About the Program
The Mangrove for Coastal Resilience (M4CR) Project is an initiative of the Government of Indonesia aimed at supporting the implementation of sustainable mangrove ecosystem management policies, comprehensive conservation efforts, and strengthening multi-sectoral coordination platforms at both national and sub-national levels. The program also promotes engagement with key stakeholders, including Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) and the private sector, to achieve integrated, effective, and equitable mangrove governance.
Through this collaborative approach, mangrove conservation is expected not only to contribute to environmental protection but also to enhance the economic and social well-being of coastal communities that depend on these resources.
The M4CR Project operates at the grassroots level using a participatory village development approach, aiming to promote sustainable mangrove management and community economic empowerment through the development of Mangrove Management Villages (Desa Mandiri Peduli Mangrove – DMPM).
KEMITRAAN will participate in the selection process for the implementation package of the M4CR Project, particularly for the DMPM component in East Kalimantan and Riau Provinces. In this regard, KEMITRAAN invites expressions of interest from qualified experts and staff who are interested in contributing to the implementation of this project.
