INDONESIA Qver tha past decade ldonesia has been suceessfully reducing tts dependenct on oil and gas expottr thrcugh a growing and increasingly diverse baskef of axporls, particularly in the fumiture and fexffles secfors.. Neverfheloss tie benefls of tnde have not yet reachad many regions and groups within this countd, particularly vnmen. lndonesian wotnon amaunt for 65 perceni af tne country's informal sactor, where there is no job secuity, wages are low, workers' rights are not pratectad and the women are denied socla/ secunty benefits'. lndonesia is also actively pursuing trade to Canada as pail of [s exporl growth and dlversification strategy. They have alrcady made several invastmants in this regard such as by translating TFO's Exporting to Canada Handbook rnfo Bafiasa lndonesia and contracting a cusfomlsed sfudy of the footwear market in Canada, and they are planning on opening a dedicated trade offiw in Canada sometime in 2009-10. Early in 2008, TFO rcceireor a reguest fnm lndonesian trade afficials far tnde development support pafticulady in the fields of axporter tnining, trade in seruices and fumitura erporls to Canada. Given the oppartunity to provide trade related technicalassisfance that will also address some of the gender imbalances in lndonesia's ecpnomic growth, IFO has agraed to include lndonesia as ds onlyAslan Partner Cauntry forthis Prognm.
Trade and Development Priorities According to the National Agency for Export Development (NAFED), a branch of the Ministry of Trade of Indonesia, their trade priorities are to "Manifest Sre competitiveness of Indoneslan's non-oil and gas global product and intensify the role of non-oil and gas export in order to stirnulate the National Eeonornie Growth.' According to their mission statement, fiey hope to achieve their priority by increasing the competitiveness of product and services exports. Secondly, they hope to shengthen the institutions of export development and increase the eryporters' competence to enter to global market as a way of reducing poverty and unemployment rates". Indonesia's exports to Canada suggest that the country has been successful in this effort. Exports to Canada have grown sbadily from 2003 when they stood at 664 million USD to 929 million in 2007 (i,e. growth ol 4lo/o over 4 years). Despite this grow$r Indonesia, one of the most populous countries in the world, has relatively modest per capita exports to Canada: $2,86 per person, similar to Nicaragua but welt below that of Ecuador and Guyana.
ln 2007, Indonesian exports to the US were $14.3 billion, and alfrough this was down slightly tom 2006, from 2003 to 2007 they also gtew by approximately 40o/o. The tables below show that both North American counfies also import similar producta from lndonesia, For example, Canada's top ten noncommodity imports include four from the textile industry. The United States has seven textile related products in its top ten lisi of non-commodity imports.
The second most succEssful non-commodity export industry in Indonesia is fumihrre. The tables show that both canada and the us import a simllar amouRt of wooden tumitufe horn lndoResia on a pei eapita basis. Canadian imports of bedroom fumiture in particular have lagged behind their U.S. counterparts. Yet Canada appears poised for grorvth in this sector. Per capitia, the US lmports a much larger amount of bedroom fumiture than Canada. YeL combined bedroom and wooden fumiture sales to Canada have grown 62% from 2003 to 2007. Furthermore, a greater number of smaller businesses are also entering the furniture industry in Indonesiaa, which presenti an opportunig to promob job creation and contribute to pover$ reduction.

Another priorig for Indonesia is the services sector, which holds strong potential for irnpact on employmint, in 2005 service exports from Indonesia to Canada were $84 million", unchanged from eOCiO,
bnnough service imports from other parts of Asia had grown by over 660/o during that same period

Many donor trade initiatives are helping lndonesia achieve its potential to export by means of training and empioyment creation. In 2004, the US ereatad the "Growth through Investment, Agriculture and Trade" (GlAn Project. Poject activities include the devefopment and impleme"ntation of social and poverty ieducfion lbticies in the context of globalization and WTO accession". Two years later, Aushalla implement6d a similar project to support the Indonesian Government including assisting wttf the MihFtry's strategic traOe iotiCl diiectioh. Thbir oveiall actlvities also target social and poverty reduction, Table 2 -

Since 2003, the EU-funded lndonesia Trade Support Program has been helping to simplify international trade procedures. Trade procedures include the activilies,-practices and formalities involvei in collecting, presenting, communicating and processing data and oth'er information requlred for
the movement of
goods in international trade.
Donor efforts have also focused on environmental production, since Indonesia is a leader in wooden furnilyle exports, the mana€ement of its forests is vitil for the long term survival of the industry. In 2002, !!q. US developed an initiative to improve the Rattan resourci management and trading- system in Kalimantan. This is an integrated approach towards conservation and r{eneration of natural resources and economic development in Kalimantan. The initiative also contributei to better forest management and community-based sustainable economic development of Katimantan, by improving nitural resource management in general, and the resource management and trading system fbr rattan iriparticular. Canada has also been prgsent in lndonesia. Canadian aid has contributed to trade capacig building througlt bitateral private Ttgtor enterprise development activities. In addition, CIDA recenily launched new Canada Indonesia Private Sector Enterpriie Development project (itpSeo) which touches on exporting in addition to its primary focus on noncxport areas of busineis Oevetopment services, including
i
micro'finance.
Proposed Interuentions and Rationale In its Indonesia orogram TFO will combine its posltive experience in women-oriented trade devetopment programming with Indonesia's success in growing its export base including exports to Canada. The principal focus of TFo's proposed interventions iJ to ttrui help "tevet tne piaying fietO; wittr respect to ?Tssl to trade support services for businesswomen in Indonesia. This prografr has been devetoped
following consultations w1S^!ne Embassy of Indonesia to Canada (trade sdtiin; ino ine Indonesian e.xnqrt Training Gentre.(IETC). Whyte ReyTFgr the lead executing agency for th6 CtpSED project has also been consulled to identif, areas where CIPSED and TFO's actiiitiel could complement one another.
l) Exportino for Businesswomen Pr.oju-am Since 2005 TFO Canada has been offering a specialised program in trade training and support for businesswomen. The program grew out ol an initiative nriroel by CIDA (Canada-Fund foi Africa), ACCFSSI for African Businesswomen in International Trade, and it has now been implemented in over ten counbies. This program of trade haining is delivered in four stages: 1.

Speafc G en de r Con sid e ration s : This program is designed to specifically address gender differences in trade support for businesswomen, inctuding trade kaining. This will be achieved by including businesswomen-specific examples and case studies in the training material, by orienting the materialtowards sectors and issues that are of a greater interest to businesswomen in Indonesia, and via an outreach program by host trade support institutions to businesswomen who are typically well served by non gender specific trade support programs. Spec/?c Enviro n me nt Considerafions: None specific to this activity Specific Rrbk Consde rations: None specific to this activity
Resourcs Requ ircments (excluding projecUprcgra m managemant and overh eads) : The total resource requirement ls $130,000 of which financing of $88,000 (68%) is requested *om CIDA (see Annex B for delalled budget workings). I mptementation Partner
IETC will be the initiat lead implementation partner, particularly for lhe train-the-trainer phase of this project; however the exporter training and mentoring phases will be implemented by one or more businesswomen's associations. These will be confirmed during the planning phase of this program.
Proposed Partners The lead overall partner for this country program will be the Indonesia Export Training Centre (IETC). Additional partners will be involved with the delivery of specific components, as described above. These will be determined during the planning phase of the program. TFO will coordinate with the CIPSED project and wherever possible complement existing program activities (e.9. CIPSED's support for ihe Indonesian Businesswomen's Association in South Sulawesi), TFO will atso liaise with other donor activilies in lndonesia to ensure complementarities with its program, particularly those of the EU and USAID. IETC is already a pafiner with the CBI from the Netherlands with whom it is implementing an export training/coaching program. TFO's proposed intervention with IETC has been developed in a manner that complements the support provided by CBI by strenglhening IETC's capacity to outreach directly to businesswomen in lndonesia, particularly those in disadvantaged regions.
Indonesla Export Tralning Gentre (IETC) The Indonesia Export Training Centre currently manages education, training and consultation services. Its Professional Education on Export Managemenf program aims to train participants to think globally and improve professional exporUimport management. lts training programs include the following topics: intemational trade; product development; export promotiorlexport communication; export marketing strategy; quality; and competition management. Finally, IETC's consulting services include: support to ldentifiy foreign buyers and trade partners; preparation of promotional tools; perticipation in international exhibitions; negotiating with overseas buyers; and export cost calculations,
IETC's activities in integrating education and export training aim to increase the nurnber of exporters, subsequenily increasing Indonesia's export value in the global market. IETC focuses on building and improving product image in lndonesia, a rnust in today's competltive global market. According to the Minister of Trade, the existence and development of IETC will continuously be required to improve Human Resources Development in exports, especially in transforming local enhepreneurs into €xporters. IETC cooperateg with domestic entrepreneurs and business professionals. The Centre organizes expofi
