About RT4D

The Regional Trade for Development (RT4D) initiative is funded by both the Governments of Australia and New Zealand. It assists ASEAN Member States (AMS) in meeting their commitments and realising the advantages offered by the Agreement establishing the ASEAN-Australia-New Zealand Free Trade Area, or AANZFTA, and the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership, or RCEP.

Through the AANZFTA Implementation Support Program (AISP) and the RCEP Implementation Support Program (RISP), RT4D provides tailored support to enhance the capabilities of ASEAN Member States by strengthening skills, building networks, facilitating policy options and ensuring that trade benefits everyone, including Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), women and people with disabilities.

The Governments of Australia and New Zealand have committed up to AUD 48.7 million to fund RT4D from 2020-21 to 2027-28.

Help Transform the Coffee Trade Between Indonesia and Australia! 

Are you ready to lead a high-impact project that blends trade, inclusion, and regional cooperation?

Katalis is inviting proposals for a Bilateral Value Chain Analysis for Coffee under the Indonesia-Australia Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (IA-CEPA). Indonesia is one of the world’s largest coffee producers, yet it supplies only around 3% of Australia's coffee imports. We're looking for a qualified firm to uncover the opportunities, map the challenges, and design a path for mutually beneficial trade and investment in this underleveraged sector.

This engagement goes beyond market research — it's a chance to drive inclusive economic growth, with a strong focus on gender equality, disability inclusion, and SME empowerment. You'll work alongside key stakeholders in both countries, deliver a strategic analysis, and host a high-level workshop that shapes the future of bilateral coffee trade.
