This case study differs somewhat from other cases examined in this series of reports, in that it involves both private sector and not-for-profit organisations as joint project proponents.
At the time of our research the project had not formally commenced operation, though preliminary activities surrounding project development and community consultation had been undertaken. During these preparatory phases of the project, several prospective impacts of the project on social and human rights received particular attention. one important issue related to implications for community livelihoods of proceeding with the REDD+ project, versus endorsing a range of alternative scenarios for the zoning and licensing of land in the designated project area. Another cluster of issues related to the proposed terms of the REDD+ project, such as community access to land, and sharing of prospective REDD+ revenues.
Our analysis of grievance handling mechanisms in this case encompasses not only those mechanisms that communities can use to seek redress for perceived ‘wrongs’ associated with the project, but also broader mechanisms of voice through which communities can express preferences or concerns regarding actual or expected project impacts. our analysis therefore encompasses consultation and project governance arrangements, as well as special purpose grievance mechanisms.

The phenomena explain the new entry point to understand the relationship between social media, popular culture, and the articulation of Islamic identity and piousness among urban youth in Indonesia. Taking case on the emerging popularreligious movement of #IndonesiatanpaJIL, that were arise from social media sites (Twitter, Facebook, and Youtube), this article examined how this movement was creatively playing Islamic discourse and the notions of nationalism/citizenship through urban pop culture materiality and commercialized public spaces. This appropriation had been influential to propagate their religious ideology and piety and by doing so showing their effective modality and mode of circulation.

By taking narratives of inter-class contestation between aristocrats (paren) and commoners (panyin) and ritual changes among the Kayan-Kenyah in upland Central Borneo during periods of religious conversion, this paper shows the significance of social hierarchy on people's decisions to change or retain their religious practices.

During the Green Revolution we have been the buyers and planters of government seeds. Now, we want to be plant breeders, producing our own ideal seeds, these statements are voiced by a group of ...
