| dc.description.abstract | The Mangrove for Coastal Resilience (M4CR) project by the Peat and Mangrove
Restoration Agency (BRGM) aims to strengthen coastal resilience through
mangrove rehabilitation and community empowerment. Business incubation serves
as a key strategy to enhance the entrepreneurial capacity of coastal communities.
This report analyses the role of business incubation in developing mangrove-based
enterprises, along with its challenges and solutions. Through field observations,
interviews, and secondary data analysis, the program was found to improve
managerial capacity, product diversification, and market access for community
business groups. However, challenges such as limited capital, restricted access to
technology, and insufficient business knowledge remained significant obstacles. To
address these, M4CR provided funding (Matching Grants), training, and mentoring
to support economic sustainability and mangrove ecosystem conservation. | en_US |
