Music Sector Ecology in Indonesia

The British Council is seeking a research consultant to make recommendations on how to shape its Indonesia music programme, on to the next stage of its development. In scope of this tender, we will work with a successful candidate who can deliver an action research programme which will provide a detailed understanding of the Indonesian Music Ecosystem.

It will focus on Indonesian music sector in a targeted sample of urban areas – where the British Council is already active in creative hub development and wider partnership work. This includes a maximum of 3 places – e.g. Bandung, Bali (Denpasar) and Jakarta (and a focus on specific ‘music districts’ or hubs in each place).

This research will involve working with local research partner(s) to exchange good practice from the UK and internationally; to develop a methodology and typology for understanding the music ecosystem and identify the urgent needs and challenges in each cities.
