of:
Title : Festival Coordinator for Inclusive Gastronomy – Idea Accelerator Pilot Project 2019
Duty Station : Bandung,
Indonesia
Report to : Advocacy Officer for Sustainable Diets
Duration : 3 months ( October to December 2019)
Background
The “New Generation of Indonesian Cooking
(NGIC)” or “Generasi Baru Dapur Indonesia” platform was established in 2017,
supported by Hivos under the Sustainable Diets for All (SD4All) programme. It
is a movement promoting Indonesia’s rich gastronomic heritage with a modern and
innovative twist.
NGIC presents a combination of the country’s
heritage and great taste experience. It brings advantages to chefs, food
service companies, farmers, local producers, local retailers, and of course,
consumers. The city of Bandung with its four million inhabitants was chosen as
the project pilot site and all citizens of the city are the targets. However,
the consumers represented in the platform’s three working groups (Educate, Act,
Promote) so far are from the middle class since the group in Bandung – and
possibly elsewhere – have the capacity and time to organize themselves into a
‘komunitas’ or community groups.
As Hivos, we want to give voices to the less
privileged actors, the outliers that are often forgotten, despite their status
as part of the system (in this case, the urban food system). The question now,
how can we provide the space for low income consumers in this gastronomy
movement? How can we make the platform more inclusive, and with appropriate and
well-targeted campaign that covers all citizens? As previously mentioned,
eating good food is a human right. NGIC is potential platform to do that,
albeit in smaller (city) scale.
NGIC platform is now led by a number of local
actors, including communities that focused on promoting sustainable consumption
and healthy lifestyle and have strong interest on urban food system and
consumers’ role. The Idea Accelerator pilot in Bandung plans to promote a more
inclusive gastronomy movement via local actors including said communities.
Meanwhile, based on recent mapping and
discussion with local stakeholders including the Health Department of Bandung –
another member of NGIC platform, the local actors recommend the NGIC to also be
involved in schools, aside from the current focus on food service actors such
as chefs.
Hivos also working together with Kummara, game
based learning method designer who will design and develop special board game
and an interactive (game-based) learning program on healthy diet. The board
game will be the focal point of the festival, as it will be used as a tool to
promote healthy diet amongst the festival goers.
Objective
To performs a mini food festival in selected
schools to attract low-income consumers within those schools and its
surrounding neighborhood. The festivals itself must have concept that’s in line
with the board game that Kummara has designed.

consumers.
