Summary of Publication
The Australia-Indonesia Partnership for Promoting Rural Incomes through Support for Markets in Agriculture (PRISMA-2) is a five -year program (2019 – 2023) between the Australian and Indonesian Governments focused on market systems development in the agricultural sector. It builds upon the achievements and results of the Australia Indonesia Partnership for Rural Economic Development Program (AIP-Rural) (2013 –2018). PRISMA-2 promotes and supports inclusive economic growth in Indonesia’s agriculture, horticulture, livestock and aquaculture sectors with a single end of program outcome of a minimum 30 percent increase in incomes for 700,000 smallholder farming households by December 2023.
PRISMA-2 currently works in 12 agricultural sectors across six provinces in Indonesia. It partners with the private sector to improve smallholder farmers’ competitiveness and ability to access new markets, better inputs, know-how and technology.
The Independent Strategic Review (ISR) of PRISMA-2 comes as the program enters the last year of its second five-year phase. The review captures evidence of PRISMA-2 achievements and highlights challenges and lessons learned for recommendations on the remainder and the future of the program.
The ISR found that PRISMA-2 is performing effectively and on track to achieve its end-of-program outcome, noting that efforts towards systemic change, policy influence and ensuring long-term sustainability of its existing results should be priorities for the remainder of the program.
The ISR recognised the benefits PRISMA delivered in areas of significant strategic importance to the Government of Indonesia and the Government of Australia, including on food security, women’s economic empowerment, climate change mitigation and adaptation and economic resilience. This emphasised the relevance and importance of rural development and agriculture investment to the Australian-Indonesia partnership.
