Professional Experiences

CRU Indonesia (Perkumpulan Cipta Rukun Upaya) is a non-profit organization established in 2024 that strives to create a peaceful, inclusive, and just society through collaborative and peaceful conflict resolution approaches. The organization primarily engages in conflict mediation, community empowerment, policy dialogue, research, and capacity building across various focus areas, including natural resources, human rights, and governance.

Currently, CRU is implementing a project titled “Building a Decentralized Conflict Resolution Mechanism through KPH Strengthening,” scheduled to run from May 2026 to March 2027. Financed by the Ford Foundation, this initiative aims to ensure that indigenous peoples and local communities living in and around forests achieve tenurial certainty and inclusivity. The project focuses on developing, testing, and institutionalizing decentralized conflict monitoring and complaint mechanisms across pilot provinces, including Aceh, Central Sulawesi, and East Nusa Tenggara (NTT), ultimately aiming to create transparent grievance systems and integrate conflict risk screening into regional forestry management.
