Yayasan Common Ground Indonesia (YCGI) is a national peacebuilding organization in Indonesia, dedicated to advance social cohesion across faith, culture, and generational divides, using multipartiality as a foundation for conflict transformation.
At YCGI, we believe diversity should bring people together, not drive them apart. Since 2002, we have worked side by side with communities across Indonesia to prevent violence, promote tolerance, and prevent violent extremism.
We collaborate with government institutions, civil society, media, and local communities to turn differences into opportunities for dialogue and collaboration. Through education, arts and culture, creative media, and community-based initiatives, we help build safe and inclusive spaces where everyone belongs.
YCGI is a legacy organization of Search for Common Ground, a global peacebuilding organization founded in 1982 and now active in more than 35 countries. Our journey in Indonesia began in 2002, driven by the urgent need to reduce violence and foster harmony in one of the world’s most diverse nations.
From the start, we become part of Search Indonesia’s efforts to build peace and prevent violent conflict. Through collaborative projects, leadership training, and tech-driven programs, we promote tolerance and mutual understanding. Working hand in hand with civil society, interfaith groups, government institutions, and law enforcement officers, we help restore social trust and solidarity among communities of diverse ethnic and religious backgrounds.
YCGI is a national peacebuilding organization dedicated to advancing social cohesion across faith, culture, and generational divides. Building on more than two decades of peacebuilding experience in Indonesia, YCGI works to transform conflict into collaboration through multipartial and non-adversarial approaches, strengthening communities, institutions, and inclusive partnerships.
