AFRA commissioned a research report to present and promote the positive potential of options available for stakeholders in resolving the issues currently impacting on Dukuduku Forest. Stakeholders are defined both as residents within the Forest and as key parties having a commitment to resolving the issues. This report is an executive summary of the full research report for key stakeholders.
The report outlines key issues affecting relationships between stakeholders; details the current status quo as reflected in reports and interviews with parties; and presents advocacy options, scenarios and recommendations for mechanisms to resolve the current impasse so as to reach an accommodation of the interests and objectives of these key stakeholders. It is intended that the report present a ‘middle ground’ of options to facilitate discussions between the stakeholders so that a positive framework for negotiations on future options can be achieved, noting and being sensitive to the historical developments which have informed the current impasses and resulted in tensions and strained relationships between parties.
This executive summary presents a overview of these issues and identifies three options which could be considered by stakeholders in negotiations about the future of Dukuduku Forest and its residents. It includes a copy of the Index and list of Annexures to the research report. A copy of the research report is available from the Association for Rural Advancement on request.
