World Education began working in Indonesia in 1991 to improve the environmental management of a network of Indonesian NGOs. The project trained farmers and NGO staff in integrated pest management field school methodology. Over the years, World Education became a leader in implementing community-based sustainable agriculture and integrated conservation programs that address deforestation and other environmental threats throughout the country. In 2011, World Education, Inc. and the Alcatel-Lucent Foundation worked in partnership in Indonesia to implement ConnectEd. ConnectEd emphasized the importance of possessing basic ICT skills to foster inclusion and give disadvantaged youth a better chance to cross the opportunities gap and to access more and better employment options. Other World Education projects in Indonesia have focused on basic education, at-risk youth development, and microfinance. Currently, World Education is supporting the Government of Indonesia’s decentralization initiatives by strengthening provincial, district, and local training capacity through the USAID-funded Prioritizing Reform, Innovation and Opportunities for Reaching Indonesia’s Teachers, Administrators and Students (PRIORITAS) project. |
