MULTI-SECTOR PARTNERSHIPS FOR SUSTAINABLE BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT: LESSONS LEARNED FROM ROUND TABLE INDONESIA
ABSTRACT: Over a
period of three
years, Bogor Agricultural
University/Institut
Pertanian Bogor (IPB) and Maastricht School of Management
(MsM) have been executing the multi-annual project Round Table
Indonesia,
www.roundtableindonesia.net.
This project aimed
at contributing to the
improvement of a
sustainable business and
investment climate in
the Indonesian agricultural
sector, by strengthening the knowledge capacity, formulating concrete investment
opportunities, and facilitating partnerships.
As a result, IPB and MsM have developed courses on sustainable business
development and facilitated business projects in poultry, mangosteen, palm oil,
shrimps, and tourism. All projects are
based on in-depth value chain analyses and roundtable meetings with key
stakeholders of government, private sector, academia, and civil society. Linking
education and applied
research with business
development will lead
to a stronger and more sustainable
Indonesian agricultural sector, being of crucial importance for the Indonesian
development as a whole.
