Indonesia Trade Assistance Project (ITAP)
Funding source: USAID

The ITAP is supporting the Government of Indonesia to build and strengthen
capacity related to the analysis, negotiation, and implementation of bilateral and
multilateral trade agreements. In this effort, the project is working directly with
the Ministry of Trade (MOT) to provide training that will better equip Indonesia to
further access and compete in international markets in order to fuel growth, trade
and employment leading to greater prosperity. Overall, the project is tasked to
provide assistance to the MOT in four areas: conducting an initial baseline
assessment; developing a joint work plan; providing MOT capacity development
and institutional reform expertise; and improving public-private sector dialogue
on trade.

Under subcontract, SECID was contracted to provide the following services:

• Teach and mentor personnel at Indonesia’s Trade Research and
  Development Agency, Directorate General of International Trade
  Cooperation, and other ministries about agricultural trade focusing
  on trade policies of importing and exporting countries, technical
  barriers to trade, multilateral trade negotiations on agriculture in
  the WTO, preferential trade agreements on agriculture, foreign
  direct investment and processed food trade, and competitiveness
  in the global food economy.
• Work with the staff of the Domestic Trade Research Center to
  improve skills in conducting economic analyses of distribution
  and marketing systems for strategic commodities (e.g. sugar,
  rice, fertilizer), and to help develop an international export and
  market development strategy.
• Mentor Trade Research and Development Agency employees in
  improving commodity profiles.
