Democratic Governance

Making Democratic Governance Deliver

In the 12 years since Reformasi, Indonesia has emerged as a regional leader in democracy and is globally recognized for its diversity and pluralism. However, challenges remain and democratic governance has yet to produce tangible benefits for many Indonesians.

Disaster Management

Economic Growth

Increased Employment

USAID focuses on programs for improving the policy environment for rapid, inclusive and sustainable economic growth and on the production and marketing of high value crops, particularly coffee, cocoa, and horticulture, including related agribusiness. Resulting increase in production and economic growth should generate substantial employment to increase incomes and reduce poverty.

Education

Preparing Indonesian Students for Learning, Work, and Community

To support initiatives to expand access to quality Basic Education and improved quality and relevance of Higher Education, USAID/Indonesia’s programming embraces the U.S.-Indonesia Comprehensive Partnership and recognizes the leadership role the Government of Indonesia (GOI) plays in its own development.

Environment

Improving Management of Natural Resources

Natural resource depletion and global climate change are the defining human development issues of this generation. Indonesia is grappling with high rates of marine and terrestrial ecosystem degradation. A primary contributor to greenhouse gases (GHG), Indonesia’s deforestation rates are among the highest in the world. Domestic energy demands are increasing exponentially and mostly being met by additional fossil fuel consumption. Located on the Ring of Fire, this archipelago is particularly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change and disasters. While the environmental challenges are daunting, Indonesia and the United States are poised to work collaboratively in finding effective solutions. The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) is responding by building partnerships with Indonesian communities, government, civil-society organizations and businesses to meet these environmental challenges.

Global Engagement

Global Engagement

Today we have a unique opportunity to create a deeper, more strategic partnership with Indonesia. Concerted diplomatic, development and public outreach efforts are fully underway to engage Indonesia’s large Muslim population. While significant progress has been made, we believe more can be done. USAID remains engaged with local leaders and organizations to support their efforts in promoting messages consistent with local cultural and religious values in this country, where 86% are Muslims

Health

Improving Health of Indonesian

USAID is partnering with the Government of Indonesia to improve the health of mothers and children and to prevent and treat infectious diseases, including tuberculosis, HIV/AIDS, neglected tropical diseases, and avian and pandemic influenza. Under President Obama’s Global Health Initiative (GHI), the US Government will help catalyze action to accelerate Indonesia’s achievement of health-related MDGs, build capacity and enhance the use of quality research and evidence for policy and programming, and partner with Indonesia to address regional and global infectious disease threats.

Interfaith Dialogue

Interfaith Dialogue

USAID remains engaged with local leaders and organizations to support their efforts in promoting messages consistent with local cultural and religious values in Indonesia. While Indonesia remains culturally and linguistically quite diverse, its religious composition is 86 percent Muslim. As such, USAID keenly understands the importance of remaining sensitive to the values, norms and traditions of Indonesia’s Muslim communities.

Participant Training & Scholarship

Participant Training & Scholarship

PRESTASI will continue to support the tradition of participant training and human capacity development by providing opportunities for advanced academic degrees in the U.S. and Indonesia.

Public-Private Partnerships

Public-Private Partnerships

The Global Development Alliance (GDA) is an innovative public-private alliance model for improving social and economic conditions in developing countries. The GDA combines the assets and experience of strategic partners, leveraging their capital and investments, creativity and access to markets to solve complex problems facing government, business, and communities. This approach to partnership relies on the overlapping interests of the U.S. Government's strategic objectives for foreign assistance and the core business goals of industry.
