The SESAM project is a large interdisciplinary research project of Wageningen University with two postdocs and 15 PhDs from seven different countries (Indonesia, Kenya, Uganda, Suriname, Ecuador, Peru, and Brazil). The project aim is to analyse and improve decision-making processes related to water and (agro)forest landscape management. To achieve this, the project develops and implements serious games, so-called ‘Scenario Evaluation Games’, which are tools to analyse, support and enhance social learning, decision-making, and action. The Scenario Evaluation Games are developed and played with people and organisations who are involved in complex decision-making processes around the forest-water-people nexus. The process of developing and playing the games will help the researchers to understand how complex landscape management decisions are made. In addition, the games should help to give local stakeholders a stronger voice, and to create better and more sustainable landscape management policies.
