In the 2024 elections, there are 107 million voters under the age of 40, making up 52% of the total voter pool in Indonesia. 70% of them are anxious about multiple issues, but only 8% self-identify as politically engaged. This is caused by the lack of credible and accessible political information, along with the missing link between issue-based political processes. Bijak Memilih addresses this by providing digestible and relevant information that they need to know to make informed choices.
Naina: Thanks for having me, Spiffy! Asia Pacific is home to around 4.3 billion people, making it the largest region in the world. With a place as big and diverse as Asia Pacific, we often face complicated challenges that seem too difficult to overcome. But at AVPN, we believe that when we work together, even small steps can lead to big changes. We have over 600 members who all want to make things better, like helping kids go to school or making sure people can see a doctor when they're sick.
