The KNB (Kemitraan Negara Berkembang) Scholarship was opened between February 2021 – May 2021 for prospective students for the 2021/22 academic year.
Through a publication by the Indonesian Consulate in Ghana, some Ghanaians had the opportunity to apply for the scholarship through which Ms. Daisy Kemi Armah who among the applicants was selected alongside one other Ghanaian, (who later left for USA) to study in Indonesia. Their departure was, however, deferred from August 2021 to February 2022 due to the adverse effects of the coronavirus pandemic in Indonesia.
Ms. Daisy Kemi Armah was seen off at the Kotoka International Airport on Wednesday, 2nd February 2022, by the Indonesian Consul to Ghana, His Excellency Paskal A.B. Rois who wished her a safe trip and study time in Indonesia.
Ms. Armah was so excited about the opportunity, especially after learning that everything was free and all expenses paid for her by the Indonesian government.
The Directorate General of Higher Education, Ministry of Education and Culture of Indonesia, established the prestigious KNB Scholarship, for international students from developing countries who desire to pursue their bachelor, master, and doctoral degrees in Indonesian universities.
The scholarship offers the chance to learn and experience life in the middle of Indonesian culture, where international students will not only obtain academic experience and qualifications but also have a deeper cultural understanding of Indonesia.
Another objective of the KNB Scholarship is to contribute and increase the quality of human resources in developing countries, assist in promoting the Indonesian culture overseas, and improve the internationalization of educational institutions in Indonesia. The scholarship has partnered with 20 leading universities in Indonesia, with more than 1,200 recipients from 94 countries.
The age limit for applicants who wish to study for their bachelor degree is 25 years, while that of Masters and postgraduate is pegged at 35 years. Also, the age limit for Ph.D is 40 years.
H.E Paskal A.B Rois, however, implored Ghanaian to take interest in the scholarship scheme and apply, since it comes at no cost. He detailed that the scholarship covers students’ visa, air tickets, food, transport, hostel fees and monthly, book, and research allowances to enhance their studies.
The Indonesian Ambassador H.E. Dr. Usra Hendra Harahap and the staff of the Indonesian Embassy in Abuja on January 22, 2022 held a meeting with the Benin Industrial Free Zone authorities located in Seme-Krake (with the CEO of Benin FPZ Mr. ICHOLA ALIMI Saliou).
The Indonesian Embassy has succeeded in obtaining an exclusive location of 50 hectares of land in the zone, which is only 6 km from the Benin – Nigeria border, which will be designated for Indonesian companies wishing to invest in Benin. The huge benefits for Indonesian investors when building an industry in this zone include a rental fee of $3/per year/m2 for a 99-year lease, a very wide market access with a composition of 35% of the domestic market (including ECOWAS), and 65% of the global market (tax free) to enter the American and European markets), free access to own raw materials and other attractive facilities provided by the Government of the Republic of Benin. Suitable for investment in the fields of Palm Oil processing, Petrochemicals, Fertilizers and Textiles.
Currently, some of the land has been used by investors from China and the Middle East. “Lets go further to get market access for 500 million population in West and Central African Countries”.
On Monday, 10th January 2022, the Honorary Consul of the Republic of Indonesia, H.E. Paskal A.B. Rois had a very positive discussion with the CEO of EIB Network, Nat Kwabena Adisi, popularly known as Bola Ray, on how to increase bilateral trade between Ghana and Indonesia.
They discussed among other things how Ghana can leverage the industrial proficiencies of Indonesia and partner with it to build a strong industrial sector here in Ghana.
Indonesia currently manufactures almost every single product being used and exports a substantial quantity to Europe, America, and Africa. Indonesian products are also of European standard.
H.E Rois was full of hope that Bola Ray being an ambassador for the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), is well-positioned to make this dream a reality, by engaging investors and industry players and sharing with them opportunities in Ghana and Africa.
He also proposed a partnership between GhOne TV which is one of the media outlets under EIB Network and the Indonesian National Television station to promote growth in Ghana’s media landscape. He also appealed to Bola Ray to provide a platform to promote Indonesia’s tourism, e-commerce, industry, among others on the EIB network.
Mr. Nat Kwabena Adisi a.k.a Bola Ray and H.E. Paskal A.B. Rois during their discussions.
H.E Rois was very optimistic this partnership would lead to enhance human resources in the media landscape, where personnel would benefit from training and exchange programs. It would see to the provision of state-of-the-art equipment.
He took the opportunity to congratulate Bola Ray on his journey in the media landscape and his immerse contribution to the growth of Ghana’s media landscape and showbiz industry.
Bola Ray promised his commitment to establishing a stronger tie between Ghana and Indonesia towards the common good of both nations.

FRIDAY, 10TH DECEMBER, 2021 AT THE MARRIOTT HOTEL, ACCRA
Good evening, distinguished ladies and gentlemen!
Chairperson of the occasion, Your Excellencies, President, Executives and Members of the Asian-African Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Traditional Authorities, Invited Guests, all Protocols Observed.
It’s an honor done me to address this august gathering of the Asian-African Leadership Forum and Awards Night as the Special Guest of Honour.
It gives me much pleasure to use the platform to highlight the Asian-African relationship with Indonesia and Ghana in retrospect, and how these two countries can leverage opportunities and partnerships to develop their nations and their peoples.
Africa is a resource-rich continent, where a lot of natural resources are abound, ranging from oil, gas, minerals, arable lands among others.
The continent’s economy is largely dependent on trade, industry, agriculture, and Human Resources.
The development of the continent in recent times according to experts is due to the growth in sales of commodities, services, and manufacturing, with a projected GDP of $29 trillion by 2050.
H.E. PASKAL A. B. ROISDELIVERING HIS SPEECH
In my view, Africa would easily reach this far before the suggested year if it strengthen its ties with the Asian continent.
Asia which was the poorest continent in the 1960s is now recognized as the fastest-growing economic region, and the largest continental economy by both GDP Nominal and PPP in the world.
Madam Chair, Asia which houses, China, the second world largest economy when measured by nominal GDP, is becoming a force to reckon with on the global stage.
A close trade relationship and collaboration with Asia would drive the accelerated growth of the African continent’s economy.
Madam Chair, the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) headquartered in Accra, Ghana has become a major catalyst to realizing an African Economic Community and Customs Union dream as envisaged some two decades ago under the 1991 Abuja Treaty.
It is, therefore, my hope, prayer, and expectation that the Asian-African Chamber of Commerce & Industry would take advantage of the presence of the Secretariat in Ghana to achieve its trade-related goals including increasing trade among the millions of the nationals living in the 102 countries on the two sister continents of Asia and Africa.
Ghana has over the period enjoyed political stability in the 4th Republic, which you would agree with me plays a vital role in economic growth. Ghana over the period has also experienced rapid urbanization resulting in a shift of labour into services. The urban population rose from 36% in 1990 to 55% in 2016.
Madam Chairperson, though the country had experienced some ups and downs in its history of economics, the West African country was named the fastest-growing economy in 2019, a development which was no mean achievement.
H.E. PASKAL A. B. ROISDELIVERING HIS SPEECH
This was anchored on good governance and sustainable development through the introduction of economic reforms and policies that sought to strengthen the private sector and industries.
Ghana’s enormous natural resource base could not be underestimated as a contributing factor to the steady growth of the country’s economy. It is blessed with gold, timber, cocoa, oil and gas, just to mention a few. However, there is much more to be done to raise the Ghanaian economy to be at par with other developed countries across the globe.
Ghana is plagued with employment deficit, inadequate industrial human resources and food insecurity among others. According to Ghana’s Ministry of Food and Agriculture, about 5% of Ghana’s population has food insecurity challenges and about 2 million people are vulnerable to becoming victims of food insecurity.
Madam Chair, the data indicated that agricultural growth has been more rapid than growth in the non-agricultural sectors in recent years, expanding by an average annual rate of 5.5%, compared to 5.2% for the economy as a whole.
PHOTOS FROM THE EVENT
The availability of investment capital, required machinery, and expertise can help turn around the fortunes of the country, which has vast arable lands and a conducive climate for crop and animal production. Similar developments in the manufacturing industry, real estate development, aviation as well as the oil and gas sectors across Africa would increase the continent’s economic growth in all its spheres. Madam Chairperson, it is for this reason that I applaud the efforts of the Asian African Chamber of Commerce and Industry in promoting trade and collaborations between the two continents.
I am informed that the Chamber serves as a platform to draw industry players and investors to form a synergy towards promoting economic growth of the African continent. This, when well-executed would improve bilateral trade, build a robust industry, create jobs, build human capacity, and enhance foreign exchange. Indonesia has the largest economy in Southeast Asia and one of the emerging market economies of the world. It is classified as a newly industrialized country. Its economy which is ranked the 15th largest economy in the world is largely controlled by individual Indonesians and foreign companies since the 1990s.
H.E. PASKAL A. B. ROISDELIVERING HIS SPEECH
PHOTOS FROM THE EVENT
Indonesian products, which are of high quality, have dominated the world market, with a good representation here in Ghana as well. The most sought-after noodle product, ‘Indomie’ is produced by an Indonesian company, likewise the ‘So Klin’, ‘Medi Soft’, ‘Viking’, ‘Sardine’ ‘Pro Cold’ flu medicine among others.
With this at hand, I believe Indonesia stands in a good position to contribute to the development of Ghana’s industrial sector under the initiative of the Asian-African Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
The Republic of Indonesia Consulate in Ghana has already begun leading investors to explore opportunities and partner with players in the various sectors. A team recently visited some farms in the Central Tongu District of the Volta Region to have first-hand information on crop and animal production.
PHOTOS FROM THE EVENT
We are looking forward to introducing more investors to industry players in the private sector to foster a business relationship and promote Ghana’s economic growth. The Consulate is open to supporting and guiding entities that may wish to trade or partner with investors from the Asian continent.
I am, therefore, entreating all stakeholders to join forces with the Asian-African Chamber of Commerce and Industry in promoting the agenda of industrializing Africa and promoting bilateral trade.
PHOTOS FROM THE EVENT
Let me emphasize that this initiative will also significantly contribute to the recovery of the continent’s economy from the devastations of the Coronavirus pandemic, which has wrecked havoc in the global economy.
I am very optimistic this initiative is in the right direction and that its objectives would easily be achieved with a concerted effort from all quarters.
Let’s all join hands and build Africa to become Asia and Asia to become Africa. Let me use this opportunity to congratulate all award winners and urge them to continue to excel in their respective ventures.
Long Live Asia!
Long Live Africa!
Long Live Indonesia!
Long Live Ghana!
Thank you for your audience.
Please remember to stay safe during this COVID-19 pandemic era.
Words seem inadequate to express our sadness over the news of a volcano eruption on the Semeru Mountain on Indonesia’s Java island, on Saturday.
We are heartbroken learning that about 11 villages in Lumajang, in East Java, were affected, where 56 people have been injured with about 13 deaths.
Condolences to the deceased families and entire Indonesia on the loss.
The Consulate shares the grief of victims, children, traders, workers and farmers at this difficult time with deep sympathy and condolences.
We are aware of the devastations, physical and emotional scars this unfortunate incident would leave on the victims and affected communities, hence would always keep you in our prayers.
We congratulate the police and military officials working very hard to dig out bodies, as houses were buried to their rooftops and vehicles wholly submerged.
We appreciate the Indonesia Disaster Mitigation Agency (BNPB) for the rapid response to treat the injured at various medical facilities and evacuate about 1,300 people from the affected areas.
We are also grateful for their efforts in rescuing over 10 sand mine workers who were trapped in buildings.
The Indonesian government has provided rescue shelters equipped with food, face masks, tarpaulins, and body bags for the affected persons.
Words may not be able to express our sadness, but we do want you to know that we have you in our prayers and would continue to provide any support needed in these trying times.
The Honorary Consul of the Republic of Indonesia in Ghana, H.E. Paskal A. B. Rois has led an Indonesian agribusiness investor to some cash-crop farms at Mafi Anfoe in the Central Tongu district of the Volta Region.
The Indonesian investor, a former Governor of Aceh as well as a Member of Parliament (MP) in Indonesia, Dr. Ir H. Abdullah Puteh MSi was accompanied by the Indonesian Ambassador to West Africa including Ghana in Abuja-Nigeria, H.E. Dr. Usra Hendra Harahap and wife Mrs. Umrotien Zunaeny Sahroni as well as the Counsellor for Political and Economic Affairs, Mr. Fahmi Aris Innayah.
The visit took the five-member team to a 1,200 acre plot of land belonging to a 39-year old farmer who is into mango, coconut, cassava, yam, dragon fruits and ginger cultivation. The youth farmer, Mr. Shine Aboetaka has not only created employment for eleven (11) people but also able to process only three (3) tonnes of cassava into chips out of the current available twenty (20) tonnage monthly market demand. Mr. Aboetaka has also created one of the biggest private dams in the area as part of his Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). The dam serves the needs of about 5000 residents and farmers in eight (8) communities including Meyikpor, Yevuyiborkope and Kpoglikope.
The team also visited the Staise Farms of a 65-year old farmer who is into a 100-acre oil palm plantation which is currently at the fruiting stage. The two farmers have expressed grave interest in seeking for technological and skills expertise and know-how from Indonesia in order to improve their operations.
The visit of the Indonesian team to the farms was aimed among other things at exploring the possible available opportunities of investing in the agribusiness sector of the Volta Region in particular and Ghana as a whole. The investment, H.E. Rois indicated would not only strengthen the bi-lateral trade ties between Ghana and Indonesia but also open new chapters in the already existing relationship between the two countries.
Receiving the Indonesian delegation at the district capital at Adidome, District Chief Executive (DCE) for the area, Hon. Thomas Moore Zonyrah described the visit as very heartwarming, adding that he was privileged that his district had become the first in the country to receive such a high-powered Indonesian delegation.
He used the opportunity to assure the delegation not only of a litigation-free land and a peaceful environment for investors but also the availability of labour for any prospective investor.
According to the DCE, there are some five (5) investors already doing well in the agribusiness sub-sector of the district’s economy, adding that the Indonesian interest would be given all the needed support to succeed as well.
The Member of Parliament (MP) for the area, Hon. Alexander Gabby Hottorwodze described the visit of the Indonesian investor and delegation as timely, emphasizing that such a move would create job opportunities for the teaming youth of the constituency. He therefore pledged his support to the initiative and assured the members of the delegation of his commitment and that of the Assembly to ensure that such a dream becomes a reality.
Speaking to journalists after the two-hour tour, the Indonesian prospective businessman and MP, Honourable Dr. Ir H. Abdullah Puteh MSi noted that he was impressed about the farms visited, explaining that the opportunities are great and enormous to explore.
Dr. Ir H. Abdullah Puteh MSi and H.E , Dr. Usra Hendra Harahap
According to Dr. Ir H. Abdullah Puteh who is also the former Governor of Aceh in Indonesia, disclosed that some soil testing exercise would be carried out on the oil palm plantation farm for instance to see the way forward. He also gave the assurance that the team would return for further deliberations in order to make the dream a reality.
The Indonesian Ambassador in-charge of Ghana and other West African countries, Dr. Usra Hendra Harahap was impressed about the trip, assuring that Indonesia has a lot to offer Ghana in its quest to improve the agribusiness sector of the Ghanaian economy. He emphasized the need for the two countries to continue to work closely with each other so as to promote trade and business as well as development in the other sectors of the country.
The Honorary Consul of the Republic of Indonesia in Ghana, H.E. Paskal A. B. Rois appealed to the media in Ghana to educate the citizenry on the age-old ties between Indonesia and Ghana which dates back to Ghana’s independence era. According to him, Ghanaians use a lot of Indonesian products but they hardly know that such products are made from Indonesia. H.E. Rois mentioned the household indomi noodles, So Klin, Medi Soft soap, Procold Flu tablet and some writing pads as products used by Ghanaians. He emphasized that Ghana has a lot to benefit from Indonesia because Indonesia produces almost everything its citizens consume or use.
The Honorary Consul of the Republic of Indonesia in Ghana, His Excellency, Paskal A.B. RoIs has held a dinner in honour of the members of the Indonesian community in Accra as part of his efforts to deepen the relationship between the Consulate and Indonesian nationals in the country.

Rois assured the members of the Indonesian community in Ghana as well as the investors that he would do everything possible to support their efforts at uniting and strengthening the existing ties between the two countries. He also assured the Indonesian investors that Ghana has a positive enabling environment for investment in the agribusiness and its related sectors, adding that investing in the palm oil and rice sectors in particular and the agricultural sector in general would be very rewarding.

He described their visit as very positive, saying they are looking forward for greater opportunities to invest in the agribusiness sector of the Ghanaian economy. Dr. Ir H. Abdullah also noted that Ghana has become a strategic place for investment in the West African sub-region. He therefore stressed the need for Indonesia to take advantage of such an opportunity to invest in Ghana so as to enable the country to become the gateway to the African continent.
The Indonesian government says it is committed to invest in Ghana, particular in the areas of education and agriculture to ensure progress.
Ghana has over the years had lots of challenges with respect to agriculture produce loses.
As a result, Ghana, which used to tout it self as the food basket of West Africa is gradually losing its pride.
Hopes are however getting restored as the Indonesian government, together with other stakeholders have pledged to improve Ghana’s food processing industry.
Speaking at a ceremony to welcome some Ghanaian students who were fully funded by the Indonesian government to study in Indonesia, the Honorary Console of Indonesia in Ghana, Paskal Rois, said there is a need to strengthen ties between the two nations for unity and stability.
The Indonesian Console in Ghana, who doubles as the CEO of Rig Oil International Services limited, said Ghana and Indonesia will continue to collaborate and support students thrive in education.
“The students are beneficiaries of KMB scholarship by the Indonesian government which is opened to all persons who are academically good”. Paskal Rois stressed
28 year old Courage Kraah is part of the beneficiaries who studied Post Harvest Technology in Indonesia.
After completing his university education in Ghana, Courage had a scholarship to study at Indonesia and he says his agenda is to support Ghana’s food processing industry.
According to him, he has a vision of investing hugely into Ghana’s agriculture sector particularly on food processing.
“I offered Post Harvest Technology as a course in Indonesia. As a result, I have gained much experience in agriculture and I hope to help my country with it.” Determined Courage Kraah emphasized.
The Honorary Consul of the Republic of Indonesia in Ghana, Hon. Paskal A.B. Rois has stressed the need for more Ghanaians to take advantage of the Kemitraan Negara Berkembang (KNB) Scholarship of the Republic of Indonesia to pursue a wide range of courses in Indonesia. According to him, such a support scheme from the Indonesian government would not only build the capacities, skills and knowledge of many of the youth of the country but also help contribute to the human resource development of the country.
Hon. Rois was speaking at a brief ceremony at the Kotoka International Airport in Accra during the return to the country of a Ghanaian beneficiary of the KNB Scholarship. Mr. Courage Yaw Krah a beneficiary of the scholarship was in Indonesia since September, 2018 to November, 2021 to pursue a Master’s degree programme in Post Harvest Technology in the Institut Pertamian Bogor (IPB). Since its inception in 1992, just few Ghanaians have applied to access this scholarship, a situation the Consul finds worrying.
The KNB Scholarship is a financial assistance package offered by the Indonesian government to prospective international students from developing countries to pursue Bachelor, Master and Doctorate degree courses of their choice in top ranked Indonesian universities.
H.E. Paskal A.B. Rois
The scholarship idea was conceived in the 10th Conference of Heads of State of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) countries between 1st and 6th September, 1992 after which Indonesia began implementing the package the following year.
Speaking at the event, the Honorary Consul who is also the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Managing Director of Rig Oil International Services (ROIS) Limited in Ghana, commended the latest beneficiary of the scholarship scheme for returning to Ghana on completion of his academic programme. Hon. Rois extolled the benefits of the all-expenses-paid KNB scholarship which he said offers the beneficiaries not only the experience of studying in top Indonesian universities but also living in one of the world’s most diverse and vibrant societies.
The Honorary Consule said the objective of the scholarship is aimed among other things at contributing to human resource development base of developing countries around the globe. It promotes deeper cultural understanding not only between developing countries but also strengthening the relationship and cooperation between such countries.
Hon. Rois mentioned Humanities, Engineering, Social Sciences, Sciences and Education as the available programmes under the scheme which there are several courses available for pursuance among other courses available.
H.E. Paskal A.B. Rois
He stated that the scholarship for Bachelor degree programmes is opened to persons aged 25 and below while the Master’s degree courses are available to persons aged 35 and below with CGPA of 3.25/4.0. The Doctorate degree scholarship is for persons aged 40 years and below.
The 2018 beneficiary of the KNB Scholarship, Mr. Courage Yaw Krah who studied Master of Science (MSc) in Post Harvest Technology at the IPB University, disclosed that all his expenses including flights to and from Indonesia were covered by the scholarship. Mr. Krah said he had learnt more about processing foodstuffs which he is looking forward to practising in Ghana.
Mr. Courage Yaw Krah and H.E. Paskal A.B. Rois
Mr. Krah urged that more Ghanaians youths should endeavor to apply for the KNB scholarship to help them finance their education. According to him, with the presence of the Indonesian Consulate in Ghana, applying for the KNB Scholarship has become easier than ever before.
H.E. Paskal A.B. Rois , Miss Daisy Armah ( 2021 beneficiary of the KNB Scholarship ) and Mr. Courage Yaw Krah ( 2018 beneficiary of the KNB Scholarship)
The 2021 beneficiary of the Scholarship, Miss Daisy Armah was also present at the ceremony. She is scheduled to leave in December 2021 to pursue masters degree in management at the Institut Pertanian Bogor (IPB), Indonesia.
She also expressed gratitude to the Indonesian Consulate in Ghana for assisting her throughout the application process.
The next KNB Scholarship application process would be opened in February 2022.
