Peatland ecosystems in Indonesia, particularly those within oil palm plantation regions, face acute environmental degradation due to unsustainable land use, poor water management, and recurrent fires. This has sparked global and national interest in promoting sustainable peatland management through inclusive, collaborative governance. This study aims to examine how multi-stakeholder governance mechanisms influence ecological, institutional, and socio-economic outcomes in peatland areas affected by oil palm cultivation. Employing a qualitative research design, this study adopts a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method, guided by the PRISMA protocol. Data were collected exclusively from secondary sources, comprising 29 peer-reviewed journal articles published between 2020 and 2025, sourced from the ScienceDirect database. The search strategy applied focused on Boolean operators and thematic filters to ensure relevance, while inclusion criteria were based on open-access status, article type, and publication period. Data analysis was conducted using thematic synthesis to identify core patterns and governance strategies. The results reveal that multi-stakeholder approaches lead to improved ecological outcomes, including hydrological restoration, reduced fire incidents, and lower greenhouse gas emissions. Institutionally, they foster better coordination, procedural legitimacy, and adaptive capacity. Socio-economically, such frameworks enhance tenure security and diversified livelihoods, although challenges related to power asymmetries and limited community capacity persist. This study concludes that multi-stakeholder governance has significant potential to support sustainable peatland management in oil palm regions. Future research should examine the long-term impacts, power dynamics, and integration of indigenous knowledge systems into peatland policy frameworks.
