are the receiving mechanisms; thus, asset reform programs also often support
the formation and strengthening of people’s organizations (POs).
Resource governance and resource management system. Asset reform can shift
power relations between people, communities and institutions, especially in the
governance and management of land and resources. According to FAO (2007),
land/resource governance refers to “the rules, processes and structures through
which decisions are made about access to land and its use, the manner in which
the decisions are implemented and enforced, and the way that competing
interests in land are managed.” As such, resource governance involves three key
factors: (1) a set of rules, processes and structures that define the ways by which
property rights are defined, exchanged and transformed; (2) public oversight
over resource use, management and enforcement; and, (3) systems of dispute
resolution and conflict management.
Thus, one important factor included in asset reforms is the effective
representation and participation of “beneficiaries” in decision-making bodies
and processes. These may include representation in specific bodies – e.g., the
Fisheries and Aquatic Resources Management Councils (FARMCs) created
under the PFC. These may also include participation in the formulation of local
plans – e.g., Comprehensive Land Use Plans of municipal governments, or the
formulation of Ancestral Domain Sustainable Development and Protection
Plans (ADSDPPs) by indigenous peoples.
