About the Project

Drawing from the lessons learned during the implementation of PROSPER III, and as part of CARE and Cargill’s new data-driven framework, CARE has developed a comprehensive model that integrates business training, access to flexible financing, technical assistance, digital technology, and linkages with strategic networks (financial institutions, local governments, and private companies). This model has proven effective not only in increasing income but also in transforming community structures and enhancing women’s participation in economic, political, and environmental decision-making.

Through a series of participatory dialogues with village leaders, women participants, and representatives of P.T. Hindoli, the project identified key gaps in income, participation, and coordination within the palm oil replanting program. The proposed extension of PROSPER III directly responds to these community-prioritized needs by aligning the proposed solutions with existing government frameworks such as MBG, RBI, and the Red and White Cooperatives. The overarching goal is to support Indonesia’s rural development and palm oil replanting strategy by institutionalizing scalable models for women’s leadership, inclusive governance, and resilient local food systems. This goal builds directly on the achievements of PROSPER III and aligns with CARE and Cargill’s commitments to sustainability, gender equality, and inclusive food systems. The program adopts a systems-change approach focused on long-term, institutionalized impact in palm oil–producing communities.

During the PROSPER III Extension, the program will focus on:

• Economic empowerment and cooperative graduation,
• Institutionalized social protection through the integration of Ruang Bersama Indonesia (RBI),
• Integration of food and nutrition systems, and
• Governance and policy through the institutionalization of the District Forum.
