Terima kasih
USAID JAPRI Team
=============================================================================================================
*Communication Consultant*
*Period of Performance:* *February – Sept 2020*
*(with possibility for extension)*
*Background*
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 and the need for coaching and mentoring to help
them start and/or grow businesses.
The goal of the JAdi Pengusaha MandiRI (Become an Independent
Entrepreneur, otherwise known as JAPRI) program is to improve work
opportunities for P&V youth ages 18-30. JAPRI leverages and tailors
existing entrepreneurship resources to promote entrepreneurship among P&V
youth
and increase women-owned business in selected sectors in East Java. JAPRI is
implemented by a consortium, which includes the Institute of
International Education (IIE) as the lead, Prestasi Junior Indonesia
(PJI), the Mien R.Uno Foundation (MRUF) and Kelompok Perempuan dan
Sumber-sumber Kehidupan (KPS2K). The consortium will bring complementary
strengths
to JAPRI - entrepreneurship expertise, and a proven ability to work
directly with P&V youth in Indonesia and create networks of local
officials, private sector representatives, and successful youth
entrepreneurs. JAPRI works with relevant local governments and
universities to identify potential P&V youths.
JAPRI is one in a consortia of programs under a larger USAID initiative,
called Mitra Kunci, which is providing Indonesia’s poorest and most
vulnerable with skills needed to be productive members of Indonesia’s
workforce consortium.
*Project **Goal*
The goal of JAPRI is to improve P&V youth work opportunities by
increasing their entrepreneurial skills. JAPRI will achieve its goal
through the following objectives:
· Objective 1: JAPRI will empower P&V youth to start and/or grow
business through increased entrepreneurship knowledge and skills, and
access to business coaching and mentoring.
· Objective 2: JAPRI will strengthen the capacity of local
stakeholders to provide P&V youth entrepreneurs with ongoing support

opportunities through increased basic entrepreneurship skills and
