Abstract
The Social Forestry program in Perhutani-managed forest areas aims to improve the welfare of the community through joint
management and promote sustainability. The program uses the Partnership Cooperation (Kulin KK) scheme, which is regulated by the
Minister of Environment and Forestry Regulation No. P 83 of 2016. However, this program has become a new conflict zone as various
actors are competing to dominate forest use. Women, who have allocated more time and energy to the agricultural sector, now have
few opportunities to be involved in forest management because of gender biases within the governance and implementation of the
Social Forestry program. Women also have to compete with various parties in order to participate in forest management including
Perhutani and the Forest Village Community Institution (Lembaga Masyarakat Desa Hutan—LMDH), the party authorised to manage
forest utilization programs.
