closed

The project would contribute to improving the human capital of the poor, through enhancing their basic education and income-generating skills. The project would have three parts: the Basic Program (BP) would continue the provision of basic literacy to illiterates and primary school dropouts; the intensive program (IP) would implement a special strategy especially targeted to low-income beneficiaries; and the national support services component would strengthen the Directorate of Community Education (DIKMAS) in their capacity to deliver the IP. The IP components include: upgrading of private vocational courses, including scholarships; expansion of an informal apprenticeship program; training in small business management skills and technical assistance to "Kejar Usaha" (KU) income-generating groups.
