This training and mentoring activity which took place from December 2-4 was the result of curation by considering their activity on Instagram. Materials provided in this activity were Simple Finance for MSMEs, MSME HR Management, Canvas Business Model, Branding and Marketing, and Product Photos.

Jakarta PPAPP Agency Head, Tuty Kusumawati mentioned, this training and mentoring activity was held to increase Jakpreneur's ability to improve product sales. Moreover, 65 percent of 13,800 Jakpreneurs under PPAPP Agency were women entrepreneurs.

"They need to be given further training and assistance related to the use of social media, financial and human resource management, branding, packaging or product display to expand marketing and increase their income," she stated, Friday (12/3).

She assessed that MSME's role in supporting and contributing to Jakarta's economic growth cannot be ignored or denied.

"MSME is one pillar that makes Jakarta's economy running," she added.

This collaboration, she added, was a form of support to boost growth and development of MSMEs through Integrated Entrepreneurship Development program.

"We also encourage other collaborations with Yarsi to help find and market products produced by Jakpreneurs under PPAPP Agency," she conveyed.
