The workshop was part of activities of ACIAR Project (Australian Center for International Agricultural Research) in collaboration with CIFOR, Trees4Trees, FORDA Bogor and Makasar, Faculty of Forestry of UGM and WWF.

Successful forest management requires the full cooperation of the communities who are affected by these activities. Gaining this trust and cooperation requires a deep understanding of the area and its inhabitants. The people side of this exercise is called Social Impact Assessment (SIA) and considers a community’s culture and economy.
