The research team on Environmental Governance and Global Development at the Wyss Academy for Nature, in collaboration with the WA's Southeast Asia Hub, led a study on the stakeholders involved in the management to the Nam Tien Provincial Protection Forest (NTPPF) in the Sayaboury province in Laos.

The study provides a baseline understanding of the relationships between stakeholders in the NTPPF network and identify potential entry points for governance interventions to improve stakeholder engagement and project outcomes. The findings suggest that some provincial and district government agencies are central to the NTPPF network. Future interventions should consider the structure and power dynamics of the NTPPF network in order to better achieve their goals.
