Policy Brief – Women’s Rights and Resilience in Coastal Areas Amid Regulatory and Climate Changes

This policy brief is grounded in the ongoing efforts of Humanis and its partners under the Fisherfolk Empowerment for Climate Resilience and Sustainability (FOCUS) program. Funded by Norad, FOCUS aims to strengthen coastal management to address climate change and disaster risks while promoting a sustainable food system for fishing communities in Central Java. The program seeks to enhance the participation of coastal populations in decision-making processes related to resource planning. It advocates for a sustainable balance between the utilization and conservation of marine resources, including mangroves, and supports the improvement of local value chains.
