Forest Tenure Reform Implementation: Perspectives from National And Sub-national Government Officials In Multiple Settings Tuti Herawati, Esther Mwangi, Iliana Monterosso, Baruani Mshale, Mani Ram Banjade, Anne Larson and Nining Liswanti Centre for International Forestry Research (CIFOR) t.herawati@cgiar.org Introduction   Reform implementation involves diverse actors with multiple roles and interests, including government officials. Few studies have attempted to systematically document the conditions facing government agency implementers in multiple settings in their efforts to implement tenure reform. This study attempts to generate insights into the underlying processes and factors that influence tenure reform implementation. In particular it identifies the factors that enhance or constrain reform implementation from the perspective of individual implementers in government agencies at national and sub-national levels in four countries: Indonesia, Peru, Nepal and Uganda. These countries introduced reforms in their forestry sectors in the late 1990s; most of these reforms were intended to shift greater rights and responsibilities over forest resources to lower levels of governance including sub-national actors and local communities. By focusing on the experiences of forestry officials we expect to gain a deeper understanding of the characteristics, underlying assumptions, and consequences of tenure reform efforts. Ultimately, we aim to provide policy makers and practitioners with information and knowledge that will enable them modify existing implementation strategies to meet policy goals. Such knowledge and information will also provide opportunities for adaptive learning and change. Results : Most interviewees indicate that forest tenure reforms have three interrelated main objectives: to conserve forests and restore degraded forests, to improve community livelihoods and ensure benefits are equitably distributed; and to secure the rights of local, forest-adjacent/forest-dwelling communities. Majority of the officials view it as their responsibility to safeguard community rights. According to them reform implementation has been effective or somewhat effective in protecting community rights to access, use, manage and benefit from forests. Close to half of the respondents indicated that their activities gave special consideration to low income groups. Materials and methods Data collected through interview since July to December 2016, with total of 119 government officials. Gender distribution as illustrated in Figure 1 and Figure 2 illustrated the distribution of respondent based on level of organization. Preliminary analysis of data generated from interviewing up to 119 government officials across the four countries provides insights into the factors that influence whether and how bureaucrats implement their legal mandates and how their implementation efforts further influences local tenure security and incentives for sustainable forest management. Conclusions Collaboration and coordination in reform implementation is minimal despite all interviews indicating that coordination is important for improving reform outcomes. There are limited formal arrangements to support coordination among the various actors involved in implementation reforms. The few instances of coordination are ineffective largely undermined by time and budget constraints. There is widespread acknowledgement that collaboration can be improved by setting aside budgets to support collaboration, by formal commitments to collaborate on specific tasks, crafting formal structures and mechanisms for collaboration and capacity building on how best to structure and implement functional and effective collaborations. With regards to how best to improve current job performance, respondents identified capacity building as an important measure, however their preferred options for capacity building have little bearing on implementing reforms that are targeted at strengthening and safeguarding community rights such as participatory forest management, community facilitation and negotiation support, or collaborative management. Most prefer the enhancement of technical capacities, such as GIS, rather than institutional dimensions. Overall, respondents agree that reforms are only partially implemented due to technical and institutions constraints such as inadequate budgets and staffing levels, which in turn influence the extent to which collaboration/coordination among actors can be achieved and the extent to which community tenure needs such as conflict management and resolution can be addressed. CIFOR would like to thank the implementing agencies who represented different institutions in Indonesia, Nepal, Peru, Uganda, who actively participated in the bureaucrat survey. . .
