Description and results
Description
The project aims to facilitate trade and investment for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Indonesia, with a focus on those owned and operated by women. Recognizing that SMEs are the drivers for poverty reduction and economic growth in Indonesia, the project works with the Indonesian government, private sector organizations, and trade policy experts to address regulatory constraints related to Indonesian SME development and access to markets. The project also provides targeted advisory services to develop commercial opportunities for promising Indonesian SMEs. It promotes Canadian investment opportunities in Indonesia through market research and exchanges between the Canadian and Indonesian business communities.
Expected results
The expected outcomes for this project include: (1) increased sustainable and gender-responsive trade and investment opportunities, particularly for small and medium enterprises (SMEs), between Indonesia and Canada; and (2) increased use of trade and investment analysis and regulatory reform by Indonesian stakeholders for expanded trade and investment partnerships between Indonesia and Canada.
