The USAID-funded Indonesian Masters Program in Applied Economics at the Andrew Young School trained cohorts of Indonesian economists in economic policy analysis. The capacity building program was targeted at Indonesian universities and government institutions by providing graduate training in economics for university lecturers and civil servants. The first year of program (Class of 2002) included 35 Indonesian policy analysts that returned to Indonesia. The second year of the capacity building program included 20 master’s students (Class of 2003). Since many of the participants are lecturers with universities in Indonesia's outlying regions, the Andrew Young School also works with the home institutions to build the institutional capacities of the Indonesian partner universities. Senior Indonesian policy expert Professor Sri Mulyani served as a Visiting Professor at the Andrew Young School in support of the program.
The program provided four semesters of academic training (resulting in a Masters Degree in Economics from Georgia State University), supplemented by workshops, conferences, extracurricular activities and internships designed specifically for the Indonesian students. While the students were fully integrated into the regular graduate program at GSU, additional course content was specifically developed to address key issues prominent in Indonesian economic development. A two-month training course at the University of Asia and the Pacific in Manila prepares the Indonesian students for the rigorous graduate program in the U.S.
Five out of the 55 students that participated in GSU’s master’s program continued their studies and have graduated with a Ph.D. in Economics from GSU before returning to Indonesia. See the alumni highlights section for a list of research papers and current positions of alumni of GSU’s master’s program 2001-2003.
