Public Policy

  • In 2022, Indonesia held the G20 presidency, focusing on the theme "Recover Together, Recover Stronger". This theme emphasized the importance of collective action to address global challenges, particularly in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic.

    In this stint, I was part of the Education Working Group under the Civil-20 (C20) coalition. Together with key members from various civil society organizations in Asia, I was one of the contributing authors of this policy brief, highlighting crucial pathways and recommendations for the G20 leaders to strengthen efforts on educational recovery in the post-pandemic world.

    The policy recommendations and lobbying efforts for the 21st Century skills adoption were highly successful; several of the recommendations were endorsed by the Indonesian Ministry of Education, leading to impactful changes in their educational policies.

     

  • “The Hidden Impact of COVID-19 on children – A global research series” by Save the Children is the largest and most comprehensive study on the impact of COVID-19 on children. The global study reveals the hidden impacts of pandemic response measures which are impacting children’s health, nutrition, education, learning, protection, wellbeing, family finances and poverty.

    I was part of the core communications team of the study and provided policy recommendations to address child poverty (Pages 59-61), children's health & nutrition (Pages 39-41), and gender equality.

  • Domestic violence remains a pervasive and complex social issue in Indonesia, despite legal prohibitions and policy efforts. According to the National Commission on Violence against Women, there were 338,496 reported cases of violence against women in 2021, a nearly 50% increase from the previous year. Women are disproportionately affected by domestic violence, with data from the Ministry of Women's Empowerment and Child Protection in Indonesia showing that in 2023, out of the total 11,324 domestic violence cases, 16,351 victims were women.

    This reflective policy essay examines my personal perspective on the challenges and complexities surrounding domestic violence cases in the country.

  • The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in immense tragedy, profoundly affecting the lives of hundreds of millions of children and their families in the Asia-Pacific region and beyond. Despite substantial governmental responses and the heroic efforts of medical personnel and other essential workers, this global crisis has imparted several costly lessons.

    As a contributor to this policy brief, I spearheaded the development of policy recommendations for each chapter.
