Policy Research
The initial aim of the school grants program in Indonesia (known as the School Operational Assistance/BOS Program) was to compensate the burden carried by the community, especially the poor, for the costs of education (elementary and junior high school) following the government’s decision to reduce fuel subsidies in 2005.
This study seeks to develop a more comprehensive understanding of the profile, role, and capacity of CSOs in Indonesia, while also identifying the challenges they face and analyzing their needs for capacity building.
The research revisits and updates the current Indonesia’s Youth Development Index to strengthen its role in underlying policies, programs, and directions for youth-related issues in Indonesia over the next five years.
This project aims to develop policy guidance and recommendations for investment action plans in support of youth, entrepreneurship, and digitalization in Indonesia.
Over the past 20 years, gender relations and the expression of power and authority between men and women in Indonesia have been shaped by the forces of reformasi, decentralisation, a reassertion of central power, and economic transitions. These changes have given rise to policy reform, an increase in women’s political representation, and new expressions of diverse gender identities.
