The project substantially advanced local and regional watershed management practices. Through the establishment of demonstration plots, the project showcased effective conservation farming techniques that help mitigate soil erosion and improve water conservation. These practices have been vital in enhancing the ecological health of the Naruan Micro Catchment area.

Training and capacity-building activities have empowered local farmers with new agricultural skills, particularly in apiculture and the cultivation of high-value crops such as coffee and avocados, boosting local economies and reducing dependence on traditional farming methods.

The project’s success in integrating community efforts into watershed management has set a precedent for similar environmental initiatives across Indonesia. The creation of comprehensive policy briefs and the dissemination of findings through workshops and publications have ensured that the project’s benefits will extend beyond the immediate community, influencing sustainable practices at broader institutional levels.
