Yayasan IDEP is an Indonesian non-profit foundation that was formally established in Bali, Indonesia in 1999, at the height of Indonesia’s economic crisis. IDEP’s objective was to respond to urgent needs for sustainable food production and resource management, while conveying the importance of environmental education for sustainable living.
Between 1999-2000 Yayasan IDEP successfully conducted several Permaculture Training of Trainer Courses, with the assistance of the some of the world’s most acclaimed Permaculture Trainers. IDEP facilitated the certification of over 200 people from throughout Indonesia. As the result of these courses, various Permaculture related projects have been initiated nation-wide.
After 2000, Yayasan IDEP applied the knowledge gained from feedback of original pilots to develop its own community based sustainable development pilot programs. It began testing innovative approaches to raising environmental awareness through public awareness media campaigns and curriculum development, while disseminating practical solutions to environmental, social and economic problems within local communities.
