Job Summary
The Australia Indonesia Partnership for Justice (‘AIPJ’) is a five year program (through to December 2015) funded by Australian AID.
The strategy of AIPJ is to focus on realising the rights of Indonesians, in particular poor women and people with disabilities. The program approaches realising rights by working in partnership with key government institutions (the supply side) as well as civil society and local communities (the demand side), and the intersection between the two.
Building on the successes of previous Australian law and justice programs, AIPJ focuses on the following rights:
In regard to work with the Prosecutions Office, AIPJ supports strategic initiatives in bureaucracy reform that are key to strengthening the Office, and that make the greatest contribution to better services. AIPJ will also focus on frontline service delivery directed in particular at poor women and people with disabilities, and at supporting initiatives of champions for reform at the local level.
Anti-corruption work will focus specifically on the Corruption Eradication Commission, supporting it to focus on its core mandate and to increase its independence. It will also work with civil society to address rent seeking and other behaviour that may prevent people from realising rights that are a core focus of AIPJ.
AIPJ will work to develop the capacity of civil society and disability organisations to support law and justice sector reform. This entails both organizational capacity strengthening, as well as technical support in areas related to realising rights, the priority areas identified above and areas that emerge as the partners’ core mandate. It is envisioned that the network of organizations supported through this component would become a “brain trust” for critical thinking and learning about Indonesia’s efforts to reform the justice sector, as well as for research, inquiry and learning that will support the development and testing of innovative new approaches to implementing reform going forward.
AIPJ’s approach to realising rights will be supported through partnerships and promoting policy dialogue between Indonesian and Australian law and justice institutions. This is in recognition of the growing Australian whole-of-government interest in building partnerships with counterparts in Indonesia, and the fact that some of the most successful activities under previous Australian assistance to the sector involved peer-to-peer linkages.
