Since its inception in Indonesia more than 50 years ago, Swisscontact has been known for its expertise in skills development, sustainable agriculture, green cities, sustainable tourism, entrepreneurial ecosystem, and trade. Swisscontact Indonesia currently implements three programs and project as follows.
The Swiss Skills for Competitiveness (SS4C) Program aims to strengthen dual vocational education and training (dVET) providers to match graduates’ skills with industry needs, thereby boosting the productivity and competitiveness of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). It is also a testament of Swisscontact’s lasting commitment in supporting Indonesia’s skills development initiatives, which started with setting up the country’s first polytechnic in the 1970s.
The Leuser Alas-Singkil River Basin (LASR) Project, part of the Sustainable Landscape Program Indonesia (SLPI), aims to promote improved land use management that supports climate-resilient economic development across three districts in the Leuser Ecosystem using a jurisdictional landscape approach. Building on the success of earlier single-commodity initiatives like the Sustainable Cocoa Production Program (SCPP), LASR by Swisscontact focuses on collaboration with government and commodity supply chains to drive equitable economic and environmental development.
The Swiss Import Promotion Programme (SIPPO) aims to support the Business Support Organisations (BSOs) to bring developing and transitioning nations into international trade. Currently in its Phase II (2021-2025), SIPPO focuses on capacity building strategy to enhance market access to Switzerland and European Union for the BSOs in 12 partner countries, including Indonesia.
