Search for Common Ground | INDONESIA
Since 2002, Search has been working in Indonesia through a number of collaborative development projects, leadership training, and tech-based programs to promote tolerance, understanding, and peace. Search collaborates with civil society, national executive and legislative bodies, and law enforcement officers to build a peaceful and plural Indonesia
without violent conflict.
ABOUT PROTECT PROGRAM
PROTECT: Promoting Collective Efforts Towards Resilience and Tolerance in Indonesia is a program launched in mid-2021 by Search for Common Ground in collaboration with Yayasan Satu Keadilan (YSK), Jaringan Kerjasama Antar Umat Beragama (JAKATARUB), and Yayasan Kepedulian untuk Anak Surakarta (KAKAK). The program seeks to empower minority groups and allies to address barriers to the rights and freedoms of minority groups in Indonesia while broadening 'whole of community' collaboration and raising awareness at the public and government levels around the importance of protecting the rights of minorities.
The program focuses on capacity building and empowerment in the local civil society organizations, media actors, and religious leaders. This program also seeks to strengthen the engagement of the minorities and hard-to-reach communities in constructive dialogues and collaboration.
These objectives will be pursued through several components: situation analysis study, capacity-building training, online campaign, advocacy and policy engagement, quality assurance and coordination.
In order to push for changes on the grounds, any programs intended to promote tolerance and protection of minorities need to also promote the use of non-adversarial approaches to ensure how to embrace collaboration, audacity, tenacity, empathy, and results. The non-adversarial approaches aim to promote more tolerant communities without intending to sideline any other groups. The approach can be done through enabling every religious group to address their religious concerns with an understanding of differences and act on commonalities they may have with others. The non-adversarial approaches also aim to enable the minorities to access any platforms to share their views, to voice their grievances and interests, and to take part in inter-faith interaction and collaborative activities.
To implement these non-adversarial approaches into the promotion of tolerance, peace, and protection of minorities, intermediary roles of civil society organizations (CSOs) working to promote tolerance, peace and protection of minorities are essential. To optimize their roles, CSOs need to build their own capacity to understand concepts of tolerance and freedom of religions and beliefs, as well as protection of minorities according to the national and international standards, non-adversarial approaches, and techniques to perform outreach and engagement activities with 'hard to reach' groups as well as with online and offline media. The non-adversarial approaches will include concepts and techniques on conflict transformation and alternative dispute resolution.
The engagement skills will also include processes to building trust with communities, hard-to-reach communities, and religious actors, as well as conflict-sensitivity and psychosocial assistance; aside from enabling the minority groups to organize among themselves, to collaboratively advocate for their rights, influence government policy-making, and to maximize the use of online media to instill powerful messages of peaceful coexistence and collaboration based on commonalities or shared interests.
In accordance with the above, Search and its local implementing partners will carry out Capacity Building Training for local CSOs, Media Actors, and Religious Leaders to empower them to work on the advocacy of religious freedom, promotion of tolerance, and protection of minorities.
