Profile of Iwan Sumule
Iwan studied at SMA 1 Sorong, West Papua. After graduating in 1990, he moved to Jakarta to take an undergraduate program at the Indonesian Christian University, Faculty of Civil Engineering. Iwan succeeded in obtaining an engineering degree in 1997.
While studying, Iwan was a student who actively participated in organizations. He was once elected as Acting Chair of the Indonesian Christian University Student Senate. Then, Iwan became one of the coordinators of the Indonesian Civil Engineering Communication Forum (FKMTSI) in region V.
During the leadership of President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY), Iwan was appointed as Special Staff Assistant at the Cabinet Secretariat for the 2019-2013 period.
During the 2024 elections, Iwan will try his luck as a legislative candidate for the DPR RI in the DKI Jakarta II electoral district for the 2024-2029 period.
Iwan had to fight closely with other legislative candidates and managed to bag 12,546 votes. However, the number of votes he had did not succeed in getting Iwan to serve as a member of the DPR RI because of the limited quota of seats.
Not only focusing on serving in government, Iwan is also active in various other important organizations, namely being Chair of the Assembly at the Pro-Democracy Activity Network, Chair of the Indonesia Law Enforcement Watch (ILEW), and Founder of the Jakarta Nusantara Legal Aid Institute (LBHN Jakarta).
In 2024, his experience in politics earned him the trust of President Prabowo to occupy a strategic position at the Poverty Alleviation Agency.
As Deputy II of the Poverty Alleviation Agency, Iwan Sumule has the tough task of helping run poverty alleviation programs in Indonesia.
It is hoped that he will be able to provide new innovations in overcoming poverty and create effective and targeted policies, especially in the areas of community economic empowerment, improving social welfareskilled work, and distribution of social assistance.
