My current status A Common Indonesian People Not a donor agency Not a government agency Sabbatical Leave at IDRC Used to be Jobless
Knowledge & Friends are my only asset.
Simple Vision .. To see Indonesian Knowledge
Based Society
Indonesia 1993 Internet Users Few Cybercafe None Schools on Internet None ICT books Few ICT Magazine Few
After 10+ Years … 4+ Million Indonesian Internet Users 2500+ WiFi outdoor installations 2000+ CyberCafes 1500+ schools on the Internet 1000+ Community Radio 20+ Magazine Hundreds Books Title “Hundreds Local Authors”
Who Done It? Mostly community based. It is A PEOPLE’S MOVEMENT
Not A Project Not much gov’t funding & support Mostly self-finance No World Bank, no IMF funding
FUNDING is BAD for People’s Movement
Basic Strategies .. Consumer Producer Supply driven Demand driven Operator Based Community
