The Australia – Indonesia
Partnership for Justice (AIPJ) is a five year program funded by Australian Aid
with a current closing date of December 2015.
The strategic focus of AIPJ is on realizing the rights of all
Indonesians, in particular poor women, vulnerable children and people with
disabilities. 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; and
- The right to legal information.
AIPJ approaches realizing
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. It does so through seven operational programs:
legal identity, court reform, legal aid, legal information, and
anti-corruption, civil society strengthening and disability inclusion. These
programs operate at both the national level, where decisions are made, and the
sub-national level, where lessons from the field can inform national level
decision making.
