It's not just specific solutions for the attending Organizers; Ms. Sylviana will also explain various collaborations that your social community can engage in with the Indonesian government. Curious? Let's explore together!

Having served as part of the DKI Jakarta government for 31 years, Ms. Sylviana believes that managing social organizations cannot be the responsibility of just a few individuals, given the vastness of Indonesia. Therefore, there are three pillars that play a role in every event or provide solutions in Indonesia. First, there is the government, both at the central and regional levels. Second, there are private companies that have a role because of their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). Third, there are the experienced and contributing members of the community.

"In my opinion, if these three pillars, these three segments, can truly collaborate, it will solve all problems," said Ms. Sylviana.

Based on her experience in the DKI Jakarta government, they have always strived to involve various parties in innovation, from planning to implementation and evaluation. All collaborations involve the community, so the government also encourages the community to register with Regional Device Organizations, such as the Social Department, to make their activities legal. This is because Indonesia has the Integrated Social Welfare Data. Through this, we can all collaborate, partner, and create extraordinary and cool programs. Organizers' grievances and solutions from Ms. Sylviana

Organizers' Concerns and Solutions from Bu Sylviana.

During this media event, Organizers were also given the opportunity to share their experiences and difficulties with Ms. Sylviana. First, there was Kak Rifai from Garis Hitam Project, who found it difficult to access collaboration with the government. Even though Garis Hitam Project had already collaborated with local agencies, they still faced certain difficulties. Kak Rifai also felt that the government lacked trust and restricted communication with communities.

To address the issues faced by Garis Hitam Project, Ms. Sylviana also observed that marginalized individuals, such as inmates, deserve equal treatment. This is because when inmates are about to be released, they often feel anxious because they are used to having their needs provided for, but now they must fend for themselves. According to Ms. Sylviana, this moment can lead to a resurgence of criminal activities if they are not provided with opportunities.

Ms. Sylviana also shared her experience of talking to inmates from several prisons. Many of them feel that life outside prison is not as comfortable as they anticipated. It is not uncommon for them to feel that their lives were better in prison because they struggle to find jobs, experience unemployment, and some end up back in prison. To prevent this, Ms. Sylviana believes the key is collaboration and building bridges with relevant government agencies, such as the Social Department and SMEs Department. Social communities are encouraged to seek information from the government.

"I think it's really great if we pass the ball to each other," she said.

Ms. Sylviana also mentioned that despite budget constraints, the government is open to recommending community initiatives to organizations or private companies related to their CSR. This is seen as a synergistic operational model that can contribute to sustainable development.

Second, Kak Reynald from Petabencana.id shared that Petabencana.id is currently struggling in Jakarta due to changes in structure and systems. Ms. Sylviana believes that Petabencana.id is a social community that needs to collaborate with the government. She thinks that the system changes are not a significant issue for Petabencana.id since they complement the existing system. Additionally, to assist Petabencana.id, Ms. Sylviana will provide contact information for government partners who can collaborate with Petabencana.id.

Third, Kak Iwan from Yayasan Satu Karsa Karya (YSKS) discussed the lack of communication synchronization between central and regional government programs. When the central government launches a plan or program, but the regional government does not immediately implement it, it hinders communication with the regional government. Moreover, although the central government has opened up collaborations with the community, when they attempt to explore this with the regional government, they often receive less open responses.

In providing solutions, Ms. Sylviana hopes for creativity from social communities and local government. Additionally, she will assist social communities in bridging communication with the government if they wish to collaborate with the government.

Finally, Kak Linda from CarbonEthics shared their experiences in collaborating with the government and the challenges related to bureaucracy and communication barriers. Kak Linda wanted to know how they could quickly collaborate with the government without being hindered by bureaucracy.

Before offering solutions, Ms. Sylviana expressed appreciation for CarbonEthics for their collaborations with the central government in reducing carbon emissions. To assist with the issues faced by CarbonEthics, Ms. Sylviana will help bridge communication with the necessary parties for collaboration with CarbonEthics.

That's it for the conversation with Ms. Sylviana. Additionally, she is very open to the stories of Organizers and strives to provide solutions to them. Not only that, Ms. Sylviana is happy to assist in bridging communication that may have been challenging for Organizers. Hopefully, through this conversation and the experiences of Organizers, young people will feel more confident that they can collaborate with the government!
