“…Jokowi's actions weakened this commission in fighting against corruption which contradict his promise during the campaign period. These events show how the President tends to take cinderella's actions during the inter-election period (Wiegant et al, 2022).…”

It also provides the need to be performed in the future to ensure that the President does not abuse this power. The matter raises a series of problems regarding the government's authority during the election transition period. This research will provide comparative studies with Ghana, Liberia, and the United States to understand the President's power in the Indonesian constitutional system. This research was conducted using doctrinal research methods, or normative legal research. In reviewing a legal issue, a doctrinal research method analyzes positive law, related cases, and other relevant references. The results showed that the President's power during the election transition period needs to be regulated in the constitution. Furthermore, the arrangement has to be enforced technically in the form of a presidential transition law.</p></td></tr></tbody></table></div>

“…We aimed to understand the extent of collaborative monitoring in FLR projects across Latin America because misalignments between governance levels in FLR programs and projects, as well as weak institutional infrastructure, often hamper information flows across scales (Aguiar et al 2021; Schweizer et al 2021 a ; Wiegant et al 2022). We present preliminary evidence of emerging efforts to align local FLR programs and projects with national forest monitoring and reporting in a cross‐scale approach as recommended by Zamora‐Cristales et al (2020) and Ramírez and Morales (2021).…”

Despite growing global attention on forest landscape restoration (FLR) as an integrated approach to enhancing environmental and human well‐being, the potential for leveraging monitoring to catalyze learning and improve management outcomes is not being fully realized. We assessed the extent to which collaborative monitoring, a process that embraces cross‐scale multilevel actors and interactions in the collection and use of information, is considered across FLR projects in Latin America by applying a diagnostic of 54 “success factors” scored from 1 (factor not in place) to 5 (factor fully in place). Responses were collected from 36 projects across 12 countries. Although respondents generally understood monitoring as crucial to FLR success, local participation scored as insufficient. Several of the lowest‐ranked success factors related to training for local people in the use of tools, forms, and technology for data collection, and to interpreting data to promote understanding of management outcomes. The most notable finding related to the paucity of networks or entities to leverage information into knowledge‐sharing and learning opportunities from the top‐down and the bottom‐up. Our results provide a preliminary indication of how to promote collaborative monitoring approaches in the context of FLR projects in Latin America. First, it requires enhanced integration among academics, local communities and governmental and nongovernmental organizations. Second, it requires a minimum level of harmonization with current policy and normative forest conservation and restoration instruments. Finally, it needs bridging organizations or individuals to share results and learning as well as dedicated resources for information infrastructures to facilitate knowledge sharing.

“…A thorough understanding of crosslevel and cross-scale interdependencies can make actors go beyond confusion and overestimation by helping them identify governance arrangements that work best in specific landscape contexts and at different phases of the restoration process. Understanding and addressing cross-level and cross-scale interdependencies will also require developing human capacities to detect cross-scale and cross-level bottlenecks that constrain the effectiveness of restoration efforts (Termeer & Dewulf 2014;Mansourian et al 2022;Wiegant et al 2022a). To this end, multidimensional training of restoration professionals is warranted to enable actors at different levels of governance to bring high-level objectives, technical knowledge, sensitivity to local conditions, and diverse objectives together (Meli et al 2019;Stanturf et al 2019).…”

A governance perspective that connects actors at multiple levels in forest restoration is largely missing and much needed to expedite the translation of national restoration targets into long‐lasting outcomes. An explicit focus on the interactions across governance levels, and how these influence ecological processes at different spatial levels, can overcome the general tendency to focus on forest restoration either from the top‐down or bottom‐up and help improve the quality of forest restoration.
