Scaling Up Women’s Empowerment During the Pandemic and Beyond: Lessons From Indonesia’s ‘Kartu Prakerja’ Programme
This Policy Brief was first published in https://t20ind.org
Gender gaps and female employment barriers have long been a prominent concern for countries around the world. One effective strategy to address these challenges involves narrowing the gaps and eliminating the barriers that prevent women from acquiring the skills they need to effectively participate in the labour market. The Indonesian government respond to the need for adequate training access for all, including women, through the ‘Kartu Prakerja’ programme, which provides thousands of relevant training modules to the labour force. Kartu Prakerja promotes end-to-end digital implementation, a customer-centric approach, and on-demand videos that facilitate easy access to training, and creates personalised learning journeys. These unique features provide women with the flexibility to take the training at their preferred time and place. Similar programmes can be replicated in other G20 countries.
