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 is now
accelerating implementation due to demand from subnational governments and
civil society partners. It has also
learnt from experience to date the significant challenges in program delivery
across multiple provinces and remote villages.
The Lead Adviser and Director PUSKAPA, who together provide technical
leadership of the program, are both based overseas. This has all placed
additional project management demand on AIPJ and we are looking to recruit for
a period of 6 months an experienced development manager. This will also ensure a smooth transition of
some functions of the program to KOMPAK, consistent with the AIPJ2 draft design
document and advice from DFAT.
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.
AIPJ is seeking a skilled professional to
join our team as Legal Identity Program
Transition Manager.

manager will have had experience in managing grants and delivering social and
economic development programs into remote communities through civil society

Manager will:
·
