The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Indonesia is implementing the FOLUR Indonesia Project to promote sustainable food systems, land use, and landscape restoration. The project is funded by the Global Environment Facility and implemented by UNDP and FAO in collaboration with the Coordinating Ministry for Food Affairs. Its work focuses on sustainable production, integrated landscape management, restoration, improved governance, and inclusive economic development. Through initiatives such as the FOLUR Indonesia Low Value Grant, UNDP supports partnerships that strengthen sustainable commodity value chains, improve livelihoods, expand market access, and generate environmental and biodiversity benefits in targeted Indonesian landscapes.
About the Grant
The FOLUR Indonesia Low Value Grant supports public-private and public-private-community partnerships working to strengthen sustainable coffee and palm oil value chains in Central Aceh and Mandailing Natal. The grant aims to improve smallholder livelihoods, market access, sustainable finance, environmental conservation, and biodiversity protection. Priority is given to climate-smart and regenerative agriculture, traceability, digital solutions, community-based restoration, certification, and innovative business models. These Indonesia grants encourage practical partnerships that combine economic development with environmental sustainability and social inclusion, particularly through meaningful opportunities for women and youth in sustainable commodity development.
