Indonesia
Program Representasi (ProRep)
Scope of Work - Grants Bookkeeper
Overview
The primary objective of ProRep is to increase the effectiveness of representative groups and institutions in Indonesia and, in doing so, bolster both democracy and good governance in Indonesia. The ProRep project will strengthen representation in three important areas:
- First, it will build the capacity of member- and constituency-based based civil society organizations (CSOs) so that they can better represent the interests of their members and constituents at the national and/or local level.
- Second, it will support independent analysis and public consideration of legislation and policies having a major impact on democratic governance.
- Third, it will work with Indonesia’s key representative bodies – primarily the House of Representatives (Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat or DPR), but possibly also the Regional Representative Council (Dewan Perwakilan Daerah or DPD) – to help them become more effective, responsive and transparent.
The principal project results will include: 1) membership-based CSOs will be better able to represent the interests of their members, 2) Indonesian universities, think tanks and CSOs will be better able to produce and disseminate policy-relevant research and analysis, and 3) the legislative process in the DPR will be more effective, responsive and transparent.
The project also will give USAID a mechanism to allow it to respond flexibly and rapidly to unanticipated needs and opportunities that USAID believes are important to protecting or advancing democratic governance in Indonesia. These results will contribute to the achievement of IR 2 of USAID’s 2009-2014 Democratic Governance (DG) strategy, which supports efforts at both the national and regional levels to make governance more representative, effective and responsive to citizen’s needs.
