Dayak Farmers: Land Guardians and Entrepreneurs of Indonesia Central Kalimantan
“Dayak Farmers: Land Guardianas and Entrepreneurs of Indonesia Central Kalimantan” is a EuropeAid project realized through the cooperation of three organizations, including Weltweit. At the heart of the action is the strengthening of civil society in Central Kalimantan, Borneo as an independent actor of good governance. In a region where external economic forces—such as palm oil plantation expansion, illegal mining and the potential implementation of carbon credit schemes over the forest by outside actors—continue to erode traditional livelihoods and ecological resilience, we aim to enhance the capacities of Community-Based Organisations (CBOs) across at least 25 villages, including 10 Dayak Indigenous communities and 15 farmer groups. This will be realized by equipping these grassroots organisations with the tools and knowledge to advocate for land rights, engage in participatory governance, and pursue sustainable livelihoods.
Integration of local farm production with school fed program
This project aims to enhance the nutritional quality of mid-day meals for students by replacing junk food with locally produced organic farm products. Additionally, it seeks to transform schools into community learning centers, providing educational resources and fostering community engagement. By securing a stable market for the organic produce of local farmers, the project will generate sustainable income for these farmers. Furthermore, it will promote the use of electric cooking methods to reduce reliance on biomass and LPG, contributing to a more sustainable and eco-friendly environment.
