Around the world with COVID-19 pandemic, education and employment have shifted to online mode. Although this has been a revolutionary and helpful tool it has also exacerbated the already existing inequal access to technology and internet connectivity. Also, as opportunities for youth employment shrink, youth entrepreneurship (in Green sector) is emerging as a critical lever for economic recovery, resilience and growth. Now, more than ever, Plan needs to continue to serve the people most in need to tackle and cope with the ongoing challenges posed by COVID-19, by enhancing their digital tools and solutions, enhancing curricula to include green skilling and knowledge of green / sustainable business creation. Building on existing Accenture, Google and other partner-supported successful youth skilling programs and platforms, Plan conduct a strategic one-year project that will allow Plan to continue advancing existing program priorities in Indonesia and the Philippines, whilst adjusting to emerging new needs that reflect environmental, green and more socially aware livelihood opportunities in Colombia, creating a blueprint that if successful, will be replicated.
For Indonesia, the proposed extension has specific goal as below:
Economic empowerment of young people, particularly young women (Indonesia and Philippines) by
- Enhance and expand the YES! Digital Ecosystem tools and local partnerships, building on the learnings of Wired for Work.

This program is aligned with Plan’s strategy to have a profound impact on youth economic empowerment of youth - especially girls – around the world, and with Accenture’s evolving Skills to Succeed strategy, where technology is harnessed to scale employment and enterprise outcomes and address inequality. The proposed extension builds on the successful Wired4Work project in Indonesia and Philippines, ensuring the sustainability of the existing support and learning assets, including the YES!Digital Ecosystem and YES!Academy, by adapting content and distribution to youth’s changed needs due to the pandemic.
