About the Training
In Indonesia, small and medium enterprises serve as the backbone of the economy. With over 64 million people in this community, they are responsible for the livelihoods of hundreds of millions.
Thanks to a partnership between Mastercard Center for Inclusive Growth, Mercy Corps Indonesia, and Global Cyber Alliance, entrepreneurs like Devi – micro, small, and medium businesses across Indonesia – have the skills and tools needed to increase their online digital safety and better protect themselves from cyber attack.
The cybersecurity program under Mastercard Academy 2.0, ran from January 2021 to December 2022 and was funded by a grant from the Mastercard Impact Fund. During the program timeframe, the cybersecurity toolkit received over 63,000 views from more than 300 different cities. The legacy and impact of the toolkit continues as these figures increase on an ongoing basis.
‘Our training program launched in 2020 has resulted in enhanced skills, job retention and creation, improved access to finance and professional networks, and has made a significant impact on Indonesia’s digital transformation journey’.
