8. What are your programs, approaches, and strategies? What are the challenges that you are trying to address and how will your strategies support you in addressing these challenges? (required)

Our programs are organized into three main areas: Education, Culture, and Data & Technology. 1. Education: Outreach initiatives, “Wiki in the Classroom” for middle schools, workshops for Wikipedia, Wikibooks, Wikiquote, and Incubator projects, training for administrators, community meet-ups, and the development of learning modules on contributing to Wikimedia projects. 2. Culture: Outreach and workshops for Wikisource, Wikimedia Commons, Wiktionary, and Wikivoyage; community meet-ups; contests such as Wikisource competitions and Wiki Loves Earth; 1Lib1Ref workshops; digitization projects; and internships. 3. Data & Technology: Outreach and workshops for Wikidata and Wikifunctions, community meet-ups, internships, and datathons.

Approach and Strategies: These programs are designed to actively involve Wikimedia communities across different regions, educational institutions, cultural organizations, and institutions with databases. Our strategy emphasizes collaboration, capacity building, and inclusivity, ensuring that knowledge creation and access are not limited to a single group but open to diverse stakeholders.

Challenges Addressed:

• Limited awareness and participation in Wikimedia projects among educators, students, and cultural institutions.
• The need for improved digital literacy and technical skills to contribute effectively.
• Preservation and accessibility of cultural and local knowledge.
• Ensuring sustainable growth of communities as participation increases.

How Strategies Support These Challenges:

• Outreach and workshops directly raise awareness and provide hands-on experience.
• Training modules and internships build long-term capacity and technical expertise.
• Contests and collaborative projects encourage engagement and foster a sense of community.
• Partnerships with educational and cultural institutions ensure knowledge preservation and broaden participation.

Public policy advocacy

9.6.1. What specific laws, or legislative topics, are you targeting with your advocacy plans? Please be as specific as possible. (required)

Wikimedia Indonesia, through the Open Indonesia Forum 2025, developed a roadmap for advancing the open movement in Indonesia. As the initiative evolved, Open Indonesia transformed into a coalition of organizations committed to promoting openness in knowledge, culture, and technology. The coalition includes Creative Commons Indonesia, UGM Archives Preservation Lab, Mozilla Indonesia, OpenStreetMap Indonesia, The Conversation Indonesia, and Wikimedia Indonesia.

In January 2026, the coalition formalized its commitment by signing a manifesto for the Indonesian open movement and launching several key activities, including the Indonesian Openness Survey, training sessions on free licenses and openness, a policy review, and the Open Indonesia Conference 2026.

Looking ahead to the second semester of 2026, the coalition plans follow-up initiatives focused on advocacy. These will include outreach to openness stakeholders and broader engagement through media and publications, ensuring that the principles of openness continue to gain traction across Indonesian society.

9.6.2. What are the main methods and tactics via which you plan to advocate for this public policy change? Please be as specific as possible. (required)

Research and Evidence Gathering: Conducting surveys (e.g., the Indonesian Openness Survey) and policy reviews to generate credible data that highlights the importance of openness and free knowledge. This evidence will serve as the foundation for our advocacy messages.

Coalition and Stakeholder Engagement: Working through the Open Indonesia coalition, which brings together organizations such as Creative Commons Indonesia, Mozilla Indonesia, OpenStreetMap Indonesia, and others. By uniting diverse stakeholders, we amplify our collective voice and strengthen legitimacy in policy discussions.

Capacity Building and Training: Organizing workshops and training sessions on free licenses, open data, and digital literacy to empower communities, educators, and institutions. These activities ensure that stakeholders are equipped to understand and support openness in practice.

Public Campaigns and Media Advocacy: Leveraging media publications, social platforms, and public events (such as the Open Indonesia Conference) to raise awareness, shape public opinion, and build momentum around openness as a national priority.

Direct Policy Engagement: Engaging policymakers through consultations, roundtables, and outreach activities. Our approach emphasizes constructive dialogue, presenting clear recommendations, and aligning openness with national development goals.

Follow-up and Sustained Advocacy: Ensuring continuity by planning second-semester activities in 2026, including targeted outreach to openness stakeholders and ongoing advocacy through media and publications. This sustained effort helps keep openness on the policy agenda.

9.6.3. Approximately, how much of the requested budget will you dedicate to public policy advocacy (local currency)?

106000000 IDR
