EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

As the Indonesian economy continues to grow, so does economic inequality, with people living at or

below the poverty line at risk of being left behind. This condition is currently being exacerbated by the

COVID-19 pandemic, which has had a significant negative impact on the Indonesian economy, including

by reducing production capacity, consumption and investment levels. This condition can be seen not

only in Indonesia but also in almost all other countries around the world. In Indonesia itself, both formal

and informal sectors have faced unavoidable constraints, having to halt their activities – either

temporarily or permanently – due to unfavorable conditions.

Entrepreneurship offers a way out of poverty for poor and vulnerable (P&V) groups – it can help to

increase income, create new economic opportunities, not just for P&V people but for others in their

communities, and contribute to the broader Indonesian economy. JAPRI works with these groups to

develop, trial, and implement approaches to promote entrepreneurship. Since the onset of the global

COVID-19 pandemic, entrepreneurs have experienced significant challenges in conducting their business

activities because of large-scale social restrictions in almost all of JAPRI’s work areas. Activities that had

been planned for implementation with beneficiaries had to be postponed and redesigned. On one hand,

COVID-19 challenged JAPRI and the program timeline due to much of the work being shifted online.

On the other hand, the situation forced JAPRI to adapt and continue activities to support entrepreneurs

which was critical during difficult financial times.

JAPRI is currently implemented by a consortium led by the Institute of International Education (IIE), who

works with implementing partners Mien R. Uno Foundation (MRUF) and Himpunan Wanita Disabilitas

Indonesia (HWDI). Previous JAPRI implementing partners include Prestasi Junior Indonesia (PJI) and

Kelompok Perempuan dan Sumber-sumber Kehidupan (KPS2K). PJI concluded its activities under JAPRI

Full Implementation on April 30, 2021, while KPS2K completed its gender training activities and closed

its FAA with IIE on September 30, 2021. Outside of these implementing partners, JAPRI also works with

local governments, universities, community groups, and the private sector to identify potential P&V

participants who would benefit from entrepreneurship growth activities.

Between October 2020 and September 2021, JAPRI successfully implemented a series of key activities

in West Java, Central Java, and East Java to promote entrepreneurship and encourage the creation of

new businesses. JAPRI’s most significant results include successfully training 8,954 participants (84%

female participants), 1,497 of whom had started a new business, and 2,575 experienced an increase in

income. 3,402 of these participants came from from 5 universities that JAPRI had worked with in West

and East Java during the FY2021. Further details are included below:

Of the 3,402 youth who have completed trainings from JAPRI’s University partners, 71% were women

and 29% were men. From that number, 66 participants have experienced an increase in their income,

and 167 have experienced improvements in their businesses. To further increase JAPRI’s effort for

sustainability, 12 lecturers from Universitas Negeri Malang have also been provided JAPRI’s training of

trainers activity, and are now certified JAPRI trainers and are able to continue in using JAPRI’s approach

and learning module on their own.

Highlights of JAPRI's FY2021 achievements across all three program components are as follows:

Full Implementation Activities

• 1,785 youth had new businesses or improved businesses.

• 96 people from universities, community groups and local governments qualified as

entrepreneurship trainers and business coaches to assist and encourage youth to begin new

businesses or expand existing ones.

• 3,422 youth developed their entrepreneurial knowledge of how to develop and implement a

business plan.

• 333 youth accessed business mentoring and coaching, enabling them to start or grow their

business.

People with Disabilities (PWD) Activities

• 140 PWDs began new businesses.

• 500 PWDs experienced progress in their businesses after coaching sessions.

• 360 PWDs increased their business earnings.

• 784 PWDs improved their business skills after entrepreneurial training sessions.

• 100 individuals delivered training and coaching to PWD participants.

Women’s Economic Empowerment (WEE) Activities

• 745 women have begun new businesses.

• 573 women increased their business earnings.

• 1,787 women-owned microenterprises supported by USG assistance

• 1,791 women legalized their business.

• 87% male participants of gender equality trainings increased their levels of agreement with the

concept that men and women should have equal access to social, economic, and political

resources and opportunities.

• 81 people from universities, community groups and local governments qualified as

entrepreneurship trainers and business coaches.

• 4,705 women developed their entrepreneurial knowledge.

• 3,229 women improved their business development planning skills.

• 1,243 male beneficiaries were trained to become effective allies of women entrepreneurs.

One of JAPRI’s key achievements in FY2021 was its successful implementation of activities for people

with disabilities, in addition to continuing its other activities and achieving its targets for Full

Implementation and WEE during the worsening COVID-19 pandemic.

To answer the challenges posed by COVID-19 in the implementation of JAPRI activities, JAPRI created

new implementation strategies for both in-person and online delivery methods., as seen below:

• Health Protocols for In-person Activities- The in-person activities conducted were

primarily PWD entrepreneurship development activities; however, they still followed strict

health protocols. All in-person events required swab antigen tests before each activity, face

masks and hand sanitizer, and ideally spaced activity venues. The same protocols were followed

for WEE-focused activities.

• Accessible E-Learning- For online activities, JAPRI utilized the strategy it developed in FY20,

but further improved its e-learning videos by including sign language interpreters to make them

more accessible to people with disabilities.

• Coaching Video Calls- Coaching sessions were primarily conducted by video calls, rather

than over the phone. It is essential to conduct coaching sessions through video calls in order for

the coaches to assess the body language and other gestures of the participants. This approach

allowed the coaches to better adapt and understand the participants.

• Prioritization of Online Activities- All other activities (Training of Trainers, business

mentoring, and gender trainings) were also conducted online through Zoom or WhatsApp.

• Training Duration Adjustments- Adjustments to the duration of in-person activities were

also made. For example, the One Day Business Training was reduced from 8 hours to 6 hours

to ensure that participants were not overloaded, but effective training outcomes were still met.

RINGKASAN EKSEKUTIF

Ketika ekonomi Indonesia terus tumbuh, ketimpangan ekonomi juga meningkat dan penduduk yang

tinggal di dekat atau di bawah garis kemiskinan berisiko terancam tertinggal. Kondisi ini sedang diperparah

dengan adanya pandemi COVID-19, yang berdampak buruk terhadap ekonomi dan mengurangi kapasitas

produksi, konsumsi dan tingkat investasi. Kondisi ini tidak hanya terjadi di Indonesia tetapi juga hampir

di seluruh dunia. Di Indonesia sendiri, sektor formal maupun informal sangat terkendala, dan

mengakibatkan penghentian kegiatan – baik secara sementara maupun permanen – karena kondisi tidak

memungkinkan.

Kewirausahaan menawarkan jalan keluar dari kemiskinan bagi kelompok miskin dan rentan (P&V) – dapat

membantu meningkatkan pendapatan, menciptakan peluang ekonomi baru, tidak hanya bagi dirinya

sendiri tetapi juga bagi orang lain di komunitas mereka, dan berkontribusi pada perekonomian Indonesia

yang lebih luas. JAPRI bekerja dengan kelompok-kelompok ini untuk mengembangkan, menguji coba, dan

menerapkan pendekatan untuk mempromosikan kewirausahaan. Sejak merebaknya pandemi global

COVID-19, para pengusaha mengalami tantangan yang cukup berat dalam menjalankan kegiatan usahanya

karena adanya pembatasan sosial berskala besar di hampir seluruh wilayah kerja JAPRI. Kegiatan yang

telah direncanakan untuk dilaksanakan dengan penerima manfaat harus ditunda dan didesain ulang. Di

satu sisi, COVID-19 menantang JAPRI dan timeline program karena banyak pekerjaan yang dialihkan

secara online. Di sisi lain, situasi memaksa JAPRI untuk beradaptasi dan melanjutkan kegiatan untuk

mendukung pengusaha yang sangat penting selama masa keuangan yang sulit.

JAPRI saat ini dilaksanakan oleh konsorsium yang dipimpin oleh Institute of International Education (IIE),

yang bekerja sama dengan mitra pelaksana: Yayasan Mien R. Uno (MRUF), dan Himpunan Wanita

Disabilitas Indonesia (HWDI). Sementara mitra pelaksana sebelumnya seperti Prestasi Junior Indonesia

(PJI) telah menyelesaikan kegiatan mereka untuk implementasi penuh JAPRI pada 30 April 2021, dan

Kelompok Perempuan dan Sumber-Sumber Kehidupan (KPS2K), telah menyelesaikan kontribusi mereka

untuk kegiatan pelatihan gender JAPRI dan menutupnya FAA dengan IIE pada 30 September 2021. JAPRI

juga bekerja sama dengan pemerintah daerah, universitas, kelompok-kelompok masyarakat, dan sektor

swasta untuk mengidentifikasi calon peserta P&V yang akan mendapat manfaat dari kegiatan pertumbuhan

kewirausahaan.

Sejak Oktober 2020 hingga September 2021, JAPRI telah menyelesaikan serangkaian kegiatan kunci di

Jawa Barat, Jawa Tengah, dan Jawa Timur untuk mempromosikan pengembangan kewirausahaan dan

mendukung pengembangan usaha dan lahirnya usaha baru. Pencapaian JAPRI yang paling penting dalam

periode ini termasuk diantaranya adalah; berhasil melatih 8,954 peserta (84% adalah peserta perempuan),

1,497 diantaranya telah memulai usaha baru, dan 2,575 mengalami peningkatan pendapatan. Detail

capaian JAPRI dalam periode ini adalah sebagai berikut:

3.402 peserta dari total peserta JAPRI di FY21 berasal dari 5 perguruan tinggi yang bekerja sama dengan

JAPRI di Jawa Barat dan Jawa Timur. Rinciannya adalah:

Dari 3.402 pemuda yang telah menyelesaikan pelatihan dari Universitas-universitas tersebut, 71% nya

adalah perempuan dan 29% nya adalah laki-laki. Dari jumlah tersebut, 66 peserta mengalami peningkatan

pendapatan, dan 167 peserta mengalami peningkatan dalam usahanya.

Untuk lebih meningkatkan upaya JAPRI untuk keberlanjutan, 12 dosen dari Universitas Negeri Malang

juga telah diberikan kegiatan pelatihan untuk pelatih JAPRI, dan sekarang menjadi pelatih JAPRI

bersertifikat dan dapat terus menggunakan pendekatan dan modul pembelajaran JAPRI secara mandiri.

Kegiatan Full Implementation

• 1,785 anak muda memulai usaha baru atau memiliki usaha yang lebih baik.

• 96 orang dari universitas, komunitas, dan staf pemerintah daerah memiliki kapasitas sebagai

pelatih kewirausahaan (entrepreneurship trainers) dan sebagai pendamping usaha (business coaches)

untuk membantu [tambahkan objektif].

• 3,422 anak muda memiliki pengetahuan tentang usaha yang akan membantu mereka membuat

rencana bisnis.

• 333 anak muda memiliki akses terhadap pendampingan dan pembinaan usaha yang akan

membantu mereka untuk memulai atau meningkatkan usaha.

Kegiatan People with Disabilities (PWD)

rencana bisnis.

• 1,243 laki-laki penerima manfaat mendapatkan pelatihan untuk menjadi mitra yang sejajar bagi

perempuan pengusaha.

Salah satu kunci keberhasilan JAPRI selama pelaksanaan proyek untuk periode tahun anggaran 21 adalah

terlaksananya kegiatan penyandang disabilitas, serta kemampuan program untuk tetap melanjutkan

kegiatan secara keseluruhan dan mencapai targetnya walaupun dalam kondisi pandemi COVID-19 yang

menyulitkan.

Untuk menjawab tantangan COVID-19 dalam pelaksanaan kegiatan yang berfokus pada penyandang

disabilitas JAPRI, JAPRI membuat strategi implementasi baru sebagai berikut:

1. Kegiatan JAPRI disesuaikan dengan metode penyampaian baik tatap muka maupun daring.

Kegiatan tatap muka terutama difokuskan pada kegiatan pengembangan kewirausahaan

penyandang disabilitas dengan tetap mengikuti protokol kesehatan yang ketat (seperti melakukan

tes swab antigen sebelum setiap kegiatan, menyediakan masker dan pembersih tangan, serta

memastikan tempat kegiatan dengan jarak yang ideal). Demikian juga untuk kegiatan WEE.

Sedangkan untuk kegiatan daring, JAPRI masih menggunakan strategi yang digunakan pada

tahunan anggaran 20 dengan memperbaiki video e-learning JAPRI agar ada penerjemah bahasa

isyarat sehingga lebih mudah diakses oleh peserta penyandang disabilitas.

2. Penyesuaian untuk coaching, di mana sesi dilakukan melaluipanggilan video. Sangat penting untuk

melakukan sesi pelatihan melalui panggilan video, agar para pelatih dapat menilai bahasa tubuh

dan gerak tubuh lainnya dari para peserta.

3. Seluruh kegiatan lainnya (training of trainers, business mentoring, dan gender training) juga

dilakukan secara online melalui Zoom atau WhatsApp.

4. Penyesuaian durasi kegiatan tatap muka juga dilakukan, seperti pelatihan bisnis satu hari, yang

waktu pelaksanaan dikurnagi dari 8 jam menjadi 6 jam dengan tetap menjaga fokus pelatihan

disampaikan secara efektif.

I. Project Overview

JAdi Pengusaha MandiRI (Become an Independent Entrepreneur, or JAPRI) is a USAID-funded project

to improve work opportunities by creating self-employment through entrepreneurship for poor and

vulnerable (P&V) individuals (youth ages 18 to 30, women, and persons with disabilities). JAPRI leverages

and tailors existing entrepreneurship resources to develop, test, and scale an approach to promoting

entrepreneurship among P&V individuals. To identify potential successful entrepreneurs, JAPRI first

works with relevant local governments, community groups, and universities. Once participants are

selected, JAPRI focuses on increasing the interest of participants in entrepreneurship through a Business

Motivation Workshop. After interest is demonstrated, JAPRI delivers Entrepreneurship Training or a

One-Day Training. Entrepreneurship Trainings are delivered by certified trainers who have completed

JAPRI’s Training of Trainers, while One-Day Trainings are delivered by JAPRI to participants who already

have a business or are about to start a business.

Part of JAPRI’s unique approach is found in its emphasis on business mentoring and coaching as follow-

on activities after the initial training has taken place. Business mentoring is delivered by successful

business owners who inspire participants by sharing experience, tips, and tricks in their trades. Business

coaching is delivered by certified coaches who have completed JAPRI’s Training of Coaches. Coaches

help participants set targets for their businesses and find ways to address challenges. Business mentoring

and coaching accelerate self-employment through entrepreneurship because they help promote

participants’ confidence and provide a support system for entrepreneurs. They directly contribute to

the creation and improvement of businesses.

Under JAPRI’s Full Implementation activities, which concluded in March 2021, activities were

implemented by a consortium led by IIE in collaboration with implementing partners PJI and Mien R.

Uno Foundation (MRUF). The consortium offered entrepreneurship expertise; a proven ability to work

directly with P&V youth in Indonesia; and networks of local governments, universities, and successful

youth entrepreneurs. JAPRI also collaborated with local governments and universities to identify

potential P&V youth and leverage the knowledge of youth representatives to ensure a youth-friendly

entrepreneurship module. Lastly, to increase the effectiveness and sustainability of promoting

entrepreneurship among youth, JAPRI also engaged with the private sector, such agri-businesses and as

financial institutions that will potentially support the participants’ needs for capital.

In 2019, the Women’s Global Development and Prosperity initiative (now referred to as Women’s

Economic Empowerment) awarded additional funding to JAPRI to support activities focusing on women

in East Java (Objective 3). Building on JAPRI’s previous work conducted in the Trenggalek and Blitar

districts, JAPRI expanded the work to focus on increasing women-owned businesses. JAPRI also

recognized that an empowering environment at home must be present for women to successfully run

their own businesses. Therefore, JAPRI also includes activities that focused on including men in the

conversation and encouraging them to share the domestic responsibilities at home. For WEE activities,

JAPRI leveraged the technical expertise of Kelompok Perempuan dan Sumber-Sumber

Kehidupan/Women's Groups and Sources of Life (KPS2K) as well as MRUF. KPS2K is based in Sidoarjo,

East Java, and supported the gender components in the existing JAPRI module and conducted gender

training for new stakeholders.

In July 2020, JAPRI also received additional funding to incorporate the Employment and Economic

Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities (PWD) Program into its activities in East Java. For this

activity, JAPRI is leveraging the technical expertise of Himpunan Wanita Disabilitas

Indonesia/Community of Women with Disabilities in Indonesia (HWDI), a local Disabled Persons’

Organization whose members are women that are visually impaired, hearing impaired, and/or mute.

The organization was founded in 1997 in response to the need to provide protection to women with

disabilities who are often double-marginalized. HWDI is a centralized association with branches in 34

provinces in Indonesia and sub-branches in 15 districts in East Java. HWDI is the main partner for

conducting JAPRI activities for persons with disabilities. This program builds on JAPRI’s experience and

relationships developed while working in Trenggalek and Blitar during Full Implementation and WEE

activities. EEE activities also support Objective 1 and 2 of JAPRI’s Results Framework.

Theory of Change

The theory of change underpinning JAPRI is that if P&V individuals are empowered to start and/or grow

businesses and the capacity of local stakeholders to provide entrepreneurs with ongoing support is

strengthened, then work opportunities will be improved.

JAPRI will achieve its goal through the following objectives:

Objective 1: JAPRI will empower P&V individuals to start and/or grow businesses through an

increase in 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

entrepreneurs with ongoing support through increased commitment and readiness of

stakeholders to adopt the JAPRI model

Objective 3: JAPRI will empower women to access economic opportunities through increased

basic entrepreneurship skills and strengthen the support system for women in business

These objectives will be achieved through the Results Framework below:

Complete definition and measurement for each sub-IR and IR is presented in the Monitoring, Evaluation,

and Learning (MEL) section of this report. JAPRI’s definition of individuals are young men and women

aged 18-30 years old, women of all ages, and PWDs.

JAPRI Model / Learning Process Diagram to Self-Employment/Entrepreneurship

During the pilot phase, JAPRI developed a model or learning process (pathway) to help stakeholders

understand the JAPRI approach in entrepreneurship development. This is a sequence of activities to

achieve JAPRI’s goal: work opportunities improved through self-employment/entrepreneurship that are

demonstrated by new or better business. In November 2018, this model was adjusted to better align

with the revised program description and to reflect changes in the implementation strategy.

II. Key Program Administration and Activities

A. Program Administration

JAPRI Adaptation to the COVID-19 Pandemic

COVID-19 continued to be a global force to be reckoned with throughout FY2021. During the first

quarter, JAPRI implemented most of its activities virtually and staff continued working remotely as the

government mandated large-scale social restrictions. The one exception during this time was the JAPRI

PWD needs assessment, which required in-person interviews, for which JAPRI took careful precautions

based on GOI regulations to mitigate the spread of the virus.

By February 2021, government restrictions eased, and the program began to implement in-person

activities, primarily for its JAPRI PWD component. It was crucial to conduct these activities in person,

as they largely require in-person facilitation to accommodate the participants’ needs. Though staff still

largely worked remotely, they conducted limited in-person activities and program monitoring through

April 2021, as parts of East Java were low-medium risk and were open for limited in-person activities.

However, COVID-19 cases increased after the Eid holiday in May, followed by a major spike in June and

July due to the arrival of the more contagious Delta variant of the virus. Many IIE, MRUF, KPS2K, and

HWDI staff became infected with COVID-19, and beginning in July, the GOI placed Java under

emergency lockdown. This lockdown lasted (in various forms depending on location) through September

2021. JAPRI’s consortium members’ staff returned to remote work and postponed any in-person

monitoring and project activities.

For WEE, most of the activities had remained virtual so this adjustment did not substantially impact the

component. The lockdown more so impacted PWD activities since the trainers and coaches, the

majority of whom are persons with disabilities, and the participants, rely strongly on in-person

interactions in order to effectively conduct the activities. In July 2021, HWDI began shifting its coaching

and entrepreneurship trainings online. However, without additional support in place for the participants,

only select PWDs were able to join the online activities:

• Physically Disabled – Could join online training without additional tools

• Vision Impairment (low vision or blind) – Could join online training with additional support,

i.e. audio features

• Hearing Impairment (deaf or mute) – Could join online training with additional support, i.e.

• Mentally Disabled (bipolar, autism, hyperactive) – Could not join online training as they

required an aide teacher

• Intellectually Disabled (down syndrome or growth delay) – Could not join online training as

they required an aide teacher

IIE and HWDI worked closely together to conduct contingency planning for the possibility of an

extended government shutdown and restructured activities as necessary. By September 2021,

restrictions once again began to ease as COVID-19 cases decreased and HWDI returned to in-person

activities. However, moving forward, JAPRI is continuing to enforce strict travel and activity protocols,

which includes COVID-19 testing for all participants, trainers, and staff.

HWDI

At the beginning of FY2021, IIE alongside HWDI launched the JAPRI PWD component. As HWDI was

a new subrecipient and unfamiliar with USAID policies and procedures, the two organizations worked

together over the next year to both design and implement PWD activities while building the capacity of

HWDI in areas such as financial management, travel, procurement, and human resources. IIE developed

a subrecipient monitoring plan as a tool to monitor HWDI’s progress in program administration and

program activities, while it also supported HWDI in conducting recruitment for Surabaya-based staff.

Four staff (Project Director, MEL Officer, Finance and Administration Supervisor, and Finance and

Administration Officer) were identified and will be onboarded in October 2020. IIE continued its efforts

throughout the year to provide assistance and capacity building to HWDI, focusing primarily on the

following:

● Assistance in ensuring that HWDI’s standard operating procedures (finance and administration)

are up-to-speed so that HWDI can comply with JAPRI’s administrative requirements and

increase its burn rate.

● Strategic planning of key activities for JAPRI PWD. IIE conducted routine coordination meetings

and ad hoc calls with HWDI’s program management team to help provide guidance and inputs

that will ensure the planned activities are implemented effectively.

● Continued finance management assistance and training on QuickBooks, an accounting software

that will enable HWDI to report and document finances in a more organized manner with

minimum errors.

● Hosting and introducing HWDI to stakeholders that are relevant in the implementation of its

activities on the field, particularly local governments.

● Continuing capacity-building activities for HWDI’s JAPRI project key staffing in the use of JAPRI’s

MEL tools, which will ensure that HWDI accurately captures and measures effective project

activities.

● Assistance in engaging stakeholders for the purpose of increasing the reach of JAPRI PWD’s

activities in East Java.

● Assistance for the Project Director in the implementation process, strategy, introduction to

stakeholders, financial components, and overall details of JAPRI PWD.

Ultimately this approach has led to the fostering of a collaborative relationship, one in which HWDI has

been able to launch and implement activities within a short period of time amidst continued government

lockdowns, while achieving its program targets.

Completion of JAPRI Full Implementation Activities

PJI and MRUF successfully completed their activities for JAPRI Full Implementation in FY2021. As JAPRI

Full Implementation activities drew to a close in the spring of 2021, IIE began conducting subrecipient

close-out procedures with its implementing partner PJI. IIE provided PJI with a formal close-out notice

and guidelines in February 2021 and PJI began closing its activities in March 2021, concluding

implementation on April 30, 2021. PJI submitted its final invoice to IIE in May 2021 and both parties

signed the subrecipient release form, which formally closed the subagreement, in July 2021.

MRUF completed its activities for JAPRI Full Implementation in December 2020 but continued

implementation for JAPRI WEE throughout the fiscal year. In June 2021, IIE also modified its cost-

reimbursable subagreement with MRUF. The modification extended MRUF’s period of performance

from September 30, 2021, to January 31, 2022 and increased the level of obligation. Since MRUF had

experienced implementation challenges due to COVID-19 and faced delays in reaching its targets for

WEE, this modification provided MRUF with additional time and appropriate funds to effectively

implement its activities and achieve its remaining targets.

KPS2K

In April 2021, IIE modified its Fixed Amount Award (FAA) with KPS2K in order to adjust the milestone

targets and timelines. It did not modify the total award amount. KPS2K had experienced implementation

delays due to the increase in COVID-19 cases and the government’s subsequent decision to enforce

stronger restrictions on public activities. Accordingly, IIE and KPS2K agreed to adjust activities during

FY21 Q2. This modification allowed KPS2K to ramp up activities over the remaining months of its FAA

with IIE, including expanding its gender training activities to include male participants in JAPRI’s PWD

activities. KPS2K’s original responsibility had been to deliver gender trainings for the family member or

spouse of the WEE participants. As the working areas of JAPRI WEE and PWD are similar, there was

a growing interest from PWD stakeholders to benefit from the KPS2K’s gender training. Accordingly,

KPS2K began supporting JAPRI PWD’s Training of Trainers and Training of Coaches and continued

delivering gender trainings for the family members or spouses of the PWD participants through the end

of the fiscal year.

Lastly, IIE closed its FAA with KPS2K on September 30, 2021. IIE presented KPS2K with a formal close-

out notice and guidelines in August 2021 and KPS2K finished program activities on September 15, 2021.

Once the final milestone was verified, IIE paid the final invoice for the subagreement. The subrecipient

release will be signed at the beginning of FY2022.

Program Consultants

In October 2020, JAPRI onboarded a Finance Consultant to support the PWD component, particularly

to aid HWDI in a capacity-building role. This consultant has helped HWDI in standardizing its internal

mechanisms and implementing the QuickBooks accounting system. The scope of work for the consultant

Annual Report FY21

Cooperative Agreement No. AID-497-A-17-00005

JAdi Pengusaha MandiRI (JAPRI) Program

15

includes, but is not limited to, the following:

• Installing and setting up QuickBooks, an accounting software package, within HWDI

• Training HWDI staff how to use QuickBooks accounting software

• Assisting HWDI in setting PWD procurement processes per IIE and USG standards

• Helping HWDI preparing cash advance request to IIE

• Assisting HWDI in preparing invoice to IIE, checking the completeness of supporting documents,

and helping HWDI in preparing control accounts

• Aiding HWDI in reconciling its books with IIE

In December 2020, JAPRI’s Communication Consultant resigned and completed the handover process

with the IIE team. IIE was able to quickly identify a replacement due to the competitive procurement

process that it had previously conducted for the position in February 2020. One of the top candidates

that IIE had identified at that time was still available for the position and IIE onboarded the new consultant

in January 2021. The consultant is responsible for the continuation of the following communication

activities:

• Designing and preparing communications materials, including supporting the development of

success stories (lay out, design and content).

• Producing promotional materials for events and program activities, including brochures, leaflets,

and other publications as necessary.

• Ensuring all communication materials are following USAID’s marking and branding requirements.

• Executing the outreach plan in coordination with PJI, MRUF, KPS2K, HWDI and stakeholders,

including collecting and disseminating participants’ stories before and after JAPRI activities

Full Implementation - Activity 1.1.1. One Day Business Training and Entrepreneurship Training

The ODBT is designed to provide technical guidance for participants on how to develop business plan

proposals for new business or expansion ideas. Facilitators use an interactive method where they are

required to adapt their material to the participants’ level of knowledge (participants are expected to

already have a business or at least be in the early stages of starting a business). For participants who

already have businesses, JAPRI aims to help them create plans to improve their businesses. For those

who are in the early stages (e.g. have business ideas), JAPRI provides assistance for them to be able to

create a business plan. JAPRI uses the business model canvas as a simple visual tool to help the

participants in creating business plans. Using this approach, the trainers can adjust the materials

accordingly and focus on providing what is truly needed by the participants. During the training,

participants engage in practice-based activities, directly putting to use the lessons received in exercises,

which are directly measured by JAPRI.

An ET is a training activity aimed to provide technical guidance for participants through supporting them

in developing business plan proposals for their business ideas. These business plans help participants

identify and make decisions regarding each of their business activities. ETs include topics such as

production, marketing and financial planning. Participants are introduced to the concept of Business

Model Canvass that will help them shaping their business and later on can be used to present their

business to potential investors or lending institutions.

Goal: P&V youth work opportunities improved through entrepreneurship

Online ODBT – Universitas Negeri Malang and STKIP PGRI Trenggalek

During FY 21, JAPRI held its ODBT activities online. JAPRI made the decision to use an online method

since COVID-19 cases were still high, community restrictions were still enforced by the government of

Indonesia, and university students were still learning from home. To deliver the material, JAPRI used a

mix of the e-learning platform and Zoom meetings.

The ODBT at UM was delivered to the Faculty of Economics and was available online from October 6

to December 24, 2020. A total of 60 people participated in the training. At STKIP PGRI Trenggalek, the

activity was available from October 8 to December 5, 2020, and was open for all students from all

faculties at STKIP PGRI Trenggalek. A total of 52 students participated in the activity.

The ODBT activities were opened by Dr. Hadi Sumarsono, S.T., M.Si., as the Vice Dean III of Faculty of

Economics UM and Dr. Dwi Kuncorowati, M.Pd, as the Head of STKIP PGRI Trenggalek. Mr. Hadi

explained the importance of starting a business right now because small and medium enterprises will

have the ability to survive through difficult situations like the COVID-19 pandemic. Mr. Hadi also

explained that everyone can become business actors, including students. The UM Faculty of Economics

will always support students to run businesses and equip students through learning curriculas related to

entrepreneurship. Mr. Hadi also expressed his appreciation to JAPRI for collaborating with them in

efforts to develop student entrepreneurs, while Dr. Dwi hoped that through JAPRI’s ODBT, the

students could gain as much knowledge as possible and be able to translate that knowledge into practice

in their businesses.

Online Entrepreneurship Training – Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia and Universitas Trunojoyo

Madura

In FY21, a total of 22 lecturers from UPI’s Main Campus, UPI Cibiru, and UPI Tasikmalaya taught JAPRI’s

entrepreneurship module to 1,637 students. Meanwhile, 6 lecturers at UTM taught 15 classes with 599

enrolled students in total. Compared to last year, there were no variations of classes this semester, as

all lecturers specifically taught JAPRI’s module in their entrepreneurship courses. A summary for ETs at

both universities is provided below:

People with Disabilities- Activity 1.1.1. Needs Assessment

In FY21, JAPRI conducted a needs assessment to determine the needs of PWDs in economic activities.

A needs assessment was essential for JAPRI to ensure the full and effective participation of people with

disabilities in starting and/or developing their businesses. The results from the needs assessment mapped

potential participants, their disabilities, target areas, business interests (needs and challenges), existing

support systems, and gender disparity. The data obtained from the needs assessment also helped JAPRI

to prepare working plans to adjust the entrepreneurship module, to develop training methods, schedule

activities amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, and to determine support systems and reasonable

accommodation needed by persons with disabilities, such as sign language interpreters, braille, and

accessible and spacious training venues. The assessment used three methods of data collection:

• Desk research/Secondary data research: JAPRI leveraged secondary data analysis to

develop a baseline for the needs assessment.

• Key informant interviews: Information was gathered through survey questionnaires to assess

the current condition of potential PWD participants in JAPRI’s target areas.

• Focus group discussions: JAPRI gathered qualitative data through informal discussions.

The needs assessment was conducted from October 16 to November 30, 2020, in several phases,

which consisted of:

• Preparation phase: tools and survey method development

• Implementation

• Analysis of the report.

The needs assessment was mixed methods, meaning it used both quantitative and qualitative tools. For

quantitative methods, the needs assessment used online surveys to obtain PWDs’ personal information,

interest and experience in business, financial accessibility at formal and non-formal institutions at the

local level, and accessibility to information, communication, and technology (ICT) considering movement

restrictions during COVID-19. For qualitative methods, it used in-depth interviews to obtain deeper

information regarding the experience and interest of people with disabilities who want to start a business

or increase their business’ income.

Below are key findings from the PWD needs assessment:

• A total of 402 PWD respondents participated in the online survey. 58% respondents were

women and 42% were men.

• Respondents had a variety of different abilities, including physical disabilities (44%), hearing

impairments (33%), visual impairments (12%), intellectual disabilities (4%), other disabilities (7%),

and multiple disabilities (under 1%).

• The 402 respondents were from Blitar (26%), Trenggalek (25%), Kediri (18%), Surabaya (12%),

Malang (9%), Sidoarjo (8%), and Tulungagung (2%).

• Respondents were aged between 18 and over 60, with the breakdown as follows: 18-20 years

old (8%), 20-29 years old (18%), 30-39 years old (25%), 40-49 years old (36%), 50-59 years old

(11%), and above 60 years old (2%).

• 49% respondents already had a business and 51% did not have a business at the time of the

assessment. Of respondents with existing businesses, as many as 40% respondents have business

in retail and trade, 18% in services, 3% in culinary, 1% in agriculture or plantation, and other

types of business about 38% respondents.

• 373 respondents (93%) expressed their interest in joining the JAPRI PWD program. Among

them, 24% hoped to access capital; 23% hoped to gain entrepreneurial motivation; 21% wished

to improve their entrepreneurial skills; 21% wished to learn how to start a business; and 11%

wanted information on financial services.

• Of the 402 respondents, 23 respondents participated in in-depth interviews regarding their

interests and experience in business. Of these 23, 43% had physical disabilities, 22% had hearing

impairments, 17% had visual impairments, 9% had intellectual disabilities, and 9% were parents

of children with disabilities. As many as 78% respondents had participated in entrepreneurial

activities and training skills before, but 22% respondents had no experience at all in

entrepreneurship and skills training.

The above assessment results led to the following analysis and conclusions:

• Respondents had a wide variety of different disabilities, and broad consensus was visible on a

number of issues. Almost all respondents said they hoped JAPRI could take part in promoting

the human rights of PWDs and inclusive approaches that welcome PWDs’ participation in

activities. This is useful for JAPRI to ensure it prepares and provides reasonable accommodation

for people with different kinds of disabilities. For instance, that includes but is not limited to sign

language interpreters, braille, wheelchair access, spacious venues and meeting rooms, sufficient

break times, module adaptation, and adapted ways of interaction and communication in activities.

• Survey participants were mostly aged between 20 and 49 years old. They will be encouraged to

participate in JAPRI’s PWD program as long as they are over 18, productive, and can commit to

participate until 2022. Participants under 18 years of age are not allowed to participate in the

JAPRI PWD program as they are categorized as children under Indonesian Law No.35/2014 on

Child Protection.

• As reflected in the online survey, the 49% of respondents have a business and 51% do not have

a business. Both groups need entrepreneurial training, so the JAPRI PWD program welcomed

both kinds of participants in the training program so that they could start a business or increase

their business income.

• Ninety-three percent of respondents were interested in joining the JAPRI PWD program. Their

expectations are to gain capital, entrepreneurial motivation, skills, knowledge on starting

business, and financial services. The needs assessment concluded that these areas of expectation

can be accommodated in JAPRI PWD training programs and modules with assistance from

mentors, coaches, and master trainers. JAPRI PWD activities consist of disability perspective

and interaction training, entrepreneurship training, training of trainers, training of coach,

business motivation workshop, mentoring, coaching, business model canvas, seed funding, and

exhibition.

People with Disabilities- Activity 1.1.2. JAPRI Entrepreneurship Module Adaptation to PWD

needs

JAPRI had previously developed training modules for JAPRI Full Implementation and WEE initiatives.

With the newly broadened scope for JAPRI to target people with disabilities, JAPRI needed to strengthen

its modules to ensure PWD needs and desires were accommodated. The adaptation of the modules

considered the following necessities:

• Inclusive and equal participation for people with disabilities as enshrined in the Law No.8/2016

on the Rights of People with Disabilities and United Nations Convention on the Rights of

Persons with Disabilities (CRPD).

• JAPRI PWD program aims to support the broad participation of people with disabilities in the

program.

• Ensure accessibility and reasonable accommodations for participants with disabilities so that

they will enthusiastically join the program and feel assured they will be able to participate fully

and equally.

In order to facilitate reasonable accommodations and accessibility for participants with disabilities, JAPRI

established a module adaptation team composed of experts from a variety of disability backgrounds.

These experts are essential to ensure that their respective disabilities will be able to use the modules

independently without any barriers. The experts were representatives from well-known and trusted

advocates from international and Indonesian PWD organizations. Lastly, the JAPRI PWD team hired an

editor to incorporate all inputs from the five experts as the draft JAPRI PWD module. The module

adaptation experts were as followed:

The module adaptation took place from the first week of October through the fourth week of December

2020. New components were added to the training module, including inclusive facilitation in Annex 9

and interaction with various types of disabilities in Annex 11 within the ToT module. Also, Chapter 9

on Entrepreneurship and Disabilities and Chapter 10 on Inspirational Stories from JAPRI and People

with Disabilities are also included in the participants’ modules.

To ensure modules are accessible, JAPRI produced the adapted modules into different formats such as

printed braille and audiobooks. The modules were then be distributed by JAPRI PWD’s field officers

directly to the participants.

People with Disabilities- Activity 1.1.3. Business Motivation Workshop

JAPRI’s BMW activity is designed to introduce PWD participants to a business mindset, increase their

interest in entrepreneurship, identify their potential, and develop business ideas in accordance with

current and potential market opportunities. This activity is important because it has been proven to be

able to reach participants who are not yet running their own businesses and perhaps have not even

considered the possibility of having JAPRI activities provide basic soft skills that will motivate them in

establishing and running a business. Upon completion of this workshop, participants should have a

business idea of their own. BMW is especially important for marginalized groups such as PWDs who

require additional support to overcome social barriers that discourage or even prevent them from

establishing their own businesses.

In FY21, a total of 494 PWD participants participated in BMWs, leading to increased interest in

entrepreneurship and the development of new business ideas. BMWs are one-day events utilizing games

and experiential learning methods. Participants also received inspirational and motivational insights in

becoming independent entrepreneurs from local PWD entrepreneurs. JAPRI invites business coaches

for each workshop to have the same experiments with the participants. Upon the completion of the

workshop, participants are able to present their business ideas. BMW activities include:

• Individual self-confidence building

• Teamwork

• Pitching your business

• Creative/adaptive thinking.

The most interactive session in the BMW is when the participants play a game to internalize teamwork.

Participants were guided to play the “Let’s build a tower” game in a group and work together to build a

tower taller than the other groups’ using straws within 30 minutes. The tallest and strongest tower

made by a group wins the game.

Being able to present and pitch their business is also part of the BMW goal for participants. To

accomplish this, the participants were asked to create posters and pitch their product or services to

their peers. In the posters and pitch, the participants were guided to be as creative and be as eloquent

as possible to talk about their product’s advantage over other products and why consumers should buy

their goods or use their services.

Business Motivation Workshop - Surabaya

In the first week of September 2021, JAPRI PWD implemented two batches of BMW activities. The first

batch was held on September 1, 2021, and the second batch on September 2, 2021. The activities were

held in collaboration with the East Java Social Department Office at the Coordinating Agency for Social

Welfare Activities Meeting Room, Surabaya, 09.00-15.30 each day. Participants in the business

motivation workshop were PWDs aged between 18 and 60 years old, residing in Surabaya and Sidoarjo,

and had previously attended JAPRI’s entrepreneurship training and coaching activities. There were 77

participants across the two batches.

Directly after the BMW implementation in Surabaya, JAPRI moved to Trenggalek to implement another

two batches. The first batch was held on September 4, 2021, and the second on September 5, 2021.

Both were held at the Bukit Jaas Hotel Meeting Room, Trenggalek, from 09.00 to 15.30 each day. A total

of 106 PWDs participated in the Trenggalek BMW activities.

Business Motivation Workshop - Blitar

In the fourth week of September 2021, JAPRI implemented two batches of the one-day BMW in Blitar.

The first batch was held on September 24, 2021, and the second on September 25, 2021. Both were

held at Kampung Coklat Meeting Room, Blitar, 09.00-15.30 each day. There was a total of 115

participants over the two days.

Business Motivation Workshop - Kediri

In the fifth week of September 2021, JAPRI implemented two more BMWs, this time in Kediri. The first

batch was held on September 27, 2021, and the second on September 28, 2021. Both were held at

Grand Surya Hotel Meeting Room, Kediri, 09.00-15.30 each day. A total of 95 participants took part.

total of 101 participants attended the final two BMW batches.

Sub Intermediate Result 1.2. P&V youth access to business coaching and

mentoring services improved

Full Implementation- Activity 1.2.1. Coaching & Mentoring

To further facilitate the delivery of quality entrepreneurial development support to P&V youth, JAPRI

conducted C&M activities. While both activities are focused on specific areas of entrepreneurial

knowledge, the approach method differs between the two activities.

Coaching is a one-on-one activity that provides specific assistance by JAPRI business coaches directly to

P&V youths to enable them to resolve unique challenges in starting businesses, increase their

entrepreneurial mindset and identify business opportunities. Coaches are required to deliver at least

three coaching sessions to the coachee and are not encouraged to provide direct answers to problems

faced by the coachee. Instead, coaches facilitated by asking multiple questions to youth in order to find

answers for their business challenges. Upon the completion of the coaching sessions, youth were able

to start a business or show progress of their business.

Mentoring is a classroom activity facilitated by a local business practitioner or professional to provide

youth with specific business development knowledge. It is designed as a mechanism to connect a more

experienced entrepreneur who can help beneficiaries through various methods, such as knowledge-

sharing and providing real examples of business development processes. Upon the completion of the

mentoring session, the youth have a broadened perspective in business whether it be in marketing,

financial management, or other technical skills. As a result, youth were able to adapt new knowledge for

their businesses.

Coaching

During FY21, JAPRI coached through two methods: in-person and online. JAPRI used the in-person

method before the COVID-19 outbreak, while the online method was used during upticks in the

pandemic. For online coaching, JAPRI used WhatsApp video and voice calls.

Online Business Coaching Clinic

JAPRI organized a series of Business Coaching Clinics in East Java in collaboration with Cocodev

(Coaching Community for Development), a voluntary group of trained coaches from Coaching

Indonesia. BCCs were originally designed as one-on-one in-person activities, but due to COVID-19, the

clinic sessions were implemented using a mix of in-person meetings, WhatsApp video calls, WhatsApp

voice calls, and phone calls.

In FY21, JAPRI held BCC sessions between October and December 2020, engaging students from STKIP

PGRI Trenggalek and students from Universitas Negeri Malang. The six BCC sessions were conducted

fully using online delivery methods. From the BCC sessions JAPRI have successfully reached 124 students

from the two universities the activity is implemented in.

Online Business Coaching Clinic- Universitas Negeri Malang

JAPRI reached a total of 42 participants from an online BCC activity for students from Universitas Negeri

Malang. In general, JAPRI did not find challenges that are usually caused by slow internet connections

from the participants. Rather, JAPRI found it challenging to set the schedule to deliver the sessions

because the participants repeatedly shifted their availability. This made it quite difficult for JAPRI to

ensure participants’ and Cocodev’s business coaches’ schedules fit. To assist, two of JAPRI’s master

coaches stood by and were prepared to become facilitators if the business coaches's schedule did not

match the new schedule proposed by the participants.

The first BCC activity for the Faculty of Economics UM was conducted over 6 days between November

9 and14, 2020. Held between 09.00 –and18.00 WIB, with a total of 21 students participating. This activity

was supported by 5 professional coaches from Cocodev: Edy Liustanto, Daniel Kurniawan, Noer

Tjahyawati, Suwito and Andi Harnas, and two JAPRI master coaches.

The second BCC activity for the Faculty of Economics UM was conducted also over 6 days, between

December 9 and 14, 2020. Held between 09.00 and 18.00 WIB, another 21 participants took part. The

2nd BCC was supported by 6 professional coaches. Four volunteer coaches from Cocodev and two

JAPRI master coaches.

Online Business Coaching Clinic)– STKIP PGRI Trenggalek

The first BCC for STKIP PGRI Trenggalek was conducted over 12 days, between October 26 and

November 6, 2020, from 09.00 – 18.00 WIB each day. A total of 43 participants took part. This activity

was supported by 6 professional coaches. Four volunteer coaches from Cocodev and two JAPRI master

coaches.

The second BCC for STKIP PGRI Trenggalek was conducted over 9 days, from November 26 until

December 4, 2020, from 09.00 – 18.00 WIB, with a total of 39 participants. This activity was supported

by 7 professional coaches. Five volunteer coaches from Cocodev and two JAPRI master coaches.

Mentoring

JAPRI held a number of mentoring activities in FY21 for students participating in entrepreneurship

courses at JAPRI’s university partners and participants from local business communities. The online

mentoring activities took place from October 2020 until September 2021 via JAPRI’s e-learning website,

hosted by MRUF, and through the use of online meeting applications like Zoom.

JAPRI’s business mentoring sessions aimed to connect the participants with established business actors

that can provide them insight based on their experiences that is relevant to what the participants are

going through in their business development efforts. JAPRI invited business mentors from various

business sectors and specific areas of expertise. The objectives of mentoring session are:

1. Equipping participants with the basic concepts of entrepreneurship that are applicable to sharpen

their business strategies.

2. Participants can connect the elements in a business, know the function of the relationships

between these elements, so they are able to make strategies to make the business more

developed and sustainable.

Throughout its implementation in FY21, JAPRI have successfully reached 333 participants and engaged

them in the business mentoring activity.

Online Business Mentoring – Universitas Negeri Surabaya

JAPRI held an online business mentoring for students at UNESA on digital marketing. The activity was

delivered by Femmy Triandina, an expert on digital marketing, and assisted by a JAPRI coach as a co-

facilitator. The online mentoring went for four days on October 5-9, 2020, with 1,044 participants.

Business mentoring for UNESA students encountered a unique but very positive challenge. The

participants were highly active and showed a great level of commitment, which can be seen by them

being on time for the activities and engaging actively during the session. Because of this, JAPRI had a bit

of difficulty managing time, due to the participants actively discussing, providing feedback, and asking

questions. To manage this, JAPRI had to be proactive in keeping time so that the session didn’t go for

too long.

As a result of the mentoring, the participants were able to get a better understanding on digital

marketing, specifically on understanding the features on an online shop, social media marketing

strategies, and how to create a business plan that is minimal in cost but productive using online channels.

Online Business Mentoring – Universitas Negeri Malang and STKIP PGRI Trenggalek

JAPRI also held business mentoring activites on digital marketing for students from UM and STKIP PGRI

Trenggalek on October 19-22, 2020. All of the mentoring materials were delivered by Femmy Triandina

and co-facilitated by JAPRI’s master coach. The activity was attended by 44 participants from UM’s

Faculty of Economics and 61 participants from STKIP PGRI Trenggalek. This activity was held using

Zoom webinar since students were still studying at home due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Most of the participants reported that they still prefer the conventional way of promoting their products

– that is, directly interacting with consumers – and that offline selling is easier than online. To overcome

this, JAPRI gave several examples of successful micro-entrepreneurs that use online marketplaces to sell

their products to inspire the participants. JAPRI also stated that using online marketplaces to promote

and sell products is a great option because it providers entrepreneurs with the chance to expand their

market reach, potentially resulting in more sales. Providing these explanations proved to be effective, as

after the session, several participants asked questions directly to the mentors on how to start online

marketing.

Online Business Mentoring - Faculty of Economics and Business Universitas Airlangga, Surabaya

One of JAPRI’s master trainers, Syafil Riza, is a lecturer at UNAIR. In FY21, Syafril taught business ethics

at the Vocational Faculty in November 2020 and entrepreneurship at the Faculty of Economics and

Business in February 2021. There were 51 students in the business ethics course and 240 students in

the entrepreneurship course. Syafril, apart from delivering the students the topics contained in the JAPRI

module, Syafril also mentored and asked the students from the two courses to do business practice

individually. Thus, a total of 291 students received learning material from the JAPRI module and 295 new

businesses emerged, all of which had transitioned from being newly opened businesses into operating

businesses when reported to the JAPRI team.

Online Business Mentoring - WhatsApp Indonesia

Through PJI, JAPRI developed a collaboration with WhatsApp Indonesia to conduct online mentoring

activities on the use of WhatsApp Business, the newest application from WhatsApp, for young

entrepreneurs. PJI used this opportunity to provide new skills and knowledge for JAPRI program

participants in Trenggalek, Blitar, Sampang, Gresik, Pacitan, Muhammadiyah University Surabaya,

Nadhlatul Ulama University Surabaya, and Surabaya State University. From the mentoring collaboration

with WhatsApp Indonesia, JAPRI reached a total of 18 participants.

One challenge faced with the WhatsApp-based mentoring was that because the method relied fully on

online delivery and long-distance learning was sometimes difficult for participants to access where

Internet connectivity was not strong. Overall, though, JAPRI found that the collaboration with Whatsapp

was beneficial for the participants, because they understand that regular WhatsApp and WhatsApp

Business have different functions and benefits. Regular WhatsApp is used for personal matters, while

WhatsApp Business makes interacting with customers easy by providing tools to automate, sort and

quickly respond to messages. Participants also learned that in WhatsApp Business, they can build

business profile to list important information, such as their business’ address, email and website; use

labels to organize and easily find messages; and use messaging tools to quickly respond to customers.

Online Business Mentoring – Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia and Universitas Trunojoyo

Madura

The online mentoring activities at UPI and UTM were rolled out from October to November 2020 for

students who took entrepreneurship courses in the odd semester of 2020/2021. In total, there were

1,564 participants from both universities who participated.

As with implementation in FY20, JAPRI still used video-based learning where three selected business

practitioners pre-recorded their lectures on different topics. JAPRI prepared three following videos for

online mentoring:

1. Abdullah Umar (Owner of Opak Ngapak) - Business in the times of pandemic, is it possible?

2. M. Salman Alfarisy (CEO Yuk Bisnis) - Motivation for Young Entrepreneurs

3. Nicky Clara (COO Thisable) - Utilization of Digital Platforms to Enhance Sales & Retain

Customers.

All mentoring videos were provided through the JAPRI E-learning platform, hosted on MRUF’s website

(https://elearning-japri.mruf.org/). Participants were able to choose which videos they watched and were

encouraged to leave questions or feedback for their particular business mentor. JAPRI chose five

questions for each topic and the business mentors answered the questions in video responses. These

recorded Q&A sessions were uploaded to MRUF’s YouTube channel in December 2020.

Since most lecturers were already familiar with the website, JAPRI did not hold an introduction session,

instead just providing publication materials and video guidance to support lecturers in sharing the

information with their students.

To ensure that the e-learning website was not accessed by too much traffic at one time, JAPRI set

different schedules for UPI and UTM students to access the website. For UPI, JAPRI held three phases

in order to accommodate the larger number of students, whereas for UTM, one phase was sufficient to

cover all the students. The schedules are detailed as follows:

Online Mentoring Schedule for UPI & UTM

University # of participants Phase Date

UPI 1,150

First Phase October 19-25t, 2020

Second Phase October 26-November 1, 2020

Third Phase November 2-8, 2020

UTM 414 Single Phase November 2-8, 2020

TOTAL 1,564

From the implementation of online mentoring from previous semester, JAPRI learned that the timing

for sessions was important. In the previous semester, JAPRI conducted online mentoring after final

exams and, as a result, many students were unaware and felt less obligated to join the session.

Considering this lesson learned the timeline for JAPRI activities, online mentoring was conducted before

midterm exams.

The JAPRI team did not put a strict schedule for each class to access the platform. Each assigned class

was free to access the website any time during the designated schedule. This mechanism allowed

students to plan their schedules with more flexibility. This method was proven to be effective, as the

participation rate was significantly higher than in the previous semester. At UPI, 1,150 students (70%)

from 1,637 enrolled in entrepreneurship course participated in online mentoring this semester. This was

12 percentage point increase from previous semester, which only reached 58% (1,510) of participation

from 2,608 students. While at UTM, 414 out of 599 students (69%) registered in entrepreneurship

courses participated in online mentoring.

Overall, the implementation of online mentoring activities at UPI and UTM was successful. Aside from

the appropriate timeline and the flexible schedule, the successful implementation of this activity was also

due to the good cooperation with the university lecturers. Both UPI and UTM lecturers were great

collaborators and very communicative. If there were complications in implementation, they always

contacted the JAPRI team to find solutions.

Online Business Mentoring – Inkubator Bisnis UTM

Aside from engaging the UTM campus in general, JAPRI also implemented an online mentoring activity

for UTM’s business incubator. The mentoring activity was held on November 3, 2020, representing an

additional activity for JAPRI’s online mentoring series. JAPRI conducted the session through Inbis UTM

in collaboration with the Ministry of Youth and Sports, under the theme "Success as an Entrepreneurial

Student, Do You Dare?" A total of 161 young entrepreneurs from Bangkalan, Madura, attended this

online session. One of the mentors in this mentoring was Mrs. Mardiyah Hayati, the head of Maduratech,

who is also an entrepreneurship trainer from JAPRI.

Overall, the mentoring activities went well. However, because activities were carried out online,

technical problems still occurred, such as the participants' unstable internet connections causing

repeated dropping out. To ensure that each participant could understand the mentoring material, Inbis

UTM invited all participants to several WhatsApp groups, with a trained facilitator from Inbis UTM

assigned to each group. These facilitators were also responsible for providing online entrepreneurship

material and sparking discussions in the group chat to deepen participants’ business knowledge.

As a follow up action, all participants of the JAPRI-Inbis UTM online mentoring activities automatically

became members of Inbis UTM. Members of Inbis UTM will receive further assistance such as

entrepreneurship courses, entrepreneur camps, and business coaching. Through this initiative, JAPRI

expects that Inbis UTM, as JAPRI’s implementing partner, will be able to continue providing

entrepreneurship assistance to youth as part of sustainability after JAPRI’s activities officially end at UTM.

People with Disabilities- Activity 1.2.1. Coaching & Mentoring

To further facilitate the delivery of quality entrepreneurial development support to P&V PWDs, the

JAPRI PWD program conducted coaching activities for participants. The activities were focused on

specific areas of entrepreneurial knowledge. During FY21, JAPRI PWD delivered coaching both in-

person and online. JAPRI used the in-person method before the COVID-19 outbreak, while the online

method was used during the increase of COVID-19 cases in July-August 2021. For online coaching, JAPRI

used WhatsApp video and voice calls.

Coaching

Coaching from JAPRI Coaches to PWD participants

For this fiscal year, the PWD business coaching program was implemented from April 2021 until

September 2021. All PWD participants were entitled to three business coaching sessions with JAPRI

coaches. Below is the data of business coaching sessions from JAPRI’s business coaches to PWD

participants in East Java until September 2020:

PWD Participants Location Number of Coaches

Male 306

East Java 48 Female 248

Total PWDs Accessing Coaching 554

JAPRI succeeded in providing access for a total of 554 PWD participants to business coaching in FY21,

which is higher than the previously targeted number, which is 500 participants.

Since the coaching activity was meant to be held one-on-one between coaches and participants, it was

not too difficult to conduct the coachings using a mixed of in-person and online methods. Whenever

the COVID-19 conditions allowed, coaches went directly to the participants to have the coaching

session, while in conditions that could not allow in-person meetings, such as in July-August 2021 when

COVID-19 dramatically increased in JAPRI’s working areas, JAPRI coaches used WhatsApp as their

primary means of coaching participants.

Full Implementation- Activity 2.1.1. Training of Trainers

The ToT is one of JAPRI’s key activities, designed to prepare and develop the capacity of business

trainers to deliver quality entrepreneurial training to P&V youths and individuals so they can increase

their potential in developing or creating businesses. For the full implementation phase, JAPRI successfully

trained 12 participants from Universitas Negeri Malang (UM) Faculty of Economics lecturers. As a result,

these 12 lecturers were trained to be qualified entrepreneurship trainers and are well-equipped to teach

JAPRI’s entrepreneurship module to youth participants.

Due to JAPRI’s work areas being hit with strict COVD-19 restrictions from the Government of

Indonesia, JAPRI implemented the ToT online, using the Zoom meeting platform to deliver the training.

The ToT was delivered over two days (March 23 and 26, 2021) by the JAPRI Master Trainers and

supported by co-trainers. Participants received lessons on training delivery methods for the JAPRI

entrepreneurship module. At the end of the training, participants had improved skills in delivering

entrepreneurship trainings using the JAPRI module. Participants were also able to create effective role-

plays and entrepreneurial oriented games.

The challenge faced in the ToT was that the participants all came from similar backgrounds. This meant

that there was a lack of variety of input and feedback when JAPRI tried to open a discussion with the

lecturers. This meant JAPRI’s master trainers had to be more creative in probing and giving case studies

that can contribute to a potentially wider response from the participants, such as asking the lecturers

questions on what kinds of experiences they have when they teach entrepreneurship to their students,

and how JAPRI’s ET module can be adapted to those different experiences.

People with Disabilities- Activity 2.1.1. Training of Trainers

ToT is designed to prepare and develop the capacity of business trainers to deliver quality

entrepreneurial training to PWDs so they can increase their potential in creating businesses. JAPRI PWD

successfully trained 57 participants from disabled persons’ organizations and local governments. As a

result, 57 qualified entrepreneurship trainers are well-equipped to train JAPRI’s entrepreneurship

module to PWD participants.

For the PWD-focused ToTs, JAPRI collaborated with Universitas Ciputra’s lecturers, as the university

is already well known as a university which promotes entrepreneurship and has an abundance of

knowledge and resources to support JAPRI’s efforts. The ToT was held over a two-day training session

during which participants were trained to deliver the JAPRI entrepreneurship module. At the end,

participants had improved skills in delivering entrepreneurship training using the JAPRI module and were

able to create effective role-play and entrepreneurial-oriented games.

In FY21, JAPRI implemented five ToTs with a total of 57 participants with master trainers from

Universitas Ciputra:

1. February 16-18, 2021, TOT in Malang - 11 participants

2. February 23-25, 2021, TOT in Blitar - 11 participants

3. March 2-4, 2021, TOT in Trenggalek - 11 participants

4. March 8-10, 2021, TOT in Kediri - 12 participants

5. March 16-18, 2021, TOT in Surabaya - 12 participants

The participants mainly came from disabled persons organizations and local government offices. This

was to ensure that the trainers can access potential participants from their respected organizations and

to guarantee JAPRI’s sustainability of approach and method of delivery. The detail of the PWD focused

ToTs schedule and participants are as follow:

People with Disabilities- Activity 2.1.2. Training of Coaches

JAPRI’s Training of Coaches is another key activity for PWD activities and aims to further increase the

effectiveness of creating support services for PWDs in developing entrepreneurship. The ToC is aimed

to train members or leaders of disabled people organizations alongside extension workers from the

government who already have networks with disabled communities or individuals, and then provide

support for them as JAPRI business coaches.

In FY21, JAPRI successfully trained 60 coaches over five ToCs:

1. March 26-27, 2021, Malang - 12 participants

2. March 30-31, 2021, Blitar - 12 participants

3. April 2-3, 2021, Trenggalek - 12 participants

4. April 6-7, 2021, Kediri - 12 participants

5. April 9-10, 2021, Surabaya - 12 participants

For ToC delivery, JAPRI continued its collaboration with Coaching Indonesia. On the first day,

participants learned about the theories and methods of basic coaching, and were introduced to the

iGROW (intention, goal, reality, option, and wrap-up) method. iGROW is a method used by coaches to

focus the conversations and avoid unnecessary or irrelevant topics of discussion. On the second day,

participants practiced coaching skills using role plays and writing coaching logs while supervised by the

Master Business Coach from Coaching Indonesia.

The outcome of each ToC is that participants had improved skills as business coaches. This includes

skills to actively listen, probe, and patiently respond to PWD participants in a coaching session. Aside

from coaching skills, the ToC participants were also tarined on the importance of having empathy to

their coachees, and be able to encourage PWDs to be more active, confident, and creative in executing

their business plans.

People with Disabilities- Activity 2.1.3. Entrepreneurship Training

As an immediate follow up to the ToT, JAPRI’s entrepreneurship trainers began to implement JAPRI’s

entrepreneurship training in March 2021. Trainings then ran until October 2021. Overall in FY21, JAPRI

trained a total of 827 PWD participants from the program’s five working areas in East Java.

Initially, JAPRI PWD implemented in-person ETs with enforcing health protocols to reduce the risk of

COVID-19. This was considered important because PWD participants need to use all senses to be able

to fully comprehend the training materials. However, in Q4 FY21, JAPRI began encountering challenges

in implementing its entrepreneurship activities for PWD participants, as all five East Java areas in which

JAPRI PWD works (Kediri, Malang, Blitar, Trenggalek, and Surabaya-Sidoarjo) implemented strict

mobility restrictions due to increases in COVID-19 cases. JAPRI initiated discussions with trainers on

how to implement online entrepreneurship trainings. Due to the accessibility needs of PWD participants,

the trainers rejected the strategy at first because it would make learning harder for participants. To

increase the accessibility of the online ET materials, JAPRI upgraded the learning videos by adding sign

language interpreters within the already existing videos and sent out JAPRI’s printed entrepreneurship

module and workbook to participates to ensure that they were able to review and practice the learning

materials using the workbook.

The trainers were introduced to the new approach through further discussion, planning, and skill

mentoring to ensure they could effectively deliver online materials to PWD participants. Although efforts

were made to help online activities be as interactive and effective as offline activities, the trainers’

concerns were proven valid, as participants with certain types of disabilities were unable to participate

in the online trainings. The participants’ ability to access and their unfamiliarity in accessing online

platforms also contributed hesitance in joining the trainings online.

To keep the ET engaging and easy to understand for PWD participants, JAPRI sent out printed modules

to participants. The trainers also shortened the duration of the ET, reduced the number of participants,

and used a variety of online platforms such as Zoom, WhatsApp calls, WhatsApp video calls, and

WhatsApp chat. From the implementation of the online ET, JAPRI was able to reach 282 PWD

participants.

Sub Intermediate Result 2.2. Increased readiness in adopting JAPRI model

People with Disabilities- Activity 2.2.1. Disability Perspective and Interaction Training

Disability perspective and interaction training (DPIT) is an activity that is mandatory for all JAPRI

participants, staff, trainers, coaches, and stakeholders. The training is meant as an on-boarding process

for each component to meet the specific needs in delivering activities to people with disabilities. Through

the training, it is expected that the participants will understand the ideal approach to implement activities

to PWDs by taking into consideration the need of specific support and ways to interact with PWDs, so

that participants will be able to fully participate in JAPRI’s activities.

The main objectives of DPIT are:

1. To build an awareness to JAPRI’s stakeholders of inclusive communication and interaction with

disabled people.

2. To increase JAPRI’s stakeholders’ knowledge on human-rights based perspective/paradigm

regarding disability issues.

3. Sensitize JAPRI’s stakeholders on ethical approaches and treatment of people with disabilities.

The DPIT trainers represented five disabilities: physical, visual impairment, hearing impairment,

intellectual, and psychosocial. They presented on how to interact ethically with disabled people.

Participants received a complete understanding of the human rights-based approach on disability

perspective from Law No.8/2016 on People with Disabilities and the UN Convention on The Rights of

People with Disabilities. To sensitize participants, HWDI used role plays to invite participants to act as

disabled persons by using blindfolds, wheelchairs, crutches, and masks. To further increase the

effectiveness of DPIT, JAPRI invited the participants to conduct a venue audit where they were given

the chance to check the availabilities of reasonable accomodations in the training venue, so that they can

learn more about the constraints disabled people have to experience daily. JAPRI provided participants

with the understanding that people with disabilities will be able to live independently like non-disabled

individuals, as long as they are provided with accessibility and reasonable accommodations. Some

examples that the participants found was that, by having ramps in buildings, we could provide ideal access

for those who are using wheelchairs.

DPIT was a new experience for most participants. Generally, they were enthusiastic in the activities, and

they understood the importance of having a good perspective on the different types of disabilities and

how to interact with disabled people, not only in JAPRI activities, but in their lives in general.

In total, JAPRI had provided DPIT to 102 participants and stakeholders that are going to deliver JAPRI’s

key activities, such as the entrepreneurship trainers and business coaches.

People with Disabilities- Activity 2.2.2. Program Collaboration with Key Partners

The JAPRI PWD program enhanced partnerships with local governments during the implementation of

the BMW activities in each location. On September 1, 2021, a BMW in Surabaya was attended by staff

from Surabaya Social Services, Mrs. Susi. JAPRI PWD conveyed information on the series of JAPRI PWD

activities to Mrs. Susi and she suggested to meet the Head of Social Rehabilitation, Social Services, Mr.

Agus Rosid. On September 17, 2021, PD and FO Surabaya held a discussion with Mr. Agus Rosid at the

Social Services office. Mr. Agus welcomed JAPRI activities and said he is ready to support, including

participating in the seed funding jury. Following this, JAPRI sent a letter to the head of Social Services,

and the Head of Social Services, Mr. Sunarko, became a jury member.

In Trenggalek, a BMW event on September 4, 2021 was attended by the Assistant District Head for the

Economy, Mr. Agus, staff from the Regional Secretary's office, as well as representatives from Social

Services and Bappeda. The JAPRI PWD team explained JAPRI PWD activities, especially related to the

judging of seed funding and plans for HDI activities in collaboration with local governments. JAPRI

designed the seed funding as a competition, where JAPRI beneficiaries who have participated in JAPRI

trainings could submit business proposals and plans to gain access to funding. Mr. Agus and his team

welcomed the plan and suggested JAPRI to send a letter to the Regional Secretary's Office; Mr. Agus

later became a member of the seed funding jury.

On September 7, 2021, the JAPRI PWD team

held an audience with the Secretary of Bappeda

Malang, Mrs. Pipih, and the Head of the Sub-

Division of Government Planning for Bappeda,

Mr. Dedy Tri. The JAPRI team conveyed

activity plans, especially related to the plan for

judging seed funding and HDI activities in

collaboration with the Malang City

Government. As a result of the disposition of

the Head of the Malang City Bappeda, Mr.

Agung was appointed as a member of the seed

funding. Several weeks later, when a BMW was

held in Malang on September 29, 2021, the

Meanwhile in Blitar, a BMW was held on September 24, 2021, and the JAPRI team held discussions with

Mr. Rony (Bappeda), Ms. Ida (Disperindag), and Mr. Towil (Dinsos) regarding plans for collaboration

between JAPRI and the local government. Ms. Ida agreed to become a member of the seed funding jury,

and Bappeda is ready to share funds for the HDI activities, with details to be discussed during a BMC

mentoring activity in Q1 FY22. The District Head will be requested by Bappeda to open the HDI

activities in December 2021.

In Kediri, the BMW was held on September 27, 2021, with the head of the Kediri City Bappeda, Mr.

Chevy, opening the activity. Later, the JAPRI team presented a plan for activities related to the judging

of seed funding and HDI activities. On September 28, 2021, the JAPRI team discussed with Mr. Erwin

(Bappeda), Mrs. Luluk (Social Service) and Mrs. Riris (DP3AK) regarding the HDI plan. According to Mr.

Erwin, the Kediri City Government is ready to collaborate on HDI activities and is ready to collaborate.

Intermediate Result 3: Women are empowered to access economic opportunities

Based on strategies and activities JAPRI conducted during the pilot and first year of implementation, the

WEE initiative awarded JAPRI additional funding to focus on young women entrepreneurs. JAPRI found

that conducting ToTs, entrepreneurship trainings/seminars, coaching, and mentoring have the strongest

effect on supporting youth to develop a business mindset. With this knowledge, JAPRI will continue to

implement these activities with an increased focus on young women. In addition, by conducting ToTs,

JAPRI creates a network of stakeholders that will continue the JAPRI approach after the project ends,

with women fully encouraged to actively participate. This is because JAPRI will be delivering ToTs to

stakeholder participants who are closest to where the women entrepreneurs are and accessible. By

doing this, JAPRI ensures that the knowledge and method of delivery will stay where the trainers are

and can be adapted into their own activities.

Sub Intermediate Result 3.1. Women’s basic entrepreneurial skills increased

Activity 3.1.1. Training of Trainers

JAPRI’s ToT is an activity designed to prepare and develop the capacity of business trainers to deliver

entrepreneurial training to P&V youth in their respective area/community. ToT participants are

representative of JAPRI’s stakeholders, either educational institutions, government agency or local

business community. In JAPRI WEE, for an individual to be eligible to participate in JAPRI’s ToT, they

Cooperative Agreement No. AID-497-A-17-00005

JAdi Pengusaha MandiRI (JAPRI) Program

38

should submit a list of 40 female youth as potential participants for entrepreneurship trainings. This

strategy was used to ensure that the trainers would deliver the entrepreneurship trainings soon after

completing the ToT.

Each ToT is delivered by two JAPRI Master Trainers over three days, during which participants receive

lessons on JAPRI’s entrepreneurship module and its delivery methods. Aside from material on how to

deliver an effective entrepreneurship training, the participants also learn about the gender perspective to

improve their awareness on gender equality. To ensure that the participants have fully grasp the learning

materials, they are guided to perform micro-teachings in front of the master trainers and other

participants.

In FY21, JAPRI had successfully trained 61 entreprenurship trainers through two ToTs. One ToT was

conducted online and the second was delivered in-personwith approval of local government.

Online ToT – Trenggalek, Blitar, Bangkalan, and Lamongan, East Java

JAPRI held an online training with a total of 30 participants from four different regencies in East Java:

Trenggalek, Blitar, Bangkalan, and Lamongan. The training was delivered using Zoom on February 22-24,

2021. Since the training was held virtually, JAPRI also utilized entrepreneurship training videos as an

added learning material to enhance the participants understanding of JAPRI’s entrepreneurship module

and its delivery. JAPRI invited businessman and former Jakarta Deputy Governor Mr. Sandiaga Uno as a

guest speaker to deliver the learning materials on business motivation. On the last day, participants were

divided into two different breakout rooms for the micro-teaching sessions. Based on the results of the

micro-teachings assessed by JAPRI’s master trainers, all training participants developed a good ability to

deliver JAPRI’s entrepreneurship learning material, as all met the minimum score to be qualified trainers.

In-person ToT – Bangkalan, Madura, East Java

Due to the improvements in the COVID-19 cases in Bangkalan and by request from the local

government to have JAPRI conduct a in-person activity, JAPRI took the decision in implementing a hybrid

ToTy in Bangkalan. The event used both Zoom for the speakers to deliver the materials and a venue-

based activity where participants and co-trainers are present while still following strict health protocols.

A total of 31 participants attended this last ToT for JAPRI’s WEE activities. Participants were

representatives from youth community organization around Bangkalan such as Kohati, JMPE Madura,

and Fatayat NU.

The District Head of Bangkalan, Ra Abdul Latif Amin Imron, officially opened the ToT and Mrs. Rizky

Atina from USAID/Indonesia delivered opening remarks virtually. Due to the unstable internet

connection, JAPRI had to cut the introduction from MRUF’s executive director. In the third day, Mrs.

Jipy Pricillia, gender specialist of USAID/Indonesia, joined virtually from Jakarta to deliver the gender

overview of JAPRI WEE. JAPRI invited a Master Trainer from Bangkalan, Mrs. Mardiyah Hayati, to deliver

lessons on how to be a good facilitator and trainer. Overall, participants showed good commitment in

attending the ToT.

Activity 3.1.2 Training of Coaches

JAPRI’s ToC is another key activity implemented by JAPRI to further increase the effectiveness of creating

support services to serve P&V youths. It aims to train members or leaders of community organizations

or extension workers to become business coaches for youth. JAPRI successfully trained 20 coaches on

March 15-17, 2021. Participants were representatives from local business communities, business

practitioners, and youth community organizations who were committed to provide entrepreneurial

assistance to young women.

ToC in JAPRI’s WEE activity was conducted in three-days and was delivered by Mrs. Laurencia Lina,

Master Business Coach from Coaching Indonesia. Coaching Indonesia also provided 6 Coach Mentors as

facilitators to support the Master Business Coach. The training was conducted virtually via Zoom and

ViseClass—Coaching Indonesia’s online learning platform—where participants could access all training

materials and fill the pre- and post-test, questionnaire to determine their level of development after the

ToC is completed.

In the first two days, participants were

equipped with concepts and methods of

entrepreneurship coaching and were

introduced to the concept of iGROW and

given time to practice their coaching skill

through role play while supervised by

Coach Mentors. Participants also learned

about basic skills of coaching, which are

active listening and powerful questioning.

Besides learning about coaching skills and concepts, participants were also equipped with gender

perspectives, since they will engage with women entrepreneurs to support them in growing their

business. The session about gender was delivered by JAPRI’s gender specialist, Iva Hasanah, from KPS2K

on the third and final day of training.

ToC participants had improved skills as business coaches so they will be able to encourage female youth

to be more active, confident, and creative in executing their business plans. In order to achieve this

desired outcome, JAPRI and Coaching Indonesia provided two group coaching sessions as follow up

after the ToC. The first group coaching was held on June 24, 2021, via Zoom, and aimed to take lessons

learned and reflections from coaching female P&V youth. Seventeen local coaches participated in the

group coaching, consisting of 13 ToC participants and 4 local coaches from Trenggalek. The second

virtual group coaching was implemented on July 14, 2021, with 15 local coaches and 4 coach mentors

from Coaching Indonesia. In the second group coaching, Coach Laurencia Lina gave refresher knowledge

on four business pillars as well as new materials on different stages of entrepreneurship based on general

characteristics, business operational, typical channel distribution, and coaching needs. Local coach must

be able to identify which level their coachees are in to understand their coaching needs better,

Activity 3.1.3 Entrepreneurship Training

JAPRI’s ET provides technical guidance for participants to gain the basic knowledge of entrepreneurial

development. The WEE ET is delivered by JAPRI’s entrepreneurship trainers, and each trainer is required

to hold two entrepreneurship trainings with two different groups: 20 women participants without prior

business experience and 20 with existing businesses.

With the completion of all JAPRI’s ToTs for WEE activities, JAPRI now has 113 trainers in East Java. In

collaboration with these trainers, JAPRI held 214 ETs in four districts: Trenggalek, Blitar, Bangkalan, and

Gresik during October 2020-September 2021.

In total, 4,492 women participants participated in the sessions with detail as follows:

WEE Entrepreneurship Training in FY21

City/District # of trainer # of training # of participant

Trenggalek 30 87 1,898

Blitar 17 50 1,040

Bangkalan 37 69 1,362

Gresik 4 8 192

TOTAL 88 214 4,492

Each area used different methods to implement ETs. Blitar and Bangkalan conducted ETs in person

following close coordination with village governments and ensuring COVID-19 health and safety

protocols. This was due to the instability or lack of internet access, and because the participants were

not familiar with online methods. In this case, JAPRI provided not only training modules but also training

kits such as masks and hand sanitizer for participants.

Trenggalek and Gresik conducted online ETs by utilizing WhatsApp groups to deliver training materials

such as videos through private YouTube links that participants could access during the training. The ET

modules and training kits (stationary, mask, and hand sanitizers) were sent to participants prior to the

ETs, so the participants could practice creating their business plan.

The main challenge was the inability of participants and some trainers to fully adapt to online-based

mechanisms due to poor internet access and low digital literacy. In this situation, JAPRI’s trainers played

an important role to help each participant in tackling the difficulties accessing the learning materials. To

address this challenge, JAPRI applied a mixed approach between online learning and in-person meetings.

While all learning materials were still given through online means, local trainers could gather their

participants in small group to watch the video and guide them in developing BMCs.

Activity 3.1.4 One-Day Business Training

ODBT is designed to provide technical guidance for participants to gain the basic knowledge of

entrepreneurial development which ultimately lead to the participants in being able to develop business

plans.

In previous settings, the ODBT was designed to

be delivered in-person in one day (8 hours).

However due to COVID-19, JAPRI reduced the

duration to 6 hours or even less following the

regulation from the local government regarding

restrictions for public activity.

During the ODBT, JAPRI invited guest speakers

with strong experience on business practice to

motivate the participants, and the training itself

was led by two JAPRI trainers. In order to ensure

the participants had good understanding,

participants were assisted by facilitators during

the training. By the end of the training, the

expected output from the participants was the

completion of the BMC.

In FY21, JAPRI completed three ODBTs in Bangkalan, Sampang, and Kediri. JAPRI collaborated with Tri

Surya Jaya (TSJ), a local business community from Surabaya, as well as representatives from the Sampang

and Kediri governments to carry out the ODBTs. A total of 290 participants attended the three ODBTs.

Below is the detailed information on each ODBT:

In Sampang and Kediri, prior to the ODBTs, JAPRI collaborated with the local governments to recruit

participants and facilitators. JAPRI targeted participants who already run their own businesses and are

struggling to develop further, as the basic entrepreneurship knowledge provided in the ODBTs helps

participants to analyze their businesses and create business plans. ODBT facilitators and trainers also

assisted participants even after the trainings, providing assistance in business legalization as well as

business mentoring sessions one month later.

Activity 3.1.5. Coaching and Mentoring

JAPRI conducted coaching and mentoring activities to further facilitate the delivery of quality

entrepreneurial development support to female youth.

Through coaching and mentoring, JAPRI provided further entrepreneurship assistance to 2,557 female

youth during October 2020-September 2021 in four districts: Trenggalek, Bangkalan, Gresik, and Blitar.

Business Coaching

Business coaching is provided for ET participants who already had their own business when they

attended the training. Each participant gets three sessions of business coaching with their assigned local

coach. In FY21, because JAPRI conducted WEE ToCs that resulted in 20 new local coaches, combined

with the 4 local coaches trained in PJI’s ToC, JAPRI now has 24 local coaches to provide business

coaching for female youths.

This enabled JAPRI to hold business coaching in 4 districts in FY21: Trenggalek, Bangkalan, Blitar, and

Gresik. Twelve local coaches successfully completed 2,511 coaching sessions towards 837 coachees.

Local coaches managed the implementation of business coaching independently, and sessions were held

through online or in person, based on what was agreed between the coachees and their coaches.

One challenge encountered was ensuring the participants completed all three coaching sessions. A

number of the coaching participants withdrew from the activity because they couldn’t find the time for

coaching . Building trust with coachees became a vital part in assuring their participation until the end

thus JAPRI saw local coaches’ skill in conducting business coaching as the most important factor in

ensuring the delivery of good quality business coaching.

JAPRI also learned some important lessons from WEE business coaching this year. Local trainers played

a huge role in helping to ensure participants’ involvement in business coaching. Trainers who provided

information about the upcoming coaching sessions, helped ensured the continuation of participants to

complete the full series of coaching sessions. For that reason, a good communication between JAPRI,

the coaches, and trainers is essential to implement effective business coaching.

Coaching successfully improved the businesses of many female participants. In FY21, JAPRI recorded

that from 837 coaching participants in FY21, 693 (83%) showed an increase in their gross sales. The

result became evidence that business coaching activity was effective in supporting female youth to

improve their business.

Business Mentoring

For WEE activities, JAPRI designed business mentoring activities for ET participants who did not have

prior experience in running a business, as well as for ODBT participants. The business mentoring

activities were held one month after the training, and JAPRI expected that after mentoring, participants

would continue to have follow up support in realizing their business plans. The mentoring activites were

delivered fully online using JAPRI’s e-learning platform.

JAPRI prepared online materials for mentoring where participants could choose to watch at least one

video based on their interests. JAPRI provided five mentoring videos:

1) Abdullah Umar (Owner of Opak Ngapak) – Business in the times of pandemic, is it possible?

2) M. Salman Alfarisy (CEO Yuk Bisnis) – Motivation for Young Entrepreneurs

3) Nicky Clara (COO Thisable) – The Utilization of Digital Platforms to Enhance Sales & Retain

Customers

4) Bryan Erfanda Putra (Founder of EClub) – 4 Steps of Present-day Business

5) Bryan Erfanda Putra (Founder of EClub) – Social Media Marketing

When attending mentoring sessions online, local trainers informed participants about how the access

the mentoring videos through WhatsApp groups. After participants watched the videos, they were

directed to fill in a Google Form about their business progress. The survey results were used to track

changes in participants’ businesses following the completion of activities.

JAdi Pengusaha MandiRI (JAPRI) Program

45

In FY21, JAPRI succeeded in engaging 1,720 women participants in online business mentoring. The

women were from Trenggalek, Blitar, Gresik, and Bangkalan. The majority of mentoring participants

came from Bangkalan, as JAPRI conducted mentoring not only for ET participants (628) but also ODBT

participants (212) in the district.

JAPRI applied a mixed approach: online materials for most participants, and in person mentoring sessions

only for participants in areas with poor internet connection. With this approach, local trainers were

encouraged to gather their participants in one location that had better internet connection, then

facilitate them to attend online mentoring and fill the business mentoring survey.

As a result of business mentoring, JAPRI documented business improvements in 1,094 (64%) participants.

This represents the number of participants who experienced increases in their earning or started a new

business after the training.

Activity 3.1.6. Seed Funding

JAPRI anticipated that most women entrepreneurs who participated in JAPRI will not be able to self-

fund their businesses and will not be fully eligible for microfinance loans, which typically target more

experienced entrepreneurs with established businesses. Thus, JAPRI provided the chance for women

entrepreneurs who completed ET and coaching/mentoring, and successfully developed feasible business

plans, to access seed funding of US$100 (IDR 1,400,000) to further improve their businesses.

JAPRI designed a business proposal competition to decide seed funding recipients. In FY21, JAPRI opened

several application rounds where JAPRI participants could submit their business proposal and BMC.

Once the application period closed, all applicants went through a screening process from the JAPRI team

to ensure that the applicants met the following requirements:

1) Completed business proposal form

2) Attached BMC

3) Participated in JAPRI’s ET/ODBT and coaching/mentoring

4) Possessed a personal bank account.

Applicants who met the requirements would have their submitted business proposals assessed by the

selection team. Each team member gave scores based on proposals which showed profit motives,

attractive value propositions, and higher chances of success. The business must also display good

potential for sustainability and growth, as well as demonstrate innovative and creative ideas. In deciding

the successful applicants, JAPRI also weighed up whether their businesses were already registered.

Overall, JAPRI disbursed US$46,000 (IDR 640,000,000) in FY21 as seed funding to 460 recipients to

support them in improving their business. The problem with micro entrepreneurs is that, very often

they cannot meet large market demand due to limited funds and production capacity. With this additional

funding, seed funding recipients would be able to purchase additional equipment, enabling them to

increase production capacity to meet the market demand. By requiring seed funding recipients to have

a personal bank account, JAPRI also aimed to increase women entrepreneurs’ access to formal financial

institutions, which will be beneficial for their financial management and transactions in the long term.

(Executive Director of MRUF) as guest judge for applications from Surabaya, Gresik, and Bangkalan.

Representatives from local government were also involved as guest judges for Trenggalek and Blitar.

As a celebration of 120 successful applicants from Trenggalek who received seed funding, JAPRI and the

Trenggalek District Government held a seed funding ceremony in the Trenggalek Pendhopo, on

September 27, 2021. In the same event, JAPRI and Trenggalek government also gave certificates to JAPRI

local trainers in Trenggalek as appreciation of their involvement in assisting women entrepreneurs in

Trenggalek through JAPRI activities. JAPRI local trainers and local coaches played a very significant role

from the beginning of JAPRI activities, starting from recruitment for participants to monitoring the

spending of seed funding. In his closing remarks, the District Head of Trenggalek, M. Nur Arifin, reminded

all seed funding recipients that they should be confident and proud of themselves since the selection

team considered their business plans to be feasible and had selected their proposals among many other

applicants.

Activity 3.2.1. Gender Equality Training for Men in Trenggalek, Gresik, and Surabaya

Several activities for Gender Equality Training for Men were implemented in FY21, reaching a total of

1,243 participants. The activities were attended in Trenggalek by 517 men; in Bangkalan by 478; in Blitar

by 148; in Malang by 26; in Surabaya by 50; and in Kediri by 24 men.

In the gender training activity, JAPRI introduce male participants that are the closest members of the

women entrepreneurs’ environment such as immediate family members (father, husband, brother, etc.)

to the importance of having positive partnerships between men and women in both domestic and

productive activities.

The Gender Training for Men is delivered in three sessions:

1. Understanding the Concept of Sex and Gender. This session explores the difference of sex and

gender, which is fundamental for the participants to understand social gender roles and why

they can lead to injustice for women.

2. Gender Justice for Women Entrepreneurs. This session discusses gender justice, means of

gender justice for women entrepreneurs, and the positive effects of gender justice for both

men’s and women’s lives.

3. The Role of Men to support women entrepreneurs. This session talks about how important it

is for men to work towards gender justice and how men need to actively and concretely be

good role models to decrease the injustice experienced by women entrepreneurs.

After the trainings, 1070 (86%) participants said they agreed or strongly agreed with women attending

out-of-home activities (such as workshops, trainings, and seminars) related to the entrepreneurship

(‘access’), agree that women can operate their own business independently (‘control’), agree that women

can be actively involved in businesses developed by women (‘participation’), agree that women should

be able to access more finances to develop their business (‘benefit’), and agree to commit to sharing

domestic work.

III. Result Against the Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL)

Plan

JAPRI continued to prioritize its workload in FY21 to reach the program’s KPI targets. In FY2021,

JAPRI achieved the following:

• 10 out of 10 JAPRI Full Implementation indicators exceeded their LOP targets

• 8 out of 9 indicators from JAPRI PWD achieved FY21 targets; 7 out of 9 indicators from JAPRI

PWD achieved LOP targets

• 8 out of 10 indicators from JAPRI WEE achieved FY21 targets; 5 out of 10 indicators from

JAPRI WEE achieved LOP targets

The indicators that have not been achieved both in PWD and WEE are EG.6-15 and EG.6-12. On a

percentage basis, the result has not reached the FY21 target. This is because, in the measurement of

the indicators, the denominator numbers far exceed the numerator numbers. However, in terms of

absolute numbers, the FY21 targets as stated in the JAPRI agreement have been reached.

Monitoring activities are regularly carried out by the MEL Team, allowing JAPRI to understand

beneficiaries’ progress in FY21. In this period, due to COVID-19, the format of JAPRI’s materials was

adjusted to be compatible with online platforms that are easily accessed by participants. JAPRI

developed a module for PWDs to ensure PWD needs, and desires are accommodated, including

providing the support systems and reasonable accommodation in the trainings needed by PWDs, such

as sign language interpreters, braille, and accessible and spacious training venues.

Following the implementation of GOI restrictions on social gatherings due to COVID-19, JAPRI

adjusted its video-based sessions on entrepreneurship from JAPRI modules to ensure appropriate and

effective online delivery for PWDs. The videos enabled PWD participants to learn and access JAPRI

materials through WhatsApp, YouTube, and Zoom, after which participants filled in evaluation surveys.

As such, the data collected was continuously processed by the MEL Team.

JAPRI utilized Google Forms for participant data collection because the tool is user-friendly, free, and

widely accessible. However, while using Google Forms has been proven to be very efficient, most

beneficiaries for WEE and PWD activities come from rural areas with limited internet connection.

Therefore, to avoid technical difficulties, JAPRI also provided printed forms to JAPRI’s stakeholders

and beneficiaries. JAPRI’s stakeholders are responsible for collecting and managing the paper-based

forms once they are completed by the beneficiaries. Although using two different methods of data

collection, JAPRI always strives for valid and effective data management in the most efficient way

possible. Below are the data collection tools used by JAPRI to monitor the program’s KPIs:

Target

FY21

Achieved

32% 74%

Indicator EG.6-15 counts the percent of individuals with better employment after completing JAPRI

training sessions. Individuals who will be counted are youth who start or improve their business. The

formula of this indicator is the number of individuals with better employment, divided by individuals

who completed the USG-workforce development program, and multiplied by 100.

The six variables are counted as individuals with an improved business are as follows:

1. Growth in customers

2. Growth in gross sales (revenue)

3. Growth in employment

4. Growth in transactions

5. Growth in production capacity

6. Growth in asset ownership.

In addition to measuring the six variables, the youth beneficiaries are also asked to give a narrative

report on their personal improvement after receiving JAPRI capacity development support. This

qualitative measurement determines the number of the youth beneficiaries who improved their

business, such as through improving packaging of products, enlarging their business network, and

improving their business financial reports.

The FY21 target for this indicator is 32%. Based on the calculation of EG.6-15, 32% is calculated from

24 individuals with better employment, divided by 75 individuals who completed USG-supported

training and multiplied by 100. 24 is the remainder of the LOP target (4,000 youth) for FY21; JAPRI

already reached 3,976 youth during FY19-FY20.

In FY21, JAPRI reached 74% for indicator EG.6-15. It is counted as 1,785 individuals with better

employment divided by 2,399 individuals who completed USG-supported training multiplied by 100.

Based on data collected from the three provinces (West Java, Central Java, and East Java), 1,785 of

2,399 (74%) youth obtained better employment in various sectors by FY21. This achievement means

that 1,785 P&V youth experienced progress in their business, including 1,173 with improved businesses

and 612 with new businesses. From the six variables indicating an improved business, 30% of 1,173

youth reported growth in revenue, 19% reported increased customers, 14% reported a growth in

transactions, 12% reported a growth in production capacity, and 11% reported an increase in assets.

Of the 1,785 new and improved businesses, 1,205 were women-owned businesses and 580 were men-

owned businesses. JAPRI always aims for a gender balance among participants. However, the number

of youth businesses started or improved was dominated by female participants in West Java, Central

Java, and East Java. This is due to the number of female participants who reported new or improved

businesses was higher than male participants. The largest JAPRI activity contributing to female

involvement is ET and ODBT, followed by business coaching and mentoring sessions.

The graphic above depicts the distribution of youth businesses based on sector. In FY21, culinary

(40%), fashion (21%), retail (12%), and services (12%) were the top four sectors among youth who

experienced new or improved businesses. These four sectors proved to be the most popular for youth

since they do not require complicated skills and knowledge to start. These sectors are also ideal for

those who are in the early stage of business, such as drop shippers or re-sellers, a business type which

is also very popular among JAPRI beneficiaries since it requires minimum capital.

Youth training is defined as youth who participate in JAPRI training or courses, including

entrepreneurship training, public lectures, and public seminars hosted by third parties, regardless of

whether the youth completes the whole training. For example, if a public seminar is held for two days,

and a participant attends only one day of training, they are still counted as trained in social or leadership

skills.

In FY21, JAPRI did not have a target for this indicator since the program had already achieved the LOP

target in FY20. However, since JAPRI continued to run training in FY21, the program still collected

data that contributed to the indicator. Accordingly, 3,483 new beneficiaries contributed to this

indicator. Entrepreneurship courses at UPI contributed the most beneficiaries with 1,637 students,

followed by UTM with 599 students and UM with 874 students. The remainder came from UNAIR,

the ET in Sampang, and the ODBT in STKIP Trenggalek.

In this reporting period, this indicator calculated the number of P&V youth who attended the

module which covered topics such as finding business ideas, production and its financial projection,

marketing, and basic business financial plans.

Of the 3,483 youth trained in social or

This indicator is defined as youth who have fully completed JAPRI trainings. Completing the workforce

development program means that the P&V youth have met 100% completion of at least one of JAPRI’s

trainings, either directly implemented by JAPRI or its stakeholders. In this case, JAPRI stakeholders are

participants who have completed the JAPRI ToT.

In FY21, JAPRI did not have a target set for this indicator because it already reached the LOP target

in FY20. However, since JAPRI continued to run trainings in FY21, the program still collected data that

contributed to this indicator.

JAPRI’s entrepreneurship module was adopted by JAPRI-certified trainers, partially or entirely, as

materials in various subjects at universities and communities. Adoption of this module is carried out

through a flexible method, with each trainer using whichever parts of the module they need.

The JAPRI-certified trainers are representatives of local community and university lecturers who

committed to deliver the JAPRI module to young people in their assisted areas. They facilitated young

people in Bandung (West Java) and several regencies/cities in East Java, such as Malang, Madura,

Trenggalek, Surabaya, and Sampang to improve their skills and knowledge in entrepreneurship through

trainings.

The completion of JAPRI’s entrepreneurship training is very significant in the learning process for P&V

youth. This is because they follow the whole process and are able to comprehensively understand the

entrepreneurial material included in the JAPRI module.

Of the 3,422 youth who completed

This indicator is defined as youth who have improved skills after completing JAPRI’s trainings.

Completing the workforce development program means that P&V youths have completed 100% of at

least one of JAPRI’s trainings, both directly carried out by JAPRI and its stakeholders, such as the

entrepreneurship training or course.

In FY21, JAPRI did not have a target for this indicator since JAPRI had already reached the LOP target

in FY20. However, since JAPRI continued to run trainings in FY21, the program still collected data that

contributed to this indicator.

3,396 out of 3,422 youth (99%) who completed JAPRI training indicated an improvement of skills

following the entrepreneurship training. Several measures are used to calculate improved skills, such

as participants’ development of online business plans and BMCs. Most beneficiaries developed their

plans based on the differentiation of products offered as well as their marketing strategy.

Differentiation of products refers to variants in products produced to meet customer preferences.

For BMCs, some participants wrote down their plans to update variations of their business products

and establish relationships with customers to maintain their loyalty. Other participants desired to

strengthen marketing strategies and expand the scale of their businesses.

Business coaching and mentoring sessions supported P&V youth in continuing the business process by

assisting them to overcome mental barriers, such as low self-efficacy and lack of confidence, which

were identified as the greatest barriers during the business start-up period.

In FY21, JAPRI did not have a target for this indicator since JAPRI had already reached the LOP target

in FY20. However, since JAPRI continues to run training in East Java in FY21, JAPRI still collected data

that contributed to this indicator.

JAPRI local mentors completed mentoring sessions for 333 youth in FY21. The mentoring sessions

were delivered through Zoom in several batches for beneficiaries at UTM, Universitas Negeri Malang

(UM), STKIP Trenggalek, and UNAIR. Local mentors registered an equal number of men and women

during the initial registration period, but ultimately more women completed the training than men.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, JAPRI took the initiative to hold mentoring sessions online. The

online mentoring schemes were adjusted to online platforms such as Zoom, WhatsApp calls, and

webinars. Participants and mentors discussed the business challenges faced by the participants and

provided business best practice feedback.

This indicator is defined as higher education institutions (HEIs) who received capacity development

support, including partnerships, training, and coaching. JAPRI recorded the number of universities that

have been involved with and/or have received capacity development support through ToTs. Lecturers

are representatives from the universities who completed the ToT on how to integrate the JAPRI

module into their curriculum or business incubator program. To calculate the data for this indicator,

an HEI is only counted once regardless of how many trainings the HEI’s representatives attended.

In FY21, JAPRI did not have a target for this indicator since JAPRI had already reached the LOP target

in FY20. However, since JAPRI continues to run training in East Java in FY21, JAPRI still collected data

that contributed to this indicator.

Universitas Negeri Malang (UM) received capacity development support through a ToT in March 2021.

The lecturers from UM who attended JAPRI’s ToT stated that the trainings equipped them with new

methods in delivering materials that are beneficial and practical for their curriculum and significantly

influenced how they deliver course materials. The lecturers said they are committed to delivering

JAPRI materials in their universities to strengthen students’ entrepreneurial knowledge and skills.

This indicator defines a stakeholder as a representative from a university, community group, local

designed by JAPRI and agreed upon with its stakeholders after they have received capacity development

support through ToTs and ToCs carried out by JAPRI. The stakeholders are counted institutionally

once they deliver the JAPRI entrepreneurship training/course and business coaching to P&V youth, both

in universities and communities.

UM was the sole stakeholder who completed a JAPRI ToT in FY21. Accordingly, only UM then went

on to deliver JAPRI’s entrepreneurship course, providing students with practical and applicable models

through classroom teaching. Using JAPRI materials, stakeholders have had good impact in terms of

assisting students, especially the students trying to start or develop their businesses. Through the

training materials, students feel more positive and enthusiastic about running their businesses and can

create better business plans by using the BMC method.

In this reporting period, JAPRI conducted a two-day online ToT via Zoom for UM lecturers. The total

number of staff certified this quarter was 12 people. JAPRI observed practice teaching during a

microteaching session. JAPRI master trainers observed each participant in microteaching session.

During the UM ToT, participants were trained and discussed chapters JAPRI’s entrepreneurship

module such as:

- Finding business ideas using different analysis methods

- Segmenting, targeting, and positioning

- Marketing.

After taking part in the JAPRI’s ToT, participants had greater knowledge on basic entrepreneurship

skills, and committed to using JAPRI materials when teaching students in class.

With more faculties adopting JAPRI entrepreneurship module to their curriculum, more youth were

exposed to entrepreneurship knowledge delivered by their lecturers. This entrepreneurship

knowledge serves as additional soft skills that are beneficial to support youths’ passion and interest.

47% 60%

Indicator EG.6-15 counts the percent of individuals who have better employment following

participation in USG-supported training. Individuals counted are PWDs who start a new business and

increase their gross earnings. The formula of this indicator is the number of individuals with better

employment divided by the number of individuals who completed USG-supported training, multiplied

by 100.

For FY21, the JAPRI target for EG.6-15 is 47%. In the table above, ‘FY21 achieved’ refers to results for

the cumulative achievements for the fiscal year. In FY21, JAPRI recorded that 500 of 827 PWDs

supported this quarter (60%) experienced progress in their business after completing an ET and

business coaching session. This means the FY21 achievement exceeded the FY21 target. The PWD

beneficiaries who showed improvements in their business were from Surabaya, Sidoarjo, Malang,

Trenggalek, Kediri, and Blitar.

JAPRI completed 99 ET sessions in the FY21. These activities were followed up by coaching sessions

to monitor and assist the business progress of PWD. The delivery of in-person and online coaching

sessions was successful in boosting participants’ ability to improve their businesses. The use of online

methods became an effective method considering the COVID-19 situation in Indonesia but did limit

the number of PWD participants who could join online, as some had difficulties if their devices were

not compatible or certain accommodations were unavailable. Meanwhile, individual with intellectual

and psychosocial disabilities must be accompanied by their families during coaching sessions.

Therefore, JAPRI prioritized in-person training when possible and safe.

The above data highlights that people with physical disabilities have so far benefitted the most from

coaching sessions. Participants with visual impairments were also encouraged to grow their businesses

even though they often encountered communication barriers in their business environments. For

example, sign language is not mainstream in society, so visually impaired business owners often have

difficulties to improve business transactions by themselves. Individuals with intellectual and

psychosocial disabilities were those who experienced the least increased earnings; this is due to their

lower levels of participation in coaching sessions and their need for intensive assistance from the

closest people in their family environment to run a business.

As seen in the graphic, the services sector was the most popular business sector (36%) among PWDs

in FY21. Within the services sector, most PWD beneficiaries optimized their skills and specific expertise

in sewing, workshop, repairing tools, and more. Retail and culinary sectors followed in the second and

third rank at 25% and 18%, respectively.

Indicator EG.6-12 collects the data of PWDs who start a new business after completing JAPRI training,

coaching, or mentoring sessions. It is a transition from a status of ‘does not have a business’ to a status

of ‘have a business’. A new business is considered as PWDs engaged in new commercial activities, such

as produce and sell goods and services for profits.

For FY21, JAPRI set a target of 20% PWDs for EG.6-12. In the table above, ‘FY21 achieved’ refers to

results of the cumulative achievements for the fiscal year. In FY21, JAPRI recorded that 140 of 827

PWDs supported this year (13%) developed new businesses, meaning they produced and sold goods

or services after participating in the coaching sessions.

Achievements for this indicator were lower than the FY21 target. JAPRI found that for PWDs, creating

a new business required more effort than increasing their business earnings. Beneficiaries who had not

yet started their business found it difficult to do so because they needed strong motivation and a high

level of determination. In some areas, there was also a delay of activities where local trainers and local

coaches were meant to facilitate coaching and mentoring after PWD beneficiaries completed the ET.

This delay occurred because local trainers and coaches tested positive for COVID-19 and were unable

to deliver sessions as scheduled.

To achieve the remaining EG. 6-12 target, in FY22 JAPRI will recruit new participants without

businesses as well as put more effort in coaching and mentoring session in assisting the PWD more

intensively. JAPRI will also take the initiative to hold the BMC mentoring activity for the engaged

stakeholders to provide assistance to the PWDs through its cohort of local mentors.

As seen in the graphic, the culinary sector (47%) was the most popular business sector among PWDs

in FY21. For most PWD beneficiaries of JAPRI activities, culinary businesses require less capital to

launch.

Indicator EG.6-5 records PWDs who increase their business earnings after completing JAPRI training,

that a business earns from the sale of goods or services before expenses are deducted. JAPRI

determines the increase of earnings by collecting data from women beneficiaries with existing

businesses. JAPRI expects PWDs who are running a business to be able to show progress or an

increase in earnings as one of their business growth variables.

For FY21, JAPRI set a target of 200 PWDs. In the table above, ‘FY21 achieved’ refers to results of the

cumulative achievements for the fiscal year. In FY21, JAPRI recorded that 360 PWDs successfully

showed an increase in their earnings. This exceeded the FY21 target. The PWD beneficiaries who

showed an increased in their business earnings were from Surabaya, Sidoarjo, Malang, Trenggalek,

Kediri, and Blitar.

Business coaching in Blitar provided the highest number of participants with increased income due to

a higher number of PWD beneficiaries participating in coaching sessions compared to other areas.

Overall, 286 of 360 PWD beneficiaries with increased earnings saw an increase of between IDR 1

To support increases in earnings of PWD businesses, JAPRI encouraged PWDs who completed the

ET to participate in the coaching process. In the context of business coaching, it has been an important

part of the process to increase earnings by women’s businesses. The coaching sessions are specifically

provided for PWDs who have already established a business, so that they are expected to show

progress or an increase in earnings. The business coaching allows the coaches to maintain a close

relationship with JAPRI beneficiaries. This relationship is expected to provide regular solutions for any

business problems experienced by beneficiaries.

The graphic shows the number of PWD-owned businesses who showed an increase in earnings

disaggregated by business sector. Services sector topped the list with 46% (165 of 360) with a

percentage gap that was quite far from retail sector in the second rank (20%).

disabilities who have physical, mental, intellectual, and sensory impairments which in interaction with

various attitudinal and environmental barriers, which may hinder their full and effective participation

in society on an equal basis with others. Benefiting from USG-supported social services means that

PWDs participate in activities aiming to promote the welfare of individuals. In the context of JAPRI,

social services include activities such as ETs. Individuals who obtain benefits from such trainings are

counted in this indicator.

For FY21, JAPRI set a target 750 people for ES.4-1. ‘FY21 achieved’ refers to results of the cumulative

achievements for the fiscal year. In FY21, JAPRI recorded that 827 PWDs completed JAPRI ETs in

Surabaya, Malang, Blitar, Trenggalek, Kediri, and Sidoarjo. This result exceeded the FY21 target.

JAPRI encouraged local trainers to hold online training wherever possible following the local

government’s COVID-19 restrictions. However, some local trainers decided to hold in-person

trainings for PWD beneficiaries in order to be able to deliver materials more clearly without being

constrained by devices or limited internet connections, while still following the local government’s

COVID-19 regulations on health protocols. Before conducting ETs, local trainers coordinated with

the village government as well as the local COVID-19 task force to ensure all necessary safety

measures were taken.

Of the 827 PWDs who received social services from JAPRI activities, individuals aged 41-50 dominated,

representing 31% of beneficiaries in FY21. PWDs aged 31-40 represented the second-most supported

group, with 28% of beneficiaries falling into this age group.

EG.6-14 collates the data of JAPRI PWD activities. The percent of individuals is the number of

individuals who complete workforce development programming, divided by the total number of

individuals who participated in workforce development programming, multiplied by 100. Completing

the workforce development program means that PWDs have met 100% completion of at least one

training implemented by JAPRI itself or its stakeholders. In this case, JAPRI stakeholders are those who

previously participated in a JAPRI ToT.

For FY21, JAPRI set a target of 90% for EG.6-14. ‘FY21 achieved’ refers to results of the cumulative

achievements for the fiscal year. In FY21, JAPRI recorded that 100% of 827 PWDs completed JAPRI

ETs in Surabaya, Malang, Blitar, Trenggalek, Kediri, and Sidoarjo. This result exceeded the FY21 target.

This achievement was accumulated through in-person and online training sessions conducted by local

trainers.

The ET sessions taught participants about opportunities to create and improve businesses and

contribute to their community. The ET participants also learned about business planning, marketing

strategies, and financial planning, including how to understand and create a BMC. The trainings

encouraged participants to be positive for both themselves and their communities.

Some of the trainers reported they and their recruited participants had difficulties to use the online

system because of the trainers’ unfamiliarity with said systems. This impacted participants’ lack of

confidence, leading to them deciding to drop out of the trainings.

80% 95%

Indicator EG.6-13 collects the data of PWDs with improved skills after completing JAPRI’s training.

Percent of individuals is the number of individuals with better results at post-test, divided by the total

number of individuals who participate in skills programming, multiplied by 100. Completing the

workforce development program means that PWDs have completed 100% of at least one of JAPRI’s

trainings (carried out by JAPRI or its stakeholders), such as an ET.

An improved skill is measured by utilizing a business plan; that is, how participants created components

for the BMC, such as information on production, marketing, or finance. JAPRI provided the business

plan worksheet through a Google Form sent to participants via WhatsApp messenger. The participants

wrote their business plans and submitted them to JAPRI. A completed BMC indicates improved skills

toward an intermediate that linked to longer-term workforce outcomes, such as new employment

and increased earnings.

For FY21, JAPRI set a target of 80% for EG.6-14. From 827 PWDs completing JAPRI’s training, 784

(95%) showed improved skills. This result exceeded the FY21 target. The achievement in this indicator

is closely related to EG. 6.14 thus the trend of these two indicators tends to be similar.

Participants’ skill improvement is calculated through a business plan and BMC form in which they

completed by the end of training. This period, most beneficiaries developed a better skill in creating

marketing strategies as well as financial planning for their business. Marketing refers to the strategies

or methods used to promote and sell products to potential customers. While financial planning mostly

refers to identifying and calculating the cost for business operation, production, equipment and

marketing.

Skill improvement also suggests female youth are better in creating their own business plan. Having a

good business plan enables PWD beneficiaries to have clear strategies in growing their business. PWD

youth also become more familiar with planning their business through BMC form. Below are ET

participants categorized by gender and disability types, as well as the disaggregation of those with

improved soft skills by age.

agreed among between JAPRI and its stakeholders after they have received capacity development

through a JAPRI ToT or ToC.

For FY21, JAPRI set a target of 80 for this indicator. ‘FY21 achieved’ refers to results of the cumulative

achievements for the fiscal year. In FY21, 102 local trainers and local coaches delivered JAPRI ETs and

coaching sessions to PWDs in Surabaya, Malang, Blitar, Trenggalek, Kediri, and Sidoarjo. The ETs were

conducted by local trainers who delivered JAPRI modules and BMC material, while coaching sessions

were delivered by local coaches through in-person coaching sessions. Slightly more women than men

delivered JAPRI trainings and coachings to PWDs in FY21, and most were aged 51-60 (41%) or 41-50

(38%).

For FY21, JAPRI set a target of 100 for this indicator. ‘FY21 achieved’ refers to results of the cumulative

achievements for the fiscal year. In FY21, 117 participants (including both of PWDs and able-bodied

persons) who obtained 100% participation in ToT and ToC. Most participants were members of local

communities committed to delivering the coaching sessions. The participants completed the series of

ToC and ToT in Malang, Blitar, Trenggalek, Kediri, and Surabaya.

48% 38%

Indicator EG.6-15 counts percent of individuals who have better employment following participation

in USG-supported training. Individuals who will be counted are women aged 18-29 who start a new

business and increased their gross earnings. The formula of this indicator is the number of individuals

with better employment is divided by individuals who completed USG-supported training and

multiplied by 100.

For FY21, JAPRI set a target of 48% women for EG.6-15. By the end of September 2021, JAPRI was

only able to reach 38% (1,787 of 4,705 women). Based on data collected in FY21, 1,787 women

experienced progress in their business, including 573 with increased gross earnings and 745 with new

businesses. On a percentage basis, this result has not reached the FY21 target. This was due to a large

Annual Report FY21

JAdi Pengusaha MandiRI (JAPRI) Program

69

number of women participants who registered and completed the online trainings, but a lower

percentage (approximately 50%) who continued on to participate in coaching and mentoring activities.

This had an impact on the business improvement of participants, resulting in only 1,787 or 38% of

women with better businesses after completing trainings. However, in absolute numbers, 1,787 has

reached the FY21 target as stated in the JAPRI agreement.

One other constraint was a delay in data collection for the business progress survey. As business

mentoring utilized online survey forms, it took much longer time to collect the survey results from

beneficiaries even though the session was finished in under a week. In FY22, JAPRI will encourage

more local trainers to apply a mixed approach between online learning material and in person meeting

to speed up the process of data collection. This strategy was considered effective as it applied in

Bangkalan and Blitar already and more women were able to submit their business progress in time.

Additionally, progress was hindered because most of JAPRI beneficiaries’ businesses are small

businesses and vulnerable to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Since regulations enforcing

lockdowns and social distancing were implemented to slow the spread of the virus, the conditions

have affected a decline in the youth business operations across sectors and a massive drop in demand

in most sectors. To overcome this matter, JAPRI’s mentors routinely shared their business knowledge

and explained how to take advantage of market demands such as varying their business products and

optimizing online sales. Optimizing social media and online marketplaces were effective methods to

reach consumers in the midst of physical distancing and work from home policy.

As seen from the graphic above, culinary was the most popular business sector among female youths

during FY21 because food & beverage businesses require less capital to launch.

From the 1,787 women who had better employment, most were aged 20-24 years old (41% of total

beneficiaries). The youngest age group (15-19) were the smallest (20%), mainly due to difficulties in

managing their time between school and running a business.

Indicator EG.6-12 counts percent of individuals with new employment following participation in USG-

supported training. Individuals who will be counted are women aged 18-29 who start a new business.

It is a transition from a status of ‘do not have a business,’ to a status of ‘have a business’. A new

business is considered to be a woman who becomes engaged in commercial activities, such as

producing and selling goods and services for profits. The formula of this indicator is the number of

individuals with new employment is divided by individuals who completed USG-supported training and

multiplied by 100.

The LOP target number of women with new employment is 1,000, while the LOP target number of

women completed USG-supported training is 5,000. In FY21, JAPRI WEE targeted 643 women for

new employment and 2,730 women who completed USG-supported training. The FY21 target of this

indicator is 23%. Based on the calculation of EG.6-12, 23% is calculated from 643 women with new

employment divided by 2,730 women completed USG-supported training and multiplied by 100. JAPRI

reached 16% for the indicator EG.6-12 in FY21. 16% is counted by 745 individuals with better

employment divided by 4,705 individuals completed USG-supported training and multiplied by 100.

On a percentage basis, this result has not reached the FY21 target, as many more women participated

in the trainings than in the coaching and mentoring; about 50% continued to the coaching and

mentoring stage. This had an impact on the business improvement of participants so that only 745

(16%) of women with better businesses after completing trainings. However, in absolute numbers, 745

reached the FY21 target as stated in the JAPRI agreement.

In FY21, there were 745 individuals from four districts who gain new employment by establishing their

own business. These individuals did not have business prior to JAPRI training and were able to show

that they have started a business one month after the training. For these women, attending the training

provided them assurance to finally decided to become an entrepreneur. Learning entrepreneurship

knowledge from the training increased their motivation and self-confidence that drove them to start a

new business. JAPRI also learned that timing played an important impetus to start a business. For

example, women used the momentum of Ramadan and Eid to start offering their culinary or fashion

product as the demand for these two sectors increased significantly during that period.

JAPRI also noticed an interesting detail for new businesses. There were women who had actually started

their own business following the completion of JAPRI training; however, they were unable to be

considered as new businesses since they did not have any business transactions yet. JAPRI found this to

be very common for businesses in which production process takes a long time before sales can begin,

such as animal husbandry and agriculture.

This fiscal year, the majority of women with new businesses came from Trenggalek, as more women

who enrolled in entrepreneurship trainings were from Trenggalek than other areas. In second place

was Bangkalan. Although JAPRI held two training activities in Bangkalan, entrepreneurship training and

ODBT, female youth in this indicator only came from the entrepreneurship training. The reason for

this is because ODBT targeted female youth with existing businesses as participants.

The contribution from Gresik and Blitar for this indicator was very low compared to Trenggalek and

Bangkalan. However, percentage wise, the result from Gresik was good, as 39 out of 54 participants

(62%) without a business beforehand started a business afterwards. In Blitar, local trainers did not

provide any further assistance and support for female youth after the training. As a consequence, the

progress for female youth went unobserved.

The graphic above demonstrates the distribution of achievement based on business sector. Once again,

culinary and fashion remained the top two sectors in which women chose to start businesses. Both

sectors required the least capital to launch; capital is the major constraint for women entrepreneurs.

The same reason also supported the rise of trading and retail businesses, with women selling household

appliances online because they can become drop shippers or resellers.

Upon gaining new entrepreneurship knowledge from JAPRI’s training, women felt more confident to

open up a new business. Once women began running their business, they felt the need to improve

their business. In doing so, women can add more products or broaden their marketing strategy using

social media rather than only selling around their neighborhood.

Most women started their businesses with the motivation to support their family income. Although it

was tough to encourage these young women to start a business, the real challenge in entrepreneurship

was actually to ensure that the business grew and was sustained. By strengthening the collaboration

with JAPRI local trainers and local coaches, JAPRI expects that the relationship between them and their

respective participants also continued to flourish even after JAPRI’s activities end.

From all 745 female beneficiaries with new

business, women who are 20-24 years old (328)

dominated this indicator in FY21, followed by

women aged 25-29 then aged 15-19. Even though

the trend was consistent with last year’s

achievement, JAPRI recognizes all the effort

these young women put into erasing their doubts

and launching their own businesses.

Indicator EG.6-5 collects the data of women aged 18-29 who increase their business earnings after

completing the JAPRI training, coaching, or mentoring sessions. Earnings are considered as gross

earnings, which refers to the amount that a business earns from the sale of goods or services before

expenses are deducted. JAPRI counts an increase of earnings for this indicator by collecting data from

women beneficiaries with existing businesses. JAPRI expects women who are running a business to be

able to show progress or an increase in earnings as one of their business growth variables.

The FY21 target for EG.6-5 was 876. By the end of September, a total 1,042 women had increased

earnings after completing the ODBT or ET as well as the coaching process, exceeding the FY21 target.

Through coaching, the women were provided with inspiration by JAPRI-certified coaches to explore

their businesses’ strengths, weaknesses, potential, and opportunity. In the context of business

coaching, it has been an important part of the process to increase earnings by women’s businesses.

These coaching sessions are specifically provided for women who have already established a business,

so they are expected to show progress or an increase in earnings. The business coaching allows the

coaches to maintain a close relationship with JAPRI women beneficiaries. This relationship is expected

to provide regular solutions for any business problems experienced by women beneficiaries.

In FY21, 1,042 women reported to increased earnings following the completion of JAPRI training.

Trenggalek had the most women (574) who experienced increased earnings, as both coaching and

mentoring was held in Trenggalek in FY21. The same two activities were conducted in Bangkalan and

Gresik, supporting 325 and 138 women, respectively. Blitar contributed the least number due to no

further assistance provided by local trainers in Blitar to their participants. Thus, JAPRI could not track

participants’ business progress. Business coaching activity in Blitar did begin in the last quarter of FY21

and JAPRI will continue to closely assist implementation in FY22.

In Bangkalan, JAPRI held two different types of training: entrepreneurship training by local trainers and

one online ODBT held in collaboration with Tri Surya Jaya. Both activities contributed to the

achievement for this indicator. From 325 female youth with increased earnings, 129 were participants

Of the 1,042 female youth with increased

This is a very interesting point after

comparing it with the age distribution in

F.EG. 6-4 achievement where the

majority were 20-24 years old.

The highest increased earnings in FY21

was achieved by Nurul Widiyawati from

Trenggalek, who runs a poultry farming

business. Her gross income increased from IDR 1.2 million at the start of her interaction with JAPRI,

to IDR 42 million during her last session of business coaching, an increase of 41,325,000 (US$2,951.79).

This striking increase was a result of her strategy to start selling chicken eggs to small retail stores in

nearby villages rather than depending on big retailers. The decision was very important for her business

growth as she realized that the price of chicken eggs was very volatile.

Business sector results for this indicator slightly diverted from the common JAPRI trend. While the top

three sectors remained fashion, culinary, and trading/retail, the number of female youths with

trading/retail businesses exceeded those in fashion sector (225 vs 205). Nevertheless, culinary sector

was consistently the number one sector with the most improvement, both in terms of earnings and

new businesses.

Most women experienced increases in their income of less than IDR 1 million (617 women). More

growth was felt by 373 youths whose earning increased between IDR 1 million and IDR 5 million. 44

youths’ income grew between IDR 5 million to IDR 10 million, while eight women’s earnings increased

more than IDR 10 million.

Through business coaching activities, JAPRI could learn more about women’s business progress, since

local coaches could track their progress once a month as part of their coaching sessions. Strong

motivation and mindset were the important traits for women to further grow their businesses, and

many participants expressed that the main change they felt was improved business confidence. Their

growing self-confidence led to more networking and larger markets as they became more advanced

and braver in promoting their products. In comparison, women who lacked motivation did not see as

much importance in growing their businesses. For example, JAPRI identified several cases where women

viewed their business as a ‘side activity’ to get extra income for their children. The women still relied

on their husband’s income as the family’s main source of income.

Goal: Number of microenterprises supported by USG assistance (F. EG. 5-3)

FY 21

Target

FY21

Achieved

1,519 1,787

Indicator EG.5-3 collects the data of microenterprises who receive assistance through JAPRI capacity

training, coaching, and mentoring services. A microenterprise is considered as a very small enterprise

owned and operated by women aged 18-29.

For FY21, JAPRI set a target of 1,519 microenterprises. JAPRI recorded 1,787 microenterprises who

receive assistance through JAPRI capacity training, coaching, and mentoring services. This result

exceeded the FY21 target. The women’s microenterprises who received JAPRI assistance delivered

by the JAPRI’s local trainers and local coaches were in Trenggalek, Surabaya, Bangkalan, and Gresik.

In FY21, JAPRI focused on supporting microenterprises in four districts across East Java. The majority

of supported microenterprises came from Trenggalek, with 1,001 microenterprises. JAPRI also

supported more microenterprises in Bangkalan through collaboration with local trainers and TSJ as an

ODBT partner in the area. In total, 570 microenterprises from Bangkalan were supported. Even though,

Gresik is not a main working area under WEE, JAPRI also provided assistance to 177 microenterprises

in this region, since JAPRI had collaboratively worked with Yayasan Pendidikan Mambaul Ulum (YPMU)

to conduct ODBT and online mentoring sessions. In Blitar, JAPRI provided support to 39

microenterprises.

showed improvement. From 1,787

microenterprises, women aged 20-24 years

old ran 724 microenterprises; women aged

25-29 ran 707 microenterprises; while women

aged 15-19 ran 356 microenterprises.

In terms of business sectors, JAPRI supported

culinary businesses the most, with 732

businesses were selling food and beverages

products. The growing number of businesses in the craft and services sector run by female youth was

also interesting to see in FY21, as both sectors experienced a significant increase compared to other

sectors in the previous fiscal year (increased by 35 - 50). Still, those numbers could not keep up with

the most popular sectors of culinary, fashion, and trading/retail. JAPRI also supported several agriculture

and farming business in FY21.

sensitive in order to support a household partnership between men and women that leads to the fair

distribution of domestic and other responsibilities.

To collect data for this indicator, JAPRI created a pre- and post-training survey for male participants

to compare the results before and after the gender training. JAPRI sent out an embedded link through

WhatsApp, so that the participants were able to access and fill in both surveys. The questionnaire asks

for prompting statements that enable the program to understand how men view the importance of

men-women partnerships in relation to development of women-owned businesses. Once a male

participant reports an increased agreement towards gender equality, they are counted in this indicator.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, JAPRI shifted all gender trainings online. JAPRI conducted online

gender trainings in Trenggalek, Gresik and Surabaya, which were attended by 1,243 male participants.

They all had a close relationship (husband, father, sibling, etc.) with women who previously participated

in an ET. They received new knowledge about the differences of sex and gender, as well as the

importance of men-women partnerships that will contribute to development of women-owned

businesses.

The FY21 target for indicator GNDR-4 is 70%. The table above shows pre- and post-training test

results of male participants. Based on the scoring, pre-test results show that 8 men indicated very low

agreement with gender equality principles, 737 men indicated low agreement principles, 300 men

indicated good agreement, and 25 men indicated strong agreement. The post-test showed significantly

improved results. The number of men with a strong agreement score of 81-100 increased by 581 men,

from 25 to 606, and the number of men with a score of 41-80 increased by 164 men, from 300 to

464. There were no participants who indicated very low or low agreement in the post-test. JAPRI can

conclude that 1070 of 1,243 (86%) male participants reporting increased agreement to support a

household partnership that leads to the fair distribution of roles in domestic work.

Meaningful integration of gender equality needs to consider women’s roles and responsibilities in

households, ensure access to opportunities and services, while also enable women’s voices in decision-

making opportunities. A good support system can be started through increasing agreement between

men and women in the communities. The statements of male participants clearly indicate their

awareness and understanding related to gender equality as well as household partnership to eliminate

multiple burdens and avoid the potential for gender-based violence. They also agreed that fair

distribution of roles between males and females in any responsibilities will potentially contribute to

the development of women businesses. Women who are running businesses are often faced with

multiple challenges such as access to markets, access to capacity building, and cultural barriers. Men

are expected to champion women’s economic empowerment and support a more conducive

environment for women businesses.

JAPRI analyzed the statements of male participants through open ended questions which refer to the

four gender analysis variables: access, control, benefit, and participation. The statements indicating the

male participants agreed to the concepts of males and females should have equal access are following:

● Access: Women can access information and claim their rights. Without equal access, women

have less opportunity to reach their full potential, both in terms of economy and social life.

Women have the rights to develop their skills and gain knowledge by participating in capacity

development trainings. Male participants are willing to accompany and take women to the

training venues, facilitate transportation for women, provide financial allowance, etc.

● Benefit: Women benefit from their enterprises. Women can obtain a business license for

more opportunities, particularly with regards to branding, distribution, and business security.

Another benefit for women is to access finances from a government assistance loan program.

The male participants are ready to accompany women to financial institutions and become a

guarantor for the loans.

● Control: Decision-making is part of women's right to determine what they want to do in

their lives. The male participants are willing to enable women’s voices through decision making

opportunities, motivate women to determine their own concepts, strategies, and steps in

running business, do not force or interfere with women’s decisions, and let women take

control of their own businesses.

● Participation: Sharing roles for household tasks is a part of upholding gender equity in the

domestic sphere. The male participants are ready to be involved in domestic works such as

taking care of children, cooking and cleaning while the women are on duty with their own

businesses.

Goal: Number of individuals reporting legalized business

FY 21

Target

FY21

Achieved

1,626 1,791

JAPRI has run a data collection process to list the number of women-owned businesses who have

registered for a business license. This indicator defines the number of JAPRI beneficiaries who reported

to have their business legalized proven with having business license upon completing JAPRI’s

entrepreneurship assistance. In WEE, JAPRI employs two tools to collect data for this indicator:

• Coaching logs, filled by local business coach during coaching activity;

• Business improvement surveys, filled by direct beneficiaries in mentoring activity.

By using the same tools to measure beneficiaries’ business improvement, JAPRI asks specific questions

regarding the possession of a business license. JAPRI is working together with its stakeholders to

encourage and assist youth to apply for business licenses by providing them with the necessary

information.

The legalized business counted in this indicator is beneficiaries who at least have Business Certificate

(Surat Keterangan Usaha/SKU) from a village-level office. Product-specific licenses are also accepted

for this indicator, such as PIRT, BPOM and Halal MUI for food or beverages.

For FY21, JAPRI set a target of 1,519 microenterprises. JAPRI recorded 1,791 women reporting a

legalized business. This result indicated the FY21 achievements exceeded the FY21 target.

Annual Report FY21

Cooperative Agreement No. AID-497-A-17-00005

JAdi Pengusaha MandiRI (JAPRI) Program

79

Through mentoring for business legalization, JAPRI successfully supported 1,791 women to register

their businesses. Most of these youths came from Bangkalan as the local trainers were very committed

to providing a full range of assistance for their entrepreneurship training participants. JAPRI also held

an ODBT in Bangkalan where 212 of its participants acquired IUMK licenses following their completion

of the training. The high contribution from Gresik and Surabaya was due to mentoring for ODBT

participants from Surabaya and Gresik back in FY20, as well as an ODBT in Surabaya conducted for

JAPRI Full Implementation by Pandawa Nusantara, where506 female youths from Surabaya registered

their businesses this year.

Besides mentoring, JAPRI also assigned local coaches to support their coaching participants in applying

for business licenses as an expected output of business coaching. JAPRI equipped all stakeholders with

knowledge on how to apply for business licenses through the Online Single Submission (OSS) website,

but many local trainers still found this process difficult. This was because of small technical problems,

such as forgetting their username and passwords and having to re-register with a different username

and password. In those cases, the change had to be verified first by the administrator and that process

took several days.

Female youths with legalized businesses were mostly aged 20-24 years old (758 women out of 1,791).

The distribution based on age did not show any significant distinction between three age groups since

the application process through OSS website was very easy and fast, so that younger beneficiaries could

apply themselves using their smartphones.

From the total of 1,791 youth reported under this indicator, 722 were the owners of culinary businesses

and 406 ran fashion businesses. The third largest contributor was trading and retail sector where most

of female youths offered daily necessities or household appliances through online means.

Across all business sector, NIB or IUMK permits were the most common business license acquired by

female youths following JAPRI training. SKU permits were also popular as they were issued by the village

governments.

To invite participants to join mentoring for business legalization, JAPRI promoted the importance of

having a business license. Many youths were not aware the importance and some had even avoided

having one. In FY21, JAPRI saw the opportunity to promote business legalization through providing seed

funding and placed higher priority on registered businesses as potential recipients. At the same time,

the GOI, through the Ministry of Cooperatives and SMEs, also required business licenses (in the form

of NIB or SKU) as part of its application to receive SME financial aid from the government.

programming multiplied by 100. Completing the workforce development program means that the

women have met 100% completion of at least one of JAPRI’s trainings, either directly implemented by

JAPRI or its stakeholders. In this case, JAPRI stakeholders are those who previously participated in the

JAPRI ToT.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, JAPRI migrated all ODBT and ET activities fully online. The delivery

of the materials was more flexible and could be delivered in sessions according to the participants’

needs and availability. The ET schemes were developed by JAPRI itself by utilizing Google Classroom

to provide access to embedded videos as well as the downloadable JAPRI electronic modules and

worksheets. The ET trainers and participants had to log in to Google Classroom to access the

uploaded materials. Once logged in, participants must fill in a registration form in order to record

attendance.

For FY21, JAPRI set a target of 100% of 4,705 women for EG.6-14. This target was reached in FY21

from JAPRI trainings held in four cities around East Java. Participants from Trenggalek contributed the

highest number with 1,898 women, as Trenggalek itself has more local trainers than other districts.

Bangkalan was the second highest, with 1,575 women participating in JAPRI trainings in FY21. JAPRI also

held an online ODBT in Bangkalan together with Tri Surya Jaya as implementing partner, and local

trainers were very quick to realize their action plans after the ToT finished in March 2021.

The number of women benefiting from JAPRI training was balanced across age groups, especially in the

two older age groups, 20-24 and 25-29, with 1,882 and 1,807 participants respectively.

By attending JAPRI’s training, participants gained basic knowledge of entrepreneurship and were

encouraged to create their own business plan. Most women had previously learned about

entrepreneurship through experience and without proper training. Thus, it was not surprising that many

female youths expressed that they only found out how to set the right price for their products and

services after attending a JAPRI training. The entrepreneurship knowledge provided in JAPRI

entrepreneurship module was made to be general so it could be applicable across different business

types and sectors.

80% 69%

Indicator EG.6-13 collects the data of women aged 18-29 who have improved skills after completing

JAPRI’s training. For this section, EG.6-13 does not need to disaggregate data by gender because JAPRI

WEE only engages women beneficiaries for training, coaching, and mentoring. Percent of individuals is

the number of individuals with better results at post-test divided by the total number of individuals

who participate in skills programming multiplied by 100. Completing the workforce development

program means that P&V youths have completed 100% of at least one of JAPRI’s trainings, carried out

by JAPRI or its stakeholders, such as the ODBT and ET.

An improved skill is measured by utilizing a business plan; that is, how participants created components

for the BMC, such as information on production, marketing, or finances. JAPRI provided the business

plan worksheet through a Google Form sent to participants via WhatsApp messenger. The participants

wrote their business plans and submitted them to JAPRI. A completed BMC indicates improved skills

toward an intermediate that linked to a longer-term workforce outcome, such as new employment

and increased earnings.

Several measures are used to calculate improved skills by using an online business plan and BMC which

contained business product, marketing strategy and financial plan. In the business plan form,

participants write their business idea related to at least one of these three variables. Differentiation of

products refers to variants in business products produced to meet customer preferences. Marketing

refers to the strategies and methods used to promote and sell products to various customers.

Of the 4,705 female youths who completed JAPRI’s training, 3,229 (69%) showed improved skills. On

a percentage basis, this result has not reached the FY21 target. This was due to the large number of

women participants who registered and completed the online training. However, in absolute numbers,

3,229 has reached the FY21 target and LOP target as stated in the JAPRI agreement.

Participants’ skill improvement is calculated

through an online business plan and BMC form in

which they completed by the end of training. This

period, most beneficiaries developed a better skill

in creating marketing strategies as well as financial

planning for their business. Marketing refers to

the strategies or methods used to promote and

sell products to potential customers. While

financial planning mostly refers to identifying and

calculating the cost for business operation,

production, equipment and marketing.

In terms of age, female youth with improved skills

were mostly 20-24 years old. The trend was

consistent with the achievement in F.EG. 6-3, with

25-29 years old in the second place.

Indicator ES.1-12 counts individuals from JAPRI stakeholders (such as education administrators and

officials) who are involved in the organization, management, operations, and support within education

systems. This refers to a representative from a HEI, local government, or community group who

completed 100% participation in a JAPRI ToT or ToC and received a JAPRI certificate of completion.

Once they fully complete the ToT or ToC, they are certified as a trainer or a coach and become

eligible to deliver the JAPRI materials to women beneficiaries. They are counted as education

administrators and officials who gained competencies, such as entrepreneurial knowledge and skills,

from JAPRI’s ToT or ToC.

For FY21, JAPRI set a target of 78 for ES.1-12. JAPRI surpassed this target, reaching 81 individuals

across the program’s stakeholders who are involved in the organization, management, operations, and

support within education systems. Most participants were members of local communities committed

to delivering the JAPRI module through entrepreneurship training. To recruit the ToT participants,

JAPRI closely collaborated with the Office of Social Service, Child Protection and Women

Empowerment (Dinsos P3A) of Trenggalek, District Head of Trenggalek, and local government of Blitar.

In the recruitment process, persons with experience in community empowerment were preferred as

training participants. This is important because following the course, the certified trainers were

required to deliver the JAPRI entrepreneurship module to young women in their assisted communities.

After attending JAPRI’s ToT, participants were mandated to deliver the JAPRI entrepreneurship module

to at least 20 women with a business and 20 female youth with no prior experience in running a

business. To meet this requirement, participants of ToT must submit list of potential beneficiaries from

their respective areas to be eligible in attending ToT. This list also shows participants initial commitment

and readiness in delivering JAPRI module afterwards.

JAPRI then held a ToC to equip representatives of local communities with knowledge on how to

conduct business coaching. To be JAPRI local coach, participants must deliver business coaching session

to JAPRI beneficiaries in their respective areas.

Individuals who attended both a ToT and ToC can still be counted as participants in both activities as

the capacity development of these trainings were different.

FY 21

Target

Achieved

1,214 1,243

This indicator counts male participants who completed 100% participation in a JAPRI gender training.

The male participants are individuals in surrounding environments or within the households that are

closest in relationship (husband, father, sibling, etc.) with women who previously participated in ET.

This is a requirement in JAPRI gender training in order for men and women to establish effective allies

to the development of women-owned businesses. Once they fully complete the gender training, they

are counted as male beneficiaries trained to become effective allies of women entrepreneurs.

Since JAPRI WEE is mandated to provide capacity development support for women-run businesses,

gender equality is an essential topic to be included in trainings. Women who are running businesses

face multiple challenges such as cultural barriers and access to markets and capacity building. One

challenge that significantly impacts female entrepreneurs’ potential for growth is that they are often

multiple burdened with domestic responsibilities. As a result, JAPRI gender trainers deliver the basic

concepts of gender equality to the male participants. JAPRI expects the male participants to then pass

on messages of gender equality to others in their communities.

For FY21, JAPRI set a target of 1,214 for this indicator. This target was surpassed, as JAPRI recorded

that 1,243 male beneficiaries were trained to become effective allies of women entrepreneurs.

After completed the JAPRI gender training, the male participants received new knowledges about the

differences of sex and gender, the concepts of gender equality, male roles to support women

entrepreneurs, as well as the importance of men-women partnership within the households and the

communities. The main results of gender trainings are following:

● 1,243 male participants comprehensively comprehend the differences of sex and gender

concepts;

● 86% of male participants agreed with the concept that males and females should have equal

access to social, economic, and political resources and opportunities;

● 86% of male participants were ready to contribute and support women by providing capacity

development activities to improve women’ skills in businesses, distributing balanced domestic

roles, accompanying women entrepreneurs to financial institutions, etc.

As mentioned earlier, gender trainings were delivered online due to the COVID-19 pandemic. JAPRI

developed several video-based gender materials, adopted from JAPRI gender modules, and utilized

public platforms such as WhatsApp and Google Drive to deliver the materials. Participants accessed

the videos through an embedded link via WhatsApp as well as filling in the pre- and post-training

survey to assess men’s attitudes towards gender equality. In the recruitment process, women who

previously participated in ETs recommended the men in their households to participate in gender

training. This is important because following the training, the men are expected to will be better able

to contribute to development of women-owned businesses.

Annex II: Success Stories

Kavina Cosmetics in Ketetang Village, Kwanyar, Bangkalan, which she initially started

when she was in high school. At the time, she launched an online shop where she used

to sell various fashion products on Facebook and in online chat groups, selling to friends

around high school.

Then after graduating from high school, Ayu was determined to build her small business.

She slowly began building her business and eventually opened a cosmetic shop, where

she now supports several employees who help her sell product.

Ayu's journey to opening a business was not a short one. Ayu attended entrepreneurship

training provided by USAID JAPRI in Ketetang Village. From this training, Ayu learned

how to effectively communicate with customers to market the products she sells.

Thanks to JAPRI, Ayu also received material on how to manage finances. Ayu says this

was essential to her success, admitting that she was not very good at managing finances.

Now that Ayu has a shop, she understands that financial records are essential, especially

so that her employees can follow her example. JAPRI has supported Ayu in making sure

her finances are well-controlled and, just as importantly, it has helped her become more

confident in her business management skills.

JAdi Pengusaha MandiRI Youth Become Courageous Entrepreneurs Through JAPRI Training

“JAPRI is an opportunity

for young people like me

to be brave to open an

own business. With more

confidence and

enthusiasm, young people

can certainly create job

opportunities for people

in need.” - Ayu Maghfiroh

After receiving training from

JAPRI, Ayu applied the

learning materials to her

business, one of which was

expanding online marketing.

Ayu learned how to make

simple designs and how to

make good captions on social

media. Ayu now uses social

media as a selling platform,

where her customers can find

out the latest products sold at

the Kavina Kosmetik Store.

Impact After graduating from high school, students have the

choice to continue with formal education, work, or

even become entrepreneurs. Not all youth have the

opportunity to pursue higher education given issues

of access and cost, but work opportunities are also

limited. There are a small number of jobs available for

a huge youth population in Indonesia. The option of

becoming an entrepreneur then becomes a choice

that many people think about, but it requires strong

motivation and entails risk. Many shy away from

entrepreneurship because they understand that

starting and successfully running a business is anything

but easy. However, Ayu Maghfiroh (21), is not one of

those people.

Ayu is a high school graduate who fully embraced

entrepreneurship after finishing school. She runs

basis for understanding that men and women should have equal rights in life,

including accepting that women can choose to become entrepreneurs.

Gender-focused training was entirely new for Samsul and he considers all of

the JAPRI training materials as new knowledge that he has gained. He also found

the online training format to be hugely helpful, as he found it to be more

effective and efficient that it would have been if help in person. The area where

he lives is far from the city center so if in-person training is held there, he has

to spend more time on the road, which costs more and is tiring.

After participating in the gender equality training, he entirely changed his view

of his wife, Fitri Mardinawati. He now supports his wife in being actively

involved in activities in the public sphere, including encouraging her to

participate in every USAID JAPRI activity. Accordingly, she started as a JAPRI

participant and has since become an entrepreneurship trainer. Samsul also

realized his wife's potential in business and as such, he now fully encourages his

wife to continue learning, such as attending webinars to increase knowledge in

entrepreneurship.

Samsu is very grateful for the time he spent participating in JAPRI activities and

for the knowledge he received from the gender equality training. As a result of

this experience, Samsul with his wife now run a business together and share

tasks, jointly trying new variations of frozen food, such as tempura, to sell.

From Exclusion to Joint Venture:

Husband and Wife Learn How to Run Business Together

“Through gender

equality training, [I

learned that] wives

and husbands must

have solid

cooperation with

each other, both in

public and domestic

spaces. Remember:

anything at home is a

shared responsibility.” - Samsul

The lessons Samsul learned

in the JAPRI gender equality

training did not stop at

home. He also realized the

great potential of women at

large. For this reason, as the

chairman of the Village

Consultative Institute (BPD)

of Manggis Village,

Trenggalek Regency, Samsul

began to pay attention to

and involve women in this

institution so women can

also be actively involved in

village development.

Impact Samsul Arifin (32) is one of the participants in

the USAID JAPRI Gender Equality Training.

Every day he works as a farmer in Trenggalek

Regency. Before participating in a USAID JAPRI

gender equality training, Samsul viewed women

as having position behind men, meaning they

should not be involved in many aspects of daily

life outside the home. In the past, he even

forbade his wife to work because he thought

that earning a living was only the husband's

responsibility. He had started many businesses

in the past, but had never involved his wife, nor

shared with her any of the problems he faced.

The JAPRI training material that stuck with him

the most was understanding concepts of sex

and gender. According to Samsul, this is the

Yuslillah began studying health therapy and was excited because she herself had

experienced mental health problems and wanted to help heal others. Since she had

training in cupping therapy, she decided to open a cupping therapy business. Though

she had customers for her cupping business, she also channeled her energy into

gardening, caring for nutritious plants that had health benefits. One of those plants was

passionfruit and, when harvested, she had many to sell. She eventually had the idea that

her village could become more as an educational place for passion fruit. Yuslillah invited

residents around to her house to learn how to plant passion fruit, explaining that it

could help supplement their incomes, but people didn’t follow her lead.

Though she had been declared recovered from her mental health challenges, Yuslillah

found it challenging to carry out activities in the community given people’s knowledge

about her health condition. She realized that she needed to be part of a community

that understood her and eventually joined mental health communities, including the

Indonesian Schizophrenia Care Community (KPSI). She even became the treasurer of

KPSI. Finally, Yuslillah realized that she was comfortable with social activities when she

could fight for disability rights.

When Yuslillah learned about the opportunity to participate in the USAID JAPRI

entrepreneurship training activities, she immediately registered to become a

participant. She recognized that activities which can help people with disabilities

become independent are very much needed. Moreover, she wanted her idea of passion

fruit educational tourism to be accepted and tested in her area.

Since joining the JAPRI program, Yuslillah has been active in promoting the Gunung

Wedon Tourism Village, where there are educational tours for planting and picking

passion fruit. Gunung Wedon Tourism Village, in collaboration with residents, has been

open to the public since August 17, 2021. It is hoped that in the future, Gunung Wedon

Tourism will have a souvenir center where Yuslillah’s friends in the disabled community

who produce handicrafts or food can sell their work at the souvenir center.

natal depression after giving birth to her second

child. In 2007, Yuslillah spent time in hospital

receiving treatment and was eventually able to

return home when she was declared to have

recovered. However, life was not as easy for

Yuslillah as it had been before. She sometimes had

difficulties expressing herself and people didn’t

understand what she was trying to say.
