This study attempts to identify factors that motivate community for adopting sustainable land and forest management. Data collection was conducted in 2015-2016 at Indonesia, Peru and Uganda by interviewing 2550 household using a structured questionnaire. The study found that majority of tenure reform members adopted sustainable land management technologies in Indonesia and Peru. In Uganda, most non-members of tenure reform adopted sustainable land management technologies as compared to members. The perceptions of tenure security tend to motivate individuals to invest in sustainable land management practices as they are likely to reap the benefits if their investments. On such lands, community use and management is conditioned on the adoption and maintenance of sustainable land management practices. These results suggest that forest tenure reforms implemented in Indonesia, Peru and Uganda have had a positive outcome, regardless of whether rights granted were control and ownership or merely management rights/responsibilities.
