Organization Details

The Merah Putih Initiative (TMPI) is a non-government institution, formed out of a deep commitment to addressing Indonesia’s evolving policy environment. Our mission is to set a new benchmark on how the country’s policy priorities are designed, executed, and improved.

As national policy priorities expanded in scale and ambition, many lacked clear public articulation and faced challenges in grassroots execution, resulting in suboptimal impact despite their long-term importance.

TMPI exists to close these gaps and strengthen how policy intent translates into credible development outcomes.
