Rodiman, an active member of the GEDSI JET Working Group, is an inspiring figure from the Youtuber Lotim Community. This community uses YouTube as a platform to share messages, information, and as an alternative source of income. Today, the community has grown to 300 members connected through Facebook and WhatsApp groups. Members of the Youtuber Lotim Community have demonstrated success in leveraging the platform, with one member reaching around 700,000 subscribers through a channel that promotes honey from Lombok Island.
Rodiman has participated in various capacity strengthening activities organized by Yayasan Penabulu through the GEDSI JET Working Group. Following these experiences, he began actively sharing knowledge on energy transition and GEDSI with different audiences. One example is his role as a facilitator in the Digital Smart Ambassador Program organized by the Ministry of Villages, Development of Disadvantaged Regions, and Transmigration across 20 villages in East Lombok and 4 villages in Central Lombok. In this program, Rodiman delivered sessions on content creation, digital marketing, and graphic design. Alongside these topics, he also emphasized the importance of gender equality and the inclusion of persons with disabilities in all activities, including capacity building related to digital platforms.
Rodiman also introduced the potential of renewable energy to support economic activities. Communities showed strong interest in his presentations and were eager to learn more about how renewable energy could be applied. According to Rodiman, participants raised questions about how solar panels could be used to increase productivity in their farms.
Beyond sharing knowledge, Rodiman applies energy saving practices in his daily life. He recognizes that fossil energy still widely used can harm the environment, and he has gradually reduced unnecessary energy consumption in his household.
Rodiman is also active in promoting GEDSI JET through digital platforms. He initiated the Instagram account @gedsi_jetntb2024 to share updates and promote just energy transition efforts in NTB Province. He also voluntarily transformed his YouTube channel, which had 1,850 subscribers, into the official GEDSI JET NTB channel. Looking ahead, he plans to collaborate with individuals who have the capacity to develop a dedicated GEDSI JET NTB website.
Rodiman’s innovation and dedication in advancing GEDSI and just energy transition messages have created meaningful impact, both within his community and across wider society in West Nusa Tenggara.
