ABSTRACT

This chapter continues analyzing what has happened over the years in the Jambi site, broadly speaking. Where Chapter 2 focused on what has happened in the community of Baru Pelepat, a focus of CIFOR’s early ACM activity; here, Liswanti, Tamara, and Arwida shift gears, examining what happened at the Kabupaten (district) level over these same years, following multi-stakeholder efforts to coordinate and share information related more to the district. The multi-stakeholder group included active participation and agency on the part of NGOs, universities, government officials, and community members, as well as the World Agroforestry Center (ICRAF). The CIFOR ACM team was part of this group, playing an important role, along with a number of other people and institutions.
