HumasUPNVJ - The Institute for Research and Community Service of the National Development University "Veteran" Jakarta (LPPM UPNVJ ) is committed to aligning the Vision of the ASEAN Community 2045 and Indonesia Emas 2045, which prioritizes inclusive and sustainable community development. In addition, LPPM UPNVJ also contributes to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as a global framework for a better future.

In line with this, LPPM UPNVJ presents Dr. Trairong Swatdikun from Walailak University who will discuss best practices in community empowerment through Indonesian-Thai coffee collaboration.

Dr.Ir. Damianus Adar from Nusa Cendana University shared his experience regarding the international community service program related to stunting prevention in Timor-Leste. Dr. Ibnu Malkan Bakhrul Ilmi from UPNVJ explained the results of the UPNVJ International Field Work Program Collaboration.

Anter Venus in her speech when opening the event said that she believed that the insights and experiences shared by the speakers would inspire us to strengthen our contribution to community engagement at the ASEAN level.

Sri Lestari, Head of LPPM UPNVJ also explained that this activity was carried out because LPPM UPNVJ had always been active in developing PKM and KKN programs, "Since 2023, LPPM UPNVJ has developed PKM and KKN programs in an international scope with activity locations in ASEAN member countries, namely Malaysia and Timor Leste.

Strategies that can be implemented to increase the contribution of community service activities in achieving sustainable development include increasing collaboration between universities, government, private sector, and the community. Community service activities are certainly more effective if carried out collaboratively between various parties. In addition, the form of activity must be relevant to the needs of the community in order to provide real benefits. By increasing the contribution of community service activities, universities can play a more active role in realizing sustainable development. So we are working with Nusa Cendana University and Dili University," he said.

Participants of SENABDIMAS LPPM UPNVJ 2024 were lecturers, students, researchers and community service workers, as well as the general public from all over Indonesia.
