Strategic Issues

Inclusive Development

Inclusive Development

Development nowadays is an exclusive development model, which only focuses on economic growth, without taking care of the level of poverty and inequality growth and degraded environment. Many groups are marginalized from development because of gender, ethnicity, age, sexual orientation, disability or poverty. Inequality of development is clearly an effect of such marginalization.

Penabulu believes that economic development must be carried out in a sustainable and inclusive way. Development and economic growth should be able to make a significant contribution to reduce poverty and to cut the development gaps.

Inclusive development can only be realized if all parties want to contribute in creating the equal opportunities, to share the benefits of development and provide maximum opportunities for public participation in decisions making process; entirely based on respect for the values and principles of human rights, participatory, non-discriminatory and accountability.

Sustainable Market

Sustainable Market

The approach of value chain is still focusing on the interventions on the structures and systems, as well as the pattern of the relationship in the value chain which is expected to enable small and medium enterprises to contribute and to get more benefit from a production chain.

Penabulu believes that beside the improvement and refinement of the value chain of a commodity/specific sector, comprehensive market intervention on the core market’s chain, supporting functions and formal/informal rules that influence a market system to work also needs to be done now.

Intervention in the market system that works for the poor people should to be conducted to find solutions for systemic problems, encourage improvements in large-scale market system and ensure the changes are becomes permanent and sustainable.

Public–Private–Community Partnership

Public–Private–Community Partnership

The fact confirms that until now it is still not possible for all listed development plans carried out unilaterally by the government; development of model that involves other stakeholders from the stage of developing, designing and managing is absolutely required.

Penabulu believe that the public-private-community partnership approach is the best synergistic operational models to achieve the goal of inclusive and sustainable development.

Within this framework, the private sector will get the long-term benefits in the balanced inclusivity between the chain of producers and consumers. The public sector will benefit with additional resources and the value of investments and the assuredness of participation and ownership of the parties; while the community will benefit with the acquisition of skills, knowledge and new technologies.

Environment and Climate Change

Environment and Climate Change

Indonesia is the second mega-biodiversity country in the world after Brazil. Indonesia also has no less than 90 types of ecosystems. Although only has 1.3% land area of the world, Indonesia has the second largest tropical forest with an area that covers more than half the tropical forests which now belongs to Asia.

However, certain traditional economic development pattern will always give a hard pressure on the environment and the support capacity for human life in both present and future. Penabulu believes that sustainable development is almost entirely lies on the right economic concept.

Development of low emission or green economy still requires strong support from civil society organizations in Indonesia. Civil society organizations should still strive to increase human well-being and social equity, while reducing environmental risks and ecological scarcity significantly by encouraging investment in low emissions and pollution, efficient utilization of energy and resources, and ensures the preservation of biodiversity and ecosystem services.

Rural Development

Rural Development

Desa Lestari Program is a comprehensive strategy for the sustainable and balanced of rural communities empowerment. The program emphasizes that rural development should be participative, based on the strength and independence of local villagers and trying to meet their needs of the present without compromising the ability of village in the fulfillment of their needs in the future.

Penabulu believes that good governance will be the main condition for the realization of an sustainable village. Only the village, which is managed, based on a sustainable development planning, considered the balance of economic, social, and environmental, that will be survived.
Development of Desa Lestari models is simultaneously combining three cycles, namely a cycle of community organizing that possibly takes more than one year; village governance cycle and village financial cycle both has annual period.

Public Health

Public Health

Public health has an important role in improving the quality of human resources, poverty alleviation and economic development. Human Development Index put the health as one of the main components in addition to education and income measurement.

The poor quality of the environment, risky behavior and the uneven quality and affordability of health care is still a general condition of health in Indonesia. The country has recognized the important role of civil society organizations, especially for a response to an infectious disease which is still relatively high prevalence in the community, such as tuberculosis, malaria and HIV/AIDS.

Penabulu believes that the improvement of the budgeting system of health care, improved governance of health services, in addition to the strengthening of civil society organizations to reach key populations community and promote the effectiveness of changes in people’s behavior become an important key to improve the quality of long-term health of Indonesian society.

Public Accountability

Public Accountability

When the country does not (yet) really present in the midst of society, then the self-governance (swatata) system was the one who actually existed: a complex system that behaves simple that organizes itself in such a manner as agreed locally. That is, in such a system, the public will never stay silent.

Penabulu believes that an understanding of the self-governance system into a fertile space for strengthening public accountability, starting with the awareness of the public’s right to obtain relevant information, which will improve the quality of public involvement in the decision making process of public (social participation, responsibility, support, control) and encourages the government to be more accountable.

Believed that the collaborative development of ICT-based interface platform will be able to push the government to be more open in presenting public information for citizens, bridge or building a model of the channel information and dialogue itself, as well as improve critical understanding and analysis capacity of citizens to public information.

Civic Space Strengthening

Civic Space Strengthening

The program to strengthen the capacity of humanitarian institutions and civil society organizations has been the focus of work since the establishment of Penabulu, accompanied by continuous efforts to develop an ecosystem of knowledge management and collective learning among CSOs in Indonesia.

Penabulu believes that the strong position and role of Indonesian CSOs will be able to become a balancing pillar for other development actors: the government and the private sector, encouraging the improvement of democracy, the fulfillment of civil rights and the improvement of basic services for the entire community in an more equitable manner.

This program facilitates efforts to strengthen CSOs in Indonesia, meeting the needs of civil society organizations and humanitarian institutions with a variety of capacity building service providers covering a wide range of needs: basic organizational management capacity (financial and program management), strategic communication, effective campaigns, resource mobilization, digital transformation and security, and other emerging capacity requirements.

The program intervenes through a series of webinars, training and mentoring activities to increase organizational capacity, encourage mobilization of domestic resources, develop collective learning and public fundraising platforms; and involved in advocacy efforts to improve enabling conditions for funding and operationalizing CSOs in Indonesia.

Justice of Digital Transformation

Justice of Digital Transformation

The Covid-19 pandemic has accelerated the process of digital transformation on all fronts, including forcing Indonesian humanitarian institutions and civil society organizations to adopt, adapt and change approaches and ways of working so far.

Penabulu believes that digital transformation will provide new possibilities for wider and meaningful community outreach and engagement. However, at the same time it also shows the weakness of the capacity of Indonesian CSOs in general at the level of approach ideas and technical capacity in managing and maximizing the use of ICT.

The program will also focus on equality of access for marginalized internet users, participating in the development of healthy internet usage patterns, rejecting digitalization that co-opts civilian life and against the insecurity of personal data and restrictions on advocacy and human rights defense work that is limited by digital means.

Program interventions are carried out through campaigns, intense and focused training, mentoring and consulting, research, studies, regular discussions and open literacy development, as well as collaborative development of platforms, products, tools and guidelines.
