The Indonesian government currently holds a Presidency position of G-20 in 2022, and this has led many donors phasing out from the country, and even some of UN organizations taking out Indonesia as priority beneficiaries.  The current situation has disrupted the traditional funding landscape and pushed many NGOs to diversify and find alternative funding sources to sustain their impact.
