Implementing Partners
The proposed project will be implemented in the Southeast Asia region, potentially in Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Timor-Leste, and the Philippines. These countries are highly vulnerable to climatic variations and changes.
The industry-led project — which includes farmers, agribusinesses, supply chain participants, farmer organizations, and the farming community — will focus on perennial plantation and small-scale agroforestry, systems, which are highly vulnerable to climate variations and have limited options for adaptation. Importantly, increased involvement from industry stakeholders through co-innovation processes will empower these stakeholders to take ownership in developing more tailored, market-driven adaptation and risk transfer solutions.
Importantly, the project will assist governments in implementing NAPs, particularly emphasizing the need for both community-led and government-led adaptation programs. This is especially relevant for the perennial plantation and small-scale forestry sectors, which often receive insufficient government attention.
The project will focus on the perennial plantation systems and small-scale agroforestry systems. The perennial production systems include:
