JAdi Pengusaha MandiRI (JAPRI)
Project
Project
Background:
JAdi Pengusaha
MandiRI (JAPRI) project is a USAID-funded project implemented by IIE (Institute
of International Education) with sub implementers: Prestasi Junior Indonesia
(PJI), Mien R Uno Foundation (MRUF), and Indonesian International Education
Foundation (IIEF). As Indonesia’s economy continues to grow, economic
inequality is also increasing, and the population living near or below the
poverty line is at risk of being left behind. Entrepreneurship provides an
important avenue for poor and vulnerable (P&V) youth to improve their
livelihoods, create economic opportunity for themselves and others in their
communities, and contribute to Indonesia’s economic development. However,
P&V youth face barriers to launching their own businesses. Existing
entrepreneurship programs rarely address challenges particular to this group –
including foundational skill gaps, difficulty obtaining financing, and the need
for intensive coaching and mentoring to help them start and grow successful
enterprises. JAPRI will leverage and tailor existing entrepreneurship resources
to develop, test, and scale an approach to promoting entrepreneurship among
P&V youth. JAPRI will work with local governments and other stakeholders as
appropriate (i.e. university, small business owners) to identify potential
P&V youth, develop modules of training, as well as modules of coaching.
JAPRI will also take advantage of youth representatives to ensure a
youth-friendly entrepreneurship module.
Project Purpose and Objectives: The
purpose of the JAPRI program is to equip P&V youth aged 18-30 with
entrepreneurship and other basic skills, provide them with seed funding, and
link them to additional financing and ongoing support that will help them start
and grow businesses. We will achieve this purpose through the following
objectives:
·
Objective 1: Generate interest
in entrepreneurship and willingness to take risks among P&V youth and
support within their families and communities
·
Objective 2: Equip P&V
youth who have entrepreneurship potential with knowledge and skills to start
and grow businesses that respond to local market conditions
·
Objective 3: Provide ongoing
support to P&V youth entrepreneurs including coaching, seed funding, access
to market analysis and financing, and linkages to the business community
To support the project, JAPRI
will conduct a value chain analysis to gain a better understanding of available support systems
for business
development, access to financial
institutions,
and access to markets
for P&V youth.
