Legal Reform    

The project will focus on training of judges, increasing transparency of courts, and increasing public awareness of how the courts work.   

The European Commission (EC) and the government of Indonesia joinly fund the Good Governance in the Indonesia Judiciary project. We are contracted by the EC to deliver technical assistant to this project. This is aimed at supporting the implementation of the Mahkamah Agung’s (MA, Supreme Court’s) Blueprint for Reform (2002). The Blueprint is a culmination of reform efforts within the MA and constitutes an integrated reform policy applying to the Indonesian judiciary as a whole. The Blueprint also supports Law No 35/1999 and Law No 4/2004 which mandate that all responsibilities for the judiciary be fully transferred from the Ministry of Justice to the Supreme Court under the “One Roof System”. The European Commission has entrusted us to implement this Technical Assistance effort within the MA and under the guidance of a MA  appointed Project Director.

Our objective is to support good governance and democratisation by strengthening the institutional capacity of the judiciary in Indonesia.
