As an independent development and humanitarian organisation, we work alongside children, young people, our supporters and partners to tackle the root causes of the challenges facing girls and all vulnerable children. We support children’s rights from birth until they reach adulthood and enable children to prepare for and respond to crises and adversity. We drive changes in practice and policy at local, national and global levels using our reach, experience and knowledge. For over 80 years we have been building powerful partnerships for children, and we are active in over 75 countries.
Plan International has been operating in Indonesia since 1969, according to the Memorandum of Understanding with the Government of Indonesia. In 2017, Plan International Indonesia transformed into Yayasan Plan International Indonesia; registered by the Ministry of Law and Human Rights. This transformation aims to reach more children, especially girls in Indonesia.

The goal of the project is to create a safe and resilient city through youth empowerment and leadership, both for the young women and young men.

Following the successful of the project in Jakarta Province, Plan Indonesia will continue to phase 2 project’ in 2 villages in Depok Municipalities, West Java Province. The villages were chosen as the project implementing areas due to its characteristics in urban area, buffering zone towards Jakarta metropolitan, and various social and environmental problems. In the Phase 2, young people in the age of 15-24 years old are the primary target group in the project implementation. Moreover, youth both young women and young men act as an active driver in all project activities.
The project has set two key objectives, namely:

Adolescents and young people aged 15 to 24 years old, particularly girls and young women and youth with disability, enhance their risk knowledge including in health and safety practices, lead the community to overcome shocks and stresses from flood risk and waste issues, and live and thrive in a healthy and safe natural environment.
S.O. #2. Government authorities and communities recognize the role of adolescents and young people and support their participation in the processes of consultations, planning, and reviewing of programs related to preparedness and response to floods and waste management at village and municipality levels.
In achieving key objectives, the project aims for 3 intended outcomes, namely:
Oc #1. Adolescents and Young (AY) in urban areas increased their resilience capacities for dealing with crisis and shocks.
Oc #2. Adolescents and young people are able to act and lead to strengthening resilience by establishing the waste management system, developing preparedness towards flood hazards, and establishing early warning systems.
Oc #3. Government policymakers institutionalize young people’s participation in processes of consultations, planning, budgeting, and/or decision-making processes especially for protecting AY from shocks and stresses.
