BASAibu Wiki-NTB
Empowering Youth Voices for Public Policy in West Nusa Tenggara
Launched in February 2025 in partnership with Yayasan BASAibu Wiki (Bali), BASAibu Wiki-NTB is a youth civic engagement program designed to amplify young people's voices in shaping public policy across Nusa Tenggara Barat (NTB). Through a combination of digital literacy training, critical thinking development, and local cultural awareness, the program bridges the gap between youth aspirations and government decision-making ensuring that the next generation is not only heard, but genuinely influential.
Program Components:
- NTB Youth Conference : An opening forum that brings together youth from schools, communities, organizations, government agencies, and academic institutions to collectively identify and map priority public issues in the region.
- Wikithon for Public Participation : A web-based opinion-writing competition held in Indonesian, Sasak, and English, inviting young people to submit creative ideas, aspirations, and solutions to the issues identified at the conference.
- Policy Dialogue : An advocacy forum where Wikithon winners present their solutions directly to government stakeholders. Outcomes are compiled into policy briefs and actionable community implementation plans.
- Community Implementation : Real-world solutions developed by Wikithon winners are carried out in local communities, turning youth ideas into tangible change.
