Advisory project in Indonesia

In Indonesia, BIBB has been advising the Indonesian government on behalf of BMZ and GIZ since 2019. Initially, BIBB’s advisory services took place in an initiative to reform the Indonesian TVET system. Since 2025, the focus has shifted to reskilling and upskilling for the green transition on a subnational level. BIBB supports GIZ’s GESIT initiative in its endeavour to promote a sustainable economic transformation.

The current project phase (2025 – 2028) focusses on:

• Supporting the development of upskilling and reskilling concepts in focus occupations
• Supporting the development of occupational standards and curricula in focus occupations
• Supporting regional TVET governance in three pilot provinces

GIZ implements this project in cooperation with the National Ministry for Development Planning (Bappenas) as a political partner. The project is embedded in the bilateral development cooperation of BMZ. It’s goal is to use TVET as an instrument to support the Indonesian government in its pursuit of an economic transformation.
