Zikri Aufarrahman

Manajer Riset

Project professional with experience supporting research, policy dialogue, and development-oriented initiatives in higher education and think tank environments. My work focuses on project coordination, stakeholder engagement, and knowledge-to-policy processes, particularly in the areas of climate governance, sustainable development, international affairs, and public policy.

At the Indonesian International Islamic University (UIII), I support the implementation of academic, research, and policy initiatives involving government institutions, international organisations, researchers, and development partners. My experience includes coordinating multi-stakeholder events, facilitating institutional partnerships, supporting policy-oriented research activities, and managing programme operations across diverse initiatives.

I am involved in the KOMITMEN Programme, which contributes to evidence-based policymaking on climate-responsive development and Indonesia’s transition toward net-zero emissions. I also support activities of the Indonesian Institute for Foreign Affairs (IIFA), a policy research and dialogue platform that promotes discussion on global affairs, development cooperation, climate policy, and Indonesia’s role in international governance.

My professional interests lie in climate policy, international development, and governance, particularly in understanding how research, policy dialogue, and stakeholder engagement can contribute to effective public policy and development outcomes.

Through my professional experience, I have developed strong capabilities in coordinating projects and policy-related initiatives, managing relationships with diverse stakeholders, and facilitating collaboration across institutions. My work frequently involves supporting research activities, organizing policy dialogues and knowledge-sharing events, and ensuring effective communication between academic, government, and development partners. Working in multidisciplinary and multicultural environments has also strengthened my ability to navigate complex stakeholder dynamics and contribute to collaborative efforts involving government agencies, universities, international organisations, and civil society actors.
