Abstract
This Chapter is based on participatory research we conducted in collaboration with the Government of Indonesia. The participatory modelling process aimed for facilitating a learning experience that involved three tiers of governance. The participatory process included the co-design of the research proposal by stakeholders who were actively involved in its implementation process by carrying out many research tasks. This was enabled by substantial capacity building activities, for instance in agent-based modelling. Following the categories of participation suggested by Barreteau et al. (2010) our process falls into the sixth category of participatory research processes, co-building and control over model use.
