Indonesia project 497-0376 · 1992 · private sector competitiveness

Project to strengthen the provision of business services needed to increase the competitiveness of private enterprises in Indonesia. Up to five modules, each focused on a particular type of business service, will be developed, including modules in accounting and audit, voluntary business services, and joint venture promotion. Each module will address weaknesses in business services across three levels. (1) At the sectoral or industry level, the project will strengthen the quality, uniformity, and accessibility of particular business service industries (e.g., accounting). (2) At the institutional level, the project will upgrade the ability of at least one professional business association to serve clients' needs in such areas as continuing education, advocacy, professional standards, and self- regulation. (3) At the firm level, the project will provide grant and technical assistance to 500 Indonesian firms and realize 50 U.S.-Indonesian joint ventures. (Abstract based on PID)
