KNPI

The Indonesian National Youth Committee, or KNPI (Komite Nasional Pemuda Indonesia), is a non-governmental organization established in Indonesia on July 23, 1973. Its primary objective is to serve as a unifying platform for various youth organizations across the archipelago. KNPI aims to foster national unity, develop the character of Indonesian youth, and involve them in the nation's development process. It acts as a bridge between the government and youth organizations, facilitating communication and collaboration on issues concerning youth welfare and national progress.

The organization is structured at national, provincial, and district/city levels, with each level overseeing youth organizations within their respective jurisdictions. Membership in KNPI is indirect, meaning it comprises constituent youth organizations rather than individual members. These organizations represent a broad spectrum of interests, including religious, political, professional, and social groups. KNPI regularly organizes various programs and activities, such as leadership training, seminars, community service projects, and national dialogues, to empower youth and encourage their active participation in societal development. It has played a role in shaping youth policies and advocating for youth-related issues in Indonesia.
