CONSULTANT BASELINE INCLUSION PROJECT

Wahana Visi Indonesia’s ‘Increasing the Leverage of Inclusive Markets Across Indonesia (INCLUSION)’ project supported by the Australian Government through the Australian NGO Cooperation Program (ANCP) aims to increase the economic empowerment of smallholder farmers and vulnerable households in Eastern Indonesia through inclusive market systems development (iMSD) which enables the poor, women, and people with disability to gain benefits from an inclusive market system. It will target East Nusa Tenggara, Central Sulawesi and North Maluku provinces. The project will focus on facilitating changes in market systems to make them more inclusive to poor farmers, recognising the different ways that men and women experience the market system.
Building on the lessons learnt encountered in the ‘More Income Generated for Poor Families in Indonesia (MORINGA)’ project supported by ANCP from 2017-2022, INCLUSION will address the gender gap issue through the implementation of Women’s Economic Empowerment (WEE). The project will contribute to addressing three of the WEE domains: economic advancement, access and agency while addressing attitudes towards social and gender norms by working in two pathways, market system level and household level.
Further, the project will encourage equitable systems, including working with faith and community leaders to enable these groups to participate and benefit from more inclusive markets. By developing solutions through commercially viable business models, benefits promoted by the project can be sustained beyond the project and expand to reach more poor and vulnerable farmers. INCLUSION will maintain its interventions that have had positive environmental impact such as biofertilizer and drip irrigation to contribute to green growth. It will promote environmental protection through its business models to incentivize the private sectors to take part in the implementation. The project will also promote the use of organic fertilisers in the new targeted areas. This organic fertiliser can be applied to various kinds of plants, both short-lived (vegetables or annual crops) and long-lived (trees), to contribute to the green growth economy.
