Jakarta, IO – Nuanu Social Fund (NSF), a dynamic entity committed to driving positive social and environmental change, proudly unveils an innovative mapping research initiative titled “Changemakers in and around Bali.” The launch event is a tribute to celebrate the social innovators and leaders who are actively shaping the future of Indonesia. Following a comprehensive six-month study by NSF, the event included a visually captivating map that highlights key areas of social innovation, a detailed magazine with reports and narratives, and an interactive website offering ongoing research updates and networking opportunities.
The NSF mapping research initiative aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the social and environmental landscape in and around Bali. Through visually representing individuals and organizations dedicated to positive change, the map seeks to uncover distinct qualities and patterns within these clusters of changemakers. By identifying connections among them, NSF hopes to comprehend the challenges and needs they face, as well as determine their various roles within the larger system. The launch event marks a significant milestone for NSF, focusing on disseminating research findings and fostering connections within the Changemakers network clusters. Additionally, the website serves as a potent networking and research tool, steering the network towards community impact and highlighting collaboration opportunities.
Sergey Solonin, the visionary Founder of Nuanu, articulates his perspective,”My vision for NSF is rooted in the belief that communities have the power to shape their own destiny and create a brighter future. And seeing the NSF team move forward to achieve this vision and reach this milestone fills me with pride. I eagerly anticipate their continued support for impactful projects.”
Reflecting on the journey, Denis Guseynov, Director of Nuanu Social Fund, articulates: “The journey of Nuanu Social Fund began with the curiosity to discover and connect individuals and organisations dedicated, like us, to Bali’s well-being and tackling global challenges. As architects of this journey, we have crafted a unique process to map the ‘Changemakers in and around Bali’, setting the stage for transformative initiatives and collaborations.”
The mapping methodology employs Snowball Sampling, facilitating community identification and exploration. The initiative benefits both NSF and the community, providing crucial data for collaboration and transformative change. It leads to strategic partnerships and targeted support, aiding in targeted collaborations and resource sharing. Aligned with NSF’s broader mission, which extends beyond the 17 UN SDGs, preserving Bali’s rich culture and tradition remains a key focus.
“I personally believe that Bali is one of the only places that has not lost its spiritual heritage. Seeing Nuanu Social Fund (NSF) prioritise “Preserving Culture and Tradition” as one of their key missions brings me immense joy. I eagerly anticipate the upcoming activities by NSF that will contribute to the fulfillment of this important goal,” Ida Bagus Agung Partha Adnyana, Chairman of Bali Tourism Board.
