Enhancing Access to essential internet services in Indonesia
ICIEC has provided EUR 40 million cover in Specific Transaction Policy to Hua Ying Management Company, supporting the importation of telecommunications equipment and services to Indonesia. Due to the nation’s immense geographical area, internet connectivity remains a substantial challenge for citizens in rural areas. The lack of reliable internet has been especially challenging during the COVID-19 pandemic with the need for populations to conduct everyday activities online. The project is supporting the Indonesian government’s effort to accelerate internet and telecommunication infrastructure development within the country. ICIEC’s intervention contributes multiple benefits to citizens of the Member Country, including reducing inequalities with regard to internet access and, in turn, increasing access to digital education and remote employment opportunities,
