What Infid does

INFID is a Jakarta-based non-profit civil society organization founded in 1985 that operates as a network of 80 member organizations across Indonesia, advocating for equitable development, democracy, human rights, and social justice through evidence-based policy research and advocacy. The organization delivers its mission through three core programs: Civil Society for Human Rights & Democracy, Democratic and Gender-Just Climate Governance, and Inclusive and Equitable Development, complemented by a Publications & Research arm and a Knowledge Center that produce over 200 policy recommendations for Indonesian and global policymakers. The organization holds UN ECOSOC Special Consultative Status (since 2004, Ref. No: D1035) and served as Chair of Civil 20 (C20) during Indonesia's G20 presidency in 2022, providing direct institutional access to UN forums and the High Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development.

INFID does not sell commercial products or services. Its operating model is that of a grant-funded membership network: revenue is sourced from membership contributions, international institutional donors (European Union, UNDP, KOICA), and philanthropic foundations (Ford Foundation, National Endowment for Democracy, Canadian International Council), with program-specific funding allocated across its core advocacy pillars. The organization engages directly with Indonesian government bodies including the Presidential Staff Office (Kantor Staf Presiden), Bappenas (Kementerian PPN/Bappenas), KOMNAS HAM, the Ministry of Law and Human Rights, the Ministry of Manpower (KEMNAKER), the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), and the National Counter-Terrorism Agency (BNPT), positioning itself as a convening platform between civil society and state actors. Distribution of programs occurs through its 80-member network, government policy channels, UN and international forums, and a multi-channel digital presence spanning website, Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, X, and YouTube.
