PROGRAM SUMMARY:
 
Mercy Corps aims to address the
complex underlying causes of malnutrition in urban poor settlements by building
healthy physical environments, cultivating positive social contexts, and
strengthening supportive economic relationships that facilitate access to and
utilization of affordable adequate nourishment. The Tofu Tempe SWITCH project will
improve the situation of micro, small, and medium factories producing tofu and tempe in urban and peri-urban areas of Indonesia by helping them access
energy-efficient technologies. This will increase productivity while reducing
dependency on unsustainable fuel sources such as firewood from building waste,
natural forest and urban woodland, thereby lessening carbon emissions. To
facilitate a market-based shift that will outlast the duration of the action
and replicate across additional informal processed food enterprises at a scale relevant
to the overall industries, the action will build the capacities of a local
partner and associates, including NGOs that provide business development
services; government Ministries eager to promote environmentally sustainable
production; financial institutions; and private-sector equipment suppliers
looking for new markets. Among consumers, the action will raise awareness of
sustainable consumption and production, creating a market incentive for more
producers to switch to energy-efficient technologies. Cost savings from this
switch will enhance livelihoods and help to alleviate poverty through improved
production resulting in increased incomes. 
 
This program also addresses
health and hygiene concerns by improving food quality for the large numbers of
the Indonesian population below the poverty line regularly consuming tempe and tofu. In
addition, the program will demonstrate a cost-effective transition from use of
firewood to cleaner alternatives, contributing to reducing risks of fires in
densely populated urban settings, and deforestation and environmental
degradation in Indonesia. 
The overall objective for this program is to reduce energy consumption and increase sustainable growth in urban food
processing industries in Indonesia.  The specific
objective is to promote sustainable
production and consumption of tofu and tempe,
and develop mechanisms for the replication of successful strategies.
