4. RMI’s Projects on River and biodiversity conservation and the link to child’s rights
2009-2011
•Rural youth empowerment on biodiversity and river conservation issues
•Rural youth is under-researched (Valentine, Skelton and Chambers 1998); Rural youth is overlooked in the society and in academic (Philo 1992)—Deskilled youth (White, 2012, 2014, Katz, 2004)
2012-2015
•Our Rivers Our Life (OROL) Campaign II
•Cisadane River Expedition (Upstream Area)
2014-2016
•Ecotourism-based Kampung development
River is an indicator of land
use—which linked with land
ownership status
5. The Cisadane Hulu MDM• 1,770 hectares: 1000 hectares inside the
claim of Gede Pangrango National Park area
– Inhabited by about 1,000 people
– Immediate discussions on land ownership status
6. RMI’s Involvement in the Forum
2011
• Being the vice chief of the MDM Forum
2014
• Being the facilitator of the MDM Forum
• Leading the think tanks of the forum
8. Benefits of having the multistakeholders forum
• Each stakeholder acknowledges other stakeholders’ needs and roles in the project site
• Better coordination
• Marginalised people involved in the decision-making processes.
• Obtaining more comprehensive data
– various perspectives
– “sensitive data”
9. Benefits of Conducting a Holistic Approach
(e.g. watershed management)
• More opportunities to design a holistic sub-watershed management plan: e.g. land rights issues, education issues
• More flexibilities in designing strategies to attract stakeholders
10. Before and…
• Data collecting carried out only by BPDAS (and sometimes also involve academia)
- Reliability issues
- Absence of gender perspectives
- Absence of youth involvement
- Technocratic approach only; absence of the humanist approach
- Elite captured

10. The latest situation

Implementation – Monitoring plan
• Current position
Planning – Monitoring plan
• Current position
Revising the baseline data
11. Challenges to be further addressed
• The advancement of common vision
• Pseudo-representation of community groups in the forum
• The liaison function to coordinate the forum
• How do we implement the plans after this?
12. Conclusion• Personal relationship is a catalisator for
multistakeholders processes
• It should be prepared for a long-term process by people who have long-term vision
• It is more than agriculture, water and land
