“…To support SF development, scholars have critically reviewed various initiative implementations. These reviews often involve literature studies and case comparisons across regions [8,9,14,[16][17][18][19][20], and explore policies and government programs as new institutions for local communities [14,21]. Therefore, it's crucial to conduct studies that delve into the development of scientific knowledge production related to SF in specific areas over time, providing deeper insights into the situations and challenges of SF implementation.…”

This review delves into the nuanced relationship between agriculture and forestry within the context of SF in Lampung Province, Indonesia. Over almost 50 years, the region has undergone a transformative journey, culminating in the 2016 SF initiative. This paper examines the symbiotic dynamics between agricultural and forestry interests, emphasizing the challenges and successes encountered in three generations of SF programs. SLR was chosen to be used as a method to produce a comprehensive and indepth review. The analysis explores the pivotal role of NGOs and international research institutions in influencing policy changes and shaping the success of community forest programs. The research underscores the economic benefits of SF areas and collective resilience to climate change. In three generations of SF, it has experienced a shift in focus from gaining recognition and legality from the government towards knowledge production and policy improvements. Incomplete tenure agendas and the economic intricacies of various agroforestry practices emerge as critical areas requiring attention. Empowering diverse groups requires deeper consideration. This comprehensive examination not only contributes valuable insights to Lampung and Indonesia but also enriches the global understanding of how the interwoven dynamics between agricultural and forestry interests influence the trajectory of SF initiatives.

Social forestry (SF) is a strategic government program with the primary goal of enhancing the well-being of communities living around forested areas. This study aims to evaluate institutional governance and performance of social forestry holders in East Kalimantan, Indonesia. This research also analyses challenges and opportunities of social forestry development in the region. The research findings indicate that in April 2023, there were 123 social forestry permit holders in East Kalimantan, managing a total area of 271,113 hectares. Among these permit holders, 51 (42%) demonstrated good institutional governance and performance, while 19 (15.45%) had good governance but weak performance. Furthermore, 15 (12.20%) permit holders had weak governance but good performance, and there were 38 (30.9%) permit holders with both weak institutional governance and performance. The social forestry program in East Kalimantan still faces several challenges, including institutional capacity, funding and institutional issues, and policies. Strategies that can be implemented include: integrating the social forestry program with village planning (Integrated Area Development/IAD), strengthening institutions through mentoring and building a center of excellence, accessing markets for commodities, and providing funding and financing access for the social forestry holders.
