This was the key takeaway from the Partnership Frameworks & Skills training in Bogor, Indonesia, this week. The training was provided for INKLUSI, an Australian government-funded program that supports gender equality, the rights of persons with disabilities and social inclusion through civil society and government partnerships in Indonesia.

The Australia-Indonesia Partnership Towards an Inclusive Society, or INKLUSI, is working to increase the participation of marginalised groups in, and their benefit from, Indonesia’s sociocultural, economic, and political development.

Discussion one on one among the participants

INKLUSI works with government and civil society partners to advance their work in gender equality, the rights of persons with disabilities, and social inclusion. INKLUSI supports the Government of Indonesia’s agenda for inclusion, including through national development plans and the Sustainable Development Goals.

The participants took breaks on the sidelines of the training

The training focused on the power of partnerships in creating social change through the principles of valuing diverse perspectives, fostering shared visions, and taking courageous steps to make sure no one is left behind!
