Published by Yayasan SATUNAMA under SAFE project, this guide provides a comprehensive framework for mainstreaming GEDSI into agricultural supply chains, specifically for GIZ’s Sustainable Agriculture for Forest Ecosystems (SAFE) project partners. Offering step-by-step guidance on risk mitigation, responsive budgeting, inclusive team-building, and monitoring, the guide seeks to create equitable, sustainable agribusiness ecosystems.
