AIPJ2 Progress Report1 January to 30 June 2019

Executive Summary

The Australia Indonesia Partnership for Justice 2 (AIPJ2) commenced in April 2017, and is a five-year DFAT investment with a budget of AU$37 million.

This fourth six-monthly report, focusing on the period January to June 2019, provides information under five main headings:

1. Assessment of progress against AIPJ2 objectives2. Supporting activities3. Summary of implementation challenges4. Changes in political economy5. AIPJ2 forward strategy.

1. Assessment of progress

Pillar 1 – Transparency, accountability and anti - corruption

Progress continues to be made in enhancing the following policies and implementation plans: (i) National Action Plan on Human Rights; (ii) Restorative Justice Policy; (iii) National Strategy on Corruption Prevention; (iv) Ease of Doing Business, namely Small Claims Court and e-Court regulations; (v) Supreme Court Regulation on Women in Contact with the Law; (vi) National Strategy on Preventing Child Marriage; and (vii) Implementation and monitoring of the Disability Law.

Due to the national elections in April, some policy related development work progressed slowly.

Pillar 2 – Security and Transnational crime

AIPJ2 continues to support cooperation between Government of Australia (GoA) and Government of Indonesia (GoI) agencies on transnational crime and security strengthening initiatives. Support is provided by GoA agencies in the form of technical assistance, training, study visits and information exchange.There is an increased focus on integrating GoA sponsored Activities into GoI policy and planning priorities to help ensure investments are strategic and deliver sustainable institutional benefits.

Pillar 3 – Preventing violent extremism (PVE)

The AIPJ2 strategy includes activities that: (i) Identify through targeted research areas and groups at risk of violent extremism and examine the effectiveness of current approaches to prevention; (ii) support disengagement of those involved in violent extremism; (iii) educate school students in vulnerable areas on the negative impacts of violent extremism to counter extremist influence; and (iv) promote community-led alternative narratives around cultural advocacy and social cohesion in targeted areas at sub-national level. Support for the Working Group of Women and countering violent extremism strengthens gender analysis and mainstreaming within PVE policy making and implementation planning. AIPJ2 is also supporting development of the National Action Plan on Combatting Violent Extremism, Government regulations to support implementation of the Counter-Terrorism Law, guidelines for assessing and managing returnees from conflict zones in the Middle East, and strengthening GoI capacities to coordinate PVE initiatives and enhance information sharing.

The respective roles of BAPPENAS and National Counter-Terrorism Agency (BNPT) in setting priorities for AIPJ2’s support and coordinating work with other donors have recently been clarified, but there will be a need to work closely together with both partners.

AIPJ2 Progress Report1 January to 30 June 2019

Pillar 4 – Corrections reform

AIPJ2’s focus is on: (i) Revisions to the Corrections Law, (ii) the Corrections Revitalisation Blueprint; and (iii) Guidelines on the management of high risk inmates. AIPJ2 is also supporting a study on drug use amongst inmates to develop alternatives to imprisonment for drug users, as well as a study on people with disability in prisons, and some sub-national work on restorative justice.

2. Supporting activities

AIPJ2 continues to emphasise the importance of its partnership approach, which includes providing support for partner capacity development. The quarterly reflections with civil society organisations (CSO) implementing partners has been a key element of this approach. We have also supported: (i) CSO partner capacity to develop and use strategic communication products; (ii) communities of practice and the sharing of knowledge (through Knowledge Hub (K-Hub) development); (iii) development of CSO Activity statements; and (iv) provision of training and advice on monitoring, evaluation and learning.

AIPJ2 also continues to reflect on and strengthen the performance of the core AIPJ2 team. During the reporting period AIPJ2 has undertaken staff performance assessments; conducted a team building retreat; updated the Operations Manual and and the Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL) Framework; identified staff training opportunities; and continued to develop the MIS.

By the end of Financial Year 18/19 on 30 June 2019, AIPJ2 had fully expended the allocated budget to within just 0.003% variance. The total expenditure is A$9,426,186.

3. Summary of implementation challenges

Monthly “dashboard meetings” continue to ensure implementation challenges are managed adaptively in close consultation with DFAT, BAPPENAS and our other partners.

There has been progress on the three primary implementation challenges:

i. Sustainability - building independence: CSO partners have improved their organisational management and are attracting other funding, allowing AIPJ2 to move into a convening, consulting and capacity building role. Partners are now better at identifying activities that fit their comparative advantage and combining with partners who complement their skills, rather than trying blanket approaches to problems themselves. The next challenge is to build confidence and capacity of new staff recently recruited into BAPPENAS, BNPT, Minsitry of Law and Human Rights and the National Human Rights Commission to work with civil society partners. AIPJ2 is utilising the K-Hub, field visits and special events to bring GoI and CSOs together in working groups and for learning and information exchange.

ii. Communication and co-ordination with GoI: Recent changes in BAPPENAS have clarified director responsibilities for AIPJ2 governance, establishing more direct and regular communication, particularly in relation to Pillar 2 and 3. It is a BAPPENAS preference that the governance arrangements for Pillar 2 be consistent with other pillars, so that they comply with development assistance regulations. GoA partners have also requested support from AIPJ2 to help them understand the national planning and budgeting process and help strengthen communication of their counterparts with BAPPENAS, so funding for ongoing priorities can be provided through the state budget rather than AIPJ2.

iii. Implementation of the Knowledge Hub (K Hub): The K-Hub is in the final stages of development. Four knowledge sharing communities have been established: judicial reform, anti-corruption, PVE (all CSO led but including GoI partners) and Law and Security (GoI/GoA led). These communities continue to be active in generating content and fine tuning final design features. The Law and Security community has been the least active because GoI members were fully occupied with the national elections, but there is already Joint GoI/GoA Ministerial commitment, design work has continued and content has been provided. The aim is to launch the Law and Justice community’s hub in November or December at the Joint

Ministers Meeting (date to be confirmed). The Working Group of Women and countering violent extremism has chosen to channel their work more specifically on women and CVE at the international level through a new site www.womenandcve.org.

4. Changes in political economy

National elections. The incumbent President Joko Widodo was returned and appears to be forming a formidable coalition in the legislature, including some parties from the opposition. The divisive campaign, which saw both sides competing over Islamic and nationalist identities, seems to be giving way to reconciliation at the elite level, which should enable the returning Widodo administration to continue pursuing its national development program, with a strong emphasis on infrastructure and human resources development.

The campaign period highlighted some new challenges for partners in the form of intensified hoaxes and fake news, which could yet be turned against some of our partners working in sensitive areas on social cohesion and progressive policies, being pursued through the justice for women and girls and restorative justice strategies.

Counter-terrorism. Last year's counter-terrorism law has enabled authorities to expand the reach and scope of arrests. Police have used the law to disrupt suspected planning of terrorist violence.The law has also contributed to a broader range of offences being framed as 'terrorism', which could erode trust in counter-terrorism authorities if used inappropriately. Some scepticism has already emerged during the recent campaign period and its aftermath, where authorities appeared to place some opposition groups in the same category as terrorists, muddying the waters between violent extremism, non-violent anti-state activities, vigilantism and legitimate democratic protests.

Constitutional Court decision on child marriage Over the last six months, the Government has committed to implementing the Constitutional Court decision calling for a uniform minimum age for marriage and requested AIPJ2 to support the National Strategy to Prevent Child Marriage.

5. AIPJ2 forward strategy

AIPJ2 has continued an adaptive approach to strategy and overall management. Quarterly reflections with partners have now been organised by strategies, so different partners come together in their reflection and learning process. This shift to a more strategic level has led us to review the regularity of reflection sessions, with a consensus reached to move to six monthly intervals from now on. This will also help align reflections with reporting. November-December reflections will inform the end of year report (submitted at the end of January) and support DFAT’s Quality at Implementation Assessments. May-June reflections will feed into the mid-year report (submitted at the end of July), which in turn will inform the annual work plan process.

The Justice for Women and Girls strategy was updated to reflect discussions with the Aceh Government and includes a draft workplan for Aceh, with expected completion late July. Work nationally and subnationally on child marriage is now being integrated into the GoI National Strategy to Prevent Child Marriage, co-ordinated by BAPPENAS. Within DFAT, AIPJ2 and MAMPU are working collaboratively but there are still occasions when competing events are scheduled by GoI and civil society partners supported by DFAT. AIPJ2 has made recommendations for more integrated governance within DFAT for preventing child marriage (and other issues which cut across programs), to avoid competing initiatives.

Preventing Violent Extremism (PVE) strategies were examined in an internal PVE review conducted by the Senior MEL adviser in March and April. Updates on each strategy were also provided to partners, BAPPENAS, DFAT and the Mid-Term review team. Recommendations from the review will be discussed with partners at a workshop in July.

There is increasing synergy between corrections reform and restorative justice strategies to address prison overcrowding and redesign the justice system in a form more compatible with

contemporary Indonesian society. CSO partners engaged through The Asia Foundation are now engaging more directly with the AIPJ2 team and other partners. This raises questions about the ongoing efficiency of having separate approaches for Pillar 1 and 4.

The anti-corruption strategy remains valid, linked to the National Anti Corruption Strategy, but engagement with the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) is tentative until the new Commissioners are selected and start work in December 2019. The AIPJ2 team is also exploring opportunities with the Australian Border Force to prioritise corruption prevention among immigration border officers.

1 Assessment of progress against AIPJ2 objectives

The Australia Indonesia Partnership for Justice 2 (AIPJ2) supports work under five pillars:

1. Transparency, accountability and anti-corruption2. Security and transnational crime 3. Preventing violent extremism4. Correction system reform5. Partnership Development1

to contribute to the end of facility outcome of “improved Government of Indonesia (GoI) policies and implementation plans” (relevant to reform priorities under each of these pillars). AIPJ2 contributes to GoI reform priorites by supporting the following intermediate outcomes.

> Knowledge: GoI and civil society organisation (CSO) partners have enhanced knowledge of problems and how to solve them based on evidence.

> Partnerships: GoI and CSO partners are working effectively together (partnerships, networks and coalitions) to develop improved policy and support its implementation.

> Institutional capacity development: GoI and CSO partners have enhanced institutional capacity (systems and skills) to support policy development and implementation.

> Gender Equality, Disability and Social Inclusion (GEDSI): GoI and CSO partners have enhanced understanding of how to promote and protect the rights of women and people with disabilities.

The following sections provide a description of AIPJ2’s contribution to new or improved policy development and implementation plans through supporting enhanced knowledge, partnerships, institutional capacities and understanding of GEDSI. Annex 1 provides a list of all AIPJ2’s implementing partners, and summary details of their scope of work and budget allocations. AIPJ2’s contribution to DFAT’s Performance Assessment Framework objectives is shown in Annex 2, and the link between AIPJ2 and GoI’s RPJMN development objectives is shown in Annex 3.

1.1 Pillar 1 – Judicial reform and anti-corruptionEnd of Facility Outcome: GoI policies and plans that support judicial reform and anti-corruption are informed by evidence of sub-national practice, the rights of women and people with disability (PWD), inputs from CSOs, and internationaI good practice.

AIPJ2 is supporting seven main areas of work under this Pillar, namely:

> National Action Plan on Human Rights> Restorative Justice Policy> National Strategy on Corruption Prevention> Supreme Court Regulations on the Ease of Doing Business – E-courts and small claims process> Supreme Court Regulation on Women in Contact with the Law> National Strategy on Preventing Child Marriage> Disability Law implementation and monitoring framework – seven draft Presidential Regulations, to be

followed by internal regulations or instructions, and implementation plans for Courts, Police, Prosecutions and Corrections

1 As GEDSI has been mainstreamed into other pillars, pillar 5 has been referred to as Partnership Development to incorporate specific GEDSI activities, MEL, knowledge hub and communications

activities.

AIPJ2 Progress Report1 January to 30 June 2019

National Action Plan on Human Rights

Description and current status

GoI is in the process of preparing the National Action Plan on Human Rights for 2020 – 2024 (RANHAM 2020-24) and the Presidential Regulation which is required to give the plan formal approval. This work is led by the Ministry of Law and Human Rights. The RANHAM will specify the priority actions that GoI plans to take over the next five years to promote and protect human rights, targets to be achieved, monitoring and reporting requirements, and support mechanisms. The draft National Action Plan and Regulation need to be completed before the end of 2019.

AIPJ2 support strategy

AIPJ2 provides support to the Ministry of Law and Human Rights through technical expertise (AIPJ2 Adviser), and facilitating the participation of, and inputs from, a broad range of CSO and Disabled Peoples’ Organisation (DPO) partners. Particular focus is being given to ensuring that the substance of the National Action Plan is sound and based on evidence, and that the Presidential Regulation incorporates clear and effective monitoring, evaluation and reporting mechanisms. The RANHAM o defines four priority groups – women, children, people living with disabilities and people in traditional communities. AIPJ2 will advocate that GoI consolidates of human rights policy intiatives under the RANHAM policy umbrella and encourages greater co-operation between GoI partners, including justice institutions, Human Rights Commission (KOMNAS HAM ), Commission for Women (KOMNAS Perempuan) and Commission for Children (KOMNAS Anak ). The fragmentation of human rights authorities has prevented GoI from articulating and implementing a clear vision for human rights, but the RANHAM offers this opportunity if it is allowed to move from an instrument of process (focusing on reporting) to an instrument of substance (focusing on change). AIPJ2 is in a unique position of having all relevant GoI human rights partners represented on our Partnership Board. All are requesting assistance from AIPJ2 in convening, consulting and capacity building, but there are significant challenges to overcome (see below).

Activities during the reporting period

Participated in meetings conducted by the Joint Secretariat to provide expert advice and information.Contributed technical advice into the Baseline Study for RANHAM 2020 - 2024. The baseline gives particular focus to the human rights situation of 4 target groups, namely women, children, people living with a disability, and indigenous communities (masyarakat adat).Drafted Matrix of priority actions, indicators and monitoring and reporting requirements (as a key part of the Action Plan).Contributed technical advice and facilitated partner input to draft the Presidential Regulation.Facilitated the input of CSOs and DPOs in the RANHAM 2020-2024 discussions.

Challenges encountered and implications

The main challenge relates to low levels of stakeholder participation in the drafting process. There has been poor attendance at meetings of the Joint Secretariat and limited opportunities for all Government partners to share and discuss their ideas. CSO and DPO partners have not participated as actively as they might because of other priorities, which AIPJ2 is also supporting. The AIPJ2 Adviser has indicated that the Minsitry of Law and Human Rights team working on the RANHAM has requested the AIPJ2 Team Leader to become more directly involved in order to engage all key partners and stakeholders in the process and explain how various reform initiatives can be consolidated under the RANHAM umbrella.

Restorative Justice Policy

Description and current status

In 2018 the Directorate of Law and Regulation in BAPPENAS initiated the development of a policy paper with the theme "Development of the Principles of Restorative Justice consistent with Indonesia criminal justice reform". It is expected that Restorative Justice (RJ) can be part of the solution to the problem of overcrowding in prisons, as well as creating a more compatible, humane and efficient criminal justice system for Indonesian society.The draft policy paper raised a number of questions for further investigation, including: How significant are the potential benefits of restorative justice implementation Indonesia? What are

the constraints, obstacles and limitations in implementing restorative justice? What steps are needed to overcome identified obstacles in implementing restorative justice in the

Indonesian Criminal Justice system? What strategies should be developed to realize restorative justice in the criminal justice system, in

line with GOI justice reform goals?A further study was initiated by the Directorate of Law and Regulation in 2019 to address the above issues. The findings from the study will be used as input to the RPJMN 2020 – 2024 and RKP 2020, which will be finalized by the President hopefully in October 2019.

AIPJ2 support strategy AIPJ2 provides technical support to BAPPENAS through a CSO justice reform coalition (ICJR, MaPPI, LeIP, Centre for Detention Studies (CDS)) as well as through both local and international experts, including from the Australian National University. The focus is on supporting research, data analysis, stakeholders consultations, drafting of policy papers, partnership development and advocacy. In terms of budget, the support comes from both BAPPENAS allocation from the state budget and AIPJ2.

Activities during the reporting period

Collaboration between BAPPENAS, the CSO justice reform coalition and AIPJ2 has involved: Desktop analysis / literature studies that helped mapping of RJ implementation opportunities in the

Indonesia justice system; Focus Group Discussions and other consultations with various stakeholders to solicit information and

2

AIPJ2 Progress Report1 January to 30 June 2019

ideas, develop data collection tools, identify constraints and opportunities, prepare plans, and reflect on progress

Field study to collect to identify good examples of RJ implementation in several regions Providing written inputs to the policy paper, and for inclusion in the RPJMN 2020 - 2024 and RKP

2020 RJ socialisation through seminars and a talk show with local and international speakers.

Challenges encountered and implications

RJ represents a fundamental change in approach to reforming the criminal justice system in Indonesia. Success will depend on strong political support to encourage the coordination of relevant government agencies, especially law enforcement agencies. The role of BAPPENAS in facilitating this coordination and cooperation is very important.At the technical level there are three main challenges in implementing RJ: community expectation that law enforcement officers will imprison criminals lack of understanding within society about RJ laws that have not fully supported the implementation of RJ (the Indonesian criminal law has not been

revised since it was introduced by the Dutch colonial administration in 1910)Responding to these challenges, the working group has formulated the following work steps: conduct in-depth consultations and discussions with law enforcers develop educational programs for the community about RJ compile a set of rules and technical guidelines for law enforcement officials related to the

implementation of RJ demonstrate existing RJ practices in the community to motivate law enforcement officers to

implement RJ.

National Strategy for Preventing Corruption

Description and current status

In October 2018, a joint decree “Corruption Prevention Action 2019-2020” was signed between the Leadership of Corruption Eradication Commission, Head of The National Development Planning Agency, Minister of Internal Affairs, Minister of State Apparatus and Bureaucratic Reform, and Chief of the Presidential Office. This joint decree is a technical policy which derived from the National Strategy for Preventing Corruption. The National Strategy has been ratified as a Presidential Regulation of the Republic of Indonesia (Number 54/2018). Under the Presidential Regulation, civil society is mandated to monitor implementation of the Strategy and related action plans.

AIPJ2 support strategy AIPJ2 supports the National Strategy Team, which is responsible for monitoring implementation of the strategy and corruption prevention actions. AIPJ2 provides its support through funding for Transparency International Indonesia (TII), which in turn coordinates the work of Indonesian CSOs at both the national level and in four selected regions. AIPJ2’s strategy is therefore to support CSO engagement in GOI’s efforts to effectively monitor, evaluate and learn from experience in implementing the strategy, and improve the quality of implementation plans.

Activities during the reporting period

TII conducted a series of activities which included: desktop analysis, using data and information from previous corruption prevention actions, to develop a

preliminary draft of the monitoring and evaluation tools discussions with the National Strategy Team to get their input into further development of the

monitoring and evaluation tools consultations with CSOs and related institutions both at the national and regional levels to get their

input into developing the monitoring and evaluation tools. This also involved developing a network of monitors

socialisation of the National Strategy and corruption prevention actions 2019-2020 in collaboration with regional governments (including through radio talk shows and seminars). In the first six months of implementation, the focus has been on the licensing and trade system; state finance; law enforcement and bureaucratic reform.

Challenges encountered and implications

Several challenges and implications have been identfified and will be considered in developing the 2020 AIPJ2 work plan: There are still many CSOs, government agencies and the public in general who do not know about the

National Strategy or the corruption prevention actions. A GoI-funded campaign is required to raise awareness of the Corruption Prevention Strategy and the corruption prevention actions 2019-2020

The National Strategy Team needs to encourage and build stakeholder networks which can jointly conduct monitoring and evaluation activities, particularly with respect to licensing and trade systems, and state finances (which are outside AIPJ2’s scope)

The capacity of CSOs needs to be developed to conduct effective monitoring and evaluation and provide input to the National Strategy Team.

Law enforcement institutions are trying to build public confidence by engaging more actively with stakeholder groups and adopting systems for greater transparency like e-courts, but there continues to be active corruption. The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has been criticised by politicians

and two Commissioners and investigator, Novel Baswedan, have been physically attacked at or near their homes., Investigators of these incidents have confirmed links to, but refrained from naming, elite interests, who were subject to KPK investigations of high level corruption.

Supreme Court Regulations on Ease of Doing Business – small claims and e-courts2

The Supreme Court (SC) of Indonesia is improving the operations of the Small Claim Court and electronically automated or e-Courts, both of which will improve Indonesia’s ratings in the ease of doing business survey.

Description and current status

Supreme Court Regulation Number 2 of 2015 on Procedures for Settling Small Claims (Perma Gugatan Sederhana) has received a positive response from the public. The number of claims filed through the new simplified procedures has grown exponentially. In 2015 there were only 13 cases submitted; in 2016 the number of cases increased to 762 and by the end of 2018, 33,337 cases had been submitted. Based on monitoring and research conducted in 2018 by the Supreme Court and the Centre for Law and Policy Studies (PSHK), a number of concerns with small claims court implementation were nevertheless identified, including with respect to jurisdiction and access by small and medium enterprises. As a result, the Supreme Court Ease of Doing Business Working Group started discussions in mid 2018 on amending the regulation for a simpler process for small claims. A new draft regulation was subsequently prepared in February 2019, incorporating the following main amendments: case value limits increased from 200 million rupiah (approx. AU$20,000) to 500 million rupiah (approx.

AU$50,000) the Legal / Domicile Boundaries of Parties are no longer restricted to being within the same court

jurisdiction asset seizure can be requested by the plaintiff to compensate for the claim, and a more stringent period

of time has been defined to issue a warning and implement the siezure the definition of legal counsel has been expanded to include the Corporate Law Bureau Trial scheduling procedures have been clarified Provisions on case fees have been included e-court procedures have been included.As of June 2019 the new draft regulation has not yet been reviewed or approved by the Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court Regulation number 3 of 2018 on e-courts (Perma e-Court) was issued on 13 July 2018. It regulates the administration of cases using the electronic filing system. It has three main features, namely e-filing, e-summons and e-payment. The e-Court is designed to streamline the filing, management and delivery of court documents, such as the statement of claim, reply, counter plea, rejoinder and conclusion, via electronic methods. The purpose of the Perma e-court is to facilitate simple, fast and low-cost proceedings.As of June 2019, the Supreme Court has established e-Courts in 17 District Courts and nine Religious Courts, and six administrative Courts (based on SC Secretary Decree Number: 305/SEK/SK/VII/2018). Many other courts have also started to trial the e-court system on their own. Based on monitoring data, almost all courts across Indonesia have now successfully implemented e-Filing, e-Summons and e-Payment. The Supreme Court now wants to enhance the e-Court application with an e-Litigation feature, which will allow the court to conduct the trial electronically.

AIPJ2 support strategy AIPJ2’s support strategy involves the partnership with PSHK and provision of direct technical input and assistance through the ease of doing business consultant, e-Court implementation researcher, and information technology procurement consultant. AIPJ2 also supports cooperation between the Supreme Court of Indonesia and the Australian Federal Court, which operates at the Chief Justice and Chief Executive Office/Chief Registrar level. To date, AIPJ2 has contributed through: Conducting the research to identify and address problems in the Small Claims Court Advocating the research findings to the Supreme Court Ease of Doing Business Working Group Drafting the revision of the Small Claims Court Regulation (Perma Gugatan Sederhana) Drafting the revision of the e-Court Regulation Drafting the SC’s e-litigation regulation Facilitating the co-operation of Federal Court of Australia, including creating opportunity for open

exchange between the courts themselves and with the Australian Embassy.

Activities during the reporting period

Meetings were conducted with the Supreme Court’s Ease of Doing Business working group to discuss the revision of regulation on simpler process for small claims and prepare for the public consultation. The ease of doing business (EODB) consultant and e-court implementation researcher engaged by AIPJ2 drafted two options for the e-litigation process, that allowed the SC to choose and modify based on their needs and interest. This team assisted the SC in conducting public meetings in Central Jakarta and Surabaya District Court regarding the Ease of Doing Business survey and enforcing contract indicators.The IT procurement consultant engaged by AIPJ2 has worked with the SC’s planning bureau to prepare the IT procurement guidelines and standards for courts to procure the hardware needed to support e-Court

implementation. The EODB consultant and the AIPJ2 team facilitated a visit of Chief Justice Allsop and Chief Executive Officer Soden during 16-19 July, which included a talk show event at BAPPENAS on the role of the courts in economic growth. AIPJ2’s role in convening this, and securing the participation of Chief Justice Allsop and Justice Syamsul Maarif, Acting Head of the Civil Chamber of the Supreme Court, allowed judicial and executive branch leaders speak openly about the challenges in improving the EODB to media, government, civil society, business associations and members of the legal profession. This included a frank discussion about corruption in commercial cases, which is a significant contributor to the high cost of claims and a major determinant of Indonesia’s very low score in the EODB survey under the enforcement of contracts criterion.

Challenges encountered and implications

The next step in approval of the Small Claims Court and e-court regulations is to bring the drafts to the SC leaders meeting. The meeting will decide whether the drafts are ready to promulgate, or if some revisions are needed. The person who has the authority to call this meeting is the Head of Civil Chamber. However, he retired in March 2019, and policy decisions such as this usually have to wait until a replacement is selected. PSHK and AIPJ2 have nevertheless continued to advocate for progress to be made. The next SC’s leadership meeting is planned for August 2019.

Supreme Court Regulation 3/2017 on Women in Contact with the Law

Description and current status

Supreme Court Regulation 3/2017 was promulgated in July 2017. This PERMA helps judges identify situations of unequal treatment resulting in discrimination against women, and guarantees women's right to equitable access to justice. The PERMA includes guidance on the expected behaviours of judges in dealing with women facing the court, especially in sensitive cases such as sexual assault. It recognises the importance of allowing guardians or friends to assist victims in the trial process, the use of audio visual communication facilities in the trial to protect victims from facing their accused, and fairness in the application of restorative justice principles where the law ideally serves to repair the harm caused by criminal behaviour through compensation, while protecting the victim and community from future attacks through imprisonment or agreed community measures.Since its promulgation, operational guidelines for judges have been prepared, training curriculum developed and training programs have commenced. Opportunities to adopt consistent provisons with the SC regulation (protecting the legal rights of women) to other law enforcement agencies, in particular police and prosecutors, are now also being explored. AIPJ2 has not engaged with the Prosecution Service since 2015, but is now having initial meetings to determine the most effective mechanism of re-engaging.

AIPJ2 support strategy AIPJ2 provides support to the Supreme Court and the Religious Court Directorate General, through its partnerships and collaboration with the Family Court of Australia, international and Indonesian advisers, CSO partners such as MaPPI and PEKKA and the National Islamic Universities. Support is provided for: Research and data analysis, including to support advocacy and evidence based decision making Partnership development, networking and information sharing among key Indonesian stakeholders Facilitating cooperation between the Indonesian Courts and the Family Court of Australia in sharing

knowledge and experience in fulfilling the rights of women and girls to access to justice in the courts Linking legal focused CSOs with DPOs to help ensure that the interests and legal rights of people

with disabilities are promoted and protected Expanding AIPJ2’s collaboration with Mahkamah Syariah, the Aceh Government, and Aceh’s local

CSOs.

Activities during the reporting period

The following are some highlights of activities between January and June 2019: Conducted the “people read” and “machine read”3 decision analysis for marriage dispensation and

divorce cases Developed the decision analysis questionnaire for sexual violence cases decision analysis with

Komnas Perempuan, CSOs and Universities. Key findings for marriage dispensation and divorce decision analysis were presented to the Supreme

Court leaders, CSOs and district courts in Jakarta, Makassar and Aceh. Recommendations to address the findings were then developed.

Developed a handbook for judges for handling cases involving women and girls living with a disability. Worked with SC’s Women and Children’s Working Group, along with CSO Partners, to develop a

draft regulation on Marriage Dispensation for consideration by the Supreme Court leadership. Working with the Religious Courts to prioritise disability in its budget planning for courts to provide

specialised, targeted and low-cost services to people living with a disability. Conducted a series of meetings with the Aceh Government, Mahkamah Syariyah and Aceh’s local

CSOs to discuss and develop the AIPJ2 women and girls justice strategy in Aceh. Justice Ryan of the Family Court of Australia, adviser Cate Sumner and AIPJ2 team members also travelled to Aceh to conduct a judicial training workshop with the Mahkamah Syariah in Aceh on family law and the

3 “Machine read” is a term used to describe the automated searching of a database, in this case the Supreme Court decision database, using key words and patterns of expression identified in

preliminary “people read” case research. It could be categorized as a form of artificial intelligence, in that it allows the scanning of a large number of decisions, in real time if necessary, but ultimately it relies on the search criteria determined by “human” researchers. Because of the speed, it allows for increased judicial accountability in terms of monitoring consistency of decisions, both on reasoning and sentencing.

effective enforcement of maintenance orders.

Challenges encountered and implications

Although the SC leadership have given their full support to the protection of women in contact with the law, this is not yet internalised among all individual judges. New procedures and knowledge are not enough. Changes are also required in attitudes and practices. Supporting these changes will require sustained and focused effort. Role model judges (champions of good practice) will need to be identified and supported. More case studies that help explain womens’ perspectives and experience need to be developed, and effective communication strategies supported. Stronger collaboration and networking between the court, CSOs and universities could also help the judges to be more aware and sensitive on these issues.

National Strategy on Preventing Child Marriage

Description and current status

One in nine girls in Indonesia marry before they have reached 18 years old,4 making Indonesia one of the top 10 countries in the world in terms of highest numbers of child brides, with as many as 375 girls marrying per day.5 Child marriage is a violation of child rights and has long-term impacts on the health and education of Indonesians and therefore on their future income and contribution to society.GoI has expressed its commitment to end child marriage, including through the development of a National Strategy (STRANAS). Development of the STRANAS on Child Marriage Prevention is led by BAPPENAS. Other government ministries are also involved in the effort to prevent child marriage, including the Ministry of Women Empowerment and Child Protection (KPPPA), the National Board on Family Planning in cooperation with the Marriage Advisory Agency, and the Ministry of Religious Affairs. At the sub-national level, various initiatives are also being undertaken by governments and CSOs, through development cooperation. The primary purpose of the STRANAS is to support implementation of a more strategic, coherent, coordinated and effective national program of action to prevent child marriage. While the idea to develop a STRANAS on Preventing Child Marriage has been discussed for some years, little practical action was taken until early 2019. As of June 2019, the STRANAS remains in the early stages of development however, previous impediments to action now seem to have been largely resolved. BAPPENAS has now set ambitious milestones: first, to incorporate the STRANAS into the RPJMN 2020-2024 by October 2019, and second, to formalise it into a 2020 Presidential Decree. BAPPENAS expects AIPJ2 to support the achievement of these milestones.

AIPJ2 support strategy AIPJ2’s support strategy involves: Advocacy for national and local action on child marriage through harnessing and linking up existing

coalitions Provision of strategic advice and technical assistance directly to BAPPENAS – in particular to support

legal and regulatory analysis and inputs to the development of the STRANAS Facilitating partnerships and networking between BAPPENAS and other Indonesian agencies (e.g.

linking in the Supreme Court and the major religious based organisations), CSOs, UN agencies and other donor programs

Linking subnational partners to national agencies, in order to help make sure policy making is informed by sub-national needs and practice

Facilitating and supporting information exchange (e.g. sharing of research products to support evidence based decision making).

Activities during the reporting period

Following a meeting with BAPPENAS in late 2018 to discuss support in the development of the STRANAS, AIPJ2 has: Engaged two national consultants to work with BAPPENAS on the process of developing the

STRANAS. These Indonesian experts were selected together with BAPPENAS in a competitive process facilitated by AIPJ2

Led a series of meetings and workshops with stakeholders to brainstorm ideas, share knowledge, develop partnerships and prepare workplans in support of STRANAS development

Facilitated establishment of the BAPPENAS led Working Group (March 2019), in order to allow different stakeholders interests to be discussed and actions coordinated. The Working Group includes BAPPENAS, KPPPA, AIPJ2, MAMPU, UNICEF, UNFPA and key CSOs

Facilitated a formal launch of STRANAS development involving all key stakeholders, at which a draft workplan was presented, the role of stakeholders was discussed and clarified, and agreement reached on next steps.

Challenges encountered and implications

Until now, development of the STRANAS has progressed slowly for the following reasons: There have been differences of opinion between BAPPENAS and KPPPA about the scope and

purpose of the STRANAS and the National Action Plan on Preventing Child Marriage. KPPPA has responsibility for developing the National Action Plan, and drafted one in 2017 which was never finalised. However, it has now been agreed that the STRANAS should be developed and completed

AIPJ2 Progress Report1 January to 30 June 2019

before work on the National Action Plan recommences. BAPPENAS and DFAT took time to clarify the scope of DFAT support, including the respective roles

of AIPJ2 and MAMPU. This was clarified in early March 2019, with agreement that AIPJ2 would focus on supporting BAPPENAS in technical aspects of STRANAS development and MAMPU would focus on supporting workshops, and in producing advocacy materials e.g. infographic, video and film.

Recruiting the two consultants to support STRANAS development required extensive consultation with members of the Working Group and approval of selected candidates by BAPPENAS, while still following CARDNO procurement processes.

The national elections made it difficult to organise some scheduled meetings. The main challenge going forward will be to meet BAPPENAS ’s ambitious timelines while still ensuring a high quality process and product. AIPJ2 has reorganised responsibilities within the GEDSI team to enable us to focus on this priority.

Other support for sub-national initiatives

AIPJ2 has continued to support sub-national initiatives to prevent child marriage in South Sulawesi (in Kabupaten Bone and Kabupaten Maros) - led by AIPJ2 partner, Institute of Community Justice; in Aceh (Kabupaten Piddie), NTB (Kabupaten Lombok Tengah), West Java (Kabupaten Cianjur)- led by AIPJ2 partner, PEKKA; and in Kabupaten Cirebon – led by Rumah KitaB. In this reporting period, several local regulations have been drafted and issued including: Circular Letter by the South Sulawesi Governor on Child Marriage Prevention Roadmap on Child Marriage Prevention has been drafted for the Provincial Government of South

Sulawesi Circular Letter of Bupati Bone No. 188.6/557/IV/PPPA on Child Marriage Prevention in Bone District Circular Letter of Bupati Maros No. 463/12/DPPPA on Ending Child Marriage Practices in Maros

District Village Regulation of Desa Seberang, Kecamatan Lamuru, Kabupaten Bone No 7/2019 on Child

Marriage Prevention Signed Memorandum of Understanding between Bupati Bone and 13 Local Government Institutions

of Kabupaten Bone No. 464.2/1107/VI/DPPPA to Collaborative Work on Ending the Practice of Child Marriage

Draft Circular Letter from the Bupati Lombok Tengah to Prevent Child Marriage in Lombok Tengah, NTB

Village Regulations in two villages in Kabupaten Piddie in Aceh as a commitment and agreement to involve women participation on local MUSRENBANG (village planning forum) where women representatives can nominate and vote for village development activities, including on campaign and awareness raising activities to end the practice of child marriage.

Through AIPJ2 support to Rumah Kitab, community figures and the local community in Kalibaru, Cilincing, North Jakarta established a Memorandum of Understanding (April 2019) to achieve a child-friendly community within no more than ten years. North Jakarta district officials participated in the events and committed to extend the pilots to other areas of North Jakarta. This network is significant for AIPJ2, beyond child marriage prevention work, due to North Jakarta’s vulnerability to political violence.

Disability Law implementation and monitoring framework

Description and current status

Indonesia enacted its national law on Disability Rights in 2016. Since then, GoI has been developing the required implementing regulations, of which there are currently seven in progress. As of June 2019, all regulations are still in various stages of drafting and none have yet received final Presidential approval.

AIPJ2 support strategy AIPJ2’s support strategy involves: Supporting partnerships and collaboration with DPO partners (SIGAB and SAPDA) and their

networks, to facilitate their meaningful participation in, and contribution to, GOI policy development Engagement and advocacy to the President Office (KSP) to get their buy-in and support to AIPJ2

Disability program and initatives Linking the work back to the RANHAM (see above) to consolidate human rights initiatives under one

umbrella, noting the AIPJ2 RANHAM adviser is also a leading disability advocate Provision of direct technical input and assistance into the drafts by the AIPJ2 Disability Adviser(s) Provision of financial support and direct facilitation of events/ activities when needed and appropriate.To date, AIPJ2 has convened partners to contribute technical advice to relevant GoI agencies, and followed up with GoI to ensure progress on: The Draft Regulation on disability inclusive planning, implementation and monitoring The Draft Regulation on access to justice to ensure reasonable accommodation of people with

disability The Draft Regulation on social welfare (now supported by the Australia-Indonesia bilateral social

protection program, MAHKOTA) The Draft Regulation on habilitation and rehabilitation. AIPJ2 has also started a new initiative on developing ‘disability rights indicators’ which will be used as a tool for monitoring disability law implementation as well as Indonesia’s international commitments under the United Nations Convention on the Rights of People with Disabilities. Again these will be consolidated

7

AIPJ2 Progress Report1 January to 30 June 2019

with the RANHAM development and monitoring work.

Activities supported during the reporting period

Activities supported include: SIGAB has continued working with Disability Working Group (POKJA Disabilitas) and the Ministry of

Law and Human Rights to improve the draft regulation on access to justice to ensure reasonable accommodation for people with disabilities. Significant improvements were made, taking into account recommendations from the research conducted by PUSHAM UII, SIGAB and CDS under AIPJ2’s support for Corrections Reform (Pillar 4).

Technical assistance and input was also provided by the Disability Adviser to BAPPENAS in finalising the draft regulation on inclusive planning, implementation and monitoring/evaluation.

For the two regulations on social welfare and on habilitation and rehabilitation, AIPJ2 is no longer providing direct support as this has instead been taken on by the Australia-Indonesia bilateral social protection program, MAHKOTA.

AIPJ2 organised and hosted the disability donor’s coordination meeting on 26 June 2019. This was used as a platform for BAPPENAS to brief disability donors on the progress of policy development, and inform them how they can best support GoI initiatives going forward.

Development of ‘disability rights indicators’ has been started through: 1) development of a first draft of indicators by the disability advisor; 2) convening the first consultation workshop with DPOs and their CSO networks in March 2019; and 3) a meeting to finalize indicators and draft the monitoring tools.

Challenges encountered and implications

The general election in April 2019 slowed down the work on policy development, as GoI partner officials had other concerns to deal with. However, now that the Jokowi government has been confirmed for another term in office, it is anticipated that work will progress more quickly over the coming months. There was some concern that the shift from AIPJ2 to MAKHOTA to support the development of the social welfare regulation and the habilitation and rehabilitation regulation might be disruptive, however there was a smooth transition of responsibilities between programs. AIPJ2 and MAHKOTA’s GEDSI personnel continue to collaborate and share information on progress.

Pillar 2 – Transnational crime and security strengtheningEnd of Facility Outcome: GoI policies and plans that support transnational crime and security strengthening are informed by evidence of sub-national practice, the rights of women and PWD, inputs from CSOs, and internationaI good practice.

Reporting for this pillar is drawn directly from the six-monthly reports of each Government of Australia agency implementing partner. AIPJ2 supports five main partners, namely:

Australian Border Force Department of Home Affairs (Transport Security) Department of Home Affairs (Legal Affairs) The Australian Transaction and Analysis Centre (AUSTRAC) The Australian Federal Police (AFP)

Australian Border Force

In the first 24 months of the Strong Borders program, more than 500 border officers and middle management have been trained or directly engage in on the job learning on technical intervention activity or leadership and integrity.

In the period January – June 2019:

> 40 frontline officers, including two females, received Passenger Analysis and Targeting Course training – focused on combatting people smuggling (April-May 2019)

> 49 officers received Intelligence Analysis training, including 18 females (April 2019)> two canine handling officers travelled to Australia and spent four weeks seconded to the Melbourne dog

training and breeding center (February 2019).

Partner agencies continue to provide feedback that the training techniques are relevant and valuable to day-to-day operations and are being implemented by those frontline participants who have received the training. This has been witnessed first-hand by Australian officers based in Jakarta during subsequent training visits.

Analysis: > The Strong Borders program continues to focus on frontline operations with their Customs and

Immigration counterparts. Frontline officer training has continued, but courses have been adapted to

8

Page 18: Executive Summary · Web viewThe AFP facilitated the second Quad-Lateral Working Group meeting in March 2019, involving participants from Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar and Thailand

AIPJ2 Progress Report1 January to 30 June 2019

focus less on technology based training, to developing soft skills such as questioning, deception detection and real time risk assessment. By offering specific frontline training in short bursts, the partner agencies will get immediate benefit while not becoming reliant on international trainers.

> The need to develop in house capability for partners to create self-sustainable training models has not changed, and driving change at a sustainable level is ongoing support which will come through continued engagement, interaction and calibrated capacity building. ABF is now engaging with the AIPJ2 team to explore approaches to accessing local providers, and has started with MEL training through Solidaritas. Engagement with counterparts on enhancement to existing training to further improve and tailor courses to meet partner agency needs has been ongoing, with the first curricular development program planned for August 2019. Phase 3 of the Strong Borders program will reduce the frontline officer training and by year three the focus will be train-the-trainer, curriculum development and self-sufficiency.

> Detections of prohibited goods currency and revenue based goods such as tobacco continue to feature prominently in local news reporting. A recent detection of a fraudulently altered Australian passport was referred to the ABF Airline Liaison officer at Ngurah Rai International Airport.

> There have been observed improvements in the Customs and National Drug Agency canine program including changes to dog kennelling and welfare that are directly related to the visits which occurred in Melbourne in November 2017, April 2018, November 2018 and April 2019.

Department of Home Affairs (Aviation and Maritime Security)

Activities delivered during the reporting period included:

> Aviation Security Foundations and Security Awareness training was delivered by Aviation and Maritime Security (AMS) at Sultan Hasanuddin Airport, Makassar : 25-28 February 2019 as part of our regional capacity building initiative that targets gateway and feeder airports. Overall, 800 officers aviation security officers from API/II have received the training.

> AMS partnered with an Australian industry training provider, Trident Security to deliver Advanced Technology Implementation training sessions in Denpasar between 18 and 29 March 2019. Approximately 60 aviation security officers in total were provided with training on the implementation and use of Explosive Trace Detection (ETD) equipment at international airports.

> Home Affairs partnered with the United Kingdom (UK) Department for Transport (DfT) to commence our program of work to strengthen air cargo security in Indonesia.Between 25 February and 1 March 2019, an operationally-focused training program was delivered in Jakarta and Denpasar to 60 staff from Indonesia’s Regulated Agents (air cargo security screening authorities), international ground handling agents and airlines.

> On 18, 19, 21 and 22 March four-days of air cargo security on-the-job mentoring was undertaken by Australian and UK officials at the Regulated Agents facilities in Denpasar and Jakarta.

> The UK DfT and Home Affairs conducted a meeting with Indonesia’s Director of Aviation Security to present the findings of the cargo observation report and to draw the Director’s attention to the issues and vulnerabilities identified in the cargo security system in Indonesia.

> Home Affairs, the UK DfT, the Netherlands Royal Marechaussee (RM) and the International Air Transport Association (IATA) conducted a five-day air cargo security regulatory workshop in Jakarta between 22 and 26 July 2019. This Workshop brought together both government and industry to discuss the issues and challenges facing the air cargo industry and the need for reformed regulations, regulatory support for enforcement of the regulations and improved government oversight and enforcement of regulations and requirements for Regulated Agents.

> Home Affairs and the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) presented the finalised report into Maritime Security in Indonesia on 12 April 2019. This joint report was drafted by Home Affairs and the DGST to capture the findings of the maritime security site inspections and the Maritime Security Regulatory Deep Dive conducted in 2018.

> Home Affairs delivered two ‘Managing Trusted Insider Threat’ Workshops in Denpasar and Surabaya to a total of 60 participants in April and July 2019. For the first time AMS is trialing the establishment of Return to Work Action Plans (RWAP) under our Monitoring and Evaluation efforts. We have received positive feedback from participants and DGCA and other partner organisations about this innovative approach to applying knowledge learned from a course to the workplace.

AIPJ2 Progress Report1 January to 30 June 2019

> Home Affairs conducted roundtable discussions in March 2019 with those officers who participated in the Transport Security Knowledge Exchange Visit to work through questions on notice, follow-up items and specific action items that were discussed in Canberra at the Transport Security Knowledge Exchange Visit in December 2018. DGST senior officials travelled to Canberra to meet with AMS and Home Affairs officials, as well as to visit the Port of Melbourne.

AnalysisAviation security systems and operational capacities have been enhanced through AMS support, for example: > Air Cargo Security: on-the-job mentoring at a Regulated Agent facility resulted in the establishment of

new Standard Operating Procedures for air cargo examination and screening and the implementation of new employee identification cards with clear expiry date and access permissions for each employee.

> Air Cargo Security: a five-day regulatory reform workshop was conducted in Jakarta in cooperation with the UK Department for Transport and International Air Transport Association. The workshop resulted in the establishment of an air cargo security Action Plan for Indonesia that was co-drafted by Indonesia, Australia and the UK. The Action Plan will now be circulated to DGCA Senior Executives for endorsement.

> Aviation Security: an operational-visit to Melbourne International Airport demonstrated the advantages of advanced screening technologies and as a result in early 2019 Jakarta and Denpasar Airports installed new smart-lane baggage screening technologies at their international departures screening point. In addition, the DGCA will legislate that advanced technologies must be implemented at Indonesian Category 1 airports (Category 1 airports are Jakarta and Denpasar).

> Aviation Security: a five-day Transport Security Knowledge Exchange Visit to Canberra contributed to the establishment of the DGCA Reform Program that will address key issues that have been consistently raised by AMS Jakarta with DGCA.

Maritime Security systems and operational capacities have also been enhanced. Following our port observations and regulatory reform workshop, a joint report was drafted by Australia and Indonesia that highlighted the key issues and recommendations to strengthen maritime security in Indonesia. This report was accepted by the DGST and has provided the DGST with guidance on how to go about solving some of these issues while also providing a road map for our future engagement and capacity building activities to ensure they are based on evidence and clearly articulate outcomes and outputs.

Partnerships and inter-agency collaboration have also been strengthened through AMS support, for example through the facilitation of round-table policy discussions and benchmarking activities, which have brought together senior executives from aviation and maritime security. These opportunities have provided an opportunity to openly discuss challenges and opportunities for officials within the Ministry of Transportation to work more effectively together on issues of common concern. In the operational space, we have provided opportunities for air cargo screening authorities from Denpasar and Jakarta to train together through consolidated air cargo security operational training and facilitated an air cargo industry forum between operators and the Government as well as airlines and peak-bodies.

Department of Home Affairs (Legal)

Building on earlier program achievements, Home Affairs continued its partnership with KPK to implement the Guidebook on Handling Cases of Money Laundering and Asset Recovery in the Capital Market (finalised last reporting period) through development of an e-learning module.

In conjunction with the AIPJ2 team, Home Affairs has supported the KPK’s Directorate in Fostering Networks between the Commission and Institutions, and the new Anti-Corruption Learning Centre, to develop a framework for the follow-on e-learning module on money laundering and asset recovery in the capital market. The module aims to increase the accessibility and interactivity of the guidebook information, and to see it entrenched as an ongoing learning tool within the Learning Centre’s curriculum.

Specifically, in this reporting period Home Affairs:

AIPJ2 Progress Report1 January to 30 June 2019

> provided input to a project terms of reference, including establishing the scope of work and key deliverables

> as part of the selection panel, assessed short-listed technical proposals and budgets> contributed to planning discussions with the successful service provider (Netpolitan) to map project

design, development and delivery> contributed Australia’s comparative experience in the development of learning resources, and in handling

cases of sophisticated money laundering.

Leveraging the momentum and strong relationships from earlier phases of support, the partnership with the Attorney General Office’s Counter-Terrorism and Transnational Crime Directorate (the Directorate) and the United States Department of Justice to support Indonesia’s commitment has continued and capacity to respond to evolving terrorism threats by supporting the effective implementation of its counter-terrorism (and transnational crime) laws. In this reporting period:

> 12-14 February, Palembang - fourth training workshop on counter-terrorism (CT) and transnational crime laws with 35 prosecutors (five female) from the Directorate and from across Sumatera. The workshop provided participants with contemporary information about CT laws and terror networks, and built knowledge and capacity to implement other priority transnational crime laws, such as human trafficking and money laundering. Experts from PPATK, National Counter-Terrorism Agency (BNPT), Witness and Victims Protection Agency (LPSK) and US/Australia led sessions that taught skills and strategies including ‘following the money’, digital evidence and victim restitution.

> 9-11 April, Ambon – fifth training workshop on CT and transnational crime laws, with 31 Regional Section Heads for Terrorism and Transnational Crimes (one female) from across Indonesia, and from the Directorate. The workshop was an opportunity for an in-depth exploration of the regional threat environment, the application of new CT laws, international examples of how to conduct high profile cases with novel evidence, terrorism financing and deradicalisation. Experts from BNPT, PPATK and LPSK, and academics from Australia and Singapore led discussions.

The Legal Adviser/Home Affairs at the Embassy supported these and other activities through participation in conferences, training activities, focus groups discussions, policy and casework dialogue, and development of practitioner tools.

AnalysisChallenges with complex money laundering as uncovered in the development of the KPK Capital Markets E-Learning Module project are consistent with advice provided by the Asia/Pacific Group on Money Laundering in its 2018 review of Indonesia’s anti-money laundering and counter terrorist financing regime. It noted that Indonesia’s money laundering risk primarily stems from domestic proceeds, with proceeds from these predicate crimes primarily laundered through the banking, capital markets and real estate sectors. The Asia/Pacific Group on Money Laundering recommended that Indonesia work to increase money laundering investigation agencies’ capacity to investigate more complex money laundering cases. The module is also being specifically designed for use across the range of entities responsible for addressing money laundering crimes, such as Indonesian National Police (INP), Attorney General Office and Otoritas Jasa Keuangan (Financial Services Authority ) (as well as KPK). The provision of key information about the capital markets risks, money laundering typologies and strategies for detection, investigation and prosecution, aims to promote a more cohesive approach to countering these crimes.

The Attorney General Office CT workshops continue to support the Directorate in shaping and implementing its policy strategy for handling an increased number of CT prosecutions involving new offences and more complex evidentiary issues. In particular, the workshops were targeted efforts to increase the skill of prosecutors in Sumatra and out-posted CT Section Heads from provinces across Indonesia to run CT trials outside of Jakarta. As previously reported, the Directorate has identified the staged decentralisation of CT trials as a potential solution to the challenge of increasing caseloads and case backlogs. They have also continued to strengthen relationships between prosecutors from the Directorate and their provincial counterparts. Feedback from provincial prosecutors at the Ambon workshop noted that the opportunity to network and practice case problems with other CT Section Heads (and experienced Jakarta prosecutors) would be valuable for their ongoing work. The CT Section Heads are newly appointed with little existing CT case experience, and are geographically isolated. The ability to readily share experiences and ideas with

11

AIPJ2 Progress Report1 January to 30 June 2019

each other and with Jakarta is imperative for the success of future provincial-level CT trials. Through participation by other government partners (LPSK, BNPT, PPATK), the CT workshops also continue to promote collaborative work practices and information sharing between law enforcement and justice agencies.

AUSTRAC

The main activity implemented during this reporting period was the 4th trilateral analyst exchange involving PPTAK, AUSTRAC and the financial intelligence unit of Thailand, the Anti Money Laundering Office (AMLO). The topics selected for focus on this analyst exchange were Child Sexual Exploitation (CSE), Serious Organised Crime – Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs (OMCGs). These topics were derived after discussion with AUSTRAC and PPATK law enforcement partners in Jakarta.regional partners. The first leg of the exchange was held over a two week period in Sydney from 17-28 June 2019. The two additional legs occurred in Jakarta from 22-26 July 2019 and Bangkok from 15-23 August 2019 and whilst conducted after the end of the period under review were expensed to the 2018/19 program budget.

Prior to and between each of the exchanges the analysts continued to work remotely on preparing or progressing the analytical work on the agreed topics across their own respective data sets. Weekly teleconferencing during this period ensured coordination and the sharing of insights and suggestions. At the conclusion of each leg of the exchange an Intelligence brief and briefing session was/will be provided to various law enforcement partners to allow for operational feedback and input on the joint analytical work. A final intelligence brief containing actionable financial intelligence will be prepared post August 2019 by participating analysts.

In this reporting period, funding for a new and related activity was also approved, namely implementation of an Information Sharing Platform (ISP) Pilot project. The ISP which is being piloted by the financial intelligence units of Australia (AUSTRAC), Indonesia (PPATK) and Malaysia (BNMUPW) will test the parameters of a secure block chain-based intelligence platform that has been developed in conjunction with a third-party private sector developer contracted by AUSTRAC. The findings and recommendations of the ISP Pilot will be shared at the CTF Summit 2019 that will be held in Manila from 12-14 November 2019.

Analysis

The analyst exchange program continues to support the development of knowledge, partnerships and institutional capacities. Led and mentored by the senior AUSTRAC analyst the PPATK analysts have been provided with ‘hands on’ capacity building through the sharing of techniques and methods of detecting illicit money flows related to CSE and OMCG. Joint analysis of these live networks has also provided PPATK analysts with a demonstration of financial intelligence based systems and effective engagement strategies conducted by AUSTRAC and its partner agencies such as the AFP. Operational level relationships across the partnership have been enhanced through the participation of the analysts in the AEP. Relationships with respective law enforcement partner agencies are also enhanced as FIU-LEA and subsequently LEA-LEA points of contacts across Directorates covering the topics of the AEP are established and/or maintained. These relationships will have long lasting positive impacts to operations involving Australian, Indonesian (and Thai) agencies.

At the end of each leg of the exchanges PPATK analysts presented their findings and learning with the PPATK intelligence branch and through direction from their leadership team are instructed to make changes to standard operating procedures to reflect and incorporate learnings. The analyst exchanges are conducted over a number of months in different locations and actively encourage collaboration and understanding

between participants. As the participants must produce an outcome of relevance to each countries’ law enforcement agencies it requires the analysts to work together to develop and deliver a high quality product under tight time frames.

As a direct result of the Law Enforcement briefings given by the analysts during the Jakarta leg of the exchange, the Indonesian Department of Immigration was so impressed by the practical example of how financial intelligence can be used in developing and aiding an investigation, that it signed a long out-standing MOU between it and PPATK within a week of the briefing. This MOU now allows both agencies access to parts of each other’s databases which in turn will encourage greater collaboration and efficiency in respective investigations and intelligence gathering / sharing.

Through the PROSPERA program, AUSTRAC delivers the Financial Intelligence Analyst Course (FIAC). In the FIAC held in Bandung in February 2019, one module delivered to PPATK staff was on the detection of child sexual exploitation (CSE) payments running through remittance channels. This information then prompted PPATK analysts to apply these lessons back in the workplace. As a result of this follow up work, two significant CSE networks were identified involving Indonesian and Thai facilitators with people accessing this illegal service from over forty countries, including Australia. The Indonesian National Police have agreed to open a formal investigation into these networks with the view to dismantling the networks, preventing the abuse of the children involved and arresting the perpetrators.

> Forensics Disaster Victim Identification Training of Trainer Program (25-29 March 2019): a one week course delivered by INP officers in Bogor, Indonesia.

AnalysisCounter Terrorism: The CT legislation capacity building program is a joint initiative with the INP and includes several government agencies. The development of this program has been in close consultation with the INP training directorate. This ensures that the program adheres to the INP’s training policy and curriculum guidelines, which qualifies it for official accreditation within the INP’s education and advancement system. The training provides INP participants with the skills and resources to incorporate the new CT legislation into their daily functions. It is anticipated on the completion of the program the INP will be able to develop their own support documentation for implementation of the CT legislation training program and use of skills within the workplace.

Organised Crime: The AFP facilitated the second Quad-Lateral Working Group meeting in March 2019, involving participants from Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar and Thailand. The focus of these meetings is to discuss strategies to disrupt and dismantle illicit narcotic routes targeting participating countries. By bringing countries together who are impacted through the source and transiting of methamphetamine, it is assisting the INP by enhancing their knowledge of the threat and impact of these trafficking routes. These meetings encourage the sharing of information and policing techniques. The Quad-Lateral Working Group also

provided an opportunity for the AFP and INP to discuss development of improved systems and skills to combat organised crime and narcotic trafficking, contributing to knowledge exchange and directly to operations.

People Smuggling: The AFP facilitated an introductory meeting between the INP and Sri Lanka Police in January 2019. The objective of the introductory meeting was to promote a mutual understanding of the people smuggling environment and policing arrangements in Indonesia and Sri Lanka and to facilitate avenues for cooperation and information sharing between the two agencies. The INP is now negotiating an MOU with Sri Lanka Police on co-operation on combatting transnational crime.

Cybercrime and Transnational Child Sexual Exploitation: The Covert Online Engagement Workshop (1-5 April 2019) provided participants with knowledge of the underlying issues related to cybercrime and cyber enabled crimes, including transnational child sexual exploitation and counter terrorism and how these potentially threaten the community, economic and security stability of Indonesia and wider Asia-Pacific region. This workshop had a themed focused on counter terrorism and transnational child sexual exploitation and explored how cybercrime enables both. This workshop provided participants with knowledge and technical skills to gather intelligence and evidence in the online environment without being identified as law enforcement.

Anti-Corruption: The AFP has facilitated a number of Working Group meetings with the INP Anti-Corruption Directorate. These meetings have provided a valuable forum for each agency to discuss emerging capacity building opportunities and also to evaluate current initiatives and future legislative amendments with respect to criminal asset confiscation.

Forensics: Upon completion of the Disaster Victim Identification Training of Trainer Program (25-29 March 2019), INP trainers in the Disaster Victim Identification field have obtained knowledge on the procedures for designing/planning a course, developing training modules, and evaluating training results.

1.3. Pillar 3 – Preventing violent extremism (PVE)End of Facility Outcome: GoI policies and plans that prevent violent extremism are informed by evidence of sub-national practice, the rights of women and people with disabilities, inputs from CSOs, and internationaI good practice.

AIPJ2 is supporting five main areas of work under this Pillar, namely:

Counter-Terrorism Law implementation and advocacy National Action Plan on Countering Violent Extremism Leading to Terrorism Policies on rehabilitation and re-integration of returnees, deportees and violent extremism offenders

(VEO) Guidelines for establishment of a PVE co-ordination and knowledge centre Sub-national PVE initiatives

Counter-Terrorism Law implementation and advocacy

Description and current status

GoI is currently developing seven implementing regulations related to Law No.5 of 2018 on Counter Terrorism, namely: Prevention, including preparedness, deradicalisation, counter-radicalisation (RPP Pencegahan) BNPT Governance (RPP OTK BNPT) victim rights and compensation (RPP Hak Korban dan Kompensasi) Supervision and Monitoring (RPDPR Pengawasan) Military Involvement (RPP Keterlibatan TNI) Law Enforcement Officer and Witness/Victim Protection (RPP Perlindungan Aparat, saksi dan

korban) Mechanism for victims compensation and rehabilitation (RPP Mekanisme Pemberian Kompensasi

dan Rehabilitasi untuk Korban). All of these regulations are still in the process of being prepared, even though they should have been enacted by May 2019 (one year after passing of the CT Law).

AIPJ2 support strategy Having previously supported the drafting of the 2018 Counter Terrorism Law, AIPJ2 is now supporting its implementation. AIPJ2 supports: Civil Society Against Violent Extremism (C-SAVE) to assist BNPT in preparing the draft Presidential

Regulation on BNPT Governance Aliansi Indonesia Damai (AIDA) to assist the LPSK in preparing the draft Presidential Regulation on

Victim Rights and Compensation.

Activities during the reporting period

Presidential Regulation on BNPT Governance. C-SAVE is working with BNPT to ensure that the regulation accommodates the perspectives of victims, both women and men, and civil society more generally. C-SAVE has conducted consultations with a range of CSOs and BNPT, prepared a paper on BNPT Governance and submitted this to BNPT for their consideration and input into the draft regulation. C-Save recommended formal representation of CSOs in BNPT governance and program development, and proposed 30 per cent of women in the key positions to promote gender equality.Drafting Presidential Regulation on Victim Rights and Compensation. AIDA is working with the Witness and Victims Protection Agency (LPSK) and the Victims Association to develop the draft Presidential Regulation on Victim Rights and Compensation. A series of meeting has been conducted by AIDA to identify key issues with respect to delivering victims’ rights and compensation, and a report has been submitted to LPSK. The report addresses the rights of victims to medical, rehabilitation and financial support and the mechanisms required to deliver this support.

Challenges encountered and implications

The CT Law does not clearly state that CSO engagement is required. BNPT has therefore questioned C-SAVE involvement, and has been reluctant to allow for any formal CSO representation within the BNPT structure6. C-SAVE’s recommendation to include a 30 per cent quota for women to sit in strategic positions within BNPT was met with resistance. There is no suggestion as to how women with the appropriate skills would be identified and developed, given their historical exclusion from this area of work. C-SAVE is now considering shifting their focus from engaging with BNPT to supporting the House of Representative to draft the regulation on Supervision and Monitoring of CT implementation. It is likely to be more constructive now for the AIPJ2 team and advisers to shift strategy and engage directly with BNPT, involving BAPPENAS.

National Action Plan on Countering Violent Extremism Leading to Terrorism

Description and current status

A draft National Action Plan on Countering Violent Extremism Leading to Terrorism (RAN-PE) was first completed in March 2018. This was prepared by BNPT in collaboration with CSOs, with support from AIPJ2. In April 2019 this policy initiative was approved by the President, and BNPT was instructed to seek approval of the RAN-PE from 18 relevant Ministries. A RAN-PE Working Group, made up of these 18 Ministries, was subsequently established. This Counter Terrorism Law of 2018 requires that a Government Regulation on Countering Terrorism (PP Pencegahan) be prepared as the basis for implementing the Law. Discussions on the RAN-PE are therefore currently on hold until the Regulation has been prepared and approved. Work on drafting the Regulation is in process, led by BNPT (as chair of the Inter-Ministerial Committee) and with support from a coalition of CSOs. As mandated by CT Law, the regulation should have been completed in June 2019, but is now expected in August 2019.

AIPJ2 support strategy AIPJ2’s support for GoI national policy development on PVE has been primarily provided through Wahid Foundation (WF). WF’s main role to date has been to facilitate CSO engagement with the Government on the development of the RAN PE. To this end, a CSO forum on PVE, led by WF, has been established to strengthen and deepen their engagement with BNPT. The CSO forum members also promote public discourse and conduct advocacy on PVE issues.

Activities during the reporting period

Policy Advocacy. WF continue to support BNPT to develop the RAN PE and facilitate CSOs inputs to the draft. There is on-going debate on the terminology of “violent extremism”. Also, we are waiting for BNPT to start developing the Government Regulation on Prevention. CSO Coordination Forum. The CSO Coordination Forum held a series of meetings to discuss how CSOs would work with GoI. It was agreed to shift the focus of support from RAN PE to the Government Regulation on Prevention, as a regulation would provide stronger direction to GoI agencies. It was also agreed to assist BNPT to conduct research on the term “violent extremism” and to help find more acceptable and appropriate terminology.

Challenges encountered and implications

The main challenges encountered include: While the President has approved the draft RAN-PE concept (allowing drafting to continue), the need

to reach agreement with 18 different Ministries will be a complex process, requiring stakeholders to get together and advocates to find the right channels to decision makers.

BNPT’s priority focus is now on preparing the Regulations to implement the CT Law. Work on the RAN-PE is therefore essentially on hold until the Regulations has been drafted. The Regulations are already overdue, as they should have been enacted in May 2019 according to the provisions of the CT Law. The implication for Wahid Foundation is that they now need to focus on supporting BNPT to draft CT Regulations (including on Prevention) rather than work on the RAN PE.

Wahid and the CSO coordination forum will also assist BNPT in finding alternative terminology to describe ‘violent extremism’.

6 In contrast to the National Strategy for Corruption Prevention (discussed above), which mandates civil society in a monitoring role.

Policies on rehabilitation and re-integration of returnees, deportees and VEO

Description and current status

Rehabilitation and Reintegration SOP for deportees and returnees The Ministry of Social Affairs has developed Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) on rehabilitation and reintegration for deportees and returnees, with support from C-SAVE. The SOP were first drafted in December 2017 and are now being implemented at the Panti Sosial Marsudi Putra Handayani (social rehabilitation shelter). This shelter is where deportees and returnees are being assessed and supported once they arrive back in Indonesia. The chairman of the shelter enacted a circular letter in March 2019 to support SOP implementation. Community Based Corrections model development for VEOsThe current corrections system does not accommodate any role for the family and community to be involved in reducing the risk of former VEOs re-offending or returning to extremist networks. The WGWC and advisers, Nurhuda Ismail7 and Solahudin have recommended based on their work with VEOs that the family and local community can play an important part in reducing the risk of re-offending. Note that this does not mean they will be released to the community but that the community will be engaged in their rehabilitation, particularly as visitors and mentors. As inmates approach their release date, community involvement becomes even more important, so that reintegration can be managed from both perspectives of the inmates and the communities they return into.The Directorate General of Corrections (DGC) is developing guidance for the implementation of a community-based corrections model for VEO. The draft guidance has been discussed with relevant technical units within DGC, and the final draft is expected to be completed in August 2019, before it is ready for piloting. DGC is also concerned about the management of convicted women and juvenile VEOs, given the increasing number of women and juveniles involved in recent terrorist attacks and subsequently arrested by the police. Specific research on how to best manage and rehabilitate women and juvenile VEOs is being undertaken.

AIPJ2 support strategy AIPJ2 provides funding and advice to C-SAVE to assist the Ministry of Social Affairs and BNPT in developing and implementing policies and management procedures for the rehabilitation and reintegration of deportees and returnees. AIPJ2 provides funding and advice to YPP to assist the Directorate General of Corrections (DGC) in developing and implementing policies and management procedures for the rehabilitation and reintegration of VEO, including women and juveniles. The advice to both partners comes through regular contact with the AIPJ2 team and adviser, Solahudin. AIPJ2 also organises sessions where partners have the opportunity to learn from each other.

Activities during the reporting period

During this reporting period: C-SAVE conducted a series of meetings with BNPT and Ministry of Social Affairs to assess the

adoption of guidance on rehabilitation and reintegration of deportees and returnees into national policies.

YPP conducted baseline research to assess the problems and challenges of implementing a community-based corrections program for VEOs. A gap analysis report was developed and a draft concept model has been developed for submission to DGC. YPP conducted a series of meeting with DGC officials to develop the concept in the period March-June 2019. This work has been undertaken in collaboration with AIPJ2’s support under Pillar 4 (Corrections Reform).

YPP has also conducted research on the specific rehabilitation and reintegration needs of convicted women and juvenile VEOs. Existing laws and regulations have been reviewed, data has been collected from field work in Malang, East Java and Tangerang (Banten), and in-depth discussions have been held with DGC officials, national commission on child protection, national commission on women, and the social rehabilitation shelter in Jakarta (see above). The draft research report has been submitted to DGC and AIPJ2.

Challenges encountered and implications

As the terms ‘deportees’ and ‘returnees’ are not included under the new CT law, there is a risk that those arriving back in Indonesia will automatically be arrested and processed through the criminal justice system (even if there is no evidence of a criminal offence), rather than being treated as a vulnerable group, assessed professionally and, if necessary, provided with social rehabilitation support. The new CT law classifies the family of VEO’s or others influenced by extremist ideology as ‘vulnerable groups’. The SOP being developed by C-SAVE therefore need to be modified to ensure it targets the right groups of people. There is also a need to ensure that the SOP and the Government Regulation on Prevention (RPP Pencegahan) are consistent in this regard. C-SAVE will therefore conduct gap analysis on this issue.

The implementation of a Community-based corrections model will require the involvement of the community and local government. Parole Officers will therefore be key players in assessing specific cases and facilitating coordination with relevant community and local government organisations. Support for parole officers to take on this role will therefore be required. There are currently no provisions in place within the corrections system to manage high risk women and juveniles and there is an absence of international best practices to refer to in this regard so further research on this issue is required, including on how the CT Law and Juvenile Justice Law interact.

7 Nurhuda is no longer engaged as an adviser with AIPJ2 but was an adviser previously and continues to engage as a colleague.

Guidelines for establishment of PVE co-ordination and knowledge centre

Description and current status

The new CT Law has mandated BNPT as the coordinating agency for countering terrorism. This includes coordination of the formulation and implementation of policies, strategies and national programs on countering terrorism, involving GoI agencies, CSOs and international actors. Mapping the CT/PVE related work of GoI, CSO and international agencies is part of this responsibility. BNPT is also designated as the centre for crisis analysis, which serves as a facility for the President and Executive Government to establish policies to prevent and manage terrorist related crises, including resources mobilisation. A draft concept note on development of a coordination and knowledge center has been prepared and submitted to BNPT, has been amended internally and is now being considered by senior management.

AIPJ2 support strategy AIPJ2 is providing direct technical support to BNPT for the establishment of a coordination and knowledge centre. At this stage no CSOs or other consultants are involved. AIPJ2 is proposing that BAPPENAS demonstrates its co-ordination platform, developed with AIPJ2, to BNPT for consideration. There is scope for BNPT to access the platform for monitoring PVE activities and generating maps of activities and management reports. There is also scope for BNPT to access and contribute to the K-Hub PVE community as a government member, but noting that the administrator of the community will be from civil society.

Activities during the reporting period

AIPJ2 and DFAT met with the Director of Regional and Multilateral Cooperation of BNPT to discuss the concept of the PVE coordination and knowledge centre. A draft concept note was then submitted to BNPT in April 2019. A further meeting to discuss the concept note was then held, together with United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime. Agreement was reached that United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, as the UN transnational crime body, will support BNPT to convene an initial workshop with all key stakeholders in October-November, while AIPJ2 will support in a lower profile role and in subsequent implementation.

Challenges encountered and implications

It is not yet clear the extent to which BNPT is willing to accept input from CSOs and the international community for the development of organisational capacity, including prevention policies and plans. Some of BNPT’s senior officials believe that they already have adequate resources and that external support is not necessary. There is perceived competition on prevention initiatives, with some in BNPT claiming that these should be implemented from within Government not by civil society. Before engaging further, AIPJ2 will wait for the Head of BNPT to endorse the idea and convince others in the organisation to collaborate with external parties. Clear support from BAPPENAS is also essential. AIPJ2 can only continue to engage directly with BNPT on such sensitive advocacy once such formal approvals are given (see Risk Management Matrix – Annex 6).

Sub-national PVE initiatives and gender mainstreaming

Social Cohesion and Peace BuildingPeace Generation along with Mosintuwu in Poso and Tanoker in Jember are working together under the banner of the RUMAH KITA project, funded by AIPJ2. The project’s main objective is to promote positive public perceptions about both areas based on promoting traditional local values which support social cohesion, peace and tolerance. In Poso the focus is on post conflict resolution and in Jember on community vulnerabilities linked to the impact of migrant workers being away from their families.

The project promotes dialogue and learning between parents, local leaders, children, and youth in both areas. This is supported through creative methods and media such as storytelling, board games, community sports, music, festivals, food and local crafts. In Poso, the Mosintuwu Festival was held in Oct 2018 and in Jember, the annual Festival Egrang will again be held in September 2019. In April 2019, Tanoker hosted a gathering of AIPJ2 sub-national PVE partners, including Peace Generation, Solo Bersimfoni, Mosintuwu and Bima NGOs to share experience and strategies in developing alternative narratives and opportunities for social cohesion in vulnerable areas.

Peace Generation’s primary role in the project is to support Tanoker and Mosintuwu develop learning modules and creative media content that support positive and effective messaging. The modules and media are being finalised after a long process of consultation, to ensure that they are relevant to the local context and need.

Solo Bersimfoni (SB) has developed training modules and materials to promote Hasta Laku (traditional values) as an alternative narrative8 within the broader community and specifically for schools in Solo. SB developed a short video involving students using the Hasta Laku cultural approach. In addition, they held a movie screening of “Tolerance” and played five short videos which were made by students. SB have

8 In discussing PVE, practitioners refer to counter narratives and alternative narratives as defences against extremist propaganda. Counter narratives directly respond to claims made in extremist

propagands, usually providing factual evidence and credible testimony to the contrary. Alternative narratives are used in areas vulnerable to extremism to reinforce cultural and social ties within communities, and build resilience against extremist propaganda. Using a public health analogy, counter narratives are treatment and alternative narratives are preventative medicine.

conducted their outreach support through the “Simfoni Goes to School” program. From January to June 2019, the program visited six high schools and one junior high school and held a series of Millennial Group Forums to discuss topics that related to events such as Ramadhan and Peace in May, and ‘Political War’ during the period of the election in June. For the election, SB invited Bawaslu and KPU to provide their insights so that there team and volunteers could identify hoax information and help prevent intimidation or violence during the election. They did this mainly by countering hoax messaging, including from local extremist sources, with facts and positive counter narrative.

Education sector, public outreach and sub national policyKalijaga Institute for Justice completed the development of the training modules for schools, “Internalisai Nilai-Nilai Keren Berkarakter dalam Pembelajaran dan Budaya Sekolah”. 200 copies have been printed and distributed. The final version was based on inputs from teachers, teacher-parent associations, students and various CSOs (including PeaceGeneration and WF). The module will be launched at the end of July 2019, by inviting 100 stakeholders related to the issue of PVE in schools, both policy makers and educators. The two other products, namely the policy paper and manuscript for international scientific journals, are still in the process of revision and refinement. It is expected that both will be completed by the end of August 2019.

AIDA finished the geo-mapping exercise to identify areas and schools vulnerable to extremist recruitment. The areas of Probolinggo City and Regency in East Java were identified, including five specific schools, which will be the priority areas/ schools in AIDA’s next planned intervention. AIDA continued to conduct their Peacebuilding Program at schools which involves bringing terrorist bombing victims and a former terrorist together to discuss their experiences, motives, and paths to reconciliation. To date this program has reached more than 6,000 students and shown impressive results in terms of attitudinal change in students. These results will be published once there is a larger sample to ensure protection of identity and still allow patterns to be identified, however some of the learning being generated by AIDA is being shared with other partners and represents outstanding PVE practice.

WF conducted peace schools pilot projects in four provinces (Jakarta, West Java, Central Java, and East Java) to strengthen civil society engagement in preventing extremism leading to violence. By June 2019, 20 schools have been involved. To reach a wider audience and promote broader public engagement in PVE initiatives, WF has involved 50 civil society and religious organisations, 18 government institutions at local and national level, and 10 universities in various activities including PVE campaigns, policy advocacy, school programs, and discussions on religion. In terms of information products, by June 2019, WF has produced 200 graphic designs, 78 videos, and 120 articles over the period of AIPJ2 support. By June 2019, these campaign and information products have reached 562,500 viewers through various social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and the WF website. WF also conducted a range of events as part of their Peace School Development Program such as Muslimah for Change Roadshow in West Java attended by 367 female students.

In May, PUSAD Paramadina launched their research report on the drivers of extremism, attended by 44 participants from various government institutions and civil organisations. The discussion on Poso highlighted evolving issues around deradicalisation, with some former combatants renouncing violence but engaging with parties and political actors known for intolerance and exclusion. Discussions also touched on the sensitivities in providing financial support for former terrorists and their families as part of disengagement efforts, with concerns raised it could provoke tensions with other residents or actually serve as an incentive for some to return to violence. The research also identified a positive impact from the work of Mosintuwu. The Bima findings, drew on previous observation by Solahudin (as part of AIDA geo-mapping research) explored the ‘radical milieu’, outlining the relationship between conservative groups and violent extremists – which moves between competition and limited cooperation. The discussion of the Head of the Bima provincial government Forum for Religious Harmony, Eka Iskandar, sharing his own experiences straddling mainstream and conservative groups highlighted the importance of having such brokers in local communities to prevent polarisation and exclusion.

Mainstreaming Gender in PVEWorking Group on Women and CVE (WGWC) finalised the Guidelines of Gender Mainstreaming on PVE. The Guidelines consist of three chapters: (i) What is gender analysis in violent extremism? (ii) Gender

analysis tool in PVE and (iii) How to use gender analysis tool. WGWC and its member RAHIMA finalised the Book of Halaqah as a Handbook on Media and PVE from women ulama’s perspective. WGWC and its members: AMAN, YPP, The Habibie Centre and Tanoker developed a module as a follow up from the workshop of Modelling Community Resilience to Support Reintegration and Rehabilitation Processes.

The K-Hub PVE section was co-designed by the WGWC and is in the final stages before being launched. The WGWC has decided to split the hub into an international hub, womenandcve.org, as well as the Indonesia focused K-Hub PVE community funded by AIPJ2. Both have different audiences but will be complementary to each other and serve as centres for knowledge sharing, activity updates and archiving key reports and documents related to women and PVE. AMAN will administer the womenandcve.org hub, seeking support from other donors, including UNWomen. Another PVE partner will administer the Indonesian K-Hub PVE community, once there is agreement among partners to an alternative to AMAN. AMAN and AIPJ2 will continue to administer the content and finalise the design in the transition period.

WGWC already uploaded initial content from May and June to the K-Hub test environment, attesting to the fact that they are very keen to begin utilising the K-Hub and its various features, including the ability to organise and discuss programs. WGWC will likely conduct a soft launch of their womenandcve.org in the coming months, after which it will be public and fully operational. WGWC will also be part of launching the K-Hub PVE community under AIPJ2’s K-Hub initiative at a similar time, along with other AIPJ2 PVE partners, including GoI agencies. The womenandcve.org hub could be described as a gender-specific initiative; the K-Hub PVE community could be described as a gender mainstreamed activity, with articles either having a gender perspective or being accompanied by a review, which provides a gender perspective on the article, written by AIPJ2 or one of our partners.

Challenges encountered and implicationsOne of the findings of the AIPJ2 PVE Review (April 2019) was: “DFAT and BAPPENAS are also generally happy with AIPJ2’s support for their PVE policy priorities. However, both agencies have some outstanding questions about the scope of the AIPJ2 portfolio of PVE activities which require clarification and resolution. BAPPENAS places priority on AIPJ2’s support for community engagement in PVE, while DFAT is as yet unsure about the scope of AIPJ2’s support for some of the softer end of AIPJ2’s support at sub-national level (e.g. for peace building and social cohesion Activities). BAPPENAS would also like AIPJ2 to be a bit more proactive in keeping BAPPENAS informed of its ongoing activities and forward plans.” It is therefore important for AIPJ2 to get clear common direction from the members of the Partnership Board on the focus areas.

There are only a limited number of CSO’s working on the high-risk side of AIPJ2’s portfolio, such as YPP and AIDA; most CSOs work in education, peace building and social cohesion activities. AIPJ2 therefore needs to be careful to ensure that the small number of partners working on prevention of violence among high risk groups can continue to absorb assistance and deliver effective activities. At the same time, if high risk groups are targeted more, then work on social cohesion would need to be reduced in scope, either within current partner grants or by ending certain initiatives.

PVE partners, under various streams of donor funding including AIPJ2, have produced a substantial body of knowledge products (survey, reports, guidebooks, comics, learning materials) but they are still not efficiently shared within the network. The K-Hub PVE community has a key role to play in reducing duplication, consolidating knowledge and encouraging analysis, comparison and synthesis. The next six-monthly reflection process will address this issue, as will discussions the AIPJ2 team, DFAT and other donors like UNODC will have with BNPT and BAPPENAS on co-ordination.

Kalijaga Institute for Justice and PUSAD contracts have finished. AIPJ2 will consider priorities with the Partnership Board and determine if and how both partners can continue to be engaged as research partners in supporting the overall portfolio of work.

AIPJ2 Progress Report1 January to 30 June 2019

1.4. Pillar 4 – Corrections reformEnd of Facility Outcome: GoI policies and plans that support corrections reform are informed by evidence of sub-national practice, the rights of women and people with disabilities, inputs from CSOs, and internationaI good practice.

AIPJ2 is supporting three main areas of work under this pillar, namely:

> Amendments to the Corrections Law> Correctional Revitalisation Blueprint implementation> Guidelines on management of high-risk inmates.

In addition, AIPJ2 has supported a study on the management of narcotic user inmates in prisons and a study on disability in prisons.

Amendments to the Corrections Law

Description and current status

The Indonesian correctional system law needs to be updated in light of recent and ongoing reforms, including the introduction of the juvenile criminal justice system, the integrated criminal justice system concept and the provisions of the new CT law.

AIPJ2 support strategy AIPJ2 provides technical support to the Directorate General of Corrections (DGC) primarily through The Asia Foundation and through them, the Centre for Detention Studies (CDS).

Activities during the reporting period

In order to support required amendments to the Corrections Law, CDS prepared a technical paper (Daftar Isian Masalah/DIM) listing the issues that need to be addressed. As part of the process, CDS gathered and synthesised input from key stakeholders, including CSOs representatives and corrections officials. Some key issues that the CSOs raised and to be addressed in the law are (i) the role of corrections as part of the integrated criminal justice system (Sistem Peradilan Pidana Terpadu); (ii) the ongoing transformation of corrections business processes from manual to electronic in line with the Electronic Transaction and Information Law and the Freedom of Information Law; (iii) a clearer, accountable and transparent remission system as one of the means to resolve overcrowding; and (iv) resolution of controversies surrounding Government Regulation No 99/2012 (PP No 12/2012) regarding Procedure and Mechanism of Inmate Rights.The technical paper was submitted by CDS to the Director General of DGC on 25 June 2019. This paper is expected to widen DGC perspectives on corrections issues and challenges, and enrich discussion with the House of Representatives.

Challenges encountered and implications

DGC has decided to accelerate the discussion process on the amendment of the corrections bill, especially in the last few months. This has raised concern among CSOs as it seems the process is becoming less transparent and consultative. There are a number of issues that CSOs believe need further detailed analysis and discussion, such as conflict of authority with other law enforcement agencies (e.g. Office of Criminal Assets Confiscation), drugs investigations within prisons, and the arrangements for remission for corruptors, drugs dealers and former terrorists under Government Regulation No.99/2012 on procedure and mechanism of inmate rights. Another challenge that DGC and CSOs may encounter in the drafting process of this law is the short period that DPR has allowed for its finalisation, again limiting the opportunities for consultation. At the most recent meeting with Nasir Jamil from Commission 3 of the National Parliament and Ambeg Paramartha, expert staff of the Minister of Law and Human Rights indicated that the draft bill will be presented to Parliament on or around September 2019. The Commission members and DGC leadership have requested DFAT and AIPJ2 support to organise a study visit to Australia to see demonstrations of prisons of different classification levels, including high risk prisons and community corrections programs. This will draw on the time and budgets of AIPJ2; it will depend on the availability and co-operation of Australian prisons. This is yet to be confirmed.

Correctional Revitalisation Blueprint implementation

Description and current status

Ministerial Decree number 40 of 2018 entitled the ‘Correctional Revitalization Blueprint’ was issued on 31 December 2018. The Blueprint is DGC’s new strategy to shift the Indonesian corrections system back to its original mandate as a corrections agency with a focus on inmate rehabilitation and development rather than punishment. At the core of this revitalisation strategy are the three different levels of prison security, each of which require different management approaches, namely: high, medium and low security prisons. Emphasis is given to regular assessment processes that should enable inmates’ behavioral development to be measured. Those who are responding well to correctional programs and are well behaved get transferred to lower level security regimes, until they are considered ready for release back in to the community.

AIPJ2 support strategy AIPJ2 provides technical support primarily through The Asia Foundation and through them the CDS.

Activities during the reporting period

CDS has conducted meetings and focus group discussions to support DGC in developing relevant technical guidelines that support the implementation of the revitalisation. The technical guidelines include

20

Page 30: Executive Summary · Web viewThe AFP facilitated the second Quad-Lateral Working Group meeting in March 2019, involving participants from Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar and Thailand

AIPJ2 Progress Report1 January to 30 June 2019

guidelines on prison’s organisational structure for high, medium and low security prisons along with their human resource requirements. CDS is also supporting DGC in assessing the possible mechanism and procedure that can be applied for inmates transitioning from higher to lower security level prisons. The result of this assessment may require amendments to DGC regulations on human resources management and on the treatment of inmates.

Challenges encountered and implications

DGC needs to communicate its strategy on corrections revitalisation more effectively as this concept is still relatively new, despite being launched to the public last year. With approximately 45,000 corrections staff, there are also significant challenges to internalising the revitalisation program within the organisation. One particular challenge is the capacity of Bapas (parole office) who under the current draft of the criminal code will be given greater decision making responsibility in assessing inmates following court decisions. AIPJ2 is focusing its support on helping DGC develop relevant technical guidelines for Bapas.

Management of high-risk inmates

Description and current status

Following the development of the Guidelines for the management of high-risk inmates that were enacted under Ministerial Decree in November 2017, AIPJ2 has supported DGC in translating these guidelines into assessment tools as part of the overall inmate behavior assessment system). As part of the revitalisation concept, DGC has requested AIPJ2 to support the integration of the inmate behavior assessment system into the electronic corrections database system (SDP) including the inmate behavior assessment system for high risk inmates.

AIPJ2 support strategy AIPJ2 provides technical support primarily through The Asia Foundation and through them the CDS.

Activities during the reporting period

Supported by CDS, DGC and the Inspectorate General have developed indicators of achievement to support more effective management of high-risk inmates. Based on these indicators, DGC with support from CDS are currently developing an android based application (assessment tool) to help prison staff in conducting these assessments and provide real time information for further decision making. This android based assessment application is integrated with the inmate treatment assessment system within the electronic database system (Sistem Database Pemasyarakatan-SDP) and currently is in beta version. The application uses the assessment tool that is currently available for high risk inmates, general and juvenile inmates.

Challenges encountered and implications

The development of the android based assessment tools is currently competing with DGC priorities on revitalisation and has resulted in delays in the implementation of this program. AIPJ2 continues to monitor progress and adapt workplans as required.

Other initiatives

Restorative Justice and Disability InclusionIn this reporting period, AIPJ2 supported the implementation of Restorative Justice mechanisms at village level through CSO partners LBH Makassar and Lembaga Perlindungan Anak (LPA) – a child protection CSO – in NTB (in Lombok Utara). LPA NTB has prepared guidance for the police on how to handle juveniles and minor criminal cases using a restorative justice approach. This draws on co-operation with pesantrens (Islamic boarding schools9) to provide vocational and behaviour management skills to juveniles who have committed criminal offences, and help reintegrate them into their communities. The guidance on handling juveniles has been formalised by the release a decree by the Head of the NTB Regional Police – namely Decree No 171 of 2019 on Guidance and Check List in Handling Juvenile Cases. The Decree provides a strengthened legal basis for police officers to implement restorative justice for juvenile cases in line with the Juvenile Criminal Justice System. For ease of access and understanding, the decree is packaged into a pocket book. Experiences from Makassar and Lombok Utara will be made available to the national-level Working Group on Restorative Justice led by BAPPENAS.

The study of PUSHAM UII and SIGAB into disability in the prisons conducted in 2018 (reported in previous reports) led to the inclusion of corrections in the draft Government Regulation on Access to Justice. It was also followed up with a policy brief on how to develop and implement the Disability Services Unit in prisons10. PUSHAM UII is developing a policy brief on disability services units in collaboration with the Ministry of Law and Human Rights regional office of Jogjakarta province and local corrections unit. The collaboration with the local office of the Ministry of Law and Human Rights is consistent with our strategy to encourage and promote best practices from local level to national level.

9 Lombok Utara is predominantly Muslim, but also has other religions represented. Only Muslims are referred to pesantrens as part of LPA’s program.

10 The need for an effective disability services unit in prison was one of the important findings of the study.

AIPJ2 Progress Report1 January to 30 June 2019

Study on drug use amongst inmatesDGC supported by Association of Victims of Addiction (PEKA) conducted research on the effectiveness of imprisonment for drug users. Interviews were conducted with 370 inmates who are drug users in five prisons in Jakarta, Tangerang and Bandung. The research maps out the rehabilitation programs that are being delivered in prison for drug users. The research found that 51 per cent of respondents had used drugs in the last 30 days, and that there was 89 per cent recidivism. It was concluded that prisons are not the appropriate place for rehabilitating drug users. The research also provided evidence that the addiction assessment required by legislation for prisoners following arrest is not being conducted for most drug users. According to the narcotics law, addiction assessment must be held within six days of arrest. Without the addiction assessment, most drug users will be treated as criminals and face lengthy prison sentences. It was recommended that the enforcement of addiction assessment be improved. Given that 70-80 per cent of the prison population are drug users, the implementation of restorative justice for drug users (e.g. alternative sentencing, remission for drug users, and provision of drug rehabilitation programs) is a clear strategy to address prison overcrowding.

The implementation of rehabilitation and restorative justice programs for drug users is in direct contrast to the campaign of Zero Tolerance to Drugs. Discussions with the working group supported by AIPJ2 at the request of BAPPENAS to draft the Restorative Justice concept for the RPJMN are underway to develop political advocacy and messaging strategies to shift policy and politics.

2. Supporting activities

2.3. Partnership development supportThis section of the report focuses on partnership development activities aimed at developing implementing partner capacities.

2.3.1. GEDSI support

> As well as building team capacity on GEDSI, the AIPJ2 GEDSI Manager was invited as resource person to speak about GEDSI to other DFAT programs and CSOs. In April 2019, she was invited by the Australian Volunteers Program as a speaker at their annual international conference in Bali, along with BAPPENAS, to share insights about diversity and inclusion in Indonesia. In the same month, ELSAM invited her to share knowledge on what is GEDSI and how to include GEDSI in policy advocacy. MAMPU has also consulted with AIPJ2 on child marriage and disability inclusion strategy, and AIPJ2 was asked to peer-review MAMPU’s new disability strategy.

> AIPJ2 GEDSI has continued to support the work of other pillars within AIPJ2, particularly Pillar 1 with respect to conducting the study on inclusive courts in Yogyakarta. The GEDSI Manager provided technical inputs to the design and implementation of the study, in collaboration with SIGAB. With respect to Pillar 4, the GEDSI Manager has overseen the study on disability in prisons and follow up work (reported above).

> Under Pillar 1, AIPJ2 is supporting an Indonesian foundation called Yayasan Sebar Inspirasi Indonesia (YSII), to develop a mobile phone application (Wonder Application) for victims of gender-based violence. This application aims to help victims by giving them quick access to support services, including emergency help, legal support and follow-up counselling. The applicaiton also aims to support a network of volunteers and be a source of information on addressing gender-based violence. The concept has in principle support from the police, the Ministry of Information and Technology, the Yogyakarta Regional Leadership, the Ministry of Women's Empowerment and Child Protection, Komnas Permepuan - the National Women's Commission, the Center for Studies of Women and Children of Gadjah Mada University, and others. At present YSII is preparing for the final stage of field trials (in Yogyakarta and Makassar) and finalising the Wonder Mobile App manual and SOP. YSII aims to launch the applicaiton in November 2019.

AIPJ2 Progress Report1 January to 30 June 2019

2.3.2. Strategic communications support

AIPJ2 has continued to implement activities in line with its Communications Strategy. Activities aimed at enhancing implementing partner capacities for “high quality, high reach” communications. This principle of our communications strategy aims to bridge generations of reformers. The first generation of Indonesian reformers post 1998 came from strong academic traditions and focused on evidence based academic research, published in low circulation journals (high quality, low reach). The emerging generation of reformers have high digital and social media capacities, can reach many people over many different geographical areas very quickly, but sometimes sacrifice accuracy for speed of sharing and visual impact (low quality, high reach). Through pairing experienced reformers with emerging reformers in working groups and K-Hub events, supported by partnerships with media and communications organisations such as The Conversation, Maverick, Tempo, Jakarta Post, Kompas, MAFINDO (anti-hoax organisation) and PPMN, AIPJ2 is bridging generations to create high quality, high reach knowledge sharing.

Activities have included the following:

Website accessibility and performanceAIPJ2 website has finished its accessibility assessment based on reference to the World Wide Web Consortium Web Content Accessibility Guidelines in September 2018. The review process used three main tools namely Chromelens (version 0.0.9) for visually impaired sensitive coding and sensitivity, Axe Accessibility (version 2.4.2) to detect defects, and Accessibility Developer Tools by Google (version 3.0.1) to audit element properties’ accessibility. The report has been shared with AIPJ2’s DPO partner SIGAB, for their review and live-test between November 2018 to February 2019. The testing inspired SIGAB to then review their own website and identify features and functions for accessibility improvement. AIPJ2 supported technical consultations between the SIGAB team and a professional website developer from April to July 2019. The consultation resulted in the provision of practical guidelines for SIGAB to improve its website accessibility features and function.

AIPJ2 measures its website performance based on google analytics reports. The user data for July 2018 to June 2019 shows that:

> There were 2,576 new users > The bounce rate was 51per cent, which indicates that around half of users that open the ‘landing page’

then decide to browse further > AIPJ2 traffic performance has been relatively stable throughout the year, although with a small spike in

March 2019 coinciding with the Indonesian elections. > 60 per cent of AIPJ2 website users are in the 18 – 34 years age range, highlighting the importance that

content is designed with the needs of this age group in mind> Of those who identified their sex, an almost equal number of males and females (701 female, 691 male)

are accessing the AIPJ2 website.

Capacity building for journalists in combatting child marriageAIPJ2 conducted a workshop in December 2018 with journalists in South Sulawesi on in-depth reporting of child marriage issues. This activity aimed to expand the network and influence of partners and stakeholders (as one of AIPJ2’s strategic communications objectives). Media, being one of the stakeholders, has a key role in promoting the advocacy work done by South Sulawesi partners and government to prevent child marriage.

Between January and March 2019, AIPJ2 and PPMN/JARING (the media partner) supported five selected journalists from print, online and TV to be part of the fellowship program. The fellowship included close consultation with mentors from PPMN/JARING and field coverage with AIPJ2 partners and stakeholders. The coverage resulting from this fellowship includes:

> https://jaring.id/perkawinan-anak/children-with-children/> https://jaring.id/perkawinan-anak/child-marriage-problems-in-south-sulswesi/> https://jaring.id/perkawinan-anak/village-regulation-on-child-marriage-prevention-brings-hope/> https://jaring.id/perkawinan-anak/alarm-of-child-marriage-in-south-sulawesi-1/

Other capacity building for partnersAIPJ2 continues to build the capacity of partner organisations to communicate their policy advocacy work to wider audiences. On 24-26 April 2019, AIPJ2 organised a workshop with Kompas Institute on narrating change for 15 civil society organisation partners in Jakarta.

This year, AIPJ2 introduced a competitive-based mentoring opportunity. The competitive nature of mentoring will encourage partners to complete the selection criteria (a draft outline and key message) and to fulfill commitment in completing the two mentoring stages conducted between May to August 2019. This year’s mentoring has also been expanded to include podcast and social media learning components, to accelerate partners’ skills in sharing/distributing articles in different formats for different target audiences. Evaluation feedback from participants is available on request.

2.3.3. Knowledge Hub and donor coordination platforms

K-Hub offlineStarting January 2019, the AIPJ2’s offline knowledge sharing session also known as Cakap Kamisan (Thursday Talk), continues to be a regular partnership-focused event that brings partners and development actors together to discuss various topics applicable to justice reform work. The sessions also aim to expand partners networking opportunities with other development actors.

The format of the discussion has evolved into a talk-show format, with a moderator to facilitate interactive discussion with participants (on-site and livestreaming). With this talk-show format, AIPJ2 upholds the importance of providing simple, practical and relevant information for a wide range of audience (from expert to the less technical). This approach captures the essence of the K-Hub tagline (Share to Learn, Learn to Share). AIPJ2 also explores the strategy of combining cross-cutting topics relevant to support organisational activity as well as specific programmatic topics.

From January to June 2019, AIPJ2 conducted 12 Cakap Kamisan sessions. Details of all sessions are provided in Annex 7. The next step for AIPJ2 team is to assess the niche segments and topics, alternate the topics to strengthen the branding of Cakap Kamisan, and improve the quality of each session (number of attendees, interactive level during the session, and feedback questionnaire).

K-Hub onlineKey Indonesian partners play a central role in driving the development of the K-Hub online communities of practice, its functions and content. Four communities of practice are currently being developed, namely for: (i) Judicial Reform – managed by the IJRF and coordinated by LEIP; (ii) Anti-Corruption – managed by Saya Perampuan Anti Korupsi Indonesia (SPAK Indonesia); (iii) PVE – managed by AMAN at this stage; and (iv) Law and Security – jointly managed by the Australian Department of Home Affairs and the Indonesian Coordinating Ministry for Political, Security and Legal Affairs.

Each of these Hubs aims to support knowledge sharing among members of the communities of practice. For example, the Law and Security Hub aims to provide a searchable online library of publicly available materials, such as bilateral treaties, legal instruments and reports on shared issues of concern.

Technical support in establishing the on-line platforms is being provided by Saraswati. While the technical elements of the platforms are expected to be established in 2019, it will take much longer to see whether or not these communities are viable and sustainable without ongoing donor support.

24

Page 34: Executive Summary · Web viewThe AFP facilitated the second Quad-Lateral Working Group meeting in March 2019, involving participants from Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar and Thailand

AIPJ2 Progress Report1 January to 30 June 2019

A key challenge for each of the online Hubs will be ensuring regular updates of quality content as issues and documentation evolve.

BAPPENAS donor coordination platformThis on-line platform is being developed to help BAPPENAS (in this case the Directorate of Law and Regulation) coordinate the work of development partners involved in the justice and security sectors. This platform is currently on an external domain during development but, after testing, will be hosted on the BAPPENAS.go.id domain and be fully managed by BAPPENAS. AIPJ2 supports the development of this platform with technical assistance to BAPPENAS through Saraswati and AIPJ2 consultant, Wiwiek Awiati and is expected to be launched in August 2019. However, the main challenge will be to ensure donors provide accurate and up to date data on an ongoing basis. BAPPENAS can impose discipline on donors to follow the Regulation on Development Co-operation, which requires transparency of reporting, and ensure sustainability by allocating recurrent resources for its management and maintenance, and expanding its use at very little additional cost to other GoI partners such as BNPT.

2.3.4. Monitoring, evaluation and learning

Reflections and reporting: Quarterly reflection sessions with CSO implementing partners were again held in March / April 2019. A total of eight reflection sessions were held, involving a total of 25 CSO implementing partners (with TAF representing five of those partners) There were 125 participants from implementing partners, consisting of 66 males and 59 females. Feedback from partners again indicated a generally high level of satisfaction with the utility of the quarterly reflection process (70 per cent of them stated that it is very useful, and a further 28 per cent stated that is useful).

To reflect the maturing relationships and increased capacity amongst partners, it was decided to change to six monthly reflections. CSO partners will be encouraged to organise their own internal quarterly reflection sessions (based on what they had learned from previous sessions led by AIPJ2), and use the results to prepare their quarterly reports to AIPJ2. This change in approach seems to be working, with a number of CSO partners organising their own internal reflections in June 2019, prior to submitting their quarterly reports.

Starting in December 2019, AIPJ2 will instead organise six-monthly reflection sessions. These sessions will have a more strategic and outcomes-based focus, and feed more directly in to our six-monthly analysis and reporting process. It is currently expected that we will organise three reflection sessions in December 2019, one to cover each of Pillar 1, 3 and 4 partners. We will also talk to DFAT about the possibility of facilitating a six-monthly reflection session with Pillar 2 GoA partners. GEDSI will be mainstreamed into all reflection sessions.

PVE review:AIPJ2 undertook an internal review of support for PVE in March/April 2019 (see recommendations above under Pillar 3). A draft report was submitted to DFAT in late April, and a meeting scheduled with stakeholders in early July to discuss the report’s key findings and recommendations, and identify implications for forward planning. We also await the findings of DFAT’s independent mid-term review to feed in to the update of our PVE strategy and our annual work plan for 2020.

New Activity Statement development and other MEL support for partners:Effective MEL is supported by sound activity design. We have therefore provided support (through SOLIDARITAS) for the preparation of new Activity Statements by WF, TII and SPAK Indonesia.

SOLIDARITAS has also supported GoA agencies by: (a) providing technical support to the Maritime Capacity Building Initiative program design and MEL framework, separating it from AIPJ2 but with consistent principles; and (b) providing access to their MEL training course in July. At this stage, three GoA staff have confirmed that they will join the training; Justin Butler (DFAT), Zoe Anderton (AUSTRAC), Kartika Cahyani (Transport Security).

25

Page 35: Executive Summary · Web viewThe AFP facilitated the second Quad-Lateral Working Group meeting in March 2019, involving participants from Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar and Thailand

AIPJ2 Progress Report1 January to 30 June 2019

A meeting was held in April at the Australian Embassy with the Australian Border Force and Australian Federal Police to discuss evaluation of their training programs. Advice was provided on evaluation methods (primarily the use of the Kirkpatrick model), and on how to design and conduct such evaluations as capacity development initiatives with GoI partner agencies.

Performance assessment framework reporting to DFATAIPJ2 submitted its Performance assessment framework milestone progress report and results workbook to DFAT in April. Pillar 2 training data was also provided to feed in to DFAT’s Aggregate Development Results reporting.

2.3.5. Management Information System (MIS)

During February 2019, AIPJ2 visited each of the CSO partners to socialise the online MIS reporting functions and simulate the monthly and quarterly reporting requirements and flows. Reporting compliance by CSO implementing partners is generally very good, with (on average) 90 per cent of the 20 CSO partners submitting all their monthly reports between January and June. AIPJ2 also provided support for the DFAT team (three females) on how to access and use the system.

2.2. Foundational activitiesAIPJ2 continues to place emphasis on ensuring that the team has the systems, skills and incentives in place to effectively manage the program and support implementing partners to deliver results.

Foundational activities implemented during the reporting period have included:

> Ongoing technical refinement of the MIS with support from Saraswati> AIPJ2 team retreat in March 2019. During the two day retreat: (i) AIPJ2 staff received GEDSI training

through interactive methods and role plays; (ii) updates to the Operations Manual were reviewed and socialised; (iii) updates to the MEL Framework were discussed; (iv) the Communications Strategy was reviewed; and (v) team building activities were carried out with support of Inspirit.

> AIPJ2 staff performance assessments were carried out> Following the team training discussions and performance review feedback, the team organisational

structure has been adjusted in a number of areas. Further information is provided in Annex 4. > The MEL Framework was updated and discussed with DFAT, but it was agreed to review further

following the mid-term review findings, and submit a new version then> In May, the first batch of Performance Bonus Individual Development Opportunities applications were

reviewed and finalised. Applications were received from a cross-section of AIPJ2 team members, junior to senior, technical and operations. Key counterparts from BAPPENAS and BNPT were also selected to enrol on training courses with AIPJ2 team members. The total performance bonus received was A$60,000, with approximately A$35,000 utilised for 2019 and approximately A$25,000 has been kept aside for further individual and team development opportunities in 2020.

> CSO implementing partner performance assessments were carried out> Regular team meetings were held to share ideas and information on program management issues; > Deloitte, on behalf of DFAT, undertook a ‘Due Diligence Assessment of Cardno Jakarta’ in mid -March.

They reviewed the overall Cardno corporate operations and AIPJ2 was selected as one of the Indonesian programs to be assessed. Areas that were assessed included fraud management, recruitment, financial management policies, and awareness of DFAT policies. We await feedback on the recommendations.

> AIPJ2 budgets and expenditure were monitored to help ensure expenditure targets and financial management compliance requirements were met. As of 30 June 2019, AIPJ2 had expended 100% of its allocated annual budget.

AIPJ2’s current staffing is shown at Annex 4, and a summary of expenditure at Annex 5. AIPJ2 has 28 long term staff – seven males (32 per cent) and 19 females (68 per cent), 18 short term national advisers – 14 males and four females and six short term international advisers (two males and four females). The number of international advisers will reduce by two (females) in the next period.

26

Page 36: Executive Summary · Web viewThe AFP facilitated the second Quad-Lateral Working Group meeting in March 2019, involving participants from Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar and Thailand

AIPJ2 Progress Report1 January to 30 June 2019

In terms of expenditure per pillar, over the six-month period, from highest to lowest: Pillar 1 (29 per cent); Pillar 3 (27 per cent); Pillar 2 (24 per cent); Pillar 4 (12 per cent) and Partnership Development (eight per cent).

Overall efficiency11 for this six-month period is calculated at 90 per cent, which is still the same proportion as per the previous six months. AIPJ2 maintains this very high level of efficiency because of a low reliance on international advisers and streamlined operating costs.

3. Summary of implementation challenges

In the previous Six Monthly report, a number of implementation challenges were identified, which are followed up here, with other management risks identified in the Risk Management Matrix (See Annex 6).

Daily contact and monthly dashboard meetings continue to ensure implementation challenges are managed adaptively in close consultation with DFAT, BAPPENAS and our other partners. Some revision of roles within the team, following performance reviews, is also helping, as are initiatives within DFAT to improve communication and integration.

There has been progress on the three primary implementation challenges:

1. Sustainability - building independenceAIPJ2’s CSO partners are improving their organisational management and attracting other funding, allowing AIPJ2 to move into a convening, consulting and capacity building role. Our team members continues to work closely with partners, but are less directly engaged in organisational and financial management processes and more engaged in mentoring and capacity building. AIPJ2 has encouraged collaboration between partners to divide work according to their comparative advantage. This has improved partner efficiency and effectiveness and freed up time for their staff to increase their capacity by attending and contributing to knowledge sharing events.

The next challenge is to build confidence and capacity in staff recruited by GoI partners in recent recruitment campaigns, especially in BAPPENAS, BNPT and Ministry of Law and Human Rights and the National Human Rights Commission (KOMNAS HAM) to work and learn with civil society partners. AIPJ2 is utilising the K-Hub, field visits and special events to bring GoI and CSOs together for learning and information exchange.

There is still some conservatism among GoI partners to engage with civil society partners. AIPJ2, BAPPENAS and partners like the Supreme Court can share experience on how CSOs can be effective critics, service providers and advocates for change as “external partners” but also bring capacity to GoI partners as “internal partners”. Internal partners such as LeIP, MaPPI, PSHK, CDS and TII have been highly effective with the courts, DGC and KPK. WF is working as an internal partner with BNPT on the national PVE planning.

2. Communication and Co-ordination with GoIRecent changes in BAPPENAS have clarified Director governance responsibilities for AIPJ2, enabling more direct and regular communication, particularly in relation to Pillar 2 and 3. The engagement of BAPPENAS teams in field visits and open discussions has also improved communication. It is the preference of BAPPENAS for the governance arrangements for Pillar 2 to be consistent with other pillars, so that they comply with development assistance regulations. The Director for Defence and Security is now in regular contact with the AIPJ2 Team Leader and will take a more active role in the 2020 Annual Work Plan and will facilitate AIPJ2’s engagement with BNPT, which is becoming more direct, but continues to be sensitive. The Director has agreed to co-lead the opening session at the PVE Partner Update with BNPT and AIPJ2 in July, and will attend the AIPJ2 Partnership Board mid-year meeting in August.

3. Implementation of the K Hub The K-Hub has delivered the MIS, which is now being used by partners to deliver implementation progress reports and by AIPJ2 team members to consolidate these into monthly and six monthly reports. The co-

11 AIPJ2 efficiency has been calculated as the percentage of total expenditure spent on activities. Key personnel costs have been apportioned between activities and operations.

27

AIPJ2 Progress Report1 January to 30 June 2019

ordination platform for BAPPENAS will be launched in August and demonstrated to BNPT as an option of managing PVE projects across donor and CSO partners.

The knowledge sharing communities continue to be active in generating content and confirming final design features. The Law and Security Hub has been the least active because GoI members were fully occupied with the national elections, but it has joint Ministerial commitment, so design work has continued, content has been provided and members will meet at AIPJ2 in July to participate in a demonstration, with an aim of launching later in the year at the Joint Ministers Meeting. Within the PVE community, the Women and CVE Group has been leading.

There are also two innovative applications being developed under the K-Hub which have progressed through design to testing stages – Signinteraktif – an application for people to access sign language interpreting services online, and Wonder application, described above under GEDSI supporting activities.

4. Changes in Political Economy

The AIPJ2 team has reviewed the operating context and identified the following changes in the political economy relevant to AIPJ2:

4.1. Indonesian context

Indonesian post-election politics Indonesia has now passed through a period of heightened political tension, which started with the 212 movement rallies in 2016 and erupted into political violence on 21-23 May 2019, following the announcement of the national election result, with riots in Jakarta causing eight deaths and hundreds of injuries.

The Jakarta Composite Index dropped sharply a week after the election, when it was clear the result would be contested, but bounced back after the riots were contained, to approximately the level it was pre-election. The incumbent President Joko Widodo was returned and appears to be forming a formidable coalition in the legislature, including some parties from the opposition. The divisive campaign, which saw both sides competing over Islamic and nationalist identities, seems to be giving way to reconciliation at the elite level, which should enable the returning Widodo administration to continue pursuing its national development program, with a strong emphasis on infrastructure and human resources development.

AIPJ2 response: Investigate opportunities through targeted research of elements of society disappointed by election results, and therefore vulnerable to political and extremist violence, to remain engaged with state institutions and the democratic process. Reach out to any new officials in key areas of AIPJ2 interest following the formation of a new Cabinet and administration in October. Provide pre-emptive support and guidance for partners to mitigate any effects of distrust or fake news during the electoral campaign period.

Counter-Terrorism Legislation and ReturneesLast year's counter-terrorism law has enabled authorities to expand the reach and scope of arrests. Police have used the law to disrupt suspected planning of terrorist violence, including the recent arrest of the leader of regional terrorist network Jemaah Islamiyah. Police are also successfully limiting the means available for ISIL supporters to carry out attacks; an attempted suicide bombing in Central Java earlier this year did not even kill the bomber.

The law has also contributed to a broader range of offences being framed as 'terrorism', which could erode trust in counter-terrorism authorities if used inappropriately. Some scepticism has already emerged during the recent campaign period and its aftermath, where authorities appeared to place some opposition groups in the same category as terrorists, muddying the waters between violent extremism, non-violent anti-state activities, vigilantism and legitimate democratic protests. A focus in AIPJ2 and partner advocacy on human rights remains important, not just as a demonstration of principle, but as a direct prevention initiative, given that most terrorist attacks in Indonesia have been motivated by revenge against police and other authorities.

AIPJ2 Progress Report1 January to 30 June 2019

The fall of ISIL's last territory in Syria triggered a large outflow of refugees, many of whom are women and children and some of whom remain radicalised. Around 300 Indonesian citizens in temporary camps or prisons in northern Syria are expected to return to Indonesia, presenting authorities with the dual challenge of rehabilitating those with extremist views so they do not commit violent acts or influence others, while also protecting returnees from discrimination by local communities.

The increasingly central role of the BNPT has meant more opportunities for AIPJ2 to engage with BNPT – culminating in BNPT co-hosting AIPJ2's recent PVE update.

AIPJ2 response: CSO engagement to advocate appropriate application of counterterrorism laws and encouraging partners working on social cohesion issues to continue working on issues around intolerance. Continued outreach and support for BNPT, particularly in the development of partner coordination and knowledge sharing platforms. Providing support for government and non-government partners working on returnee issues, in anticipation of a potential influx over the next six -12 months.

Constitutional Court decision on child marriage In December, the Constitutional Court ruled that the current Marriage Law specifying a legal marriage age of 16 for girls and 19 for boys was unconstitutional in that it was discriminatory against girls and led to abuse of human rights in terms of physical safety and access to education and health. The decision directs the Parliament to change the law within three years or it will be deemed to have been changed. It is unclear whether the Constitutional Court is overstepping its mandate in deeming a law to be changed, as the power for law making rests with the Parliament, usually at the request of the Government.

AIPJ2 response: AIPJ2 has engaged consultants to support the Women's Empowerment and Child Protection Ministry and BAPPENAS to draft a National Strategy on Prevention of Child Marriage, incorporating policy change required to change the law and protect girls from harm. This will be included in the Medium Term Development Plan by the incoming Jokowi Government in October.

Legislative rush before new parliament inaugurated The current parliament is pushing through long-delayed bills before their term ends in October. While this may lead to the passing of the Criminal Procedure Code and the Corrections Bill to enable important reforms, there is a risk that laws will be rushed through with last minute compromises.

AIPJ2 response: AIPJ2 is engaging with Komisi 3, the Parliamentary Commission responsible for considering laws related to the justice system, through direct briefings.

4.2. Australia context

National electionsAustralia’s national elections in 2019 had limited impact on AIPJ2. The result was unexpected by many and instead of having an increase to the aid budget promised by the opposition, the cuts to the aid budget announced by the government before the election have now been implemented.

AIPJ2 response: The proposed activity to increase capacity for investigation and prosecution of crimes involving natural resources required additional budget, which is not available. The activity will need to be re-examined within the reduced budget context and assessed by the Partnership Board against other priorities.

Changes to the Australian CourtsThe Australian Courts have been implementing the most significant restructuring they have seen through the merging of administrative and corporate support functions, including information technology systems, of the Federal Court, Federal Circuit Court and Family Court of Australia. The Federal Court of Australia is now responsible for providing these services to all courts. AIPJ2’s Federal Court counterparts have been leading this restructuring, on top of major case management reform, so their availability for court to court work has been limited.

AIPJ2 response: AIPJ2 has maintained contact with the Federal Court to time our work supporting court to court co-operation to reach a stage where both courts could discuss it directly during a visit between 16-19

June by Chief Justice Allsop and Chief Executive Officer Warwick Soden. Both were able to share their experiences of current Australian court restructuring with the Supreme Court leadership, who are also considering the extent of and approach to restructuring required within their institution.

5. AIPJ2 Forward Strategy

AIPJ2 has continued an adaptive approach to strategy and overall management. Reporting by partners through the MIS generates the Monthly Dashboard report which supports discussions with DFAT and BAPPENAS. Quarterly reflections with partners have now been organised by strategies, so different partners come together in their reflection and learning process. This shift to a more strategic level has led us to review the regularity of reflections, with a consensus reached to move to six monthly intervals. November-December reflections will inform the end of year report (submitted at the end of January) and support DFAT’s Quality at Implementation assessments in March. May-June reflections will feed into the midyear report (submitted at the end of July) and support AIPJ2’s Annual Work Plan and BAPPENAS evaluation and planning processes.

In addition to the regular reflections and reviews, AIPJ2’s Mid-Term Review team started their consultations and the AIPJ2 team have been contributing through detailed interviews and discussions on strategic priorities and processes to ensure adaptive management. Strategic priorities are being examined by the review to ensure alignment with GoI and GoA political priorities, including a renewed emphasis on human rights.

The Justice for Women and Girls strategy was updated to reflect discussions with the Aceh Government and now includes a draft workplan, which is expected to be finalised with the Aceh Government in late July. The involvement of the Deputy Head of Mission, Australian Embassy in discussions with the heads of section in the Aceh Government accelerated the process of engagement, although there will be continuing challenges to our engagement as elements of the Government promote policies which discriminate against women and girls. The workplan provides a clear and agreed basis for engagement, but our relationships in Aceh remain sensitive. The activities will only move ahead and continue if there is a shared commitment with senior officials in the government in Aceh.

As part of the Justice for Women and Girls strategy, work on child marriage is now being integrated into the GoI National Strategy to Prevent Child Marriage, co-ordinated by BAPPENAS. Similarly, under the Court to Court co-operation and following case analysis research conducted by AIPJ2, the Supreme Court is adopting recommendations for judges hearing marriage dispensation cases. There may be a need for further advocacy from AIPJ2 and partners if GoI strategy or Court regulations fall short in protecting the rights of women and girls.

PVE strategies were examined explicitly in the internal PVE review conducted from March to June. Updates on each strategy were also provided to partners, BAPPENAS, DFAT and the Mid-Term review team. The key recommendations, to be discussed with partners in early July, are summarised as follows:

> Further promote and develop linkages between the work of Pillars 1, 3 and 4 on two main issues, namely Restorative Justice and Community Based Corrections

> Clarify arrangements for administering the PVE community of the online K Hub and BNPT coordination platform, now that the AIPJ2 team is engaged more directly with BNPT. The AIPJ2 team prepared a draft concept note for BNPT on co-ordination and knowledge sharing which has been adapted by BNPT counterparts and submitted to their leadership for consideration

> Review if the geographic focus on Solo, Bima and Poso is supported by evidence of vulnerability and evidence of effectiveness of AIPJ2 activities, following research from AIDA and PUSAD Paramadina and consultations with BNPT on strategic prevention priorities

> Review if the balance of support within the PVE pyramid - between direct disengagement from violence among high risk individuals and groups and peace building/social cohesion activities within communities vulnerable to extremism – reflects the strategic priorities of GoI and GoA

> Establish a peer review process in identifying and ensuring the right quality and tone of research and other knowledge products, with the “high quality-high reach” principle in mind.

Page 40: Executive Summary · Web viewThe AFP facilitated the second Quad-Lateral Working Group meeting in March 2019, involving participants from Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar and Thailand

AIPJ2 Progress Report1 January to 30 June 2019

There is increasing synergy between corrections reform and restorative justice strategies to address overcrowding and redesign the justice system in a form more compatible with Indonesian society. CSO partners engaged through The Asia Foundation, like CDS, LBH Makassar and PEKA are now engaging more directly with the AIPJ2 team and other partners. TAF requested AIPJ2 to take over direct contracting of PEKA, AIPJ2 has contracted LBH Makassar directly, we have agreed to contract PUSHAM UII directly because of their relevance for disability inclusion to all aspects of the criminal justice system, and recently CDS has requested informally direct contracting with AIPJ2. This raises questions about the ongoing efficiency of having separate pillars for Pillar 1 and 4 and engaging The Asia Foundation to subcontract CDS and manage the corrections reform program. The quality of advice from The Asia Foundation team, through the Senior Manager, remains timely and relevant and the team continues to maintain the confidence of DGC, BAPPENAS and DFAT but there are efficiency concerns and recent budget cuts require us to find internal savings. This issue will be reflected in the Mid Term Review, therefore any decision for change will be delayed until that is available.

Anti-corruption strategy remains aligned with the National Anti-Corruption Strategy, but engagement with the KPK is tentative until the new Commissioners are selected and commence in December. In the meantime, AIPJ2 is supporting TII to support the integrity of the Commissioner selection process and conduct a small number of events. The AIPJ2 team is also exploring opportunities with ABF to use our channels and approaches to prioritise corruption prevention among immigration border officers, given that corruption is negating the impact of technical capacity building activities. The ABF has seen positive progress in the integrity of customs border officers, so communicating positive examples will be part of the strategy.

Australia- Indonesia Transport Security Cooperation Program

Program aims to achieve a high standard of operational consistency, regulatory frameworks and governance arrangements to ensure the application of security measures for aviation and maritime transportation is consistent, meets international requirements and is proportionate and appropriate for Indonesia.

Home Affairs engages closely with other Governments, partner agencies, peak international bodies such as ICAO and industry, where possible, to deliver collaborative capacity building activities using best practice expertise in Indonesia. Fostering collaboration between the aviation and maritime communities, including government and industry stakeholders, will achieve a more streamlined and efficient approach to addressing regulatory and operational deficiencies in the Indonesian transport system.

To achieve this the AIAEP will conduct two intensive, real time financial intelligence exchanges to support priority law enforcement operations. It will entail analysts from AUSTRAC and PPATK working in Australia and Indonesia (and potentially a third country) collaboratively on a final intelligence product and in doing so share latest systems capabilities, methodologies and techniques. This will provide interactive learning in a real time environment

The AIAEP also proposes the secondment of an AUSTRAC analyst to PPATK for a period of three months. This person would shape and drive the analyst exchange sand provide on the ground analytical training and support to ensure learnings from the exchanges are understood and any operational recommendations implemented

Annex 4 AIPJ2 staffing and technical advisersChanges in organisational arrangementsFollowing the team discussions and performance review feedback, the team organisational structure has been adjusted in a number of areas: i) the Knowledge Management Officer was not extended as the position now requires stronger digital online skills. A Digital Content Officer was recruited and commenced at the end of June; ii) automated operational systems were established so a more junior Office Operations Support Officer is now being recruited as a replacement of the previous Office Administration Manager to provide administrative and logistical support; iii) The Makassar Office has been granted stronger autonomy and management responsibility for their own activities with Husaimah Husain becoming an Activity Manager (previously Provincial Coordinator) for the activities that are implemented in South Sulawesi and Helviana Pasang becoming the Activity Coordinator (previously Office Coordinator). The Makassar office will directly manage their own activities with technical support from relevant activity managers in Jakarta.

Annex 5 Financial summary

AIPJ2 has an FY18/19 annual allocated budget of AU$9,425,906. By the end of FY 18/19 on 30 June 2019, AIPJ2 has fully expended the allocated budget to within just 0.003% variance. The total expenditure is A$9,426,186, just A$280 over the allocated budget.

Pillar 1 - incl Disability 1,049K (29%)

Pillar 2868K(24%)

Pillar 3963K(27%)

Pillar 4444K(12%)

Partnership Dev't279K (8%)

Expenses Figure per PillarJan - June 19

Expenditure per Pillar over the six-month period is illustrated above and denotes from highest to lowest: Pillar 1 (29 per cent ); Pillar 3 (27 per cent ); Pillar 2 (24 per cent); Pillar 4 (12 per cent), and Partnership Development (8 per cent).

AIPJ2 efficiency has been calculated as the percentage of total expenditure spent on activities. Key personnel salaries have been apportioned between activities and operations. Overall efficiency for this six-month period is calculated at 90 per cent, which is still the same proportion as per the previous six months. AIPJ2 maintains this very high level of efficiency illustrative of the low reliance on international advisers and the streamlined operating costs.

Annex 6 Risk register

Category Impact L C Rating Mitigation

Overarching

Risk

Partners come under direct political attack which negatively impacts their public credibility. It may also generate accusations that AIPJ2 and the Australian Government is expressing political bias.

No longer a risk No longer a risk

The Constitutional Court ruled in favour of the election result. The opposition accepted the verdict. This risk can now be revised.The ongoing risk (see Context Update) is that supporters of the opposition feel “cheated” by the election result after having their expectations raised and continue their fight against the government, potentially linking up with extremist influences. The election gave them further opportunity to organise and recruit supporters, who will now be impatient to express their ambitions.A proposal to consider research into this risk has been submitted to DFAT.

Reduced risk.Risk to be revised and moved to PVE for ongoing monitoring

Budget reductions result in more short term and conservative programming

Activities which are innovative and more visionary are not supported and there is insufficient attention to sustainability and impact

No longer a risk No longer a risk

The responses by DFAT to AIPJ2 programming recommendations have been very positive, protecting flexibility. The MTR also indicated support for a planning horizon linked to the GOI Medium Term Development Plan (5 years)

Reduced risk.Risk to be revised and moved to PVE for ongoing monitoring

AIPJ2 and partners are not applying policies and procedures to ensure child protection

Children are put at risk by AIPJ2 activities

Rare Major Moderate AIPJ2 has been found by DFAT’s audit on child protection to be implementing child protection policies and practices, but there is scope for further strengthening through greater management attention and partner oversight.

New risk (added as a recommendation of Child Protection Audit)

Decision by GoI on policy changes delayed due to attention being focused on elections

Implementation of disability regulations, changes to marriage law and other key policy changes delayed because of awaiting final election results

Likely Minor Moderate No change – until inauguration Government is not able to pass regulations. AIPJ2 continues to engage with Government and CSO partners to progress drafting so they can be passed as soon as possible after the Government is inaugurated. Inclusive justice relies on these regulations but pilots continue in courts and prisons.

No change

Pillar 1 Aceh Government not willing to engage in AIPJ2 on the justice for women and girl’s strategy work

AIPJ2 and Family Court are not able to support reforms requested by the Mahkamah Syar’ia, CSOs and the Office for Women and Children

Unlikely Major Moderate Generally positive response to the workplan but conservative moves to legalise polygamy in Aceh indicate a lack of commitment to pro-women policy.Meeting with Government now scheduled for 29 July, until that meeting risk level is unchanged.

No change.

Corruption prevention program not transitioning smoothly to align with new GoI Anti-Corruption priorities

AIPJ2 not able to support new strategic priorities in corruption prevention and loses influence in KPK

Unlikely Major Moderate Engagement with the KPK, while still close, is superficial until the new Commissioners are appointed. Several of the strong current Commissioners have nominated for selection, which is positive for AIPJ2 continuity.

No change

AIPJ2 Progress Report1 January to 30 June 2019

Category Impact L C Rating Mitigation

Pillar 2 BAPPENAS questions governance of Pillar 2 activities because they do not align with Director responsibilities

Tensions between BAPPENAS, AIPJ2 and DFAT about the balance between security and justice assistance creating strains in the Partnership

Unlikely Minor Low A very open meeting was held with Ibu Hesti and BAPPENAS Directorates, in which this was discussed directly and documented through email. Pak Dewo, the relevant Director for P2 and P3 has been subsequently engaged and is responsible for P2 and P3. The PVE Update event provided the opportunity to secure this engagement, after months of trying unsuccessfully.DFAT has also commenced weekly internal meetings with GOA P2 partners, with AIPJ2 TL attending once a month. AIPJ2 held an information session with P2 partners on 11 July which led to two proposals for integrated approaches: one on corruption prevention in immigration border officials with ABF and another on policy reform with Home Affairs (Transport). Home Affairs (Legal) are already well integrated and activities mainstreamed into P1 and P3. Pillar 4 and Pillar 1 should be merged given they both report to Ibu Hesti and link into the restorative justice and integrated criminal justice agendas of the GoI.

Reduced risk

Pillar 3 PVE grant activities expose Australia and Indonesia Government to criticism and reputational damage

AIPJ2 could be accused of being a foreign intervention and GoI may be reluctant to engage with AIPJ2 on PVE.

Unlikely Minor Low BAPPENAS (Pak Dewo, Pak Wariki and Ibu Hesti) all attended the PVE Update, co-hosted by BAPPENAS, BNPT and DFAT, organised by AIPJ2. Pak Dewo outlined how PVE fitted in the GoI Defence and Security strategy. Pak Andika (BNPT) outlined how GOI intended to co-ordinate work with civil society and development partners and thanked AIPJ2 for assistance in developing the concept note and platforms for knowledge sharing and co-ordination. The risk still exists but remains low, and is more of an opportunity for significant reform.

No Change

Partnership Development

Knowledge hub project delayed because of difficulties in securing partner engagement

Mixed impact – will delay utilisation but will increase engagement and future utilisation. May require amendments to supplier contract.

Unlikely Minor Low Law and Security Hub K-Hub design has continued without involvement of GOI partners but they have indicated they are happy to engage once a demonstration model is ready.BAPPENAS raised concerns at the PVE Planning day about potential duplication of various “knowledge hubs” so that needs to be considered and managed. Duplication is a risk if it fragments knowledge and creates cost inefficiency.

No change
