly displaced native fauna, including species of wetland birds and monkeys. Pred Nai’s conservation efforts have also had a direct impact on alleviating poverty and facilitating local economic development. This has come about through the improvement of yields in the local crab harvest, the utilization of non-timber forest products from the mangroves, and the establishment of a village savings fund to assist with social and economic development initiatives. The restoration and conservation of mangrove forests has improved the long-term sustainability of the villagers’ economic activities...Item Towards an ecosystem approach to the sustainable management of the Litani watershed - Lebanon : final narrative report(2007-09) Litani River Authority (LRA); National Council for Scientific Research (NCSR); Development Studies Association (DSA)The Ain As Saiffiyeh spring, from which the RIM bottled water factory draws water, is also a major source for the Litani watershed. Meters below the RIM plant, agricultural, domestic and industrial effluents begin to foul the water. Within a few short kilometres, spring water is dangerously polluted - unfit even for a water treatment facility. The Litani River Project worked to raise awareness and change attitudes and behaviour in the watershed. The project engendered both strong social and scientific research components, including capacity building and dissemination of research. Appendix B summarizes scientific achievements.Item Decentralisation and health policy reforms in Uganda : institutional capacities and frameworks for facilitating shared effective responsibility for service provision; a final report(Department of Women and Gender Studies, Makerere University, Kampala, UG, 1999-09) Manyire, Henry; Asingwire, Narathius; Nzabanita, Amos; Abwaimo, FrancisItem Fishing in my island(Old Providence and Santa Catalina Fishing and Farming Cooperative Enterprise, 2004) Gómez Echeverry, Viviana; Rojas Garzón, Jairo AntonioItem Diálogo intercultural para la construcción pacifica de procesos de conservación biológica y cultural : Parque Nacional Natural Nukanchipa Alpa Indiwasi, Caquetá, Colombia(2004) Instituto de Etnobiología; Amazon Conservation Team; Tandachiridu Inganokuna; University for PeaceItem Sol tiene casa : cuento infantil(2004) Asociación de Cabildos; Tandachiridu Inganokuna; Instituto de Etnobiología; University for PeaceItem Bautizo del Indiwasi : la historia detrás de la historia(2004) Asociación de Cabildos; Tandachiridu Inganokuna; Instituto de Etnobiología; University for PeaceItem Nuestra memoria de Indiwasi : seriado de 4 programas radiales(2004) Asociación de Cabildos; Tandachiridu Inganokuna; Instituto de Etnobiología; Unviersity for PeaceItem Conflicto MLP : estrategias de gestión de las diferentes etapas del conflicto compañía minera los pelambres vs. Pescadores artesanales de los vilos y agricultores de los valles del Choapa y Pupío, en la Cuarta región, Chile(Observatorio Latinoamericano de Conflictos Ambientales, 2004) Observatorio Latinoamericano de Conflictos AmbientalesItem Integrated wastewater management policies and technologies in the marginal communities on Jordan [Arabic language](2007) Royal Scientific Society - JordanItem Themes of stakeholder participation in greywater management in rural communities in Jordan [Arabic version](2006) Dalahmeh, Sahar S.; Assayed, Moayied; Suleiman, Wael T.Item Integrated wastewater management policies and technologies for marginal communities in Jordan(Royal Scientific Society, Amman, JO, 2007-10) Suleiman, Wael; Dalahmeh, Sahar; Assayed, Moayied; Sawalha, Ahmed; Al Mashagbah, Othman; AL-Hmou, NisreenItem Impacto de la migración y las remesas sobre la gestión de los recursos naturales -con énfasis en bosque, suelo y agua- en cuatro municipios del departamento de Olancho(Red de Desarrollo Sostenible de Honduras, Tegucigalpa, HN, 2010-10) Isaula, Raquel; Reyes, Wilmer; Torres, Pedro; Cerrato, Juan Carlos; Ortega, Oscar OmarItem Adaptive Collaborative Management of Community Forests in Asia : experiences from Nepal, Indonesia and the Philippines(Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR), Bogor, ID, 2007) Fisher, Robert; Prabhu, Ravi; McDougall, CynthiaAdaptive management is a way of dealing with uncertainty and complexity; collaborative management is about sharing management, power and responsibility. In forest areas across Asia the expansion of palm oil plantations, indiscriminate logging and clearance of forests put forests and the communities that depend on them under pressure. The development of flexible, participatory governance systems that can learn from experience and generate knowledge is an important mechanism for adaptation and resilience. Can collaborative learning really address direct conflicts of interest? The book explores this question using case studies and evidence-based research towards better strategies, processes, arrangements and tools.Item Facilitating forests of learning : enabling an adaptive collaborative approach in community forest user groups; a guidebook(Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR), Bogor, ID, 2009) McDougall, Cynthia; Pandit, Bishnu Hari; Banjade, Mani Ram; Paudel, Krishna Prasad; Ojha, HemantIn this guidebook, we share suggestions for how a team of facilitators and a community forest user group (CFUG) can catalyse and maintain an approach to governance and management that draws on and strengthens the CFUG’s own adaptive and collaborative capacities. This approach fits within the Community Forestry framework and supports CFUGs in addressing two fundamental challenges: equity and the generation of livelihood benefits. In our experience, active and thoughtful facilitation of this approach can help CFUGs make their governance more inclusive, address tensions within the group, create more active groups with greater shared ownership of the community forest, and spark more livelihood generation activities, including for the poor. The transition to such an approach is not an easy or straight path: it involves changing relations and perspectives. Groups and their facilitators may use the suggestions in this book to help guide them as they travel on their journey, but the choices and steps are ultimately their own. Similarly, the specific outcomes of the change will be unique in each context. But this is also a strength: just as every CFUG is unique and everchanging, so its aspirations and its optimal strategies of governance and management will also be unique and ever-changing. We sincerely hope that this guidebook will prove useful to you in your own community forestry journey.Item Forests of learning : experiences from research on an adaptive collaborative approach to community forestry in Nepal; a synthesis of lessons from the Adaptive Collaborative Management Research Project in Nepal, 1999–2002 and 2004–2007(Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR), Bogor, ID, 2008) McDougall, Cynthia; Ojha, Hemant; Banjade, Mani Ram; Pandit, Bishnu Hari; Bhattarai, Tara; Maharjan, Manik; Rana, SushilaIn recent years, awareness has grown in Nepal and globally regarding two of community forestry’s most critical challenges: equity and livelihoods. Yet even as understanding of these challenges has improved, actors from the local to the national levels in Nepal continue to be confronted with the dilemma of how to address these challenges in such a diverse, complex and dynamic context. This synthesis explores an adaptive collaborative approach to governance and management as one avenue to meet these challenges. This approach integrates inclusive decision making, networking, social learning, and pro active adjustments of practice and policies based on learning. The synthesis’ lessons are drawn from a six-year partnership-based research initiative in Nepal—spearheaded by the Center for International Forestry Research—which spanned the local, district and national levels. Key points of learning discussed in this book include factors, processes and arrangements that support—or limit—adaptive and collaborative capacities, such as active facilitation, ‘nested’ decision making, and learning-based monitoring. The book also explores both the conceptual underpinnings of the approach as well as its effects in research sites, including in terms of benefits for the poor, women and other traditionally marginalised people. This book is intended as a resource for policy makers and civil society practitioners alike, as well as researchers and others interested in pro-equity and livelihood innovations in community forestry. Through its clear conceptual and research lesson focus, this synthesis complements and is a sister publication to the hands-on guidebook entitled Facilitating Forests of Learning.Item Themes of stakeholder participation in greywater management in rural communities in Jordan(Elsevier, 2009-07) Dalahmeh, Sahar S.; Assayed, Moayied; Suleiman, Wael T.This paper aims at documenting the experience of the Environmental Research Center at the Royal Scientific Society in stakeholder participation in greywater management (treatment and reuse) in the rural communities in the northeastern Badia of Jordan. Stakeholders participating in the management process included local people, nongovernmental organizations, community-based organizations, governmental authorities, scientists and experts from universities and research institutions. The local stakeholders committee, NGOs, CBOs and local people have participated in capacity-building programs, data collection, situation analysis, problems identification, selection of types and locations of treatment technologies and construction and operation of treatment units and reuse projects. Experts, scientists and governmental entities contributed to the development of a treatment technology selection matrix and identification the best technology that suits the study area. The study reveals that the incorporation of input from a broad range of sectors and stakeholders during the project insured cooperative management of the greywater resources and enhanced project quality and ownership.
