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.
