5. Highlights of achievement to date
• ALLIR (Assessment of Livelihoods and Landscapes to Improve Resilience) framework and tool has been
developed, tested and implemented in 61 villages in peat landscapes; risks and opportunities identification and
intervention formulation at the village level have been documented into PEGARI (Peta Jalan Desa Gambut
Lestari)
• Dissemination process has been conducted
• Facilitation of the development of peat ecosystem restoration and management plans (RPPEG) is ongoing for
South Sumatra and West Kalimantan
• The data collection and emission estimations are on going in degraded and restored peatland, led by BBSDLP

1. ICRAF melalui Peat IMPACTS akan mendukung pengembangan plot demonstrasi di desa
contoh sesuai dengan kesepakatan yang telah dibangun bersama-sama denagn Pemerintah
Desa.
2. Plot demontrasi adalah milik masyarakat desa dan dipergunakan sebesar-besarnya sebagai
media pembelajaran dan penguatan kapasitas petani di ekosistem gambut
3. Selama kurun waktu Januari 2022-Desember 2023, plot demontasi akan dikelola secara
bersama oleh Pemerintah Desa, Dinas Pemberdayaan Masyarakat Desa (DPMD) Kabupaten
Banyuasin dan ICRAF.
4. Dalam kurun waktu tersebut, seluruh pembiayaan yang terkait dengan penyelenggaraan plot
demontrasi, termasuk didalamnya resiko kerugian dari kegagalan usaha tani ditanggung
sepenuhnya oleh ICRAF
5. Hasil pertanian dari plot demontasi merupakan hak Pemerintah Desa contoh
