In general, the material that will be provided is divided into two, namely basic Social Forestry material, such as policy material and the development of Social Forestry in Indonesia; gender equality and the role of young people in Social Forestry practices and workshop material that focuses on economic institutions and Social Forestry business governance.

In the SESORE Batch 4 learning series, participants will be encouraged to use a development approach at the landscape scale. Learning is no longer carried out partially at one locus, but is focused on an integrated area development model. In its implementation, participants will identify and analyze various aspects needed in developing business institutions such as superior product analysis, market analysis, product feasibility studies, business planning, financial planning, and marketing. At the final session of the meeting, the SESORE participants will present the results of their analysis at the village scale by inviting stakeholders who can contribute input and follow-up to the commodity business planning of the SESORE participants.

The implementation of SESORE Batch 4 is in partnership with the Cipeuteuy Village Government which is the location for field work with the aim that the results of the business planning carried out by SESORE participants can be adopted as policy recommendations in the village.
