The Risk Management, Economic Sustainability, and Actuarial Science Development in Indonesia (READI) project (2015-2021) was undertaken with the financial support of the Government of Canada provided through the Department of Global Affairs Canada (GAC), with the University of Waterloo serving as the Canadian Executing Agency (CEA). The project is housed in the Department of Statistics and Actuarial Science at the University of Waterloo. Additional funding was provided by Manulife Indonesia to support elements of the project to reach its goals.
The objective of the project was to establish Indonesia as a regional centre of actuarial excellence.
The project worked with a range of key stakeholders – including high schools and universities, the insurance and pensions industry, Indonesia’s professional actuarial association, and government agencies – to:
- Increase the number and quality of Indonesian actuarial science graduates available to Indonesian businesses, universities and government agencies;
- Strengthen the linkages between industry, government and educational institutions in support of actuarial science and risk management;
- Deepen the understanding of actuarial science and risk management as a profession.
