Land4Life aims to increase economic and climate resilience livelihoods and food security for poor and vulnerable groups, particularly women and girls, in Indonesia. Project activities include: (1) enhancing capacities of local Government to develop spatial planning policies; (2) improving watershed functions and water management in six landscapes, developing provincial restoration policies and programs, and monitoring adherence to land-use plans; (3) enhancing farmers’ capacities to increase productivity, avoid deforestation, be more resilient to climate shocks, as well as facilitating their access to finance and markets by engaging private sector partners. The primary target beneficiaries are rural communities, women’s groups, farmer groups, small-to-medium-sized enterprises and land managers

The expected outcomes of this project include: (1) strengthened land-use governance and policy-making for climate change mitigation and adaptation that benefit the poor and vulnerable populations in selected provinces in Indonesia. Also reduced emission from Land Use, Land Use Change and Forestry (LULUCF); (2) improved landscape-level management by land managers and land users for better ecosystem health and services that meet different needs of women and men in priority landscapes within the selected provinces; and (3) enhanced climate-resilient livelihoods and food security for poor and vulnerable communities, particularly women.

Results achieved as of April 2024 include: (1) integrated green growth strategies into the development plans for South Sumatra, South Sulawesi, and East Nusa Tenggara; (2) improved the Strategic Environment Assessment for these regions by incorporating green growth, gender needs, climate change mitigation, sustainable land use, and food security; (3) completed 2 Forest Management Plans in South Sulawesi and South Sumatra, leading to the development of 3 hydrology databases and 2 technical reports; and (4) established 52 women-led agroforestry enterprises, creating 42 demonstration plots and 60 communal kitchen gardens.
