Abstract

Several international non-governmental organizations (INGOs) function as boundary organizations and try to promote ecosystem-based adaptation (EbA) as a pivotal climate change adaptation strategy for coastal areas. This is being done in Vietnam. Few studies, however, have investigated how these INGOs operate, what challenges they face, and what conditions support them to successfully promote the implementation of EbA. To address this knowledge gap, the literature on international boundary work and boundary organizations was first reviewed, deriving four categories of conditions for a successful promotion of EbA: knowledge, networks, resources, and context. Next, we applied this framework in a case study of the International Union for Conservation (IUCN) and the Foundation of Netherlands Volunteers (SNV) led EbA project on the restoration and sustainable use of mangroves in two provinces, Ca Mau and Ben Tre, which are located in the Vietnamese Mekong Delta. We interviewed 25 key informants representing INGOs, Vietnamese governmental agencies, farmers, scientists, and market parties. Our case study not only revealed how most literature-based success conditions were met but also found some additional conditions. We found that INGOs will have a greater chance of successfully promoting the implementation of the EbA in cases in which they can act as a knowledge broker, have a strong international network, can supply enough resources, and use context-specific strategies. A supportive context appeared to be essential.

The post Enhancing the role of International NGOs in promoting the implementation of ecosystem-based adaptation policies: insights from an International Union for Conservation and Foundation of Netherlands Volunteers led project in the Vietnamese Mekong Delta first appeared on Ecology & Society.

加强国际非政府组织在促进实施基于生态系统的适应政策方面的作用:国际自然保护联盟和荷兰志愿者基金会在越南湄公河三角洲牵头开展的一个项目的启示
一些国际非政府组织(INGOs)作为边界组织,努力促进基于生态系统的适应(EbA),将其作为沿海地区适应气候变化的关键战略。越南正在这样做。然而,很少有研究对这些国际非政府组织如何运作、面临哪些挑战以及支持它们成功促进实施 EbA 的条件进行调查。为了填补这一知识空白,我们首先对有关国际边界工作和边界组织的文献进行了回顾,得出了成功促进环境生物多样性评估的四类条件:知识、网络、资源和环境。接下来,我们将这一框架应用于对国际自然保护联盟(IUCN)和荷兰志愿者基金会(SNV)领导的 EbA 项目的案例研究,该项目旨在恢复和可持续利用位于越南湄公河三角洲的金瓯省和槟椥省的红树林。我们采访了代表国际非政府组织、越南政府机构、农民、科学家和市场方的 25 位关键信息提供者。我们的案例研究不仅揭示了大多数基于文献的成功条件是如何得到满足的,而且还发现了一些额外的条件。我们发现,如果国际非政府组织能够充当知识中介,拥有强大的国际网络,能够提供足够的资源,并采用针对具体情况的策略,那么它们将有更大的机会成功推动环境友好型农业的实施。加强国际非政府组织在促进实施基于生态系统的适应政策中的作用:国际自然保护联盟和荷兰志愿者基金会在越南湄公河三角洲领导的项目的启示》一文首次出现在《生态与社会》上。

期刊介绍: Ecology and Society is an electronic, peer-reviewed, multi-disciplinary journal devoted to the rapid dissemination of current research. Manuscript submission, peer review, and publication are all handled on the Internet. Software developed for the journal automates all clerical steps during peer review, facilitates a double-blind peer review process, and allows authors and editors to follow the progress of peer review on the Internet. As articles are accepted, they are published in an "Issue in Progress." At four month intervals the Issue-in-Progress is declared a New Issue, and subscribers receive the Table of Contents of the issue via email. Our turn-around time (submission to publication) averages around 350 days. We encourage publication of special features. Special features are comprised of a set of manuscripts that address a single theme, and include an introductory and summary manuscript. The individual contributions are published in regular issues, and the special feature manuscripts are linked through a table of contents and announced on the journal''s main page. The journal seeks papers that are novel, integrative and written in a way that is accessible to a wide audience that includes an array of disciplines from the natural sciences, social sciences, and the humanities concerned with the relationship between society and the life-supporting ecosystems on which human wellbeing ultimately depends.
