BACKGROUND

Save the Children Indonesia (SC IDN) is a thought leader organization who articulates what children say, works for them and generates evidence about what works for children in its program implementation and policy influence/advocacy. SC IDN gained the status as an Associate Member Country in November 2019. In 2021, SC IDN’s Board of Patron has approved the transformation towards a Diversified Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) business model. It is in its journey to becoming a Full Member status and contribute to Save the Children’s global target and priority of tripling impact, to achieve the 2030 ambition for children in Indonesia.

In support of this vision, SC IDN is developing an innovative approach to tripling impact, called Ecosystem Convener model, focusing on working with more partners and together creating collective impact. Ecosystem convener model will focus on developing network of partners, setting common agenda, and agreeing on collaboration roles and responsibilities to tackle challenges issues for children in Indonesia. This model will be incubated and tested for the next few years to prove its relevancies for under SC IDN’s Innovation Sandbox.
