The project aims to strengthen and expand grassroots women's movements to promote gender equality and equity across all aspects of life. It will directly engage over 3,000 women in ten provinces in Indonesia: Aceh, South Sumatra, Lampung, Yogyakarta, West Nusa Tenggara, East Nusa Tenggara, Central Kalimantan, South Sulawesi, Central Sulawesi, and Southeast Sulawesi. Additionally, the project will reach more than 20,000 individuals from both state and non-state actors to support women's political agendas for gender justice.

This initiative will serve as a bridge for grassroots women to collaborate with larger women's organizations and movements at local, national, regional, and international levels. It will also connect with individuals, influencers, media, and youth groups to amplify women's voices and agendas, driving changes in socio-economic, political, and cultural policies and practices.

This project aims to enhance the climate resilience of cocoa producers and their vulnerable families, particularly indigenous ones, in Amazonas, Cajamarca and San Martín. It seeks to promote climate-smart, nature-based solutions (NBS) for small cacao farmers and their families to improve productivity and counter deforestation. The project also strengthens associations and cooperatives to improve governance, business performance, and connections to niche markets. The project focuses on women’s empowerment throughout its implementation to enable greater participation and influence in their families, associations, cooperatives, and the cacao agricultural sector in general.

Project activities include: (1) supporting research on cacao NBS; (2) providing technical training on cacao NBS and technical support for cocoa farmers; (3) helping associations or cooperatives and their members set up and implement diversified cacao agroforestry plots and prepare for ‘zero deforestation’ certification standards; (4) delivering an inclusive organizational strengthening program for participating associations or cooperatives; (5) developing gender-sensitive and climate change-resilient business plans and strategies; (6) setting up transformative women leadership schools within participating associations or cooperatives; and (7) facilitating market access by linking innovative financing mechanisms and connections with potential buyers.

The project directly benefits 30,000 people, consisting of over 6,000 small cacao farmers (70% women) and their families, in the Amazonas, Cajamarca and San Martin provinces, with at least 50% being from indigenous groups. It also indirectly benefits 460,000 people who live off the incomes generated by cocoa plants and derived products by improving governance in the sector and strengthening associations or cooperatives.

This project is part of Canada’s Renewed Women’s Voice and Leadership (WVL) Program. It supports local and regional women’s rights organizations (WROs), lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer and intersex plus (LBTQI+) groups and feminist networks working to promote the rights of women and girls and advance gender equality in Global South countries.

Project activities include: 1) Developing a membership engagement strategy; 2) Providing online training to increase knowledge of the funding landscape; 3) Organizing in-person convenings to be co-developed with participants; and 4) Conducting an annual flagship event during the Commission on the Status of Women meetings featuring WROs and donors in dialogue together.
