307 ■ Annex B Report of the XI World Forestry Congress Technical Session No. 27 Better Addressing Conflicts in Natural Resource Use through the Promotion of Participatory Management from Community to Policy Levels Topic 27 20 October Aspendos Auditorium Chairman: Untung Iskandar Moderators: Abdoulaye Kane and Marilyn Hoskins Technical Secretaries: Sedat Ayanoglu and Katherine Warner Special Paper: Claude Desloges and Michelle Gauthier Panel: Silvano Aureoles Conejo, Berken Feddersen, Abdoulaye Kane and Diane Rocheleau Outcome of the Session General The session focused on various dimensions of forest resource conflicts in the context of community forestry, and the strategies and tools devel- oped to address such conflicts. There is growing evidence that if forestry is to play a key role in sustainable development, forest-dependent communities must be fully involved in both the decision-making process and actions concerning the land and resources they inhabit and use. Sustainable forest development will not be achieved if it fails to (1) consider the needs and aspirations of rural and forest- dwelling communities and (2) acknowledge and address, in an appropriate and Community Forestry Unit ■ Integrating Conflict Management Considerations into National Policy Frameworks ■ 308 timely way, the conflict situations created by competition for the use of forest resources. Participatory forest resource management is crucial in this context as it creates an environment in which all actors can harmonize diverging views and may collaboratively plan and act together. Participatory management embraces how forest and tree resources should be used for the benefits of all partners, including the environment and future generations. Case studies presented at the session emphasized the need to clearly identify power relationships between forest-dependent communities and other actors such as government institutions, private enterprises and NGOs. These presen- tations led to a discussion that focused on the challenges of implementing truly participatory approaches in land use planning and sustainable forest management. The results of the Satellite Meeting on “Integrating Conflict Consid- erations into National Policy Frameworks” were presented and discussed. The “Guiding Principles and Recommendations” that were prepared during the Satel- lite Meeting, were also presented. The session noted that participatory policy- making and planning is required but it can be a slow process. The session stressed the need to: develop links between the global and local level; build trust and confi- dence; develop partnership; strengthen communication and conflict resolution skills at all levels; empower local communities to address inequity and reduce power disparity; develop monitoring and evaluation procedures and follow-up. The session highlighted the importance of addressing specific situa- tions rather than generalities. It also emphasized the need to develop practical ways and means to implement the general “Guiding Principles and Recommendations.” Furthermore, the session reaffirmed the importance of conflict management training at all levels.
