BACKGROUND

The Personal Advancement and Career Enhancement (P.A.C.E.) in River Side Communities project is design to support predominantly women and youth members of poor communities who live at the river banks in Jakarta. The project will emphasize on soft skills capacity building for the target group using the well tested module. However, the module will be adapted and linked to existing needs and development plans of a river side community in Jakarta.

CII believes that this pilot can become a “good practice” to showcase that Personal Advancement and Career Enhancement (P.A.C.E.) of women and youth can be combined with urban community development programming. CII is looking forward to demonstrate that the P.A.C.E. basic modules can be integrated into the urban resilient program, and can provide women and youth a more prominent role in community building urban resilience.
