Amidst severe economic challenges, Maluku, one of Indonesia’s poorest provinces, grapples with heightened infant mortality rates, limited access to clean water and sanitation, and insufficient livelihood opportunities. Since 1999, ethnic conflicts have claimed numerous lives, displaced communities, and exacerbated poverty. The aftermath includes a fragile state of peace and a significant number of internally displaced people, who face housing challenges and limited financial resources. In addition, the lack of income-generating opportunities and weakened economic security constitute a breeding ground for conflicts at the community level.
The programme aims to contribute to stabilizing the fragile peace and fostering poverty reduction in Maluku province. The key objectives of the programme are to: (i) promote participatory project planning and monitoring at the village level; (ii) enhance sustainable livelihood development through education and technology transfer; (iii) foster peacebuilding and conflict management; and (iv) improve overall living conditions and health security.
