About

I am Ishlah Fitriani, a dedicated social researcher, project manager, and advocacy professional with 4+ years of experience in evidence-based policy and inclusive development in Indonesia, and I am currently pursuing a Master’s in Humanitarian Action. I have a strong track record of producing influential work on development narratives, climate policy perception, inclusive social care, violence prevention in education, child protection, and juvenile justice reform, bridging research to action to drive real-world change.

I connect research to practice by designing mixed-method research protocols, coordinating multi-stakeholder dialogues, and translating findings into policy briefs, donor proposals, and strategic communications. I have led national-scale studies, collaborated with government and international donors, and co-authored papers and reports to inform policy and advocacy efforts, while actively engaging civil society and decision-makers to advance inclusive social outcomes.
