Advocacy

1. Increases Public Participation

Major projects funded by Danantara—such as downstream mining, energy, infrastructure or agriculture megaprojects—are decided without public input.

We push for mandatory public consultation, social impact assessments, and community consent in every major investment.

2. Standard Open Data Principles

Referring to the Open Data Charter Principles developed in 2015 by governments, civil society organizations, and experts from various countries to represent the globally agreed aspirational norms for how to publish data, there are six principles:

1. open by default;
2. timely and comprehensive;
3. accesible and usable;
4. comparable and interoperable;
5. for improved governance & citizen engagement;
6. for inclusive development and innovation.

3. Reform Governance Structure

Currently, Danantara’s governance board is populated by former presidents, political appointees, and individuals with private sector affiliations.

We advocate for a public oversight council, clear conflict of interest policies, and parliamentary review of key appointments.

4. Clear Energy Transition Roadmap

Danantara, with assets exceeding US$1 trillion, holds the key to driving the energy transition projects needed to achieve the 2050 Net Zero Emission Target.

We urge Danantara to develop an investment roadmap that aligns with global climate commitments and avoids investing in the fossil fuel sector, which risks becoming stranded assets.
