The Country Lead Engagement Southeast Asia of the Global Partnership for Education (GPE) visited Jakarta to observe the progress of the GPE-funded KREASI program.
Several meetings were held during February 2026, with various agendas including a meeting with Save the Children as the KREASI grant agent, a meeting with the seven local implementing partner organizations of KREASI, a meeting with the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) in Indonesia, as well as a meeting with the management of the Innovation for Indonesian Children (INOVASI) program.
The KREASI program reported its progress, including achievements during the first year of implementation. By the end of 2025, the intervention had reached 3,406 students, 1,944 teachers, and 528 school principals across four target provinces: Sumatera Utara, Lampung, Kalimantan Barat, and Maluku Utara. KREASI’s achievements are grounded in the principles of localization and ecosystem strengthening.
KREASI also presented the plan for the second year of implementation, which will begin in April this year, with several adjustments aimed at strengthening the program and delivering deeper impact.
GPE also highlighted several opportunities to expand the impact of education quality improvement programs such as KREASI.
