- Wakatobi National Park Office, Wakatobi Regency DKP through UPTD on each island as well as community groups carry out joint supervision of protected marine areas.
- The Wakatobi Regency Government, through the Perindakop Service, provided facilities and infrastructure assistance to the weaving group in Pajam village, Kaledupa Island for activities to reuse cotton and natural dyes as raw materials for weaving.
- The community and stakeholders in the six program locations participate in monitoring and maintaining the results of activities, be it marine protected areas, or maintaining trees planted at each partner location (traditional stakeholders, community groups, Wakatobi National Park Office, DKP, government villages and sub-districts).
- The emergence of an industry for making and renting wood-saving stoves in the Wali sub-district, Binongko and Kulati Village, Tomia.
- Increased community income from activities that have been carried out in several partner locations. For example, in Binongko and Tomia from the stove manufacturing and rental industry as well as proceeds from the use of the Fish Bank and in Pajam village, Kaledupa from the woven fabric manufacturing industry.
- The wood-saving stove training activity in Wali Village, Binongko had quite a big impact on the Wali community and communities in neighboring villages. As many as 400 families in Wali sub-district have used wood-saving stoves, whether they made them themselves or bought stoves from outside. The skill of making firewood-saving stoves has also attracted the attention of the people of Lagongga village to make the same thing.
- The activity of replanting cotton for woven raw materials in Pajam village succeeded in rehabilitating cotton for woven raw materials, maintaining seed stocks, increasing community knowledge about how to cultivate cotton and restoring the tradition of weaving using cotton thread and natural dyes.
- Panglima partner activities (cotton planting and the process of weaving cotton into cloth) are one of the agendas for the Wakatobi Regency Annual Festival in 2019 (Barara Kahedupa Festival). The impact of this activity includes that the Wakatobi Regional Government and the wider community know about the partner's activities and the existence of the cotton itself. There is a tourism promotion for Pajam village. There is support from the Regional Government for the development of weaving craftsmen's activities. People who participate in festival activities earn income from the sale of their woven crafts.
- Several schools in each activity location collaborate with partners to use modules on local food and the use of environmentally friendly fishing gear.
- Communities in several activity locations consider marine protected areas as a limitation for them in earning a living (fishing).
One of the weaving craftsmen in Pajam village is harvesting the cotton they planted. Now they are starting to relearn how to spin thread from cotton. For the first time in the GEF-SGP program, cotton was replanted after it had been lost for decades. And this is the first time Cotton has been planted in one bed.
