Indonesia

Indonesia

Indonesia is one of the most diverse countries on the planet. It is home to more than 1,000 ethnic groups and to the largest Muslim population in the world, as well as Christians, Buddhists, Hindus, and Confucians. Despite a rich history of cultural and religious pluralism, Indonesia has seen a rise in radicalism and intolerance along ethnic, religious, and gender lines since the end of a 32-year authoritarian regime in 1998.


Since 2002, we have used collaborative development projects, leadership trainings, and tech-based programs to promote tolerance, understanding, and peace. We collaborate with civil society, national executive and legislative bodies, and law enforcement officers to build a peaceful and plural Indonesia without violent conflict.
