MADANI’s CSO Partners Represent Indonesia at Digital Economy Workshop in South Korea.

Jul 6, 2023

From July 3-12, 2023, two of USAID MADANI's CSO partners, Persepsi in Klaten (Central Java) and PPSW in Lebak (Banten), are among the three Indonesian CSOs that are participating in a Training of Trainers workshop at the Sookmyung Women’s University in South Korea.

The goal of the workshop, which focuses on digital skills and e-business training, is to accelerate participation in the digital economy among female owners of micro- and small businesses in the ASEAN region. More than 200 participants from the ASEAN member states are attending the workshop, hosted by the university’s Asia Pacific Women’s Information Center. Participants in the workshop are learning new digital skills and practical knowledge on e-business, hearing best practices shared by accomplished women entrepreneurs from South Korea, and networking among key stakeholders at the event. With their new knowledge and skills around digital marketing, Persepsi and PPSW will better be able to not only improve their own internal resource mobilization, but also provide capacity development to poor households and women on using digital business tools, part of MADANI’s goal of local CSOs becoming innovators and leaders in their hometowns.
