JOB VACANCY on the
AUSTRALIA INDONESIA PARTNERSHIP FOR JUSTICE
Activity Coordinator
Background
The Australia Indonesia Partnership for Justice (‘AIPJ’) is a five year program funded by DFAT 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:
• Legal
identity (birth, marriage and divorce certificates) as one precondition
to realising basic economic and social rights, such as education and
health care.
• The right to fair proceedings which are:
- independent and impartial
- fast, consistent, affordable, and accessible.
• The right to legal information.
In
working to realise these rights, AIPJ focuses on both national and
sub-national levels, where central decision-making is taken, and where
lessons from the field can inform this decision making. Support is
targeted at areas that Indonesia has identified as being of critical
importance to the sector, and for which assistance is likely to bring
about sustainable and meaningful impacts, namely:
• Judicial dispute resolution mechanisms
• Prosecutions Office
• Anti-corruption
• Legal aid.
See link for a full description of the AIPJ strategy.
