Rise with Health Heroes and KOPAJA Bringing Young People’s Perspectives on Food Waste and Climate Change to an Equitable and Sustainable Space
Data from the DKI Jakarta Provincial Statistics Agency (2023) shows that organic waste, including food waste, contributed 49.87% of total waste accumulation in 2022. The Free Nutritious Meal Program (MBG), an initiative to expand access to healthy food for school-age children, indirectly opens up new potential for increasing food waste accumulation.
Kick Off the 2nd Year of KOPAJA
On the first day of the activity, the agenda began with remarks from RISE Foundation representatives and the reading and signing of the cooperation contract. The main session discussed reflections on the implementation of the Urban Futures 2024 programme, with discussions on obstacles, lessons learned, and improvements that need to be made in 2025. One of the major changes is the adjustment of the cooperation model with CAI organisations, where in the future, KOPAJA will no longer refer to one particular organisation in involving inclusivity. This change aims to open up wider collaboration opportunities with various other inclusion organisations.
