Women comprise the majority of workers in Indonesia's informal waste sector. To support and empower them, the CCBO programme launched a specialized initiative in 2021. This activity focused on women's personal agency and basic business training. The six-day curriculum included modules on waste management and self-development. Consequently, results showed significant increases in self-efficacy and environmental mastery. Furthermore, women's self-esteem improved markedly after the training program ended.
Economic empowerment depends heavily on individual psychological factors. For instance, self-efficacy helps women overcome daily professional challenges. The CCBO programme integrated these psychometric measures into their 2021 initiative. Moreover, participants gained access to seed funding and mentorship. As a result, the amount of waste collected increased significantly. Additionally, qualitative case studies suggested diverse livelihood improvements. Therefore, this model provides a blueprint for supporting informal workers globally. Doctors in public health should note these socio-economic links to mental well-being.
Personal agency enhances a person's belief in their capacity to manage their environment. This increased self-efficacy leads to better decision-making and increased productivity in business activities.
Women constitute the majority of workers in the informal waste sector but often lack access to training. Targeted empowerment programs bridge this gap, improving both financial stability and mental well-being.
