? Strengthen institutions and Community Commitment
Regular meetings that will be held during program implementation are designed from the start to build community commitment to program sustainability. Through these regular meetings, a program committee will be formed which will work to strengthen the institutions of the Social Forestry Business Group.
? Develop a Sustainable Business Model
Strengthening community capacity in managing coffee agroforestry plantations through to post-harvest processing is strong capital for developing a Sustainable Business Model. The community-based business model with coffee as a crop with high economic value while supporting conservation is a way to continue activities even though program support from GEF-SGP ends.
? Collaboration and Partnership
Being part of the GEF-SGP program will certainly pave the way for local communities to develop wider networks. At the same time, strengthening community capacity in implementing sustainable forest and land management will be an attraction for local governments, universities and other related parties to support program activities and expand resource networks.
