4. Silverius Oscar “Onte” Unggul, Indonesia Social Entrepreneur
In 2003, Onte established the Forest Network. He was both concerned
with the high level of illegal logging as well as with the poverty among 30
million Indonesians living near rainforests.
Forest Network provides experts to help timber companies design
production plans, connects traditional production with the international
market, and facilitates certifications of the ‘SmartWood’ label.
Onte’s other solution is to set-up co-operatives in 12 villages in South
Sulawesi to manage and market community-organized timber production
around 300 acres of rain forest. The villages coordinated forest patrols against illegal logging and 10
seeds are planted for every tree cut down.
A year after this pilot project, each member of the cooperative was earning US$160 for every cubic meter
of timber sold in three months -four times their previous income. By the end of the year, the cooperative
was also able to pay dividends to each of its member. The business also had a significant impact on local
government revenue.
A former Boy Scout and athlete, Onte became involved in environmental causes while studying at the
university. He began to work with indigenous population, setting up Yascita with friends right after
graduation to promote natural resource- based businesses.
The local media ignored his report on illegal logging practices in South Sulawesi. Unfazed, he and his
friends set up The Voice of Nature community radio station in 1999. It broadcasts local environmental
issues and natural resources management. It remains one of the most popular stations in the province. In
2003, he set up TV Kendari –Indonesia’s sole local community-owned and run station, funded by a small
seed investment.
Onte is an Ashoka Fellow, co-winner of the Indonesian Ernst & Young’s Social Entrepreneur of the Year
2008, and a World Economic Forum Young Global Leader 2009 --one of only 5 Indonesian listed amongst
230 outstanding young leaders from 71 countries.

Tri Mumpuni, Indonesia Social Entrepreneur
For more than ten years, Mumpuni has dedicated her life to bringing
about change for rural communities. Her will to dedicate her life to
helping marginalized groups was nurtured since childhood. Her mother
always had the young Mumpuni accompany her when she went to
different villages to care for the sick. Their house was always used as
the center for a wide range of community activities, from literacy
programs to primary health care services.
Mumpuni spent some of her teenage years with the family of
Soepardjo Rustam, the former Minister of Internal Affairs. She was
very much influenced by the family. She said that it was from them that
she learned how to work directly with the poor people in rural areas.
After winning a scientific paper competition in 1982, she was offered to study in the Institute of Agriculture
Bogor by the former rector of the institute. Her wish was actually to become a doctor but she failed in the
selection process and decided upon studying agriculture instead. In her final year of university she was
given an opportunity by USAID to work with fish farmer families in North Sumatra on income generation.
She then went on to work for rural communities in an integrated rural women and the environment
program. After university, she joined UNDP and became the manager of a low-cost housing program for
the urban poor. All of these experiences helped her developed a clear understanding of how to create
community-based models.
It was her husband, an activist in the micro hydro power movement, who persuaded her to return to the
rural region and develp rural electrification. They both shared expertise in the technical, social and
economic aspects of the system. In 1996, Mumpuni was moved by a farmer who died of a heart attack
whent his micro hydro power business collapsed after the state power company entered his village and
6. offered subsidized rates as part of a political program. She realized that co-genertaion (the combined use
of hear and power) would be crucial to a sustainable rural electricity movement. For the next three years,
she lobbied tirelessly with three successive energy ministers to allow smal electricity producers to sell
back into the grid. She also focused her efforts on developing small hydro projects. When she finally won
her first concession on the co-generation campaign in 1999, she continued to support IBEKA and devoted
herself full-time to developing the micro hydro industry.
