The Deutsche
Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH is an international
cooperation enterprise for sustainable development with worldwide operations.
Its corporate objective is to improve people’s living conditions on a
sustainable basis. Since 1957, German Development Cooperation with Indonesia
has been evolving steadily, adjusting its course to match Indonesia's
development needs. GIZ has been working in Indonesia since 1975, mainly on
behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development
(BMZ) and other German Ministries, as well as other development partners and
the private sector.
In the context of the bilateral development
cooperation between the Governments of Germany and Indonesia, the new bilateral
programme “Innovation and Investment for Inclusive Sustainable Economic
Development (ISED)” will assist the Government of Indonesia and the private
sector in strengthening the capacities of private and public actors for
promoting inclusive and sustainable employment in Indonesia. It combines
support for technical and vocational education and training (TVET) with those
for private sector development (PSD) in a holistic approach. The new programme
will, on one side, provide consultancy, networking, expertise and capacity
building for the TVET system reform in Indonesia on national level, based on
key aspects of the German approach to TVET (such as strong cooperation with
industry, learning in the work-process and recognised standards). On the other
side, ISED works on sectoral and regional level. As a first sector and region
in this context, ISED will promote sustainable tourism development in Lombok by
enhancing both private-public cooperation in TVET, supporting inclusive
business models and linking and matching between supply and demand of human
resources in that sector and region - as well as ensuring the transfer of best
practices and experiences to the national level.
