A good policy takes side on the society, which in its formulation society needs to be involved, starting from planning and designing policies, substantial, and implementation stages. In addition, society role in guarding and reviewing a policy needs to be discussed in the form of forums or consultation among stakeholders.
In developing policies, local governments often lack capacity on formulating and implementing policies to resolve forest and land use effectively. Also, society is rarely involved in the policy making process, thus the forum discussion, collaboration, and information exchange are needed to achieve equitable policies.
