About Us
Yappika's vision, mission, values, and strategic direction in strengthening civic space in Indonesia.
Vision
An open, safe, and equitable civic space
A civic space in Indonesia that is open, inclusive, and just, where people are able to speak, organize, and participate meaningfully in shaping public life.
Strategic Direction
Connecting advocacy, knowledge, and collaboration
Yappika works at the intersection of field evidence, community capacity building, and policy engagement so that social change moves beyond discourse and into practice.
Our Mission
1. Strengthen civil society capacity
Support organizations, communities, and citizens in building stronger advocacy, documentation, and organizing capabilities.
2. Promote public policy accountability
Bring forward research, monitoring, and policy communication so decision-making becomes more transparent and public-interest driven.
3. Expand citizen participation
Create wider participation pathways for citizens, especially groups most affected yet least represented in policy processes.
4. Build cross-sector collaboration
Connect communities, civil society organizations, academics, media, and development partners to produce broader and more durable change.
Organizational Values
Integrity
We work with honesty, accountability, and consistency.
Equality
We uphold the dignity and rights of every person on equal terms.
Diversity
We nurture inclusive space for different backgrounds and voices.
Collaboration
We believe meaningful change grows from shared work and mutual trust.
What We Believe
A healthy civic space is not only about freedom of expression. It is also about access to information, protection for vulnerable groups, and fair opportunities for people to influence public policy.
That is why every Yappika initiative is designed to bring knowledge, solidarity, and collective action together at both local and national levels.
