Project Background

In March 2014 Hivos started implementation of a ‘M4P’ (Making

Markets Work for the Poor) project funded by DFAT under its

Australia-Indonesia Partnership for Promoting Rural Income

through Support for Markets in Agriculture (AIP-PRISMA)

two-year initiative implemented in conjunction with individual

farmers, local partners and the private sector in NTT Province.

The objective of the project is to increase pig farmer incomes

by improving and incentivising productivity. This will be
