RINGKASAN EKSEKUTIF
Pada kuartal pertama TA 2022, JAPRI terus melakukan kegiatan untuk mendukung inisiatif Pemberdayaan
Ekonomi Perempuan (WEE) dan Penyandang Disabilitas (PWD). Pada kuartal ini, Yayasan Mien R. Uno
(MRUF) dan Himpunan Perempuan Penyandang Disabilitas Indonesia (HWDI), pimpinan JAPRI dalam
memberikan kegiatan pengembangan kewirausahaan bagi perempuan dan penyandang disabilitas, telah
sepenuhnya menyelesaikan target dan kegiatannya, dan kini dalam proses untuk penyusunan laporan akhir
mereka.
Pembatasan COVID-19 Pemerintah Indonesia terhadap kegiatan yang melibatkan orang berkumpul
mengalami pelonggaran pada periode ini karena membaiknya jumlah kasus infeksi COVID-19 di Indonesia,
sehingga IIE dan mitra pelaksananya dapat melakukan kegiatan-kegiatan JAPRI secara langsung dengan tetap
mengikuti protokol kesehatan yang ketat.
Adapun kegiatan yang dilakukan oleh Program JAPRI yang didanai USAID pada bulan Oktober-Desember
2021 adalah sebagai berikut:
JAPRI PWD:
• Bisnis Baru dan Peningkatan Pendapatan: 64 orang yang pernah mengikuti kegiatan JAPRI
dilaporkan telah memulai usaha baru dan 100 orang menunjukkan peningkatan pendapatan.
• Pelatihan Kewirausahaan (Entrepreneurship Training/ET): JAPRI telah menjangkau total
177 peserta dalam kegiatan ET yang berfokus pada penyandang disabilitas. Melalui ET, peserta
belajar pengetahuan dan keterampilan kewirausahaan seperti produksi, pemasaran, perencanaan
keuangan, dan pengembangan kanvas model bisnis. Hal ini akan membantu peserta penyandang
disabilitas JAPRI untuk membuat konsep bisnis mereka secara efektif dan memberikan mereka
pengetahuan tentang cara mengelola dan memasarkan bisnis mereka untuk meningkatkan skala.
• Business Coaching: JAPRI PWD telah melakukan pembinaan bisnis kepada 182 peserta
penyandang disabilitas di wilayah kerjanya. JAPRI menggunakan metode campuran tatap muka dan
online (termasuk panggilan telepon) untuk melakukan sesi pembinaan guna meminimalkan kontak
langsung.
• Mentoring Bisnis: Untuk kegiatannya yang berfokus pada penyandang disabilitas, JAPRI
melaksanakan kegiatan mentoring bisnis, yang bertujuan untuk meningkatkan kemampuan peserta
dalam mengembangkan bisnis dengan menggunakan business model canvas serta memberikan
kesempatan untuk belajar dari penyandang disabilitas lainnya dengan bisnis yang sudah mapan. Pada
kuartal ini, 515 peserta penyandang disabilitas berpartisipasi dalam kegiatan mentoring bisnis.
• Pendanaan Awal (Seed Funding): 250 peserta penyandang disabilitas dari lima wilayah kerja
JAPRI penyandang disabilitas; Surabaya-Sidoarjo, Kediri, Malang, Blitar, and Trenggalek, terpilih
sebagai penerima dana awal JAPRI yang memenuhi syarat. Setiap wilayah memiliki 50 pemenang
yang dipilih melalui proses penilaian dan penilaian menggunakan proposal bisnis oleh panitia seleksi
dari JAPRI dan para pemangku kepentingannya. Total jumlah dana awal yang disalurkan JAPRI
kepada 250 penerima adalah USD 50,000. Pendanaan awal disediakan oleh JAPRI untuk membantu
peserta untuk memulai atau mengembangkan bisnisnya dan mewujudkan rencana mereka.
Pendanaan awal diberikan dalam bentuk hibah dan tidak perlu untuk dibayarkan kembali ke JAPRI.
• Hari Penyandang Disabilitas Internasional / Acara Kembang Api Kecil JAPRI: Dalam
upaya memberikan apresiasi dan mendukung visi inklusivitas, JAPRI bekerjasama dengan
pemerintah daerah dari wilayah kerjanya di Blitar dan Kediri, Dinas Sosial di Trenggalek dan
Malang, dan Badan Koordinasi Kegiatan Kesejahteraan Sosial Jawa Timur di Surabaya untuk
melaksanakan kegiatan pada Hari Disabilitas Internasional. Secara total, 277 peserta penyandang
disabilitas dari JAPRI berpartisipasi dalam acara ini.
3
JAPRI WEE:
• Bisnis Baru dan Peningkatan Pendapatan: 1.059 individu yang telah berpartisipasi dalam
kegiatan JAPRI melaporkan peningkatan pendapatan atau memulai bisnis baru. 250 memulai bisnis
baru dan 809 menunjukkan peningkatan pendapatan.
• Pelatihan Kewirausahaan (ET): JAPRI melakukan ET di Trenggalek, Blitar, dan Lamongan,
menjangkau 291 perempuan pengusaha. ET dirancang untuk membekali para peserta dengan
pengetahuan dasar dasar untuk memulai atau mengembangkan bisnis mereka, dan pada akhir
pelatihan, JAPRI berharap para peserta dapat membuat rencana bisnis yang ideal dengan
menggunakan kanvas model bisnis sebagai alat visual.
• Pelatihan Bisnis Satu Hari (One-Day Busines Training/ODBT): Pada kuartal ini, JAPRI
melakukan ODBT di Sampang dan Kediri, dan menjangkau 803 pengusaha perempuan. ODBT,
seperti halnya ET, merupakan kegiatan pelatihan di mana para peserta dibekali pengetahuan dasar
untuk memulai atau mengembangkan usaha mereka, dan pada akhir pelatihan, JAPRI berharap para
peserta mampu membuat rencana usaha yang ideal dengan menggunakan usaha tersebut.
• Coaching dan Mentoring Bisnis Online: Pendampingan bisnis JAPRI WEE sepenuhnya
dilakukan melalui mekanisme online di empat wilayah: Bangkalan, Blitar, Kediri, dan Trenggalek.
Sebanyak 1.272 peserta terjaring dalam kegiatan pendampingan bisnis JAPRI. Untuk kegiatan
pembinaan bisnis, JAPRI mencapai 905 peserta pada kuartal ini.
• Legalisasi Usaha: Sejak Oktober hingga Desember 2021, JAPRI membantu 1.305 peserta dari
Bangkalan (Madura), Blitar, Trenggalek, Kediri, dan Sampang (Madura) dalam pengadaan izin usaha
melalui pembinaan dan pendampingan JAPRI untuk legalisasi usaha. Selain pengajuan nomor induk
usaha dan izin usaha mikro dan kecil melalui Pelayanan Terpadu Satu Pintu, JAPRI juga mendorong
pelatih setempat untuk menghubungi kantor desa mereka untuk menerbitkan sertifikat usaha bagi
peserta JAPRI secara kolektif. Dengan mendaftarkan bisnis mereka, peserta akan lebih mampu
memperluas pasar mereka dan mengakses dukungan dari Pemerintah Indonesia dan sektor swasta.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In the first quarter of FY2022, JAPRI conducted its remaining large-scale activities to support the program’s
Women's Economic Empowerment (WEE) and Persons with Disabilities (PWD) initiatives. Mien R. Uno
Foundation (MRUF) and Himpunan Wanita Disabilitas Indonesia (HWDI), JAPRI’s entrepreneurship
development activity leads for women and people with disabilities, fully completed their targets and
activities. This was supported by the government’s relaxation of COVID-19 regulations on large-scale
gatherings due to the reduction in COVID-19 infections in Indonesia, which enabled IIE and its
implementing partners to conduct in-person activities while still following strict health protocols. As a
result, JAPRI achieved all FY22 and remaining Life of Project (LOP) key performance indicators this
quarter.
The activities carried out by the USAID-funded JAPRI Program in October-December 2021 were as
follows:
JAPRI PWD:
● New Businesses and Increased Income: 64 individuals who previously participated in JAPRI
activities reported to have started new businesses, and 100 showed increased income.
● Entrepreneurship Trainings (ET): JAPRI reached 177 participants in the PWD-focused ET
activities. Through the ETs, participants learn entrepreneurial knowledge and skills such as
production, marketing, financial planning, and business model canvas development. This will help
JAPRI’s PWD participants to conceptualize their businesses effecitvely and provide them with the
knowledge to manage, market, and expand their businesses.
● Business Coaching: JAPRI PWD conducted business coaching for 182 PWD participants in its
work areas. JAPRI used a mix of in-person and online methods (including telephone calls) to
conduct the coaching sessions to minimize direct contact due to COVID.
● Business Mentoring: For its PWD-focused activities, JAPRI undertook business mentoring,
which is an activity that aims to increase participants’ ability to develop business by using a business
model canvas as well as providing the opportunity to learn from other PWDs with established
businesses. This quarter, 515 PWD beneficiaries participated in the workshops.
● Seed Funding: 250 PWD participants from five of JAPRI PWD’s work areas (Surabaya-Sidoarjo,
Kediri, Malang, Blitar, and Trenggalek) were selected as eligible recipients of JAPRI’s seed funding.
Each area had 50 winners that were selected through an assessment and scoring process using
business proposals, managed by a selection committee from JAPRI and its stakeholders. The total
seed funding disbursed by JAPRI to the 250 recipients was USD 50,000. The seed funding is
provided by JAPRI to help jumpstart the participants’ business and put their plans into action. The
seed funding is in the form of a grant and no money will be needed to be paid back to JAPRI.
● International Day for People with Disabilities / JAPRI Small Firework events: In an
effort to provide appreciation and support its vision for inclusivity, JAPRI collaborated with local
governments from its work areas in Blitar and Kediri, the Social Affairs Offices in Trenggalek and
Malang, and the East Java Coordinating Agency for Social Welfare Activities in Surabaya to
implement events on the International Day of People with Disabilities. In total, 277 PWD
participants from JAPRI participated at these events.
5
JAPRI WEE:
• New Business and Increased Income: 1,059 individuals who previously participated in JAPRI
activities reported an increase in income or started new businesses. 250 started new businesses
and 809 showed increased income.
• Entrepreneurship Training: JAPRI conducted ETs in Trenggalek, Blitar, and Lamongan,
reaching 291 women entrepreneurs. The ETs are designed to provide the participants with the
basic foundational knowledge to either start or develop their businesses. By the end of the training,
participants are prepared to create ideal business plans using the business model canvas as a visual
tool.
• One-Day Business Training: JAPRI conducted ODBTs in Sampang and Kediri, reaching 803
women entrepreneurs. The ODBT, like the ET, is a training activity where the participants are
provided with the basic foundational knowledge to either start or develop their businesses, and
by the end of the training, participants are prepared to create ideal business plans using the
business model canvas as a visual tool.
• Online Business Mentoring and Coaching: JAPRI WEE business mentoring was delivered
using online mechanisms in four areas: Bangkalan, Blitar, Kediri, and Trenggalek. The business
mentoring activity reached 1,272 participants. For its business coaching activities, JAPRI reached
905 participants.
• Business Legalization: From October to December 2021, JAPRI assisted 1,305 participants
from Bangkalan (Madura), Blitar, Trenggalek, Kediri, and Sampang (Madura) in procuring business
licenses through JAPRI’s coaching and mentoring for business legalization support. Besides applying
for business registration numbers and micro and small business permits through the One Stop
Service, JAPRI also encouraged local trainers to contact their village offices to issue business
certificates for JAPRI participants collectively. By registering their businesses, participants are
more likely to be able to expand their markets and access support from GOI and the private
sector.

1. JAPRI Overview
1.1 Program Summary
As Indonesia’s economy continues to grow, economic inequality is also increasing. People living near or
below the poverty line are at risk of being left behind. Entrepreneurship provides an important avenue for
poor and vulnerable (P&V) individuals to improve their livelihoods, create economic opportunity for
themselves and others in their communities, and contribute to Indonesia’s economic development. JAPRI
leverages and tailors existing entrepreneurship resources to develop, test, and scale an approach to
promoting entrepreneurship among P&V individuals. Under JAPRI’s Full Implementation activities, which
concluded in March 2021, activities were implemented by a consortium led by IIE in collaboration with
implementing partners Prestasi Junior International (PJI) and Mien R. Uno Foundation (MRUF). The
consortium offered entrepreneurship expertise; a proven ability to work directly with P&V youth in
Indonesia; and networks of local governments, universities, and successful youth entrepreneurs. JAPRI
also collaborated with local governments and universities to identify potential P&V youth and leverage the
knowledge of youth representatives to ensure a youth-friendly entrepreneurship module. Lastly, to
increase the effectiveness and sustainability of promoting entrepreneurship among youth, JAPRI also
engaged with the private sector, such as agri-businesses and financial institutions that will potentially
support the participants’ needs for capital.
In 2019, the Women’s Global Development and Prosperity initiative (now referred to as Women’s
Economic Empowerment/WEE) awarded additional funding to JAPRI to support activities focusing on
women in East Java (Objective 3). Building on its previous work in Blitar District and the program’s close
relations with the local government, JAPRI expanded its work by focusing on increasing the number of
women-owned businesses, creating an empowering environment in their households, and including men
in the sharing of domestic responsibilities. For JAPRI WEE activities, JAPRI leverages the technical
expertise of Kelompok Perempuan dan Sumber-Sumber Kehidupan (Women's Groups and Sources of
Life) and MRUF.
In 2020, JAPRI began to implement employment and economic empowerment (EEE) activities for persons
with disabilities (PWDs) in East Java. For the JAPRI PWD program, JAPRI is leveraging the technical
expertise of Himpunan Wanita Disabilitas Indonesia (HWDI – Indonesian Community of Women with
Disabilities), a local disabled persons’ organization whose members are women who have speech
disorders, vision impairments and/or hearing impairments. This program builds on JAPRI’s experience and
relationships developed while working in Trenggalek and Blitar during Full Implementation and WEE
activities. EEE activities also support Objective 1 and 2 of JAPRI’s Results Framework.
JAPRI’s objectives are as follows:
Objective 1: JAPRI will empower P&V individuals to start and/or grow businesses by increasing
entrepreneurship knowledge and skills and access to coaching and mentoring.
Objective 2: JAPRI will strengthen the capacity of local stakeholders to provide P&V
entrepreneurs with ongoing support by increasing the commitment and readiness of stakeholders
to adopt the JAPRI model.
Objective 3: JAPRI will empower women to access economic opportunities by increasing basic
entrepreneurship skills and strengthening the support system for women in business.

1.2 Overview of Quarterly Results
In the first quarter of FY22, JAPRI monitored the progress of 9 indicators for JAPRI PWD and 10 indicators
for JAPRI WEE. Both JAPRI PWD and WEE achieved all FY22 and LOP targets in Q1, as highlighted below.
JAPRI was able to significantly increase its achievements against its KPIs due to the GOI’s relaxation of
restrictions on social activities. This enabled JAPRI to conduct more of its activities in person, particularly
coaching and mentoring, which then allowed the program to reach a larger number of participants and
achieve tremendous progress against its key indicators. Please see the MEL section of this report for more
detailed information on all indicators, and Annex I for quarterly and cumulative achievements against FY22
targets.

2. Program Administration
2.1 COVID-19 Pandemic
At the start of the first quarter in FY22, most of East Java remained under government restrictions that did
now allow for in-person activities. However, as the COVID-19 situation began to improve in October 2021,
restrictions loosened. For JAPRI, this translated into initial, limited in-person activities and program
monitoring, followed by an expansion of in-person activities as the quarter progressed. All activities and travel
that did occur in person continued to follow strict health protocols, including COVID testing, to reduce the
potential risk to staff, facilitators, and participants.
2.2 Ongoing Capacity Building Assistance to HWDI
IIE continued to provide assistance and capacity building for its JAPRI PWD implementing partner, HWDI.
Building on the assistance that IIE has been providing HWDI since the beginning of its subagreement in
September 2020, IIE focused on the following components of HWDI’s management of JAPRI PWD activities
in FY22 Q1:
• Strategic planning of key activities for JAPRI PWD. IIE conducted routine coordination meetings and
ad hoc calls with HWDI’s program management team to provide guidance and input to ensure
planned activities are implemented effectively.
• Assisting in financial management through regular finance meetings, reviewing of documents, and ad-
hoc check-in calls, to ensure that HWDI reports and documents finances in a more organized manner
with minimum errors.
• Supporting and collaborating with HWDI in its strategic communications engagement with relevant
stakeholders in the implementation of program activities, particularly local governments.
2.3 JAPRI Closeout Plan
In accordance with section A.10.f. “Closeout Plan” of the award schedule in AID-497-A-17-00005, IIE
submitted a closeout plan to the Agreement Officer (AO) on October 12, 2021, six months ahead of
program’s April 12, 2022, end date. The closeout plan, which was approved by USAID on October 19, 2021,
included the following components:
• JAPRI Closeout Plan Narrative (including a Deliverables Schedule)
• JAPRI Closeout Timetable
• JAPRI Draft Disposition of Assets Plan (no non-expendable property with a unit value about $5,000
USD)
Following USAID’s approval of the draft disposition plan, IIE contacted the Ministry of Education, Culture,
Research and Technology (MoECRT) on the proposed disposition of its assets in close coordination with the
JAPRI Agreement Officer Representative (AOR). Following those discussions, IIE is planning to propose the
following to MoECRT in January 2022:
• For NXP that is located in East Java, transfer those assets to Prestasi Junior Indonesia, Mien R. Uno
Foundation and Himpunan Wanita Disabilitas Indonesia.
• Transfer all other functional program non-expendable property to MoERCT by March 2022.
92.4 JAPRI Closeout Event
As the USAID JAPRI project nears the completion of its five-year project life cycle, JAPRI has achieved a
number of accomplishments in its efforts to promote the self-employment of P&V youth, women, and persons
with disabilities in Indonesia. To celebrate the program’s achievements and promote the sustainability of the
JAPRI model among the program’s stakeholders, JAPRI will hold a hybrid event to be attended by its partners,
stakeholder representatives, and its participants. JAPRI will engage the representatives in a talk show setting
to provide an overview of its approach, highlight strategies, and discuss the improvements it made during the
course of its life cycle. The goals of the event will be to:
• Share JAPRI’s model to the audience
• Acknowledge and to give appreciation to JAPRI’s stakeholders
• Share JAPRI’s success in its implementation
• Symbolically hand over JAPRI’s model and intervention design to the stakeholders for continuation
This quarter, IIE submitted a Terms of Reference to the JAPRI AOR and worked closely with the AOR to
refine the event into a single national-level event to be held in East Java on February 9, 2022. Within this
period, IIE conducted the following activities:
• Developed JAPRI’s exposure story for USAID’s exposure page and developed a short video that will
be presented at the closeout event. IIE created the story lines and concepts for the aforementioned
items, in coordination with USAID’s DOC team. Production will begin in January 2022.
• Scoped potential venues for the closeout event in Surabaya. In addition to being able to accommodate
the number of invited guests, the venue must also have COVID health protocols in place and be able
to accommodate persons with disabilities.
• Drafted and submitted closeout event scene setters for USAID’s Mission Director, including details
of the activity and talking points.
• Procured closeout event organizer and media relations consultant. IIE selected a vendor who will
help in the preparation and implementation of JAPRI’s hybrid closeout event, and a media organizer
who will help disseminate information about the event and the program in the media and invite the
media to attend the event.
2.5 Digital Literacy Activity
JAPRI has continued its collaboration with DAI’s Digital Asia Accelerator to improve the digital literacy skills
of entrepreneurs, including JAPRI’s target beneficiaries (women and persons with disabilities). This quarter,
IIE focused its coordination with DAI and PJI on the program’s closeout event. The Digital Asia Accelerator’s
consultant in Indonesia, PJI, will provide a 90-minute simulation of their digital training session in JAPRI’s
closeout event. In the simulation, PJI will showcase the approach that they will use in their training activities
to participants that will attend the event in-person and virtually through Zoom.
2.6 JAPRI e-Learning Video
In coordination with USAID, JAPRI has proposed to include its learning materials in MOECRT’s e-learning
platform, SPADA. Following a meeting with Ministry officials on December 17, 2021, all parties decided to
proceed with the development of e-learning materials for SPADA. In January 2022, JAPRI will begin filming
the material for the videos utilizing JAPRI Full Implementation lecturers. Once the video is finalized, it will be
showcased at the program’s closeout event in February 2022 and shared with MOECRT.
102.7 JAPRI Obligation Increase
In December 2021, IIE learned from the JAPRI AOR that the program would be granted the remaining
$100,000 USD in its agreement with USAID in January 2022. The funds are intended to support the additional
costs associated with the aforementioned closeout event in February 2022.
113. Program Activities - Key Highlights during the Reporting Period for
JAPRI PWD
In Q1 FY 2022, JAPRI continued to implement its PWD component across five cities and districts of East
Java: Malang, Blitar, Trenggalek, Kediri, and Surabaya-Sidoarjo. The decrease of the COVID-19 case numbers
and the relaxation of the GOI’s restrictions on community activities provided JAPRI the opportunity to
accelerate its activity implementation using in-person delivery methods. This was a critical development, as
JAPRI found that in-person methods proved most effective when it comes to engaging with PWD
beneficiariess. Due to this positive deveopment, JAPRI PWD was able to successfully implement its
suplemental business development activities such as business mentoring.
Additionally, a highlight of this quarter was JAPRI’s event series around the International Day for People with
Disabilities (December 3, 2021). To give appreciation to its participants and the PWD community in general,
JAPRI collaborated with local governments to hold events marking the day. In doing so, JAPRI hopes that
local governments and other stakeholders will continue to adopt JAPRI’s vision of inclusivity and methods in
promoting entrepreneurship in their own programming. Further information on this activity can be found in
Section 5 of this report.
Below is a summary of the activities conducted in FY22 Q1 for JAPRI PWD:
● New Businesses and Increased Income: 64 individuals who previously participated in JAPRI
activities reported to have started new businesses, and 100 showed increased income.
● Entrepreneurship Trainings (ET): JAPRI reached 177 participants in the PWD-focused ET
activities. Through the ETs, participants learn entrepreneurial knowledge and skills such as
production, marketing, financial planning, and business model canvas development. This will help
JAPRI’s PWD participants to conceptualize their businesses effecitvely and provide them with the
knowledge on how to manage and market their businesses to increase the scale.
● Business Coaching: JAPRI PWD conducted business coaching for 182 PWD participants in its
work areas. JAPRI used a mix of in-person and online methods (including telephone calls) to conduct
the coaching sessions to minimize direct contact.
● Business Mentoring: For its PWD-focused activities, JAPRI undertook business mentoring, which
is an activity that aims to increase participants’ ability to develop business by using a business model
canvas as well as providing the opportunity to learn from other PWDs with established businesses.
This quarter, 515 PWD beneficiaries participated in the workshops.
● Seed Funding: 250 PWD participants from five of JAPRI PWD’s work areas were selected as eligible
recipients of JAPRI’s seed funding. Each area had 50 winners that were selected through an
assessment and scoring process using business proposals, managed by a selection committee from
JAPRI and its stakeholders. The total seed funding disbursed by JAPRI to the 250 recipients was USD
50,000.
3.1 Entrepreneurship Training
JAPRI continued to implement entrepreneurship trainings for people with disabilities in Surabaya-Sidoarjo,
Malang, Kediri, Trenggalek, and Blitar. In total, this quarter’s trainings reached 177 PWD participants. The
areas in which JAPRI worked experienced significant improvements in COVID-19 infection rates, resulting in
the loosening of restrictions on community activities. Consequently, JAPRI was able to fully implement ETs
for PWDs in person, while still following the GOI’s health protocols. The protocols required that participants
received swab antigen tests before entering the classroom, and were provided with masks hand sanitizer.
12The trainers also adjusted the training materials so that classes were able to finish more quickly while still
remaining effective, cutting the class from around eight hours to between four and six hours.
Figure 1: Ms. Monika and Ms. Fatwiyah, JAPRI’s Entrepreneurship Trainers in Blitar, delivered JAPRI
trainings to PWD participants.
To recruit participants, JAPRI continued to work with several stakeholders to ensure that participants
represented a wide array of PWD communities, leading to a broader benefit for the community. JAPRI’s field
officers worked with disabled people’s organizations, local governments, the disabled community, and
individual PWDs not affilitiated with any organization, to spread the invitation and inform them of the
opportunity to take part in JAPRI’s activities.
This quarter also marked the end of JAPRI PWD’s series of entrepreneurship trainings in East Java, as the
program achieved its targets in October 2021.
“I previously learned business [skills] from my parents in their fruit shop, which
I tried to apply to my online hijab retail business. At first I found it difficult to
sell hijabs in Trenggalek, because there aren’t many hijab suppliers with good
quality products. However, after I joined JAPRI’s entrepreneurship training, I
learned that I can expand my reach to suppliers outside of Trenggalek and
expand my business to being a dropshipper and a reseller of better quality
products.”
- Ms. Lalita, Physically Disabled Participant, Online Shop Owner and Drop Shipper
3.2 Coaching
JAPRI PWD held its final business coaching activities in October 2021. These sessions were the continuation
of the ETs that had been completed in the previous months. Like the ETs, JAPRI was able to conduct business
coaching in-person this quarter, enabling 148 PWD participants to receive at least a minimum of four coaching
13sessions with JAPRI’s business coaches. All coaching participants are entitled to receive one pre-coaching
session, where they learn about the coaching steps, and three coaching sessions from JAPRI’s business
coaches. Coaching is a one-on-one activity in which JAPRI’s business coaches provide targeted assistance
directly to participants to enable them to resolve the unique challenges each face in starting businesses,
strengthening their entrepreneurial mindset, and identifying business opportunities. They support participants
by suggesting pathways to solutions or practical methods that participants can use to solve their business
problems.
The challenge JAPRI faced during implementing business coaching activities this period was insufficient time,
as JAPRI PWD is approaching the end of the project (February 2022), alongside commitments to hold several
activities scheduled as part of International Day of People with Disabilities in December. This meant that all
JAPRI PWD key activities had to be completed by October or November 2021. JAPRI’s field officers and
team thus put in intensive efforts to ensure that all coaching activities were completed on time, including the
timely submission of progress reports.

“I was happy to be able to participate in JAPRI’s entrepreneurship training for
PWDs. I didn’t realize that joining the business coaching session would help me
even more. I love how my coach was really generous in sharing their
knowledge with me, and enabled me to work on the challenges I’m facing in my
business. JAPRI even provided a sign language interpreter so I can understand
the sessions more clearly.”

143.3 Business Mentoring
In the first quarter of FY22, JAPRI collaborated with
Universitas Ciputra and delivered five business mentoring
activities to a total of 515 PWD participants in Surabaya-
Sidoarjo, Kediri, Trenggalek, Malang, and Blitar. As a
continuation of the entrepreneurship training, JAPRI’s
business mentoring for PWD participants is designed to
further strengthen the participants’ understanding of the
business model canvas as a basic tool they can use to
create business plans, as well as to increase their
knowledge and understanding of sectors such as services,
retail, fashion, handycraft, culinary, and agri-business.
During activities, business mentoring participants are Figure 4: Participants from Fashion and Handy Craft

sessions from JAPRI’s mentors in the classroom, but were
also able to connect online through Zoom meetings,
listening to guest speakers from established businesses in
relevant sectors. To familiarize the participants with the
basics of business development, JAPRI and Universitas
Ciputra also delivered sessions on how to utilize e-
commerce platforms and social media to present and
promote the participants’ businesses to potential
consumers. Representatives from the local Business
Services Unit were also invited to deliver sessions on the
importance of having a registered business, providing
guidance on how the participants can register their
businesses using the Online Single Submission (OSS). Figure 3: A representative from Surabaya’s Business
Services Unit delivered a session on the procedure to
Mentoring activities were held over two days. BMC submit for a business registration number during JAPRI’s
mentoring materials were the focus of the first day and Mentoring activity in Surabaya
business sector practical sessions on the second. The
session on business registration was held on different days in different locations, depending on the availability
of the Business Services Unit representatives. The number of participants who attended JAPRI’s business
mentoring was in line with the target and all sessions were delivered without challenges.
“I was able to learn more about how business works using the business model
canvas. Having it directly correlated to the business sector in which I am
practicing is also really helpful, because I can see first hand how to apply the
steps in the BMC. Universitas Ciputra and the guest speaker really opened my
perspective on business, and I hope in the future there will be more business
workshops like JAPRI’s for PWDs.”

helped accommodate PWDs’ needs as well as other challenges such as lack of access to internet or
technology.

164. Program Activities - Key Highlights during the Reporting Period for
JAPRI WEE
With the improvement of the COVID-19 situation and relaxation of government restrictions in Indonesia
this quarter, JAPRI WEE was able to continue its activities at full speed, implementing significantly more in-
person activities during Q1 FY22. Nevertheless, the use of online platforms remained a priority in JAPRI
WEE’s key activities whenever possible, delivered through platforms such as Zoom and Google Classroom.
JAPRI WEE Q1 FY22 Highlights:
• New Business and Increased Income: 1,059 individuals who previously participated in JAPRI
activities reported an increase in income or started new businesses. 250 started new businesses and
809 showed increased income.
• Entrepreneurship Training: JAPRI conducted ETs in Trenggalek, Blitar, and Lamongan, reaching
291 women entrepreneurs. The ETs are designed to provide the participants with the basic
foundational knowledge to either start or develop their businesses. By the end of the training,
participants are prepared to create ideal business plans using the business model canvas as a visual
tool.
• One-Day Business Training: JAPRI conducted ODBTs in Sampang and Kediri, reaching 803
women entrepreneurs. The ODBT, like the ET, is a training activity where the participants are
provided with the basic foundational knowledge to either start or develop their businesses, and by
the end of the training, participants are prepared to create ideal business plans using the business
model canvas as a visual tool.
• Online Business Mentoring and Coaching: JAPRI WEE business mentoring was delivered using
fully online mechanisms in four areas: Bangkalan, Blitar, Kediri, and Trenggalek. This business
mentoring activity reached 1,272 participants. For its business coaching activities, JAPRI reached 905
participants.
• Business Legalization: From October to December 2021, JAPRI assisted 1,305 participants from
Bangkalan (Madura), Blitar, Trenggalek, Kediri, and Sampang (Madura) in procuring business licenses
through JAPRI’s coaching and mentoring for business legalization support. Besides applying for
business registration numbers and micro and small business permits through the One Stop Service,
JAPRI also encouraged local trainers to contact their village offices to issue business certificates for
JAPRI participants collectively. By registering their businesses, participants are more likely to be able
to expand their markets and access support from GOI and the private sector.
4.1 Business Coaching
JAPRI’s business coaching is designed to provide individual suport and assistance to participants who are
either currently running or are planning to start a business. This quarter, JAPRI concluded its business
coaching activities for youth, women entrepreneurs, with 14 JAPRI business coaches successfully conducting
a mix of online and offline coaching sessions, reaching a total of 905 women entrepreneurs across Trenggalek,
Blitar, Bangkalan, and Lamongan. In one coaching period, each of JAPRI’s business coaches is responsible for
delivering coaching sessions to 40 participants; a completed coaching session consists of three coaching
sessions provided to JAPRI participants, meaning that in total, 2,715 coaching sessions delivered in the four
districts this quarter. In-person coaching sessions became possible due to relaxations in GOI restrictions on
community activities as a result of falling COVID-19 case numbers.
17Figure 6: Ms. Beti Wirandini (right) assisting one of her coachees during a business coaching session
To respond to the oft-changing COVID-19 regulations, coaches incorporated strategies that were flexible
and adjustable. They utilized online sessions using WhatsApp (WA) video calls and voice calls whenever
internet or technological constraints were present; conducted one-on-one offline coaching sessions that still
follow a strict health protocol; and also conducted group coachings where coaches and coachees agreed
upon a set time and place to conduct business coaching and come in turns to receive them from the business
coaches.

A noticeable challenge that JAPRI faced this quarter was data collection. When filling out attendance sheets
or registering their name in an online session, a large number of JAPRI’s participants use their nicknames,
making it difficult for JAPRI to trace participants’ activities. While JAPRI was eventually able to match the
attendees’ names and ensure they were properly counted, it required significant time and effort. JAPRI faced
another challenge in that some participants did not fully understand that coaching activities were a follow-up
to JAPRI’s trainings, meaning that coaches had to repeatedly follow up in order to get them to participate. In
addition, JAPRI still faced challenges in setting coaching schedules with participants due to participants’ other
time commintments. With all of these challenges, JAPRI’s coaches were encouraged to communicate with
18the participants directly either by phone or by visiting their house. As a result, a large number of the
participants responded positively and agreed to participate in the coaching sessions.
“I enjoyed my coaching sessions very much; my business coach did not provide
me with solutions but instead guided me to come up with solutions of my own.
This made me more confident to think that I will be able to resolve any
business issues that I will face.”
- Diyan P, JAPRI Participant
4.2 Entrepreneurship Training
During the implementation of JAPRI WEE activities this quarter, 291 women entrepreneurs aged 18-19 in
Trenggalek, Blitar, and Lamongan participated in entrepreneurship trainings. To cope with the dynamics in
the changing COVID-19 restrictions, JAPRI delivered ETs using both in-person and online methods, in which
the trainers and participants can freely decide upon in accordance to the current conditions each may be
facing. By the end of the ETs, participants are expected to be able to develop business plans using the business
model canvas as a guideline.
Figure 9: Women entrepreneurs attended JAPRI’s ET in Sumberasri village, Blitar. The training was conducted by
trainers from Pertakina
Entrepreneurship Training – Lamongan
In addition to Blitar and Trenggalek, JAPRI was also able to conduct a training and collect data from one ET
in Lamongan. Initially, Lamongan was not a target area for JAPRI. However, one of JAPRI’s ToT participants,
19a representative from HIPSI named Aulia, lives in
Lamongan and wanted to be more involved in JAPRI.
Aulia became committed to delivering ETs in Lamongan
and ended up delivering entrepreneurship training to 44
women in Lamongan.
In terms of implementation, JAPRI did not encounter any
new challenges in delivering ETs this quarter. However,
there was a delay of data collection with the trainers.
While all of the trainers showed great commitment in
providing training, many did not finish or were very slow
in providing progress reports to JAPRI about the
assistance they had provided to participants. As the
trainers were involved in JAPRI on a voluntary basis, Figure 10: An entrepreneurship training activity in
JAPRI could not force them to focus solely on their JAPRI Lamongan.
responsibilities. After discussing the timeline with the
trainers. JAPRI agreed to wrap up all data collection by December 2021 and will no longer receive reports
from the field in January 2022 as WEE activities must close by the end of the month.
“I am currently just starting my business, so participating in JAPRI’s
entrepreneurship training provided me with the knowledge and experience [I
need] on how I should manage my business. My personal hope is that with this,
I can continue to be motivated to have a successful business!”
- Devi A., JAPRI WEE participant.

featuring guest speakers. Due to the large number of participants, ODBT participants were divided into
smaller groups and one trainer assistant/facilitator was assigned to each group in order to enhance their
understanding. At the end of the ODBT, participants were expected to be able to create their own business
plan using the business model canvas as a guide.
20“I am happy to have the chance to participate in JAPRI’s one day business
training. I gained new business knowledge and even have new ideas in creating
new product variants for my business.”

such as business motivation during the pandemic, digital marketing, and types of business. The participants
were given the freedom to choose the topics that they were interested in, and, afterwards, they were
directed to fill an online survey form to track their business progress. In Q1 FY22, JAPRI implemented online
mentoring sessions for ET participants in Trenggalek and Blitar as well as ODBT participants in Kediri and
Sampang, reaching a total of 1,272 business mentoring participants from these four areas this quarter.
Discussion sessions were held on WA but could be participated in at any point in time after the participants
had watched the videos.
21“I was very excited to join in JAPRI’s
business mentoring session. I was able
to get a lot of information from
watching the mentoring video and
having a discussion with fellow women
entrepreneurs from different types of
businesses. I hope that in the future I
can use that knowledge so that my
products will become more widely
known to everybody.”

Business Legalization Mentoring
Separate from its general business mentoring sessions, JAPRI also provided mentoring sessions for
participants on how to obtain business licenses for their businesses. JAPRI collaborated with its trainers and
ODBT partners to assist participants in applying for business licenses through the GOI’s Online Single
Submission (OSS) website. The new OSS risk-based system was launched in September 2021. The major
difference for micro and small business licensing between the previous OSS (OSS 1.1) and the current risk-
based OSS is the removal of the Small-Micro Business License (IUMK). OSS now only issues businesses with
an NIB (Business Identification Number) after a successful registration. JAPRI believes that business licensing
is an important and often overlooked part of entrepreneurship development, and sees that it brings
substantial benefits to the participants’ businesses if obtained. Through its trainers, JAPRI communicated this
message and emphasized the benefits of having business licenses, which are as follows:
• Gain certainty and legal protection in conducting business in a predetermined location, which will
enable business owners to have more confidence in engaging with their consumers and network
with other businesses.
• Gain assistance for business development. Micro and small business owners who have Ilicenses will
be provided with assistance by the Government or related institutions so that their business can
develop further.
• Gain easy access to financing from bank and non-bank financial institutions.

This quarter, JAPRI trainers invited their respective training participants to participate in mentoring sessions
where they would assist the participants through the OSS registration process. The process itself takes only
15-20 minutes if each step progresses smoothly. Since the entire process is conducted through the OSS
website, having a stable internet connection is important, which can be quite challenging when JAPRI is
working in areas that have limited internet connectivity. Overall, JAPRI held mentoring sessions for business
registration in five of its work areas, serving a total of 1,105 women entrepreneurs in total, of whom 1,075
(97%) of them have succesfully attained NIBs. The following table is list of mentoring for legalized business
for each area:

Kediri 290
The major obstacle for the delivery of the mentoring for legalized businesses was caused by the OSS system
itself. During online registration, the OSS sends a verification email with a username and password; however,
several participants did not receive an email from the OSS. There was no way to change the e-mail address
without logging in, yet to log in, the website required username and password. One participant in Trenggalek
also encountered a problem where their national ID number had already been registered, although they could
not recall ever having registered. For any system-related problem like these examples, JAPRI referred the
participants to the local Investment and One-Stop Integrated Service Agency (Dinas Penanaman Modal dan
Pelayanan Satu Pintu/DPMPTSP).
23“Previously, I neglected financial bookkeeping for my business because I
thought that it was too much work and sometimes confusing. My business
coach made me realize that this is a mistake because I can’t keep track of my
spendings and the profit I’m making.

4.5 Seed Funding
This quarter, JAPRI continued the disbursement of seed funding to selected JAPRI WEE participants. JAPRI
designed the seed funding activity as a competition, where JAPRI beneficiaries who have participated in JAPRI
trainings could submit business proposals and plans to gain access to funding. There was no significant change
in the seed funding selection process During the application round, JAPRI participants could submit their
business proposal in order to be considered. In this period, JAPRI worked together with its trainers, coaches,
and ODBT partners to ensure that their respective participants were well aware of the chance to obtain
seed funding. In Q1 FY22, JAPRI opened several additional application rounds for JAPRI’s beneficiaries in
Blitar, Bangkalan, Sampang, and Kediri, this is because JAPRI WEE was able to increase the number of seed
funding recipients due to cost savings. For Trenggalek, JAPRI decided to select business proposals from
shortlisted applicants from the previous application period. JAPRI took this approach because Trenggalek
already had numerous eligible seed funding recipients who had been shortlisted during the previous seed
funding round but had not made the final cut of recipient only because of the limitation of available spots.
Initially, JAPRI WEE targeted 90 ODBT participants in Sampang and Kediri for seeding funding this quarter.
However, due to cost-savings from other activities, JAPRI was able to increase the number of seed funding
recipients by 150, bringing the total to 240 recipients. A total of 354 proposal submissions were received,
from which 240 participants were selected to receive IDR 1,400,000 (US$100) after going through the
assessment process.
24During the application period, all JAPRI participants who had completed an ET or ODBT as well as business
mentoring/coaching could submit a business proposal. Once the application period closed, JAPRI’s team
reviewed all submitted proposals to ensure that the applicants met the following requirements:
1) Completed business proposal form
2) Attached BMC
3) Participated in JAPRI’s ET/ODBT and coaching/mentoring
4) Personal bank account.
The first criteria (‘completed business proposal form’) was an additional criterion for this quarter. The
proposal must show authenticity and not be copied from other sources. This is to further motivate the
participants to be more creative in developing business proposals and to lessen the risk of plagiarism.

The selection committee gave points to business proposals based on aspects such as business ideas, feasibility,
and budget projection. Other than points, the selection team also gave recommendations on which proposals
they thought deserved additional funds from JAPRI after examining elements outside the standard grading
elements, such as how well the participants can answer questions in the application or the relevance of their
seed funding plan to their business development. JAPRI took these considerations into account in deciding
the successful applicants.
In addition to JAPRI Master Trainers and representatives of young female entrepreneurs, JAPRI continued to
involve the Blitar Cooperative & Micro Enterprise Office (Dinas Koperasi/Dinkop) as selection team
members for seed funding selection in Blitar and a representative from Barenlitbang Kediri City to assess
business proposals from ODBT participants in Kediri. For Bangkalan and Sampang, JAPRI worked together
with MRUF’s executive director.

other sectors. Meanwhile, businesses in the handicraft sector were very few, especially compared to fashion,
services, and trading/retail.
