3 Indonesia Support multi-stakeholder negotiation processes that are inclusive, integrated and informed in planning land uses for sustainable landscapes that can enhance livelihoods, economic growth and Build maintain common Ecosystem visions and Services understandings among working groups of multiple stakeholders Collect and compile best available relevant data (e.g. admin plans, land use/cover, biophysical factors, demographic, socio-economic) Strengthen capacities in: quantifying ecosystem functions analyzing trade offs between conservation-development developing options and simulating scenarios negotiating best scenarios over ex-ante impact analysis implementation, monitoring and evaluation within the existing policy framework Facilitate and negotiate public consultations and high level discussions to mainstream plans into programs of local government and identify other potential financing mechanisms Align and engage with policy processes at the local and

4 Scenario development Understanding drivers Where are likely changes that will happen based on the modeling of these drivers? Changes in drivers can be accommodated (e.g. new road, etc.). Projected conversion areas can be the result of: Exogenous processes, perhaps from regional or global models, Historical LULCC rates in each PU, Forward-looking scenario, with considering future needs for lands to improve economics and social performance Driving factors Business As Usual Scenario

6 Agroforestry and Forestry in Sulawesi (AgFor) Ultimate Outcome (Goal): Increase in equitable and sustainable forestry and agroforestry-based incomes among poor women and men in Sulawesi Intermediate Outcomes (objectives): Improved livelihoods for smallholder farmers through sustainable and gender-equitable use of agroforestry and forestry systems. Increased involvement of women and men in participatory governance of land use and natural resources at sub-district and district levels. Improved, integrated management of landscapes and ecosystems by local stakeholders through enhanced capacity. Funding: Canadian Government, CIDA (now GAC, Global Affairs Canada

7 Enriching smallholder land use Guidelines published on nursery management, vegetative propagation, and smallholder cacao, rubber, coffee, black pepper, timber, clove, durian and Rambutan production systems. 13,655 individuals (34% women) trained in agroforestry management at 461 events 13,956 individuals (35% women) trained in nursery management at 912 events 155 group nurseries and 131 individual nurseries produced 1,338,976 seedlings 366,137 individuals (52%) have benefited from improved access to quality seedlings 491 farmer demonstration trials (FDTs) established with 2417 farmers (36% women) 35 rapid marketing appraisals conducted with 565 farmers and traders (35% women) identifying crops and value chains that hold potential for smallholder farmers.

8 Indonesia Rural Economic Development on Sumba (IRED) Severe land degradation due to: cultural concept of land ownership (limited land tenure for most people) open grazing semiarid climate annual fires poor tree planting/management skills limited access to germplasm

9 Rehabilitation action Species identified that match the site, family needs and market opportunities Nursery training and establishment (farmers produce their own seedlings) Tree planting trials established and evaluated (current little knowledge) Understory crop production (vegetables & ginger) for home and sale
