        "content": "<p>On 27 June 2024, the Delegation of the European Union (EU) to\nIndonesia, in cooperation with the Ministry of Development Planning\n(BAPPENAS) and civil society partners, organised the EU-Indonesia Civil\nSociety Forum. The aim of the event was to promote Indonesia\u2019s\ndevelopment plans and ambitions in the field of green development.\nDuring the Forum, the EU Ambassador to Indonesia, H.E. Denis Chaibi, and\ncivil society actors launched four new EU-supported projects. These\ninitiatives are designed to strengthen civil society and focus on energy\ntransformation, sustainable land use, social forestry, and creating an\nenabling environment for civil society organizations. WWF Indonesia and\nAuriga Nusantara are implementing the first project, \u2018Enabling civil\nsociety contribution to prosperous, equitable and sustainable\ndevelopment in the energy transition and sustainable land use.\u2019 This\nthree-year project will support local civil society organizations to\npromote responsible land use management and energy transition in Jambi,\nCentral Kalimantan, South East, and Central Sulawesi. The second\nproject, \u201cCSOs Standing Shoulder to Shoulder in Defense of Forest\nLivelihoods,\u201d is led by KKI Warsi, Aksi!, WALHI, and IUCN NL. This\ninitiative supports indigenous peoples and local communities (IPLCs) in\nJambi, Bengkulu, and West Sumatra in sustainable forest management and\npolicy advocacy for improved livelihoods and forest sustainability. The\nthird project, \u201cStrengthening Civic Space and Improving the Environment\nand Capacity of Local Networked CSOs to Promote Equitable and Inclusive\nEnvironmental Transition in Indonesia (CO-EVOLVE 2)\u201d, is a collaboration\nbetween Penabulu Foundation, ASEAN Youth Forum, Indonesian Data\nJournalism Network (IDJN) and Lokadaya Nusantara Network Foundation.\nThis project focuses on strengthening the networks of civil society\norganizations with a particular focus on gender and youth perspectives.\nThe fourth project, \u201cBuilding an Enabling Environment and Strong Civil\nSociety in Indonesia (BASIS),\u201d involves YAPPIKA-ActionAid and SEPAHAM.\nIt is being implemented in Java, Kalimantan, and Sumatra to support the\ndevelopment of civil society organizations, capacity building, and\neffective monitoring and advocacy. The Forum also launched the first\nYouth Sounding Board (YSB) in Indonesia, which highlights youth\nparticipation as a key factor in the country\u2019s development. This\ninitiative aims to strengthen youth participation and cooperation in\nhigher education and to complement the ERASMUS+ program, which supports\nscholarships and partnerships in education. The YSB consists of 15 young\npeople from different regions of Indonesia and serves as a youth\nadvisory group to the EU Delegation to Indonesia. This effort reflects\nthe EU\u2019s commitment to supporting Indonesia\u2019s ecological transition and\nsustainable development through collaborative projects and inclusive\ncivil society engagement.<\/p>",
