aNd EmpoweRinG Youth Program (ENERGY-Program)
Introduction
Young
people are a major resource for development, able to act as key agents for
social change, economic development and technological innovation. According to
the 2010 population census, there are approximately 62.3 million youth in
Indonesia aged 16-30 years.1 This number represents over a
quarter (26.2%) of Indonesia’s total population. While young people represent
the future of the country, their participation in development is still less
than ideal, due primarily to the poor quality of education, training and health
services. Weak infrastructure coupled with experiences of inequality and
exclusion, especially for girls, further increases the challenges young people
face as they strive to participate more holistically in the development
process.
PT.
Caterpillar has been implementing CSR activities in their work area: Cilengsi
& Batam. In Cilengsi, CSR activities have focused mainly on the provision
of sanitation services, infrastructure development and the funding of
environmental campaigns. PT. Caterpillar has also supported vocational schools
through the provision of welding equipment and internships.
ChildFund
would like to build on this positive experience, and propose enhancing and
empowering youth project targeting 200
youth (80% young woman & 20% young man)
aged 16-24 at 2 villages in Cilengsi and 100 youth (80% young woman
& 20% young man) at 4 islands in Batam.
The goal of the project is to ensure youth especially
young woman are given equal opportunity in accessing technical and
interpersonal skills to be able to acess better economic opportunity at 2
