Program Background

The Governments of Indonesia and Australia have entered into the Indonesia-Australia Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (IA-CEPA), creating a framework to unlock the vast potential of the bilateral economic relationship. To support this ambition, the IA-CEPA includes a new program – Katalis. Katalis’ goal is to maximise the benefits of IA-CEPA, support trade and investment, improve market access, and promote inclusive economic growth in Indonesia. The primary objective is to ensure the efficient and effective implementation of IA-CEPA to increase two-way trade and investment that is broad based and inclusive. 
Through a “Collaborative Hub”, Katalis will leverage existing Australian investments in Indonesia by working in partnership with other DFAT Programs, whole of government partners such as Austrade, and other sectoral partners, to deliver new activities. 
Katalis combines sound trade and development practice by supporting Indonesia to maximise the benefits of IA-CEPA, addressing regulatory challenges (through technical assistance), while resourcing innovative industry engagement in sectors of mutual interest, such as in agriculture; and by investing in standards, skills and business sector development in new areas (such as digital services and advanced manufacturing).
