Project Description
The project aims to secure sustainable livelihoods for Sulawesi's smallholder farmers including women through forestry and agroforestry. It is designed to support the planting management and marketing of more diverse and environmentally suitable tree crops. The project addresses sustainable economic growth by investing in people growing businesses and building economic foundations. Its integrated landscape approach promotes sustainable agricultural and natural resources management by: (1) enhancing people’s technical capacities (2) growing business and livelihood opportunities through the establishment of agroforestry-based enterprises and (3) building economic foundations through the identification of market opportunities and linkages. The project aims to work on these issues at the village district and provincial levels to enhance equitable resource access use and good environmental governance with local multi-stakeholder engagement and ownership.
