The RWI office in Jakarta manages bilateral cooperation in Indonesia and regional interventions in Asia. A main current task of the office is to coordinate the implementation of a new regional programme (2017-2021) which focuses on linkages between human rights and environment and climate change, and on human rights and gender equality in the framework of Agenda 2030. The programme will support research, intersectoral synergies, and access to justice in the above fields, approached from the perspectives of RWI's four thematic focus areas: human rights and economic globalisation, inclusive societies, people on the move, and fair and efficient justice.
The programme will be implemented from Jakarta in coordination with other RWI offices and programmes in the region and with a wide range of regional partners and networks, including relevant UN Agencies, CSOs, academic institutions, NHRIs, judicial institutions, and regional bodies such as the AICHR, with which RWI has consultative relationship since 2016.
RWI has been active in Asia since the 1990s and started its first regional programme in 2007. Regional cooperation in Asia has over the last ten years focused on strengthening capacities of NHRIs and academic institutions as actors of change for human rights implementation and promotion in the region. Since 2015 RWI coordinates its regional Asia strategies from Jakarta, starting with a baseline study on juvenile justice in ASEAN which was launched at the ASEAN Secretariat. RWI initiated activities in Indonesia in 1999 and established an office in Jakarta in 2005. Bilateral programmes have focused on supporting the national action plan on human rights with the Directorate General of Human Rights and the compliance with international human rights standards in the prison system of Indonesia in cooperation with the Directorate General of Corrections under the Ministry of Law and Human Rights. The Office currently runs a programme with UNICEF on the implementation of juvenile justice legislation in Indonesia.
