Pertamina Records 16,601 Beneficiaries of PFmuda Programme
Jakarta (ANTARA) – Pertamina Foundation chairman Agus Mashud S Asngari said the PFmuda programme had reached 16,601 beneficiaries to date.
“Marking Youth Pledge Day, Pertamina Foundation is once again affirming its tangible commitment to mobilising the considerable potential of Indonesia’s younger generation and encouraging them to take an active role in sustainable national development,” he said in a statement in Jakarta on Thursday.
Agus said that through its flagship PFmuda programme, Pertamina Foundation provides a strategic platform for young innovators, agents of change and social entrepreneurs from across Indonesia to develop innovative solutions to real problems in the social, economic and environmental sectors.
“Over the course of the programme, PFmuda has recorded a total of 16,601 beneficiaries, comprising 9,067 women and 7,534 men,” he said.
The programme also focuses on vulnerable groups, including 1,625 women heading households, 1,043 people in Indonesia’s frontier, outermost and least-developed regions (3T), 644 people with disabilities and 89 street children.
In terms of economic empowerment and job creation, PFmuda initiatives have opened up new employment opportunities for 2,208 people.
The social entrepreneurs supported by the programme have also recorded average annual turnover of Rp270 million.
“These positive financial results show that the social solutions developed by young people are not merely philanthropic; they have independent, resilient business models that are highly competitive in the market,” he said.
He said that by 2025, PFmuda initiatives had engaged 362 winning groups across 28 provinces and 227 regencies and municipalities in Indonesia.
This extensive geographical reach shows that social innovation is flourishing not only in major cities but also in areas in need of creative development initiatives.
The commitment to developing future leaders was further strengthened by PFmuda’s achievements in 2025, when it selected and supported 110 winning groups as Young Leaders.
Agus added that young people’s consistency and creativity in developing social innovations were key to addressing the nation’s future development challenges. He said the collective energy of young people needed to be supported by an appropriate development ecosystem so that its benefits could be sustained over the long term.
“On the spirit of Youth Pledge Day, we see that young Indonesians not only have creative ideas, but also extraordinary courage to bring about real change in their communities,” Agus said.
Pertamina Foundation believes that an inclusive, independent and sustainable future for Indonesia depends greatly on the capabilities of its younger generation.
“With strong collaboration, boundless innovation and consistent action through the PFmuda programme, young Indonesians will continue to be at the forefront of bringing positive change to the country,” Agus said.
