Background:
Kolaborasi untuk Edukasi Anak Indonesia (KREASI), or Collaboration for the Education of Indonesian Children, is a program designed to accelerate the improvement of literacy, numeracy, and character education for pre-school and primary school students in 8 districts across 4 provinces in Indonesia. The program is funded by the Global Partnership for Education (GPE) through the Multiplier Grant allocated for Indonesia.
KREASI, and its Grant Agent, Save the Children Australia and Save the Children Indonesia as the in-country representative, were appointed by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology (MoECRT) and the Ministry of Religious Affairs (MoRA), with the endorsement of Mitra Pendidikan Indonesia / Local Education Group (MPI/LEG), a consortium of 17 international and local education stakeholder organizations. The program is closely aligned with Indonesia’s national education goals, particularly the Merdeka Belajar initiative, which emphasizes essential and flexible learning processes tailored to the interests, talents, and needs of each student, focusing on holistic, relevant, and sustainable education.
Child Protection is a core pillar of KREASI’s holistic approach.

Through collaboration with School Protection Teams (TPPK), Satgas PPKS, and local ecosystems, the program operationalizes national safeguarding policies at the district and school levels to systematically prevent and respond to violence, abuse, and discrimination.
KREASI also engages families, communities, religious leaders, and community-based child protection groups to build safer home and community environments for children.
