What impact have you had?
Indonesian Future Leaders (IFL) is a youth organization that I founded since 2007, but officially established in 2009. It’s purposed for providing more opportunity for young people to involve and contribute for constructive social changes. As May 2010, we already have 3800 members (12 – 30 years old people), more than 100 active volunteers, and 40 committees. In terms of projects, we are focusing on Millennium Development Goals achievement, and spreading volunteerism habit for young people in Indonesia. We also already developed our programs through partnership with government officials, NGOs, Donors and sponsors, and MNC to ensure the partnership among stakeholders.
For the Youth Parliament Indonesia, it’s still staying on ideas stage, and will be implemented at the end of this year. But high attention from Inonesian youths to this program is considerably very high, including sponsors and donors. We also already had communication with some ministers and government officials which show their support on our ideas.
Problem
There are many issues and problems that I have seen in my country. One of the most critical is less of public participation (particularly youth) in political system. There’s such a big gap between government, leaders, parliaments and society. Otherwise, I also see high quality young people in my country which very possible to bring changes. That’s why I believe that it will be great opportunity for us to show that youth can be a solution of a problem, and their voices should be heared and consideration in policy making process.
Actions
First I have to consult with some experts, particularly the politicians, scholars, and medias, since the implementation will need a cooperation among those. Then, I already establish a team and highlight them with my idea, and we are keep exploring the best way to bring this idea into real action. We also do network mapping and keep developing our networks to support this project. The thing that might prevent it from success is less donation and power from government which afraid and doubt with youth participation
Results
Youth voices will be put into consideration on policy making process.
Youth will get a media and place to share their ideas with their peers, public, and stakeholders
There are routine recommendations, and resolutions as output of the parliament which will highlight the government officials with new and fresh ideas from young people
Eliminate the border and big gap between parliaments and society.
