Forest Utilization Permit Implementation/Izin Pemanfaatan Hutan Perhutanan Sosial (IPHPS) is a scheme which aims to improve community welfare by granting land management access in the Perum Perhutani work area. However, this has not been achieved in the implementation of IPHPS byWono Lestari and Wono Lestari II Forest Farmer Groups/Kelompok Tani Hutan (KTH), Boyolali Regency, Central Java since its establishment in 2017 until 2019. One of the important principles in realizing IPHPS is to facilitate farmers with assistance which can oversee the development of KTH in sustainable forest management. However, the assistance which carried out by Lembaga Wana Abadi (LWA) for KTH Wono Lestari and Wono Lestari II have not been properly identified. Due to this gap, it is necessary to formulate assistance strategies in the implementation of IPHPS by KTH Wono Lestari and Wono Lestari II. This research aims to 1) identifying of IPHPS assistance activities; 2) analyzing of stakeholder management strategies in IPHPS assistance activities; 3) designing alternative strategies in IPHPS assistance activities. Data were collected by means of observation, semi-structured interview and document study by purposive sampling of 35 respondents.
