WAVE OF INDONESIA

The Wave of Indonesia has officially been launched during the 10th World Water Forum in Bali and is part of the newly established Center of Excellence (CoE) for Water and Climate Resilience. Together with the Indonesian students, young water leaders and partners we foster a youth-led ecosystem for global water challenges. We link youth networks to enhance water awareness, education and innovation through collaborative efforts.

Bilateral cooperation and national priority agenda

The Indonesian Wave is part of the Bali Youth Plan, which is an official program of the National Organising Committee of the 10th World Water Forum and aims to create a sustainable youth plan to enhance water awareness.

The Netherlands and Indonesia signed an MoU on Water for 2023-2027 and consists of Capacity building, knowledge exchange, and youth engagement as one of the working groups.

Targets

The Indonesian wave contributes in the water challenges by focussing on 3 specific goals:

ACCESS
Provide access to job and learning opportunities both locally and internationally, recognising the importance of learning from other countries through benchmarking.
ADVOCAY
Accelerate for increased youth involvement at executive and board levels in the water sector.
AWARENESS
Raise awareness about water-related issues and empower youth to take proactive roles in the water sector.

The Peatland Stewardship Camp – a collaborative effort by Ranu Welum, Wave of Indonesia and Mata Garuda.
