So far, the HuMa conflict database or known as HuMawin has been intensively used by the Center for Education and Training of the Ministry of Forestry in the education and training of tenurial conflict mapping. HuMawin, which is based on the documentation system of human rights violations, Huridocs, functions as a tool to facilitate forestry ministry staff in documenting conflict data. Through the training conducted together with WG-Tenure, they have reached the ninth batch.

WG-Tenure, an abbreviation of Working Group on Forest Land Tenure, is a working organization involving multiple stakeholders, including the Ministry of Forestry, the National Land Agency (BPN), the Ministry of Home Affairs, the People’s Representative Council (DPR), Non-Governmental Organizations (HuMa, FKKM, KPA, WATALA), Community Organizations (AMAN, SPP Garut, Waremtahu), Universities (IPB, Unibraw), Research Institutions (ICRAF), and business actors (APHI, Perhutani, Inhutani I and II).

The latest training on tenurial conflict mapping was conducted in Putussibau, West Kalimantan, involving various parties such as Coalition of Forest Restoration (KPH) staff, Village Chiefs, Indigenous Leaders, and representatives of several NGOs. (The training video can be viewed here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YGgrZZDRIPM).

The training materials include the documentation system of conflict data using the Humawin application (developed by HuMa), RaTA (Rapid Land Tenure Assessment – developed by ICRAF), AGATA (Conflict Styles Analysis – developed by Samdhana Institute), as well as Social Analysis and Gender Analysis (developed by WGT and SAINS).

All these materials are divided into two sessions, the first session being a three-day classroom session. The Pusdiklat education participants are introduced to conflict analysis theories. Then, on the fourth day, there is a field session where participants visit a village to observe the actual conditions. On the last day, there is an input and evaluation session where participants discuss and evaluate the field practice results with speakers and facilitators. The input process into HuMawin is also done on the last day of training.

This training is the implementation of the curriculum and syllabus used by the Center for Education and Training (Pusdiklat) of the Ministry of Forestry as stipulated in Decree No. 35/Dik-2/2014 Regarding the Curriculum and Syllabus of Conflict Mapping Training (View the decree here SK Kursil). In the future, the joint training with Pusdiklat Kemenhut will enter its tenth batch, which is planned to be held at Hotel New Ayuda, Bogor on August 25-30, 2014.***
