Forum Kajian Pembangunan (FKP) was initiated in 2010 as a medium for researchers to share their findings with their peers and a wider audience, to inform policy-making, and to encourage good quality research. When it started, the FKP was a once monthly or bimonthly seminar series hosted by LPEM with the ANU Indonesia Project providing logistics support in the form of identifying and inviting speakers, and developing and managing a mailing list for sending out invitations. There were 22 meetings held in that year.

In 2011, the FKP grew in frequency, and other organisations started to offer to host the seminars. More than 40 presentations were given that year, and hosts included (in no particular order) BAPPENAS, Bank Indonesia, Indonesia Statistics (BPS), CSIS, SMERU Research Institute, The Land Registration Agency (BPN) and The World Bank. An FKP Organising Committee meeting was held for the first time to review and plan improvements in the implementation of the FKP. Audio podcasts began.

Video live streaming of the seminars commenced in 2015. In March 2020, as the COVID-19 pandemic curtailed physical activities, seminars started to be completely held online. In 2021, 63 seminars were held, hosted by 25 organisations (universities, think tanks, government agencies, NGOs and development projects).
