A Diverse Nation
The Ford Foundation began working in Indonesia, from an office located in Jakarta, in 1953. Over the years, we have made more than $450 million in grants in selected fields. In 2008, we provided more than $13 million in support to our partners in Indonesia.
The great diversity of Indonesia's people and their culture—in terms of geography, religion, and social differences—is a source of strength and innovation. At the same time, the nation's ethnic and linguistic diversity presents challenges, and certain groups are significantly marginalized in their access to resources or participation in decisions that affect their lives.
Broad, Evolving Focus
The grant-making focus of the foundation has evolved over the years in response to the shifting political and economic landscape and the changing needs and priorities of Indonesia's people and communities.
Today, we are making major commitments in a range of areas, including local philanthropy; natural resources management, rural livelihoods and community empowerment; sexuality and reproductive health; governance and civil society; and public service media. Grants in these areas have been designed to strengthen individual and institutional capabilities, support innovative practices and disseminate information on successful approaches.
