Indonesia is the fourth largest country in the world. With 17,500 islands, 242 million people, and 500 district governments, the country has a vast, complex government structure – and sometimes, children can fall through the cracks.  

In this episode, we learn more about these children from Santi Kusumaningrum, the Director of the Center on Child Protection and Wellbeing at Universitas Indonesia. For decades, Kusumaningrum has worked to address the needs of the undocumented children. This work is critical everywhere, but especially in Indonesia, where 14% of girls and boys are living without a birth certificate. Through her work, Kusumaningrum has discovered the way good data and evidence-based solutions can change this situation for Indonesia’s children – and on this podcast, you will learn more about how she is working to achieve just that.
