On Monday, August 15, USAID Indonesia Integrity Initiative Program (USAID INTEGRITAS) gathered 25 Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) in Jakarta to discuss key challenges and top priorities for inclusion in the upcoming National Strategy on Corruption Prevention (Stranas PK) 2023-24. 

USAID INTEGRITAS is a five-year program implemented by KEMITRAAN, in a consortium with Indonesia Corruption Watch (ICW), Transparency International Indonesia (TI-I) and the Basel Institute on Governance. The program supports the government of Indonesia (GOI) in its corruption prevention efforts through enhancing civic engagement and strengthening a culture of integrity for both the public and private sectors. 

Every two years, the Indonesian government – represented by the Ministry of Home Affairs, Ministry of Bureaucratic and Administrative Reform, National Development Planning Agency, Presidential Staff Office, and the Corruption Eradication Commission – develops a new Stranas PK to guide collaborative, whole-of-government initiatives to combat and prevent corruption. But more than a government-driven initiative, this process and its underpinning regulations, also provide a strategic role for CSO input.

In line with its a dual-tracked approach of systems strengthening and public engagement, USAID INTEGRITAS facilitated CSOs to provide input on programming to address systemic corruption vulnerabilities and conflicts of interest based on their rich experience and extensive field research.

This forum also had a valuable opportunity with the presence of Pahala Nainggolan, Deputy for Prevention and Monitoring of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK). Pahala conveyed the direction related to role of CSOs in Stranas PK. “The role of CSOs is important in communicating the actions of Stranas PK so it creates an urgent need from the community to accelerate the program implementation,” said Pahala. 

In addition, CSOs can also play a role in program implementation or execution since planning to implementation. “It is hope that CSOs can take part in monitoring and evaluation whether the Stranas PK has achieved its targets and impacted to the community,” he added. 

Dondy Sentya, USAID Indonesia Senior Rule of Law Advisor stated that USAID fully supports this program. “USAID fully supports the INTEGRITAS Program to supports the Indonesian government to continuously promoting corruption prevention through strengthening a culture of integrity in the public and private sectors that includes enhancing public participation. Stranas PK is a strategic government initiative to coordinate collaborative prevention efforts among important actors to prevent corruption in Indonesia, and an instrument for civil society to play their importants roles in preventing corruption. I hope this forum can run well and all of you can contribute. We are waiting for the results of your contributions,” said Dondy.

The Executive Director of KEMITRAAN, Laode M. Syarif, who also attended this forum expressed his appreciation to the KPK for providing direction in the forum with different CSOs as a part of reflection towards the Stranas PK 2021-2022. “I thank you for all the support that has been conveyed by the KPK to the INTEGRITAS team at KEMITRAAN. In this context to hold a meeting with CSOs to reflect on the current Stranas PK that will end in 2022. Therefore, we need to reflect on achievements and obstacles of Stranas PK implementation,” said Laode.  

Laode added that through this forum, the participants were also be able to receive directions from KPK regarding the contribution of CSOs in order to enrich the materials for the development of the Stranas PK 2023-2024.

The participants discussed in three groups of sectors which are: 

1. The group of natural resources, forestry, marine and fishery; 

2. The group of state planning and budgeting, social assistance, village funds, human resources; 

3. The group of bureaucratic reform, national police, supreme court, Government Internal Supervisory Apparatus-Aparat Pengawas Internal Pemerintah (APIP) and political parties. 

Each group was encouraged to discuss strategic solutions including the potential role of CSOs in resolving corruption issues in each of those areas.

USAID INTEGRITAS with the support of all participants in the CSO forum, identified initial priority areas for inclusion in the Stranas PK 2023-2024, which will be further examined through a series of Focus Group Discussions. The final CSO recommendation of Action Plan will be submitted to the Stranas PK secretariat by October.

Pada bulan Maret 2016, KEMITRAAN menerima akreditasi internasional dari Adaptation Fund. Dewan Adaptation Fund, dalam pertemuannya yang ke-27, memutuskan untuk mengakreditasi KEMITRAAN sebagai National Implementing Entity (NIE) dari Adaptation Fund. KEMITRAAN menjadi lembaga pertama dan satu-satunya lembaga Indonesia yang terakreditasi sebagai NIE Adaptation Fund di Indonesia.

Perjanjian ini ditandatangani antara Green Climate Fund (GCF) dan KEMITRAAN. Perjanjian ini meresmikan akuntabilitas KEMITRAAN dalam melaksanakan proyek-proyek yang disetujui oleh GCF.

 

Untuk diketahui, GCF adalah dana khusus terbesar di dunia yang membantu negara-negara berkembang untuk mengurangi emisi gas rumah kaca dan meningkatkan kemampuan mereka dalam merespons perubahan iklim.

 

Dana ini dihimpun oleh Konvensi Kerangka Kerja PBB tentang Perubahan Iklim (UNFCCC) pada tahun 2010. GCF memiliki peran penting dalam mewujudkan Perjanjian Paris, yakni mendukung tujuan untuk menjaga kenaikan suhu global rata-rata di bawah 2 derajat celsius.

2000-2003

KEMITRAAN memainkan peran krusial dalam mendukung pengembangan undang-undang untuk membentuk KPK. Hal ini diikuti dengan langkah mendukung Pemerintah dan DPR dalam memilih calon komisioner yang kompeten dan juga mendukung kelompok masyarakat sipil untuk mengawasi secara kritis proses seleksinya. Setelah komisioner ditunjuk, mereka meminta KEMITRAAN untuk membantu mendesain kelembagaan dan rekrutmen awal KPK, serta memainkan peran sebagai koordinator donor. Sangat jelas bahwa KEMITRAAN memainkan peran kunci dalam mendukung KPK untuk mengembangkan kapasitas dan strategi yang diperlukan agar dapat bekerja seefektif mungkin.

Pada tahun 2003, KEMITRAAN menjadi badan hukum yang independen yang terdaftar sebagai Persekutuan Perdata Nirlaba. Pada saat itu, KEMITRAAN masih menjadi program yang dikelola oleh UNDP hingga akhir tahun 2009. Sejak awal tahun 2010, KEMITRAAN mengambil alih tanggung jawab dan akuntabilitas penuh atas program-program dan perkembangannya.

Kemitraan bagi Pembaruan Tata Kelola Pemerintahan, atau KEMITRAAN, didirikan pada tahun 2000 setelah berlangsungnya pemilihan umum pertama di Indonesia yang bebas dan adil pada tahun 1999. Pemilu bersejarah ini merupakan langkah penting dalam upaya Indonesia keluar dari masa lalu yang otoriter menuju masa depan yang demokratis. KEMITRAAN didirikan dari dana perwalian multi-donor dan dikelola oleh United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) dengan mandat untuk memajukan reformasi tata kelola pemerintahan di Indonesia.

In 2003, KEMITRAAN became an independent legal entity registered as a Non-Profit Civil Partnership. At that time, KEMITRAAN was still a program managed by UNDP until the end of 2009. Since the beginning of 2010, KEMITRAAN took over full responsibility and accountability for the programs and their development.

2000-2003

KEMITRAAN played a crucial role in supporting the development of legislation to establish the KPK. This was followed by steps to support the Government and DPR in selecting competent commissioner candidates and also supporting civil society groups to critically monitor the selection process. After the commissioners were appointed, they asked KEMITRAAN to help with the institutional design and initial recruitment of the KPK, as well as play the role of donor coordinator. It is clear that KEMITRAAN plays a key role in supporting the Corruption Eradication Commission to develop the capacity and strategies needed to work as effectively as possible.

1999-2000

The Partnership for Governance Reform, or KEMITRAAN, was founded in 2000 following Indonesia’s first free and fair general election in 1999. This historic election is an important step in Indonesia’s efforts to move away from an authoritarian past towards a democratic future. PARTNERSHIP was established from a multi-donor trust fund and is managed by United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) with a mandate to advance governance reform in Indonesia
