Term of Reference
Consultant for Facilitating Workshops for the
Establishment of a National Multi Stakeholder Platform on Food System in
Indonesia
Background
Currently Hivos is implementing the SWITCH
Asia Local Harvest project together with its partners: WWF Indonesia, Aliansi
Masyarakat Adat Nusantara (AMAN), Asosiasi Pendamping Perempuan Usaha Kecil
(ASPPUK) and Non Timber Forest Product – Exchange Programme (NTFP-EP) Indonesia.
The project is co-funded by the European Union. The specific objective of the
project is a significant shift
in consumption patterns towards sustainable and ethically sourced food products
in Indonesia that stimulated by 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
favorable policy environment for uptake of SCP practices in the food sector.. One of the expected outcomes of the project is lobby and advocacy
through a national and local multi stakeholder platform that consisted of key
actors in the food system in Indonesia.
The Switch Asia Local Harvest project is co-funded by the Sustainable
Diets for All (SD4All) program implemented by Hivos and IIED since 2016. This
is one of the four programmes of its Dialogue and Dissent strategic partnership
with the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The long term goal is more
sustainable, diverse, healthy and nutritious food available for low to middle income
citizens. Multistakeholder platforms in local and national level promoting this
long term goal are part of the Theory of Change of SD4All.
Meanwhile, in relation to the
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the Indonesian government has
shown strong commitment and taken actions, including linking most of the SDGs
targets and indicators to the national mid-term development plan (RJPMN),
including mainstreaming sustainable
food and agriculture into the plan. A multi-stakeholder forum that involves
government and non-government actors can be one of possible routes to achieve
the SDGs target.
Both Switch Asia and Local Harvest
programs put strong emphasis on its contribution for SDG implementation in
Indonesia, including but not limited to SDG 2 and SDG 12. Hivos is one of the
co-leads of SDG 12’s One Planet Network - Sustainable Food System program in
the global level.
