SKALA's collaboration with Australia-Indonesia partnership programs such as INKLUSI, INOVASI and KIAT strengthens inclusive governance and basic services in Indonesia. Through this cross-sector collaboration, SKALA promotes gender and disability responsive policies, innovations in basic service financing, and the use of data for climate change resilient development planning.
