Social innovation tactics have emerged as one of the most relevant approaches to addressing various social and economic challenges in Indonesia. Given the country's complex social and economic diversity, this approach offers solutions that focus on creativity and community engagement to create significant change. This study aims to examine various social innovation tactics that have been implemented in Indonesia, evaluate their effectiveness, and provide recommendations for more effective development and implementation of social innovation in the future. This study employs a qualitative research approach with a literature review method. Data were collected from Google Scholar with publication dates ranging from 2018 to 2024. The findings indicate that social innovation has substantial potential to make a significant positive impact, as evidenced by various programs analyzed in the literature. Programs such as PKH, Ruangguru, Kiva Indonesia, and Sahabat Alam demonstrate how creative and community-based approaches can address multidimensional issues like poverty, educational inequality, and climate change. This approach also highlights the importance of collaboration between the government, private sector, and civil society in creating sustainable and effective solutions.
