Nutrition Action Plan The SWITCH Asia Local Harvest
Duration : 2 months (maximum 12 days)

Background
The SWITCH Asia Local Harvest project: Promoting sustainable and equitable consumption and local food systems in Indonesia is supported by the European Union and implemented by Hivos and its partners: AMAN (Aliansi Masyarakat Adat Nusantara), ASPPUK (Asosiasi Pendamping Perempuan Usaha Kecil), NTFP-EP (Non Timber Forest Product-Exchange Program) Indonesia and Yayasan WWF Indonesia. The project is implemented in 8 provinces (14 districts) and 5 cities in Indonesia over a period of four (4) years commencing March 1, 2018.
The specific objective of the project is to stimulate a significant shift in consumption patterns towards sustainable and ethically sourced food products in Indonesia through increased knowledge and awareness of consumers about the impacts of their food choices; increased capacities of food MSMEs and producers - including women and indigenous people - to penetrate markets; and a favourable policy environment for uptake of Sustainable Consumption and Production (SCP) practices in the food sector. As part of the project implementation, multi stakeholder platforms on food system will be established in five cities – Jakarta (national level), Bandung, Makassar, Medan and Yogyakarta. The local multi-stakeholder platform will include, but not limited to, government representatives, producer representative, SMEs and retailers, academics, CSOs and consumer representatives, who will share experiences and discuss potential synergy in promoting sustainable consumption and production in the food system.
