Background:

The Indonesia Inclusive
Workforce Development Partnerships (IWDP) Initiative is a five-year, $22.8
million, USAID-funded program that will promote more inclusive economic growth
by improving access to workforce and entrepreneurial skills for poor and

vulnerable youth. The IWDP team will provide USAID project implementers and
workforce stakeholders with technical support, connections, and platforms to
help build a more robust and responsive workforce development ecosystem. In
addition to management support, capacity building, and coordination, DAI’s
technical assistance will include identifying, piloting, and scaling new
workforce development approaches and innovations. The ultimate goal of USAID’s
inclusive workforce development work is to connect 200,000 poor and vulnerable
young Indonesians with learning and livelihood opportunities.
