1. INTRODUCTION The SMK Ayam dan Sapi 2019 – 2021 (SAS21) project aims to readjust the vocational education on agrifood in Indonesia (TVET), by transforming the curricula to become more demand-driven, and further strengthening the position of diploma holders in the labour market. Currently, there is a mismatch between the graduates’ profiles and the desired profiles of prospective employees as formed by the industry. Low numbers of diploma holders are reaching the labour market in contrast with good opportunities of work in the sector. This is influenced by a lack of communication on curricula standards and learning outcomes between the TVET’s, private sector and the government. Furthermore, this trend is intensified by low student inflow numbers for the agricultural education programs. The long-term objective of the project is to aid in the transition process for agrifood TVET towards a demand-driven approach, building on the expertise and experience of the Dutch higher and vocational education. The project focuses on the Indonesian poultry and dairy subsectors because of the proceeding years of knowledge development and cooperation, as well as rapid growth in the industry. As the project aims to prepare the market-oriented curriculum to be certified and rolled-out, it depends on the close involvement of governments and certifying bodies, private sector. Hence, a triple helix platform is required to assure the sustainability of the results. During the third half year of the project, the project progress has been seriously affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. All activities experienced some form of delay or adjustment to an online modality, most notably the provision of training on curricula development. For this reason, the project partners have formally requested the Embassy to allow for a six months Budget Neutral Extension, until 31 December 2021. This extension was granted on the 10th of August 2020. Nevertheless, at the time of writing this report, it is unclear how the COVID-19 pandemic will evolve. A preliminary analysis indicates that prolongation of restrictive measures on society will harm the success of the project activities as originally planned. Hence, the previously approved Budget Neutral Extension will not guarantee timely finalization and quality of the project in its granted version. The risk lies in the development of bottlenecks created by the delay of face-to-face activities which cannot be adequately replaced by online activities. We therefore urge the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to seriously consider offering an additional extension. 3 of 13 pages Report 3 SAS21 – Ministry of Foreign Affairs project: 201800266.049
2. PROJECT PROGRESS AND ACHIEVEMENTS The second half year of 2020 the project revolved around the continuation of the training to the working groups of the SMK’s and polytechnics on curricula development in the dairy and poultry sector and the pilot studies. The following part details the different activities that have taken place and relates back to the revised COVID-19 workplan. A. Steering committee meeting On the 8th of July 2020, key stakeholders relevant for the Indonesian agricultural vocational education met online for a steering committee meeting. During this steering committee meeting representatives from Ministry of Education, Culture, and Higher Education (Kemendikbud DIKTI), Ministry of Agriculture (Kementrian Pertanian), PUSDIKTAN (Pusat Pendidikan Pertanian), Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KADIN), Indonesian Poultry Association, Perhimpunan Insan Perunggasan Rakyat (PINSAR Indonesia), Indonesian Association of Young Dairy Farmers (PERPAMI), PT Charoen Pokhpand Indonesia (Poultry), Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and Nuffic NESO Indonesia were invited to discuss the triple helix adivisory platform, the project’s progress and the implications of COVID-19 on the project. The Triple Helix advisory platform plays an important role in connecting agribusiness, SMK’s, polytechnics and certification authorities. The platform represents the crucial stakeholders from government, agribusiness and education. The authorities (ministries) and the qualification board (BNSP) in the platform are expected to facilitate the processes of change in curricula, certification and teacher training to become more labour market oriented, whilst the agribusiness actors are expected to express their needs for skilled manpower and engage with mechanisms that facilitate practice- oriented teaching and learning. B. The Launch of DUDI Certified Training Program Huub Mudde was invited as a guest speaker at The Launch of DUDI Certified Training Program on December 18, 2020 at the IPB International Conventon Center. This was a collaboration between PT Charoen Pokphand Indonesia, Tbk and the Vocational School of IPB University on a hybrid / blended online and offline basis. In order to present an industrial atmosphere at the SV-IPB Campus, welcome the Independent Learning Campus program and increase partnerships and alignment of the Industrial World Business, SV-IPB together with PT Charoen Pokphand Indonesia, Tbk offers a structured training program containing entrepreneurship learning 4 of 13 pages Report 3 SAS21 – Ministry of Foreign Affairs project: 201800266.049
modules, development idea of business opportunities in the poultry industry (Poultry), practice of managing business units (shops), integration and collaboration of various skill disciplines to support business units such as visual communication design, digital marketing, and new product development by calculating the SKS conversion. There were 16 MOAs signed by the IPB Vocational School with 16 related agencies, namely: PT TRI GARDANINDO INTI, Universitas Pertahanan, KORSABHARA BAHARKAM POLRI, PT Trans Surya Lestari Internasional, PT Garda Buana Jaya, PT Karsa Buana Lestari, Slamet Quail Farm, Waluya Wijaya Farm, Biomagg Sinergi Internasional, Koperasi wirasakti, Hidayat Farm, Baba Chicken, Fajar Farm, Fahmi Farm, Yeni Farm and AS Putra. C. Pilot projects During the second half year of 2020, the project partners continued to develop the triple helix pilot projects. The two selected pilot projects are meant to showcase how the different actors can work together for the benefit of the Indonesian economy. The section below elaborates on progress made in the pilot projects as conceptualized and agreed among MSM, Aeres and IPB. Each project will be managed by a multi- stakeholder taskforce. I. The eMoww application: strengthening the sustainability of dairy business in Indonesia The dairy pilot project designs to enhance knowledge and skills of farmers, SMKs/Polytechnics (teachers/lecturers/ students) and extensionist agents particularly in the dairy business sector and also support them with smart farming technology through a phone application. The pilot project aims to positively influence the dairy collection process by collecting all data centrally in a transparent manner. Farmers will be able to easily know the amount of production, quality and payment they will get. Moreover, the application is expected to make payments more effective and efficient, as well as indirectly increase the awareness of farmers about the importance of milk quality. An integral part of the application is the provision of learning material and technical knowledge about raising livestock. It allows for farmers to be directly connected with extension agents to discuss problems that occur on their farms. Besides that, farmers can also learn from interactive dairy farming management materials prepared by SMKs / polytechnics. The concept idea of this pilot project was presented for the first time during a steering committee meeting in July 2020. There are several inputs given by steering committee participants during the meeting, one of which is related to the payment process currently being carried out in the field and how it should develop. The concept development also considers based on the Indonesian dairy industry roadmap. 5 of 13 pages Report 3 SAS21 – Ministry of Foreign Affairs project: 201800266.049
Due to Covid-19 pandemic, several obstacles occurred. One of which is the time constraint to find a suitable schedule for conducting online meetings. It takes a lot of time to process the implementation as many people are involved in developing this application. Therefore, the formation of a task force is planned to ensure the project runs more effective and efficient. The upcoming task force meeting is organized in February 2021. II. The demo farm: a mini closed house system for broilers This pilot project originally planned to construct a demonstration farm (mini closed housed system for broilers) to control environmental conditions which may hamper the optimization of production, productivity and animal welfare. IPB will be co-funding 55 per cent of the pilot project, demonstrating the high importance that IPB attaches to the construction of this demonstration farm. However, during the discussions concerning the involvement of the triple helix partners in the project some conflicts of interest arose. Because of these conflicts, adequately integrating the private sector into the project within the specified time frame became unattainable. One of the identified bottlenecks was the transparency of the operations of the private sector partner towards other members identified as beneficiaries of the pilot project. It was therefore decided that IPB would continue with the renovation of the mini closed house system on their own as the project still holds merit for the institution and its students. The pilot project will be reformulated to become a training module for the management of close house systems for broilers. Therefore, it will build on the previously identified needs of the triple helix partners and becomes an integrated part of the training provided by the demo farm. The online close house management training mode will operate within the context of low performance of broiler farms (particularly small farms), lack of knowledge, experience and skills to manage and maintain closed house systems (among students, teachers, farmers). It aims to improve the performance of broiler farms; improve knowledge, experience, and skills of farmers, students, and teachers about the closed house management system; and to improve the link between industry, government, education institutions, and small farms. The role and link between industry, government, education institutions, and small farms is shown in Table below.

Mid-February a task force meeting will be held for the poultry pilot project to assure joint development and consensus among the triple helix partners. The task force members come from different institutions (SV IPB, SMK/Polytechnic, the industry, and the government through the Ministry of Agriculture). The meeting aims to develop the idea and technically prepare the closed house management system's online training. D. Online curriculum development training The ten SMK’s and polytechnics were interactively engaged in the online curriculum development training provided by Aeres, in November (18/19) and December (15/16/17) 2020. These workshops were a follow-up of the curriculum development training in a series of SAS21 project activities entitled "Towards gender-sensitive agribusiness driven poultry and dairy vocational education in Indonesia" that were held in the first half of 2020. They were supplemented by bilateral meetings between the experts and the previously established working groups for the poultry (Layers, Broiler Processing, Broiler Production) and dairy (Dairy Processing and Dairy Production) sector to provide guidance and advice to specific tasks and questions at hand. The workshops resulted in the achievement of the 8th stage in curriculum development, namely assessment and learning tasks. Image 1: online training held by Aeres During the training days, the experts reiterated the process of curriculum development to assure common understanding of the approach as well as its relation to 7 of 13 pages Report 3 SAS21 – Ministry of Foreign Affairs project: 201800266.049
assessments among the participants. This was followed by the development of a blended curriculum for poultry (incl. Hatchery and Layer production, Broiler production and Broiler processing) and dairy (incl. Dairy production and Dairy processing). This resulted in four curricula blueprints (two for SMK and two for Polytechnic). Finally, the groups worked on the assessments for each of the professional tasks included in the four curricula. This resulted in nine draft assessments (three for dairy and six for poultry). Image 2: outputs discussion during an online workshop session In future curriculum development workshops, groups will continue the development of assessments for each of the professional tasks included in the curriculum blueprints. They will start the development of learning tasks and match the developed building blocks (assessments and learning tasks) with the current curricula of SMK and Polytechnic. Lessons learned from the online training sessions Q3-Q4 2020 Overall, the training sessions were well received by the participants, as was their engagement. However, in addition to the lessons learned that were provided in the last report it needs to be noted that future training will try to provide a hybrid version of online/offline trainings. This entails that the Indonesian partners will come together in one facility, under supervision of adhering to the health regulations for COVID-19, and the Dutch partners will join online. This setting was selected to overcome difficulties experienced by an increasing number of participants which required intense 8 of 13 pages Report 3 SAS21 – Ministry of Foreign Affairs project: 201800266.049
coordination from IPB. By providing the training in the newly proposed hybrid mode, the team aims to increase participation, cooperation among groups, and focus on the training tasks. The level of interaction among the participants as well as consensus- building should be improved. E. Gender study of the dairy and poultry sector in Indonesia As part of output 1.2, a gender study was conducted on the dairy and poultry sector in Indonesia by a local expert. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the activity needed to be redesigned into a desk study as data collection in the field was suspended. The analysis is built on the foundation of previous research and case studies in the sector and region. Overall, the study reveals that research on gender in livestock sector in Indonesia, including in poultry and dairy sub-sector is lacking. The case studies that do exist indicated several examples of gender inequality. Firstly, women have a role in decision making. However, differences exist depending on the family, position of the women in the household and individual people involved. Secondly, the division of work or gender roles can be categorized into three groups, namely reproductive roles, productive roles, and social roles. When reviewing the work time spent in these three categories, it was revealed that many women have a high total work time spent on multiple roles, thus experiencing a double workload in comparison to men who mostly work in just productive roles. Thirdly, the role of women in farming is still highly influenced by the general construction of women’s roles held within Indonesian traditional societies. There is a slight shift in this perception by the self-empowerment of women through women groups that can encourage women's awareness in accessing economic resources and knowledge as well as helping them to gain more control over the process of production from the farm. Fourthly, even within farmer cooperatives gender problems still exist, as seen in e.g., membership opportunities and lack of diversity in cooperatives’ management. Finally, the gender analysis provides recommendations on how to increase the productivity and bargaining position of small-scale poultry and dairy farming, with an emphasis on the role of women. The results of the gender analysis will be incorporated in the development of the curricula for the poultry and dairy sector to become more inclusive, as well as in the triple helix activities and the development of sector roadmaps. 9 of 13 pages Report 3 SAS21 – Ministry of Foreign Affairs project: 201800266.049
3. PROJECT PLANNING The project activities, that have taken place during Q3 and Q4 2020, were targeted towards designing the triple helix pilot projects (output 1.3), as well as the development of poultry and dairy educational programs (outcome 2), and provision of a gender study. A complete overview of the revised COVID-19 workplan for the whole project duration can be found in annex 1. Table 1, depicted below, shows the activities planned in Q3-Q4 2020 for each sub-output, their level of realization and reason for deviation when applicable.

The delays in the completion of the planned activities for the second half of 2020 greatly stem from the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic. Difficulties for attaining the project outputs are harboured in activities that require intensive relationship building between stakeholders, discussion and reflection. Although the transformation of physical meetings into online meetings is possible for training, it does pose difficulties for achieving agreement and trust-building between stakeholders. It is for this reason that we occur a delay in activities such as ‘platform established’ (output 1.1) and ‘certification of the new education programs’ (output 2.5). Furthermore, any delay in current activities will have an influence on activities along the line. For this 11 of 13 pages Report 3 SAS21 – Ministry of Foreign Affairs project: 201800266.049
reason, an official request for a budget-neutral extension of six months has been filed with the Embassy in June which was approved in August 2020. Even though the requested extension will allow the consortium to more gradually disperse the resources to achieve sustainable results, the ongoing pandemic will remain a constraint in the foreseeable future. Further discussion on potential solutions to said constraint are desired by the project consortium, including the evaluation of an additional extension. The fourth semester (quarter 1 and 2 of 2021) will continue to concentrate on a) the triple helix roadmaps, b) the implementation of the selected pilot projects, c) finalizing multidisciplinary, gender-sensitive and application-based curricula, and d) improving the capacities of SMK teachers and leaders. Table 2. depicted below, shows the activities planned in quarter 1 and 2 of 2021 for each sub-output. We assume that these activities are implemented without any international travel, and restrictive domestic travel.

CONCLUSION The COVID-19 pandemic highly impacted the realisation of the project activities during the third semester of the project. Through the execution of the adapted project strategy to deal with the inability to travel both nationally and internationally, the consortium members transformed as many activities as possible in the confinement of remote and online cooperation. In this regard, it was able to achieve progress in the training on curricula development by engaging five working groups in the dairy and poultry sector. During the curricula development training (provided by Aeres) the teaching staff of the ten SMKs/Polytechnics developed four curricula blueprints and worked on the assessments for each of the professional tasks. Secondly, the consortium was able to elaborate on the designs of the pilot projects. For the dairy sector, an application will be developed. For the poultry sector an online training program is foreseen. 5.
