    SIGAP acts as the catalyst for partnerships at the national, sub-national and community level. We prioritise long-term solutions, so positive impact can be sustained long after initial intervention.

    To achieve this, we prioritise activities that build awareness and strengthen the capabilities of governments, frontline workers, and local communities. Through its focus on parenting and early learning, SIGAP is committed to laying the foundation for sustainable and meaningful development in Indonesia.
