Difficulties Towards Empowered and Sustainable Villages
Golo Mori Village, located 25 kilometers from the Labuan Bajo super-priority tourist destination, has been proposed as a Special Economic Zone (SEZ). With the growth of tourism, Golo Mori Village has the potential to enhance its economy as a support village. However, this growth could be a challenge to the village community if not associated with awareness of a waste-free environment and the development of sustainable agriculture.
Up to this point, Labuan Bajo and its surrounding areas are still facing difficulties related to waste, where waste goes directly to the landfill without optimal treatment. On the other hand, the majority of the local community has not optimized agriculture, despite it being the main livelihood. Farmers still use pesticides instead of compost fertilizers obtained from organic waste, and they still rely on rain-fed irrigation.

Implemented Solution
The Golo Mori Todo Cama Project, meaning 'Growing Together,' aims to create an empowered support village.
This Solution Implementation Project is also designed to be easily adopted by other tourist destinations adjacent to the SEZ, enabling the SEZ to develop alongside the growth of the local community and local tourism.

Integrated Waste Management
Forming an effective and integrated waste management system, waste collection facilities, as well as organic and inorganic waste processing
Community Food Resilience
Providing educational mentoring and regenerative farming applications with eco-friendly principles to enhance agricultural production and quality of the products.
Economic Diversification
Assisting in developing a circular economy from agribusiness to partner with tourism stakeholders in the SEZ and Labuan Bajo. This can help create diverse sources of income for the community, not solely reliant on the tourism sector.
