In addition to that, there is also growing fear around misinformation about COVID-19.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The social impacts and lack of food have become the most urgent issues that need to be addressed by organisations in the field. Their ability to remain agile, adaptive and responsive means that despite the challenges, our partners have been able to create effective solutions to these problems.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_21542\" style=\"width: 1095px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-21542\" class=\"size-full wp-image-21542 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/blog.blueventures.org\/media\/2020\/06\/Kumpul-Mitra-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1085\" height=\"573\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.blueventures.org\/media\/2020\/06\/Kumpul-Mitra-1.jpg 1085w, https:\/\/blog.blueventures.org\/media\/2020\/06\/Kumpul-Mitra-1-676x357.jpg 676w, https:\/\/blog.blueventures.org\/media\/2020\/06\/Kumpul-Mitra-1-745x393.jpg 745w, https:\/\/blog.blueventures.org\/media\/2020\/06\/Kumpul-Mitra-1-100x53.jpg 100w, https:\/\/blog.blueventures.org\/media\/2020\/06\/Kumpul-Mitra-1-300x158.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1085px) 100vw, 1085px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1085px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1085\/573;\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-21542\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kumpul Mitra on Google Meet | Photo: Nisa Syahidah<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span class=\"pull-right\">Some teams have even suggested reviving traditional bartering systems, for example trading rice for fish.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During our Kumpul Mitra discussions, some great ideas have come up about how organisations can support fishers, such as developing local supply chains using new technologies, creating community food barns and offering COVID-19 relief that responds to local needs. Some teams have even suggested reviving traditional bartering systems, for example trading rice for fish.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The pandemic has also meant that many partners are exploring how to increase communities\u2019 social security in the long-term, including diversifying the livelihoods of fishers, initiating household financial management programmes, taking a gender perspective approach to respond to the impacts of COVID-19, and strengthening health care systems in remote areas and hard-to-reach islands.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite working in different contexts and provinces, and with different approaches, our network of conservation organisations in Indonesia all share the same vision; to drive community-led conservation by strengthening and uniting local partner organisations. This shared vision is what keeps us going, even during the hard times.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whilst moderating Kumpul Mitra discussions, I\u2019ve been really inspired by the work that our partners are doing to tackle the crisis. Although the COVID-19 pandemic remains a threat throughout Indonesia and around the world, I feel hopeful for the future. The challenges of the crisis have forced us all to think differently, to adapt to new situations and to find new ways of working collaboratively, in spite of physical distance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And until we can meet in person again, we just meet in Meet.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Blue Ventures partner organisations in Indonesia show their ability to adapt to the impacts of COVID-19 and continue to support communities<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":192,"featured_media":21522,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[624,475],"tags":[764,682,651,481],"class_list":["post-21521","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-indonesia","category-supporting-partners","tag-covid-19","tag-indonesia","tag-outreach","tag-supporting-partners"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.3 -
