Partnership Agreement with Dekranasda of West Java – On November 23, 2021, YCAB Foundation signed a collaboration with the West Java Regional National Crafts Council (Dekranasda) at Taman Mini Indonesia Indah. The signing was carried out by Adelle Odelia Tanuri, as the Secretary-General of YCAB Foundation, and Atalia Praratya Ridwan Kamil, as Chair of the West Java Dekranasda. This collaboration, which focuses on access to education and economic empowerment, targets the potential of West Java as the province with the most population in Indonesia.

Ongoing and upcoming collaborations between YCAB Foundation and Dekranasda and the West Java Provincial Government are:

• The Covid-19 Economic Recovery – Targeting women-owned MSMEs in DKI Jakarta, West Java, Banten, and Central Java to have resilience in times of pandemic. Participants received pieces of training, namely financial literacy, digital marketing, investment & savings, making business licenses, and business incubation by being given business capital. This program is targeted to reach 10,000 women-owned MSMEs.
• Karya Perempuan program provides training in financial literacy and business digitization. This program targets women-owned MSMEs, in 8 regions, one of which is West Java. This program has reached more than 250 women-owned MSMEs.
• i-SERVE Vaccine program in West Java targets the general public, people with disabilities, marginalized communities, and youth. This program has successfully administered vaccination to more than 10,000 people.
• Rumah Belajar Batik Tasikmalaya by YCAB Foundation initiates holistic and integrated interventions with the mission of empowering the community to become batik entrepreneurs (batikpreneur), building sustainable businesses to create jobs, and improve welfare.

“I have 3 hopes for Indonesia’s welfare: first, I want Indonesia to digitize more students, teachers, and women MSME entrepreneurs because we have all entered an all-digital era. Second, the development of the creative economy and everything related to preserving cultural heritage and empowering the community’s economy. Third, I hope that YCAB Foundation will continue to collaborate and produce more programs that have an impact with leaders in West Java because we all have the same mission, which is to break the chain of poverty and fight for Indonesian MSMEs so that they can keep thriving and moving forward”, said Adelle Odelia Tanuri, Secretary-General of the YCAB Foundation.

As Covid-19 brought a sea of change to our world, programs, and collaborations by the YCAB Foundation and Dekranasda of West Java are hoped to provide hope for economic recovery and humanity through this pandemic and beyond.
