The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH is an international cooperation enterprise for sustainable development with worldwide operations on behalf of the German Government. The global program "Sustainability and Value Added in Agricultural Supply Chains" is part of the special initiative "Transformation of Agricultural and Food Systems". On behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), the programs promote sustainability of selected agricultural supply chains in partner countries.
The project "Sustainability and Value Added in Agricultural Supply Chains in Indonesia" (SASCI+) addresses these challenges in the natural rubber, palm oil, cocoa, and coffee supply chains in selected provinces and districts of Indonesia. SASCI+ follows a jurisdictional approach to align relevant stakeholders on shared objectives for sustainable production as a means for long-term market access and security of supply.
With additional resources from the Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO) through the Sustainable Landscape Program Indonesia (SLPI), SASCI+ supports the Sustainable Landscape Initiative in Kutai Timur, East Kalimantan (Sustain Kutim). Building on sustainability progress made in East Kutai District, Sustain Kutim aims to facilitate the sustainability transformation of palm oil and rubber production in the district. GIZ's contribution to Sustain Kutim is planned for three years and comprises the following outputs:
• Foundational elements: Kutai Timur District Government manages a functioning multi-stakeholder platform, representing the interests of local communities, smallholders, workers, and businesses, financiers, and civil society organizations active in the supply chains of palm oil and natural rubber.
• Tenurial and operational legalities: The strengthened tenurial and operational legalities of local communities and smallholders improve business certainty for primary producers and incentivize sustainable land use in the priority sub-districts.
• Sustainable production: Smallholders and companies in the priority sub-districts implement sustainable practices.
