Indonesia Changes for Justice (C4J)
Scope of Work
AGO Research and Training Officer
I. Project Overview
The primary objective of the Changes for Justice (C4J) Project is to improve the performance of Indonesia's justice system, a prerequisite for good governance and sustained economic growth. The goal of C4J is a justice system that is transparent and predictable, one in which judges, prosecutors, and their respective personnel, support the fight against corruption, rather than conduct corrupt practices themselves. C4J focuses specifically on transforming behavior and mindsets from a culture of impunity to a culture of accountability.
The principal results of this project will be:
• More efficient, credible, and transparent functioning of the Supreme Court and Attorney General's Office.
• Increased competence and integrity of judges, prosecutors and staff.
The C4J Project supports the USAID/Indonesia Mission, Office of Democracy and Governance Intermediate Result #1, Rule of Law and Accountability Strengthened and is closely related to the Educating & Equipping Tomorrow's Justice (E2J) Project, focusing on Legal Education and Civil Society Strengthening. The results of C4J will contribute to be a strengthened and more accountable rule of law mechanism (i.e., a better functioning justice system), and will play a key role in holding other actors and institutions accountable. C4J will complement other activities and contribute to achieving the other IR "More effective, representative, and responsive governance," as justice sector institutions are a part of the governance structure. More reliable justice system will also contribute to the cross program objective of reinforcing sustainable peace with adequate and trusted formal mechanisms for resolving disputes and ending impunity.
II. Background
Now embarked on its second "Blueprint for the Reform of the Supreme Court of Indonesia" the Supreme Court (SC or Mahkamah Agung) continues to lead justice system reform and engage with civil society organizations and other stakeholders to the reform effort. Similarly, the objective of bureaucratic reform (which led to the compilation of job descriptions, a comprehensive staff needs assessment and inventory of all assets held by Indonesian courts) could not have been realized without the proactive support and direct involvement of the leadership of the Supreme Court, in particular those responsible for the monumental task of the administrative management of the courts. The Chief Justice continues to demonstrate a commitment to reform. Activities undertaken with the Supreme Court are under Component 1.
The Attorney General's Office (AGO) Kejaksaan Agung embarked on reform more recently than the Supreme Court as it launched its "Prosecution Service Reform Agenda" in 2005 and its bureaucratic reform process in 2008. Reforming an institution with an extremely hierarchical structure and the inheritance of decades of military-style organization is an ambitious task. However, the political determination of the Attorney General himself to achieve reform warrants continued support. The six regulations enacted in 2007 which elaborated on the Reform Plan are evidence of this determination. The AGO reached a turning point in 2008, as the major scandal that marred the institution provided spectacular evidence that corruption was endemic. The need for swift and comprehensive reform was clearly evident and Indonesian society loudly voiced its demand for reform. This momentum for reform could, however, fade away. Donor assistance can play a catalyst role in maintaining momentum and ensuring that efforts are sustained. Activities supporting the AGO are under Component 2.
Justice sector reform is a part of a political process that is unpredictable; inevitably there are unanticipated problems and emerging opportunities. USAID needs to preserve a degree of flexibility and resources in order to be able to respond to special initiatives and evolving needs. Under Component 3, timely assistance will be provided to government agencies, independent bodies, and other relevant government institutions for specific opportunities to address justice sector reform. The assistance will be targeted, timely, and specific in duration and outcome. It will often require the ability to mobilize quickly. The principal focus of this component will be on supporting strategic policies and programs originating either from USG or from the Government of Indonesia. This may include short-term, "start-up" support for important justice reform initiatives emanating from the office of the President or National Ministries.
