“…As this exact type of analysis on the substantive inclusion of gender and gender mainstreaming principles in REDD+ documents has not been done previously, the methodology for analysis is based on content analysis, which has been used in other studies of REDD+ policies (Sadath & Krott, 2013;Wibowo & Giessen, 2015), and rooted firmly in the three theoretical frameworks outlined in section three.…”

“…Because these projects are supported and funded by a variety of different agencies, there is no one comprehensive list of REDD+ projects in the country, which necessitated an Internet search in order to identify both the projects and the documentation associated with the projects. A similar Internet keyword search methodology has been used with other forestry sector and REDD+ related research (Wibowo & Giessen, 2015). The search for documentation of REDD+ projects in Indonesia was conducted in May 2013 using the search engine Google.…”

This paper analyzes publically available, published documents to conduct a systematic review of the inclusion of gender mainstreaming principles in documents related to one of the largest, most important international forest-preservation projects, Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+). Although more than 60 countries have adopted REDD+ initiatives, this document analysis focuses specifically on REDD+ in Indonesia, both because of its early adoption of REDD+ and as one of the most ecologically diverse and environmentally important countries in the world. Of the 383 documents reviewed, only 88 were found to include any mention of gender, and of those, very few included gender mainstreaming principles to a level that could be considered integrated and substantive. The distinct lack of these widely touted but seldom implemented principles should be of concern to international and national policy makers, and taken under serious consideration during the forthcoming Conference of the Parties (COP) 21 meetings in Paris. Moreover, this analysis is the first step to identifying where women's voices may still be silent, and lays the groundwork for more extensive, on the ground research of REDD+ project sites to evaluate the extent to which gender mainstreaming is or is not incorporated into actual project implementation in Indonesia.

“…Krott et al [62] stated that the stronger power is exercised through day-to-day implementations at the local level in the forest. According to Peters (2010) as cited by Wibowo and Giessen [16], only a single actor has a dominant role in a particular sector, and intersection of responsibilities among state bureaucracies will create conflict of interests and unproductive contestation [105][106][107]. For example, the ADB [95] reported that the conflict between the forest ministry and department created over the dissatisfaction with the department during the final project design for the "Sundarbans Biodiversity Conservation Project-1999."…”

“…Here, the observable facts are linked to obvious action, threat of action, and sources of action, which are considered to be the possible sources of power. These elements might be attributed to one actor, or distributed among a number of actors, which is echoed in the policy tasks assigned to specific actors by policies of a given country [16]. Below (Table 1) is a brief description of each element.…”

“…In order to accomplish any set goals, they can act as political institutions and administrative bodies [12]. As political institutions, bureaucracies are furnished with legitimacy, public mandate, financial and staff resources, and as administrative bodies, they have expertise and information, administrative ideologies, decision-making power, alliances, permanent position and a disregard for politics [12,16,26]. Some of these elements, for example: the "legitimacy" of a bureaucracy in the policy field, largely follows the transfer of specific powers over various resources and policy-making.…”

International and Domestic Sustainable Forest Management Policies: Distributive Effects on Power among State Agencies in Bangladesh

Abstract:The last two decades of forest policy discussions have been dominated by calls for sustainable management of forest resources. Consequently, multiple international and domestic policies, supporting sustainable forest management (SFM), have evolved in numerous jurisdictions. Policies in developing countries often rely on foreign donors' projects, which supplement domestic SFM policy. These policies assign various policy tasks to specific public bureaucracies, who then compete for these very tasks, as well as the related staff and budgets. Therefore, project and policy task assignment greatly influences bureaucratic power. This article analyzes the distributive effects of SFM policy on power (in terms of coercion, incentives and dominant information) among relevant domestic and foreign donor bureaucracies in Bangladesh. Concepts from power theory, bureaucratic politics theory, and concepts of policy and policy process were combined to analyze 121 Bangladeshi SFM policies from 1992-2013, which assign a total of 1012 policy tasks to specific public bureaucracies. Using qualitative content analysis, inferences about power were assigned to specific competing bureaucracies by the totality of SFM policies made. Results identify domestic and foreign bureaucracies whose power distribution benefit most from the SFM policies viz. their competitors. It is concluded that bureaucracies gaining the most power set the limits and directions in designing, implementing and evaluating various elements of any national SFM policies.
