I.Overview

Kelola is a national non-profit organization established in 1999 to enhance and promote the vitality of Indonesian arts. It works directly with Indonesian arts practitioners, across nationwide communities, in response to the needs by providing access to learning opportunities, funding, and information. Kelola also promotes cultural exchange by facilitating artists and art practitioners to engage in dialogue, gain and share skills and knowledge, as well as to build networks within Indonesia and with the international cultural communities.

Creative Communities II (KK-II) Program is a follow up of the Creative Communities I (KK-I), which was implemented from 2008 to 2010 in 29 districts in West Sumatra, Central Java and East Nusa Tenggara. This program was launched as part of The National Program for Community Empowerment (PNPM Mandiri) to strengthen the process of community empowerment. KK-I has demonstrated that using a cultural approach is an effective way to increase citizen participation and help PNPM to interact more closely with poor and marginalized citizens.

KK-II will extend the reach of Creative Communities. It aims to increase Community participation and include more marginalized groups in community decision-making.
