Peace Brigades International (PBI) is an international grassroots NGO
that has promoted nonviolence and protected human rights since 1981.
PBI uses its international presence and global networks to protect,
support and enable the work of human right defenders and local activists
for peaceful social change. For nearly 30 years, we have protected the
lives of hundreds of activists, proving that the combination of
accompaniment and international pressure deters violence and creates
space for local activists to work for peace and human rights. We are
nonpartisan and do not interfere in the affairs of those we accompany,
because we believe that a lasting peace cannot be imposed from outside
but must come from the desires of local people. PBI’s website (www.peacebrigades.org) contains more information.
Elsam (Lembaga Studi dan Advocacy Masyarakat, Institute for
Policy Research and Advocacy), is an Indonesian think tank based in
Jakarta that was established in 1993 by a number of human rights
activists and lawyers. ELSAM works within the broad objective of
supporting the development of a democratic political order through
strengthening civil society and human rights, and carries out a wide
range of activities related to human rights advocacy at both the policy
and community levels.
The PBI Indonesia Project (IP) is a joint imitative between Peace
Brigades International (PBI) and Elsam to provide a capacity building

participants). The Training and Protection Coordinator will be based in
Elsam’s office in Jakarta together with the Project Coordinator and will
