Welcome to Module 3 Lesson 3

This lesson focuses on building support across stakeholder groups for improving legal, policy, governance, and financial frameworks that you have identified as needed to enable your ecosystem restoration program. This work is guided by the results of the assessments conducted in Module 3 Lesson 1 and Module 3 Lesson 2.

PRINCIPLE 5

Objectives

In this lesson, you will learn:

Understand how a participatory process can be applied to build support for your restoration strategy.

Learn how a validation process can enhance the legal, policy, and financial frameworks for ecosystem restoration.

Identify potentially low-hanging ‘policy and institutional’ fruits from the perspective of all stakeholders and rights holders.

Natural resource governance

The norms, institutions, and processes that determine how power and responsibilities over natural resources are exercised, how decisions are made, and how citizens – including women, men, youth, Indigenous peoples, and local communities – secure access to, participate in, and are impacted by the management of natural resources.i

Stakeholder

Any person or party interested in or affected by a decision process. Stakeholders can include those who will be materially affected by a decision, those who need or want to take action to secure a flow of ecosystem services, those who might take action that would impede the flow of ecosystem services, and those who are not aware they are benefiting from or impeding flows.

Building support

Module 3 Lesson 1 talked about assessing enabling conditions for ecosystem restoration in your context, and Lesson 2 focused on assessing land tenure. This lesson takes the findings of these assessments to the next level. This lesson focuses on building support for your restoration strategy through a participatory validation assessment, which will help determine whether the overarching conclusions and recommendations make technical, political, and institutional sense.

The starting point for this step is bringing together leading national experts, subnational and local government, and civil society stakeholders to critically assess the key conclusions and recommendations of the assessment. It is important for all stakeholders, including local community members, to review the conclusions and recommendations of the assessment. The outcomes of this consultation should inform the next steps of the restoration process.i

Prioritizing Policy interventions

Policy implications and policy and institutional 'readiness' for ecosystem restoration.

Identification of gaps in the 'restoration readiness' (including tenure) and recommendations to address these.

Stock-take of whether the assessment recommendations adequately address national priorities and commitments.

Identification of the investment and finance structure to allow the implementation of the restoration action plan.

Discussion on the favorable framework for the restoration program.i

REFERENCE

Seeking consensus

During the consultation process with all the relevant stakeholders, the goal is to achieve consensus on the following questions:

What national policies and other measures would stimulate restoration?

What national policies may constrain or stimulate restoration approaches (endangered species legislation, forestry legislation, agricultural legislation)?

Do the solutions developed have to fit within the broader legal context - whether at national or local level?

What knowledge, tools, capacity, and finance are most needed to promote restoration in this specific area?

How can the demand for restoration be strengthened: Improved market conditions? Improved capacity at district level? Direct payments to land-owners?Awareness-raising campaigns? Clarity regarding land tenure?

How can coordination across relevant stakeholders be improved?i

REFERENCE

Prioritizing policy interventions

Once you have discussed the key questions with your stakeholders, take the conclusions from this exercise and transform them into a list of policy, finance, knowledge, and capacity-building measures. Once you have developed this list, insert these interventions into a table and ask your stakeholders to rank them in order of:

Priority (with 1 being the most essential measure they feel needs to be in place in order to support the desired restoration outcomes).

Having these two simple sets of analyses will allow you to understand what policy and institutional interventions your stakeholders consider most important to support restoration outcomes, and which ones they see as the easiest to achieve. When you analyze the results, your task is to identify potentially low-hanging ‘policy and institutional’ fruits and make sure that everyone is on the same page regarding the order of interventions that will be undertaken by the restoration team.i

Example

During this step, define the boundaries of the diagnosis to avoid unnecessary research, and produce actionable results. This might include, for example, defining the geographic scope of the landscape to which the diagnostic tool will be applied (i.e. the ‘candidate landscape’), and considering the potential timeframe and goals of the restoration of this landscape.i

Participatory process

We have discussed the importance of making sure that the steps taken by the restoration team are based on the agreement of the stakeholders and rights holders. It is worth reiterating here that this exercise is not only about engaging decision-makers exclusively.

Stakeholders should include Indigenous Peoples who might be affected by the restoration process, women, and other groups that are often left out of the consultation processes.

The success of your restoration program will require the formulation of an enabling framework that involves a wide range of stakeholders spanning beyond local and national officials.

As you build support for your ecosystem restoration strategy, make sure that you involve all the local stakeholders and rights holders from the beginning, and conduct a prioritization exercise with them, adjusted to their local circumstances, knowledge, and mandate.

It might be challenging to ensure equal participation of all relevant stakeholders in the validation exercise. To facilitate this process, consider consulting The Natural Resource Governance Framework (NRGF) Assessment Guide. At this stage, the NRGF Assessment Guide recommends conducting a participatory evaluation. Explore an example and think of the indicators you would include in your evaluation.

REFERENCE

The Southern Agricultural Growth Corridor of Tanzania (SAGCOT) initiative is a large-scale, 20-year public-private partnership (PPP) launched by the Government of Tanzania in 2010. The initiative aims to foster adherence to a rights-based approach, and enhance social and economic inclusion of agribusinesses to improve food security, reduce rural poverty, and ensure environmental sustainability. The initial research and scoping phases of the assessment in the Kilombero Cluster of SAGCOT were followed by a participatory analysis and validation of the recommendations with communities and other stakeholders. The NRGF was used to understand who in the Kilombero Cluster has the right to participate, and whether individuals with governing authority are open to a participatory approach. NRGF was also used to understand who can influence implementation decisions. Review the summary of the analysis of inclusive decision-making.

Explore how the Natural Resource Governance Framework (NRGF) was applied in the Kilombero Valley in Tanzania.

During this step and throughout your program, ensure the engagement of all relevant stakeholders and rights holders. Remember that building support for your restoration strategy through validation exercises should be informed by an assessment conducted at the very beginning of your program implementation.

Congratulations on completing Module 3 Lesson 3!

The key points to remember from this lesson are:The participatory process is crucial to building broad support for your strategy.It is important to bring together all relevant stakeholders and rights holders to discuss priorities and ease of implementation of different restoration interventions.

You should finish this lesson with an understanding of: The foundational questions for prioritizing policy interventions.Potentially low-hanging ‘policy and institutional’ fruits from the perspective of all relevant stakeholders and rights holders.

To put the information you have learned to practice, review the Workbook "Legal, Policy and Governance Aspects."
