    • Project

      The importance of this project “Economic Sovereignty of Indigenous Women” is to increase the role of indigenous women within the indigenous community to be economically empowered.

The aim of this food sovereignty programis to strengthen the indigenous peoples’ economy through the indigenous peoples’ food sovereignty program in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has not yet been completed and threatens an economic crisis and social crisis in indigenous peoples in the long term. The solution is to strengthen the economy of indigenous peoples through indigenous women, by utilizing the potential ofindigenous territories, the natural resources of indigenous peoples.SAFE Sumbawa since 2019 Voice program had initiatedtheformation of Indigenous Women of Sumbawa and encourage the formation of management of indigenous women within the institution of indigenous peoples, because of the presence of management proficiency level to facilitate the interaction of indigenous peoples in building a stronger indigenous peoples. Indigenous peoples can be empowered and the existence of the management ofindigenous women will help empower the indigenous peoples’ own economy.If indigenous women are empowered, they will be creative and able to formulate and run programs that have been previously agreed upon, for example in the utilization of 2 hectares of land/forest/customary territory managed by indigenous women to plant commodities ready for harvest within 1-4 months in every season.
