Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Indonesian Philanthropy Association (PFI) has\nestablished a strategic direction for 2026 to strengthen the role of\nphilanthropic institutions as drivers of solutions to various national\ndevelopment challenges through more integrated cross-sector\ncollaboration.<\/p>\n
PFI Board Chairman Rizal Algamar stated in a comment received in\nJakarta on Saturday that this strategic direction is a continuation of\nefforts to reinforce PFI\u2019s role as a central philanthropy hub built\nthroughout the previous year.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe forward focus is not only on expanding collaboration but also\nensuring that every initiative that develops can connect within one\necosystem to become more directed collective action,\u201d he said during the\nPFI 2026 Members\u2019 General Meeting (RUA).<\/p>\n
He explained that the 2026 strategic plan is focused on three main\npillars, starting with strengthening PFI\u2019s role as a national hub to\nalign the direction of the movement.<\/p>\n
Next is developing a collaborative ecosystem through the\nMulti-Stakeholder Forum (MSF) and thematic clusters to accelerate\nsolutions to issues of poverty, economic resilience, and climate\nchange.<\/p>\n
The third pillar is strengthening knowledge infrastructure and social\nfunding innovation, including the utilisation of data and more adaptive\nand sustainable financing models.<\/p>\n
According to him, the future of Indonesian philanthropy is not only\ndetermined by the amount of resources mobilised but by the ability to\ndirect those resources into real and sustainable impacts for achieving\nthe Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).<\/p>\n
To support implementation, PFI is also developing a strategic digital\nplatform that includes a philanthropy directory for a database mapping\nof actors, as well as an impact platform for accountable impact\nmeasurement.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn addition, the Learning platform, targeted for completion in 2026,\nwill serve as a shared learning space for members,\u201d he said, emphasising\nthat all of this is part of PFI\u2019s commitment to driving the\ntransformation of national philanthropy towards more measurable,\ninclusive practices with broad impact amid increasingly complex global\nchallenges such as economic inequality and climate crises.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Director of Yayasan Bakti Barito, Dian A Purbasari,\nassessed that the collaborative approach facilitated by PFI has opened\nup broader synergy opportunities across institutions. \u201cWe not only learn\nfrom various best practices but also collaborate across institutions to\nstrengthen capacity and expand programme reach,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
In agreement, Ahmad Juwaini from Dompet Dhuafa added that a strong\nnetwork has proven to enhance the capacity and governance of\nphilanthropic institutions. Thus, this experience becomes the foundation\nfor PFI to continue strengthening a more integrated and impactful\ncollaborative approach in 2026.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe feel significant benefits in expanding networks, strengthening\ncollaboration, as well as improving capacity and institutional\ngovernance,\u201d said Ahmad.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/pfi-sets-strategic-direction-for-2026-to-strengthen-role-as-national-driver-1777110652", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
