Nalar Institute

What Nalar Institute does

Nalar Institute is an Indonesian knowledge services organization founded in 2020 and headquartered in Sleman, D.I. Yogyakarta, focused on improving public sector performance through evidence-based capacity building. The institute's core offering is structured training and applied research across three methodological pillars: Foresight (a systematic framework using STEEPV horizon scanning, scenario planning, and roadmapping); Deliverology (a goal-driven policy delivery methodology emphasizing data, monitoring, and accountability); and Policy Communication (training in policy substance, lobbying, mediation, and negotiation). Its product architecture combines facilitator-led offline training programs (typically 4-day, 25-36 participant cohorts delivered at client locations) with a self-paced online Kelas Foresight bundled at Rp3,999,000 (≈USD 250) for six modules, supplemented by consulting, research services, and public-facing community platforms (NALAR Talks, Pojok Kebijakan, Kuliah Umum, Indonesia 2050).

The institute serves primarily Indonesian government institutions — including Bappenas (across multiple directorates), Kemendikbud, Lemhannas, Badan Ideologi Pancasila, Kementerian Agama, and Kementerian Luar Negeri — alongside civil society organizations and diaspora networks. It claims more than 14 institutional clients and 11 training programs delivered, with documented cohorts including 90+ Bappenas civil servants across three 2022-2023 foresight engagements supporting the RPJMN 2024-2029 and RPJPN 2025-2045 national planning cycle, and ~190 environmental change agents trained through the Indonesia 2050 initiative in 2023.

The organization operates with a 9-person team anchored by founder and senior advisor Yanuar Nugroho, whose dual academic-government background is the primary differentiator. Revenue is generated through four streams: online course sales, offline institutional training and capacity development, consulting services, and research/publications. No external funding, investors, or parent company have been disclosed. Distribution relies on direct institutional engagement for B2B clients and WooCommerce-based self-serve purchase for individual learners, supplemented by content marketing across YouTube, Spotify, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. Geographic scope is domestic (Indonesia) with no current international expansion.
