Background  

 Resilience Ketapang Project 

Cargill and Save the Children (SC) share a long-term vision to enhance the livelihoods and well-being of palm oil farming households and their communities—particularly youth—in West Kalimantan, Indonesia. Since the launch of Phase 1 in 2021, the partnership has delivered integrated interventions in Ketapang District focused on youth employability and entrepreneurship, improved access to finance for women and youth, and strengthened water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) practices. These efforts enabled young people to diversify income opportunities beyond traditional agriculture, increased financial inclusion through savings groups and financial literacy, and improved community health outcomes through enhanced WASH services. Collectively, Phase 1 reached more than 8,113 individuals across 13 villages and laid a strong foundation for sustainable livelihoods, social inclusion, and long-term development within palm oil–producing communities. 

Building on these achievements, Cargill and Save the Children launched Phase 2 of the partnership in early 2025—a three-year program designed to scale impact and reach additional palm oil farming households. This phase focuses on fostering inclusive and sustainable economic growth, strengthening community well-being, empowering vulnerable youth, and promoting the sustained adoption of clean and healthy behaviors, including improved nutrition, WASH, and hygiene practices. Through integrated livelihood, youth, and WASH interventions, the program aims to deliver lasting social, economic, and environmental benefits across targeted communities. 

The overarching goal of the project is to drive sustainable economic growth and improve community well-being by promoting income-generating activities, empowering vulnerable youth, and fostering the adoption of clean and healthy WASH practices and behaviours. By the end of Year 3, the program aims to engage 8,500 participants and achieve three key outcomes: (1) increased household incomes and viable business opportunities within the palm oil supply chain and alternative livelihood pathways; (2) improved employment opportunities for vulnerable youth—including local ethnic and out-of-school youth—through apprenticeships, formal employment, and business start-up support; and (3) improved access to and use of appropriate WASH facilities, infrastructure, and behaviors among children, adolescents, youth, farming families, and the wider community. 

Phase 2 is implemented in 25 villages across five sub-districts of Ketapang District—Jelai Hulu, Air Upas, Manis Mata, Marau, and Kendawangan—over the starting period (January 2025), the official program kick-off with Cargill already took place in late August 2025, effective implementation of activities commenced in September 2025. The implementation focused on program introduction, stakeholder coordination, community engagement, and foundational activities critical to ensuring readiness for full-scale delivery. 

Youth intervention (Outcome 2) through the program is currently in the coordination stage. Initial coordination already been conducted with Manpower and Transmigration, its training centre for identifying current skill improvement program available in the department, while also asses leader of local enterprise organization, HIPMI (Himpunan Pengusaha Muda Indonesia/Indonesian Young Entrepreneurs Association) for possibility of apprenticeship program includes gathering information based on their experiences to see gaps on youth capacity and readiness for fulfilling local job vacancies.
