FAIR Partnership Oxfam IDO-Watson Fund FAIR Company Community Partnership comprises four principles of Freedom of Choices, Accountability, Improvement of Benefits, and Respect for Rights. The long-term objective of FAIR Partnerships implementation is to demonstrate a holistic landscape level approach in Indonesia in support of community/smallholder-inclusive growth in the palm oil sector.
Building on continued interest from PepsiCo and following the geographic priorities as directed by the Indonesian government, Oxfam has shifted its focus to local economic development needs in Sulawesi. A scoping study for selecting intervention area based on the target commodities (palm oil, cocoa and coconut) is done and has resulted in the decision to proceed with the Co-Creation and Preparation Phase ofFAIR Project in North Konawe, South East Sulawesi.
A   consortium of   Oxfam in Indonesia with three  local   CSOs (JKPP, TUK, and Teras) has   taken   on   thepreparations/inception and implementation of the pilot project.  The CSO consortium secured the interest in the FAIR partnership pilot from affected local communities and related independent smallholders, initial buy in from the two mills in the landscape of North Konawe and serious support from the local government agencies.
Oxfam's programminghistory, reputation and strong relationships with civil society, government, development partners, research institutions and private sector actors provide project legitimacy and acceptance from project participants and the wider community. Oxfam's effective role as a 'meeting initiator, facilitator, intermediary / broker' means that the FAIR Partnership project is well placed to connect project participants with various stakeholders so thattheir needs and priorities can be better addressed through directaction and a more enabling environment.
