Yayasan Konservasi Alam Nusantara (YKAN)

Since 2015, YKAN has been supporting seaweed farmers in Rote Ndao to improve the livelihoods of coastal communities while promoting environmental conservation. As part of this initiative, YKAN established the local organization Pelita Kasih and set up the Kios Konservasi (Conservation Kiosk). An organizational assessment found that Pelita Kasih had limited capacity to manage the Kios Konservasi as a professional business. Following a business activation training, Pelita Kasih decided not to directly operate the Kios Konservasi, instead delegating its management to another party while positioning itself as a strategic partner. As a result, i-Hi Consulting was engaged to provide technical assistance in activating and professionally managing the Kios Konservasi.
