he Women's Empowerment and Child Protection Ministry has teamed up with UK-Indonesia Tech Hub -- a technology and innovation hub initiated by the British Embassy in Jakarta -- to launch a training program for Indonesian women who own micro and ultra-micro enterprises.
Dubbed HERfuture, the program aims to increase digital literacy among women entrepreneurs and to help them maximize the use of technology to support their businesses.
In cooperation with unique fashion company Du' Anyam, the ministry is set to implement the program in six regencies and cities across the archipelago, namely Central Lombok in West Nusa Tenggara, Rembang and Kendal in Central Java, Central Bangka in Bangka Belitung, Cilegon in Banten and Palembang in South Sumatra.
Around 100 women entrepreneurs have been selected to join the two-month online training courses.
Women's Empowerment and Child Protection Minister Bintang Puspayoga said the training could help small and medium enterprises (SMEs) cushion the economic impact brought by the coronavirus pandemic.
