Badan Wakaf Indonesia (BWI) is Indonesia's independent national waqf board, established under Law Number 41 of 2004 concerning waqf. Its task is developing and overseeing the productive management of waqf assets, both land and cash waqf, across the country, a mandate created by the Indonesian government rather than by any single religious founder.
Waqf administration in Indonesia remains fragmented in practice: thousands of individual nazhir, or waqf managers, and local religious foundations hold and administer waqf assets directly, with BWI supervising them rather than owning the assets itself. That structure sets Indonesia apart from waqf systems organized under a single national body with direct custody of the property involved.
BWI maintains a public live registry of registered waqf land, filterable by year and region, an unusually granular disclosure for a national waqf regulator, and remains active today supervising that fragmented landscape from its position as the national board created by the 2004 law. It also periodically states figures for the country's wider waqf potential, distinct from what the registry itself has recorded, a distinction the organization draws in its own public statements rather than one imposed from outside.
