This toolkit was designed as an evidence-based guide to support actors in forming partnerships that are context-specific, genuinely inclusive, and capable of expanding their impact over time. It is based on a review of the literature and research with multi-stakeholder partnerships involving government agencies and CSOs in the global south, as well as practices and tools of both CIFOR/ICRAF and ILC. The purpose is to provide a comprehensive framework for designing, implementing, and evaluating effective partnerships in land governance.

FTA in a Nutshell. Cracking issues, spreading solutions
The CGIAR Research Program on Forests, Trees and Agroforestry (FTA), created in 2011, is the world’s largest research for development program focused on the role of forests, trees and agroforestry for sustainable development, food security and climate action. At the heart of the program is the vision that forests, trees and agroforestry, when adequately used, managed and governed, in an evidence-based and inclusive way, can play a central role in sustainable development by improving production systems, ensuring food security and nutrition, enhancing people’s livelihoods and addressing climate change.
Partnerships for scaling Gender and Nutrition Sensitive Climate-Smart Agriculture: Science for Impact 2015-2021
P4S is a cross-institution program led by World Agroforestry (ICRAF) and the International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT) in collaboration with other CGIAR centers, development, government and private sector partners. P4S supports scaling up and out of CSA by working in close collaboration with partners to generate credible, relevant and legitimate evidence.
A decade of science for climate change adaptation and mitigation
This working paper synthesizes findings and reflections from an analysis of 300 CCAFS outcomes reported by project and program leaders between 2011 and 2020. The analysis, organized in the form of an outcome harvest, was aimed to distil typologies of outcomes achieved across geographies and groups of beneficiaries; the contributions of outcomes to program and institutional targets and sustainable development goals (SDGs) and targets; as well as key impact pathways derived from the activities, outputs and outcomes reported by CCAFS teams in relation to interventions targeting policy/investment and services/farm. The study also reveals examples of outcomes that progressed from one maturity level to the next, that expanded the scope of work, scaled to new geographies, or marked an increase in the number of innovations developed over the years, indicating a diversity of forms in which CCAFS outcome-oriented work has evolved towards increased impact.
The structure and pattern of global partnerships in the REDD+ mechanism
Projects for reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD+) have been initiated in developing countries, featuring partnerships with multiple actors under the global forest and climate change regime. Even though partnerships between stakeholders are crucial for ensuring successful project deliveries, there is a lack of knowledge about sectoral partnerships within and between stakeholders in REDD+ projects. This study aims to measure the structures and patterns of REDD+ project partnerships using an original, multi-stage social network theory approach with global- and regional-level centralization analyses using three major regions (Asia, Africa and South America), and configurations using exponential random graph modeling (ERGM). Using data on 480 REDD+ projects implemented in 57 countries, results show concentrated polycentric networks across several dominant actors, including USA-, Brazil- and China-based organizations. Statistical network modeling indicates that, overall, partnerships are less likely to be created between different organization categories (across-type bridging), but tend more towards cooperation with the same types (within-type bridging). Research institutes, however, produce distinctly different patterns, forming across-type partnerships with highly technical capacities. Comparisons of stakeholders at different stages of the REDD+ mechanism help in understanding the complete picture of REDD+ architecture. This study contributes by offering insights for designing future partnerships within REDD+ projects and suggests ways to improve multi-level collaboration and cooperation.
Turning the Tide on Deforestation: Flagship initiatives of the Collaborative Partnership on Forests
This brochure presents flagship initiatives and programmes designed by members of the Collaborative Partnership on Forests to contribute to the common goal formulated by UN Secretary-General António Guterres of “turning the tide on deforestation”. The brochure reaffirms the call for action by leaders to accelerate efforts at UNFCCC COP26 to halt deforestation.
The Sustainability of Independent Palm Oil Smallholders in Multi-Tier Supply Chains in East Kalimantan Indonesia
The smallholder oil palm farmers (SHFs) manage almost half of the Indonesian oil palm area, often associated with unsustainable oil palm sources. There has been limited research conducted to assess SHFs status in Indonesia. This study analyzed sustainability of existing Multi-tier Supply Chain Management through Rapfish diagnostic application with Multi-Dimensional Scaling (MDS) in oil palm mills, suppliers, and SHFs. This study found triadic typologies of MSCs in the Kutai Kartanegara District and six sustainability dimensions including economic, social, ecology, political, and institution to improve the regional strategy for sustainable palm oil plantations in the East Kalimantan Province. The closed triadic relationship in Gunung Sari and Pulau Pinang Villages has better performances on four sustainability dimensions compare to other villages. The oil palm mills could connect directly with SHFs and reduce asymmetric information and rent-seeking behavior through the traceable land ID system and enabling the Public-Private Partnership program.
Les impacts de l’APV-FLEGT: Synthèse des resultats dans sept pays
La présente étude constitue une synthèse des données qualitatives et quantitatives des impacts de l’accord de partenariat volontaire (APV) UE-FLEGT dans sept pays : le Cameroun, le Ghana, l’Indonésie, la République du Congo, la Côte d’Ivoire, le Guyana et le Honduras. Ces pays se situent à différents stades du processus APV, entre négociation, mise en oeuvre et obtention des licences FLEGT (Application des réglementations forestières, gouvernance et échanges commerciaux). L’examen de pays situés à ces différents stades offre la possibilité de tirer des enseignements à l’échelle globale dans diverses géographies et à différents moments.
Collecting evidence of FLEGT-VPA impacts: Global synthesis report
This study synthesizes qualitative and quantitative evidence of EU-FLEGT Voluntary Partnership Agreement (VPA) impacts across seven countries – Cameroon, Ghana, Indonesia, Republic of Congo, Côte d’Ivoire, Guyana and Honduras. These countries are at different stages of the VPA process – from negotiation to implementation to issuance of Forest Law Enforcement, Governance and Trade (FLEGT) licences. By studying countries at different stages, findings allow for global lessons to be learned across different geographies and time.
