IPAMAMO is an organization of pupils and university students from the Moi ethnicity. It was established as a solidarity forum for those living away from home, with the aim of advocating for and strengthening the cultural identity of Moi students across campuses throughout Indonesia. As an organization, IPAMAMO seeks to enhance its leadership structure, improve transparency, and develop more effective communication systems.
A brief introduction about Moi ethnic. The Moi people are one of the largest ethnic groups in Southwest Papua. They are spread across Sorong City, Sorong Regency, South Sorong Regency, Raja Ampat Regency, and Tambrauw Regency. The Moi consist of nine sub-groups: Moi Kelin, Klabra, Karon, Lamas, Legin, Maya, Moraid, Salkma, and Segin. They are widely recognized as the guardians of the Egek tradition—a customary rule that preserves the balance of nature by ensuring that people take only what is necessary from the forest and sea. In addition, the Moi place strong emphasis on education, encouraging young people to study outside the region so they can return and contribute to the development of their homeland.

The discussion, held in collaboration with Stube HEMAT (Saturday,7/03/2026), aimed to strengthen a sense of togetherness, promote leadership rooted in local wisdom, and highlight how leadership can emerge from student solidarity grounded in cultural traditions. Patrick V. Sarwom, S.I.Kom, served as the resource person, accompanied by several IPAMAMO activists. The session began with a question about the importance of strong organizational management. Various perspectives were shared, emphasizing that management functions as a system that guides the direction, strategy, and operations of an institution. Without effective management, leadership risks losing its focus and struggles to build trust, since leadership is inseparable from strong management.
Key elements of effective organizational management include: 1) a clear organizational structure that defines roles and responsibilities, minimizes conflict, and increases efficiency; 2) a healthy organizational culture that emphasizes integrity, collaboration, and innovation; 3) data-driven decision-making processes that involve member participation, thereby strengthening leadership legitimacy. These objectives can be achieved through careful planning, relevant implementation, strong organization, and effective supervision.
During
the discussion, the speakers presented a short film entitled Batu. The
film highlighted the idea that organizational development inevitably encounters
challenges and obstacles, and participants were encouraged to make collective
efforts to overcome them. Organizational management is not only about
strengthening internal systems; it also builds an ecosystem that nurtures
quality leadership. Leaders emerging from organizations with strong management
are better equipped to navigate change, inspire their teams, and guide their
institutions toward long-term success. Best wishes to the young people of
IPAMAMO.***
