United In Diversity Indonesia

What United In Diversity Indonesia does

United In Diversity (UID), founded in 2003 and headquartered in Jakarta with a training campus at the Kura Kura Bali Special Economic Zone, is an Indonesian non-profit foundation dedicated to accelerating systemic transformation toward sustainable, just, and inclusive development. The organization delivers a portfolio of 14 flagship programs spanning leadership capacity building (LEADS, BEKAL Pemimpin, L2DP), systems-thinking and cross-sector education (IDEAS Asia Pacific, IDEAS Indonesia, Co-CLASS, LENTERA Indonesia), energy transition (HEAL), youth empowerment (Youth Action Forum, SPARK), environmental sustainability (SLCB for FOLUR, LEANS), and digital/sustainable cities education (Happy Digital X). UID also operates supporting digital infrastructure including the UID Event Platform for registration and the UID Fellows Platform for alumni network management. The organization's methodology is built on awareness-based systems thinking and Theory U frameworks, with no proprietary technology stack — its core assets are curriculum, facilitation expertise, and a multi-decade alumni network. Revenue is generated through four streams: program funding and grants (including from the Global Environment Facility), impact donations, endowments, and custom program co-creation fees for organizations seeking tailored leadership programs. Participants in UID programs are typically partially or fully funded, with the organization covering accommodation, meals, local transport, and learning materials for residential cohorts at the Bali campus. UID's primary participants span five segments: young leaders aged 16-30, government leaders, business executives, civil society leaders, and sector-specific professionals in energy, health, MSME, creative economy, and digital technology. Strategic partnerships are central to UID's distribution model, with flagship alliances including MIT Sloan School of Management (IDEAS Asia Pacific), Tsinghua Southeast Asia Center (Happy Digital X, hosted at UID Bali Campus), the Global Environment Facility (FOLUR/SLCB), the University of Indonesia Faculty of Administrative Sciences (LENTERA Indonesia), Rocky Mountain Institute (HEAL), and SDSN Southeast Asia (Youth Action Forum).

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• British Council Indonesia: UK government-backed organization running youth leadership, civic engagement, and capacity-building programs in Indonesia. Comparable to UID in audience (young leaders, professionals), program format (fellowships/workshops), and country footprint.
• The Asia Foundation: Larger US-headquartered development organization with long-standing Indonesia programs spanning governance, leadership, and inclusive development. Comparable to UID in cross-sector capacity building but operates at much broader geographic and budget scale.
• Aspen Institute Indonesia: The Aspen Institute runs values-based leadership programs and dialogues for senior leaders across sectors. Comparable to UID's cross-sector convening and leadership work, though much larger and broader in geographic scope.

Direct peers

• Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI): RMI partners with UID Foundation on the HEAL program and shares systems-thinking-led energy transition and capacity-building methodology. Direct peer on energy transition leadership and on the methodology stack UID applies.
• Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung (FES) Indonesia: Germany's Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung runs leadership, political education, and cross-sector dialogue programs in Indonesia through FES Indonesia. Comparable to UID in mission, target audience (young leaders, government, civil society), and country footprint.
• Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung (KAS) Indonesia: German political foundation operating in Indonesia with similar civic education, leadership development, and cross-sector programming for emerging leaders, politicians, and civil society - directly comparable to UID's LEANS and YAF formats.
• Presencing Institute: Home of Theory U methodology that UID explicitly deploys across its programs. Comparable as a methodology-first leadership and systems-change organization and a potential upstream source/destination for UID-trained practitioners.

Regional players

• Singapore International Foundation: Singapore-headquartered foundation that runs cross-border leadership, capacity-building, and social innovation programs across Southeast Asia, including Indonesia. Closely comparable program model and regional scope to UID.
• Habitat for Humanity Indonesia: International nonprofit operating in Indonesia across community development and capacity building. Comparable Indonesia footprint and nonprofit grant/donation model, though narrower in mission than UID's cross-sector leadership focus.

Emerging players

• Indonesia Climate Change Education for Sustainable Development (ICCESD): Emerging Indonesian capacity-building organizations focused on climate leadership and sustainability training. Comparable to UID's sustainability/energy transition tracks (HEAL, SLCB for FOLUR) though at smaller scale and narrower thematic focus.
