Ready to Make a Greater Impact, Think Policy Selected for Prestigious Program

This news was conveyed by Afutami on his Instagram. In the post, the Think Policy team expressed their gratitude as well as their disbelief at this achievement.

The selection process for the 100x Impact Accelerator program began at the end of 2024 and lasted for almost a full year. The Think Policy team had to go through various strict stages starting from the application submission, a series of interviews, to the preparation of lengthy documents. 

"We are grateful to have finally passed, because this means the unique model we developed is not only understood as part of the industry but also recognized globally," said Afutami.

The 100x Impact Accelerator program from LSE aims to help social organizations from around the world to enhance their capacity and expand their impact systematically.

Program participants will receive intensive mentoring from academics, practitioners, and world-class mentors to strengthen their organization's social and sustainability strategies.

During one week at the LSE campus, the Think Policy team admitted to learning a lot from other social organization actors in Southeast Asia and other countries around the world. They delved into the importance of understanding the endgame of every social initiative and how to break through the imaginary ceilings that often limit the potential for change.

Think Policy emphasizes that participation in this program is not the end, but rather the beginning of a long journey to continue learning and growing. They are committed to becoming a more resilient organization in leading public policy change and strengthening the ecosystem of that sector in Indonesia.

"There are still many things we do not know; we often feel lost and afraid, but we choose to move forward because what we are fighting for is important," wrote Think Policy in closing their statement.
