Knowledge
Sharing Workshop .
After
two years of search, research and support in West Aceh and
surrounding regions, World Agroforestry Centre – ICRAF Indonesia
and partners have gathered ample information and knowledge on the
recovery process, impact of tsunami on local livelihoods, natural
resources including fishing, soils and tree crops, and potential
opportunities for rapid development in the region. ICRAF and
partners (Indonesian Research Institute for Estate Crops (LRPI),
Indonesian Soil Research Institute (ISRI), World Fish Centre, and
Indonesian Research Institute for Animal Production) organized a
one-day meeting in Meulaboh on 30 November to share some research
results, progress, and observations in post-Tsunami Aceh related to
livelihood recovery and NRM issues.
.
Meeting
objectives were:
Report
two years of ICRAF and partner activities in the post-Tsunami recovery
in Aceh.
Share
relevant research results and acquired knowledge related to
post-Tsunami recovery and livelihood aspects with HARMONICA members
and other concerned agencies.
Gather
feedback for the direction of future activities.
Develop
and discuss ideas to incorporate new information and knowledge in
on-going and new development initiatives in Aceh Barat and the
surrounding districts.
In
the workshop, ICRAF and partners presented 16 topics of research bulletin
that were synthesized into four topics as the following:
