The PRAKARSA is a research and policy advocacy institution, a think tank based on civil society organizations. It was founded to create a democratic, just, and prosperous society through the development of ideas, policy and institutional reform, and evidence-based problem-solving innovation. The PRAKARSA focus on fiscal policy, social policy and sustainable development issues.

We conduct research, policy analysis, and training activities on various topics related to welfare issues. In carrying out various activities, we consistently adopt a collaborative and engagement approach to work with various parties: government, parliament, civil society organizations, universities, research institutions, international organizations, the private sector, development donor agencies, and the mass media.
