The Advisory Group to the Harvard Kennedy School Indonesia Program provides strategic, academic and practical guidance about the goals of the Indonesia Program. The members of the Group together comprise a deep understanding of issues of governance, economy, education, and development as they relate not just to Indonesia itself but also to its relationship with its regional neighbors and more broadly to its future globally. The Advisory Group is made up of experts in policy and research as well as distinguished leaders from the Indonesian corporate and nonprofit community, and includes approximately 13 members: six chosen by the Director of the Ash Center and drawn from the Harvard faculty; five chosen by the Rajawali Foundation and drawn from the Indonesian academic, corporate, nonprofit, or government practitioner community; and two independent members.
