1. INTRODUCTION
i) Key Strategic Questions
1. Civil society approach: Given the country context and the size of the Danish engagement, the current pro-
gramme focuses on supporting civil society actors to effectuate change in Indonesia. The Embassy suggests continuing
this approach. Does the Committee agree with the civil society centred approach to supporting democracy and good gov-
ernance in Indonesia?
2. Building durable, institutional linkages: Given the multi-faceted priority (development, political, commer-
cial) attached to the Indonesian-Danish relationship and Indonesia’s middle-income status, the Embassy suggests that
the next phase should have an auxiliary objective to promote durable institutional relationships/linkages between rel-
evant Danish and Indonesian institutions and experts. Which relevant Danish institutions in the governance field
could be linked up with Indonesian partners? Are there any general lessons-learned in relation to building durable
linkages that the Embassy can draw on?
3. Taking risks: The Review Team in June 2013 found that the Embassy must retain some flexibility and be ready
to take more risks in order to make the programme more strategic. Does the Committee agree that the time has come
to take more risks? Political risks? Fiduciary risks? How could this be translated into the programme?
ii) Summary of the envisaged support
The overall objective of the envisaged support programme is to support key Indonesian stakeholders in further
consolidating and developing Indonesian democracy and governance.
The underlying principle of the programme is that civil society and media have a key role to play in
promoting democracy, transparency and accountability in Indonesia. By supporting the building of a
strong and active civil society in Indonesia, Denmark can support Indonesia in further developing its
viable and dynamic, yet fledgling democracy.
Formulation of the program will be based on the following considerations:
i) Build on the experiences and successes with partners so far – both in terms of areas/themes
and in terms of approaches – while at the same time,
ii) Allowing for inclusion of new activities in order to reflect new developments, challenges and
opportunities in Indonesia and – as agreed between the Danish and Indonesian Foreign Minis-
ters - assist Indonesia in its ambition to share lessons learned and spread democratic processes,
iii) Encourage the building of durable linkages and networks between relevant Danish and Indone-
sian institutions, organisations and experts as a means towards strengthening the on-going dia-
logue and cooperation between Denmark and Indonesia on selected governance themes,
iv) Retain some flexibility in order to be able to support smaller and more limited strategic activi-ties and interventions as opportunities arise. (Note: Unlike other priority countries, the Embas-sy in Jakarta does not have a separate LGA).

The envisioned support is in line with the Danish Strategy for development cooperation “The Right to a Better Life” and the Human Rights Based Approach (HRBA), particularly as it will:
Support Indonesians and Indonesian civil society in effecting change in relation to non-
discrimination, transparency and accountability; and
Encourage interaction between rights holders and duty bearers both through direct inter-linkages
and informed public debate on key governance issues.
2. SUMMARY OF CURRENT PROGRAMME PHASE
The Danida program to support good governance, democracy, and human rights in Indonesia is cur-
rently in its third phase running until the end of 2013. The budget of the current program is DKK 50
million from 2010-2013. It builds on Danish support since 2007 to further advance and consolidate
democratic and rights-based civic values in Indonesia. The program has three components:
Component A: Strengthening civic values through religious institutions and the police in Indonesia.
Implemented by The Asia Foundation (TAF) in partnership with 12 local NGOs.
In February 2012, a complimentary activity was launched in cooperation with TAF and Paramadina
University on Women’s Rights and Religious Tolerance (DKK 8.2 million under the Freedom initi-
ative).
Component B: Increase capacity of Indonesia and regional law enforcement agencies to combat
transnational crime. Implemented by JCLEC (Jakarta Centre for Law Enforcement Cooperation).
Component C: Support to good governance and anti-corruption. Implemented by Transparency In-
ternational Indonesia (TII).
DKK 3 million was initially set aside as unallocated funds. They have been used together with the
Netherland Embassy to support a component in a larger programme “Leveraging and Educating Ac-
countable Democracy in Indonesia” implemented by Kemitraan (Partnership for Governance Reform
Indonesia).
The current support to good governance program has focused on a limited number of strategic partner
NGOs with a view also to supporting the development of a strong civil society in Indonesia. Overall,
the partners have proven to be effective and professional in terms of pursuing the programme objec-
tives, as well as instrumental in providing valuable access to a range of key players in Indonesia –
NGOs, religious groups, and academia as well as at the political level.
Some notable results from the current programme include:
TII has signed a MoU with the State Electricity Company (PLN) to promote good corporate
governance and anti-corruption principles in PLN. This serves as the entry point for TII to
implement anti-bribery rules inside PLN, starting from its procurement procedures which reach out
to a number of large multi-national companies. PLN is one of Indonesia’s largest state-owned
Embassy Jakarta August 2013

enterprises (SOE) with around 46,000 employees, and it is expected that the cooperation with PLN
can serve as a model for future cooperation with other SOEs.
TAF and its partners have succeeded in having the Indonesian Supreme Court adopt a gender
sensitivity training program for religious courts as part of its annual work program. The Religious
Courts Body in the Supreme Court has further agreed to officially endorse a reference book
containing examples of gender and women’s rights cases. This supports the dissemination of
knowledge of available legal instruments related to domestic violence and eradication of violence
against women.
TAF has provided training on human rights, conflict management and quality public services to
more than 1,500 police officers. TAF’s engagement in the curriculum of the Indonesian Police
Academy (AKPOL) has gained strong momentum. Recently AKPOL requested an extension to a
5-year MoU to provide further and enhanced training on human rights issues to cadets.
The Danish flexible support to JCLEC has mainly been used to fund training courses on protecting
women and children. Around 350 officers from different law enforcement agencies have
participated in this course from 2010-2012. Danish support has also been channelled to fund a
regular financial investigation management courses, prepared and delivered by the office of the
Danish State Prosecutor for Serious Economic Crime (SØK).
3. PRELIMINARY OVERVIEW OF ENVISAGED SUPPORT
i) Justification for the support – opportunities and challenges in Indonesia
The Indonesian society has undertaken an impressive transformation during the last 10-15 years into a
vibrant and viable democracy. With a population of more than 240 million, Indonesia is increasingly
playing an active role on the international stage, taking on responsibilities (e.g. in peace keeping), and
contributing actively to the formation of the international agenda (e.g. post-2015 process). Indonesia
continues to be one of the strongest advocates for democracy and human rights values within ASEAN,
and Indonesia is increasingly open to share its own experiences with democracy with other countries in
transformative democratic processes.
Severely hit by the Asian Financial Crisis in 1997-98, today the Indonesian economy is robust and resil-
ient, expanding at an average of 6 per cent over the past five years. The strong economic developments
in Indonesia have contributed to lifting a large share of the Indonesian population out of poverty, and
the Indonesian middle class in expected to grow with another 90 million people during the next 15
years. Despite this impressive socio-economic transformation, poverty and inequality is still widespread,
and around 12 % of the Indonesian population (app. 30 million people) is estimated to live below the
nationally defined poverty line.1
Indonesia is still a relatively young democracy and as such continues to confront a range of challenges
in the further consolidation of its democracy. The Indonesian society is ethnically, religiously and geo-

graphically very diverse, and questions and developments related to respect for religious rights and mi-
nority groups are constantly recurring in Indonesia. Some NGOs have pointed to a growing trend of
religious intolerance in Indonesia. The Jakarta-based Setara Institute released a report of this growing
trend: 216 cases of violent attacks on religious minorities in 2010, 244 cases in 2011 and 264 cases in
20122. These findings have also been supported by a recent Human Rights Watch report which high-
lights a number of specific cases of religious intolerance, including violent attacks and harassments to-
wards places of worship, and instances where law enforcement agencies failed to take the necessary
preventive actions3.
Corruption on different levels and in different forms constitutes an obstacle for the continued econom-
ic and human development as well as the further deepening of democracy in Indonesia. In 2012, Indo-
nesia placed 118 out of 176 countries on the Corruption Perception Index (CPI), and a Youth Integrity
Survey conducted by TII in 2013 showed a high degree of mistrust among youth in relation to service
delivery as well as apathy towards combating corruption.4 How to effectively curb corruption as well as
ensure that democracy delivers tangible benefits and real improvements to all Indonesians will continue
to be essential themes in the public debate in Indonesia in coming years.
Issues related to democracy, corruption, religious tolerance and human rights are discussed openly in
Indonesia as part of a highly dynamic and lively public debate. There is still, however, a need to engage
with media actors to ensure continuous capacity building towards strong, professional and independent
reporting. Viable and effective civil society organizations and independent and professional media -
with the necessary capacity to spread knowledge to right holders and effectuate change and encourage
accountability among duty bearers - are key ingredients in all democratic societies, including Indonesia.
Building a strong and empowered civil society, which can represent marginalised groups and advocate
for specific governance issues, is a key part of Indonesia’s continued transformative democratic pro-
gress – and a goal in itself.
A forward-looking programme review was conducted in June 2013. The Review Team concluded that
there is still a strong rationale for engaging the governance agenda in Indonesia, and Denmark can con-
tinue to play a positive role beyond 2013 by providing assistance to strengthen good governance, up-
hold tolerance and deepen democratic development.
Given the size and importance of Indonesia as a strong regional advocate of democratic and human
rights values, Denmark has a strong strategic interest in continuing to support Indonesia in pursuing its
objectives in these areas. A continued engagement would furthermore underpin and support the con-
tinued development of our bilateral relationship – a foreign policy priority for Denmark.

ii) Outline of support strategy
The programme will (continue to) support the development of substantive democracy in Indonesia by
supporting forces and actors that advocate for participation, transparency and accountability, solving
conflicts through dialogue, accepting diversity, non-discrimination and respect for human rights. It will
continue to primarily aim at supporting civil society in a period where financial support for CSOs is
shrinking. The Danish (and Nordic) approach to strengthen and capacity-build civil society could play
an important role in this respect.
The programme could be structured around the following two main clusters:
Cluster 1: Transparency and Accountability
The immediate objective will be to improve collective action as an approach to anti-corruption in In-
donesia (collaboration between civil society, private and public sector actors).
The programme will support Transparency International Indonesia (TII) with a view to further sup-
porting TII’s engagement with civil society, private sector, government and media as well as the contin-
uing development of TII’s organizational capacity. The component could further contribute to the col-
lective approach to anti-corruption, i.e. by promoting strategic cooperation with other key anti-
corruption stakeholders in Indonesia. The support to TII could also support capacity building of pro-
fessional journalism/reporting to effectuate accountability and transparency, e.g. by drawing on TII’s
existing cooperation with the Indonesian Independent Journalist Association.
Cluster 2: Non-discrimination, Tolerance and Civic Values
The immediate objective is to strengthen the capacity and commitment of society, state and law en-
forcement agencies to uphold human rights, peace and tolerance in Indonesia and the region through
collaborative action.
This Embassy will continue the collaboration with The Asia Foundation (TAF) and its local partners.
This will be based on TAF’s strategic considerations for its future activities, including i) the need for a
more geographically focused approach, ii) a combination of shorter and longer term measures to effec-
tively address increasing intolerance in Indonesia, and iii) the need to engage media and journalists in
order to promote professional and non-discriminatory reporting on these issues – as part of the shap-
ing of public opinion.
The programme will continue support to combating transnational crime in accordance with interna-
tional standards/conventions through support to Jakarta Centre for Law Enforcement Cooperation
(JCLEC). JCLEC has proven to be a strong training facility with cost-effective use of donor funds. The
flexible core support to JCLECs mission is envisaged to be continued and complemented by a more
substantive form of cooperation by providing further access to Danish institutions and experts based
on JCLEC training needs assessment and relevant Danish areas of expertise (e.g. the office of the State
Prosecutor for Serious Economic Crime (SØK) is already providing training at JCLEC).

The programme will include Institute for Peace and Democracy (IPD) as a new partner. IPD was es-
tablished in 2008 to implement the agenda of the Bali Democracy Forum (BDF). BDF is an annual
high level forum of Foreign Ministers and Heads of State from Asian countries and the rest of the
world with the explicit purpose of sharing experiences on democracy, peace and human rights. As such,
it is a manifestation of Indonesia’s ambition to further promote democratic values and norms in the
region and beyond. The objective of Danish engagement with IPD will be to support IPDs own efforts
to share Indonesia’s lessons learned and spread democratic processes to other relevant countries in
South East Asia and elsewhere, which at the same time will have a positive feedback into further con-
solidating democracy in Indonesia. This cooperation will also include thematic support in the form of
access to relevant Danish institutions/experts as well as support to developing IPDs strategic and or-
ganizational capacity.
The Embassy finds that Kemitraan should not be included in the partner portfolio at this stage, as the
modality of delegated cooperation in the current context does not represent the same value for Den-
mark as the other suggested programme components.
Flexibility for strategic interventions
In order to be able to address new and relevant developments, respond to inevitable and unforeseen
events and pursue new possibilities to affect changes in Indonesia and the region, a limited amount will
be kept available as unallocated funds to give the opportunity to provide strategic and flexible support
for shorter-term activities (not foreseen during the formulation phase), e.g. more specific activities fo-
cussed on promoting professional journalism/reporting.
This component could also provide the necessary flexibility to be able to respond to developments at
the ASEAN level, e.g. in further developing the ASEAN human rights framework. Such activities could
further support the objective of building linkages and promoting cooperation between relevant Indone-
sian/ASEAN and Danish institutions. The use of unallocated funds should fall within the overall ob-
jectives of the program, i.e. governance, democracy and human rights.

iv) Organisation and Management structure
The Embassy has the ultimate responsibility for oversight of the Programme. The Embassy will sign
bilateral agreements with partners and will have regular Steering Committee (SC) meetings with those
partners where the support extended is of a certain size. Through the SC meetings, the Embassy will
monitor and review progress reports in terms of timely progress towards objectives, lessons-learned,
outputs, and expenditures as agreed in the Project Agreement. In regards to JCLEC, the Embassy will
use its position as an observer in the Board of Supervisors actively to address relevant issues and devel-
opments. The Embassy will engage short-tem, local consultants whenever necessary to assist with mon-
itoring and evaluation of the programme.
In order to maintain relevance of the program in constantly and often rapidly changing circumstances
both at the local, national and regional level, the Embassy will engage in continuous discussions with
partners on the strategic direction of the activities as well as potential need for adjustments and re-
sponses to new developments.
The Embassy will continue to advance and develop the partnership with the different partners in a way
that is conducive for creating a flexible and dynamic programme with strong local ownership as well as
organizational capacity building. In preparing the next phase of the programme, the Embassy will con-
sider the possibility of flexible, core funding based on the institutional needs and character of the indi-
vidual organization.
The Embassy will strive to ensure as much synergy between components as possible, while at the same
time recognising that partners are independent professional organisations working in different areas
with many other development partners. The Embassy - together with the consultant team and TAS -
will assess for each partnership whether core funding is a possibility. The Embassy will engage with EU
and other like-minded donors to facilitate coordination, information-sharing and - where relevant -
assess the possibilities for joint support.
v) Financial Management
The Embassy has the overall responsibility for management of the grants and disbursement to partners.
Disbursement to partners are dependent on adequate financial and narrative reports and audit reports
from partners as well as the periodic (semi and/or annual basis) financial absorption from partners.
The Embassy will stand ready to engage a Certified Public Accounting firm of international standard to
do additional audit of the partners’ accounts – outside of the regular annual audit – should this be
deemed necessary.
vi) Risks and assumptions in relation to the envisaged support
The existing overall assumptions and risk analysis at the programme level are still valid. The assump-
tions include continued commitment, political will and support from the Indonesian government e.g. in
relation to curbing corruption, promoting human rights and pursuing reforms.
Embassy Jakarta August 2013

The activities described above will be implemented in a changing political context where local, national
and regional developments may give rise to a need for adjustments in planned activities. This will be
reflected in the programme administration which should allow for regular revisions of activity plans and
budgets as and when needed (see Management structure).
The programme depends on an enabling environment for civil society and media. This could be affect-
ed by implementation and/or issuance of laws with the potential to reduce political space (e.g. defama-
tion laws and new legislation on the funding and activities of civil society).
Any mismanagement of funds is damaging to the trust needed for providing support for anti-
corruption and democracy. Continuing to strengthen the capacity of NGOs accounting and audit staff
and establishing clear guidelines and procedures, is expected to reduce the risk of mismanagement.

National Policies:
Presidential Instruction (INPRES) No. 9/2000: Gender mainstreaming in National Development, clarifies the roles and responsibilities for gender mainstreaming within gov-ernment departments and agencies
Presidential Decree (PERPRES) no. 5/2010: RPJMN 2010-2014 (National Development Planning – Medium Term), recognizing the important roles of women in the development. However, there has been a gender disparities resulting in their low quality of life.
Ministry of Women Empowerment develop guidance on the implementation of Presidential Decree which was formalised through the Decree (Keputusan Menteri Pem-berdayaan Perempuan) No. B89/2002 on mainstreaming gender at national and regional level.
Ministry of Home Affairs Decree (PERMEN) no 67/2011: Revision on the PERMEN no 15/2008 on Gen-eral guidelines on the implementation of gender main-streaming in the regions (provinces).
A bill on Gender Equality is still being discussed in the Parliament. The bill is however received resistance from several Moslem organizations. Many women activist, acad-emicians, are monitoring this.
State Ministry of Women Empowerment and Child Protection
(MoWECP)
The GoI established this Ministry in 1978, which plays a central
role in promoting gender mainstreaming as a development strategy
as well as child’s protection and well being in Indonesia. The func-
tion of the Ministry is amongst others: to formulate government
policies pertaining to women’s empowerment and family planning,
to coordinate and integrate the planning, monitoring and evalua-
tion of women’s empowerment programs and to facilitate the im-
provement of the status of women in the family and society and
women’s participation in development.
2. Main non-governmental stakeholders promoting gender equality.

Women Study Centers, mostly at universities as part of university
research centres, were established to support and accelerate gender
mainstreaming in Indonesia. There are many non-governmental
organisations focusing in gender, some of the main NGOs are
Kalyanamitra, Indonesian Women Coalition (Koalisi Perempuan
Indonesia), Kapal Perempuan, Solidaritas Perempuan, Women
Resource Institute and Women Journal Foundation (Yayasan
Jurnal Perempuan).
In 1998, the President issued a Decree no. 18 on the establishment
of National Commission on Violence Against Women (Komnas
Perempuan). Komnas Perempuan was established to prevent and
address the prevalence of violence against women as well as to
eliminate any kind of violence against women. It is an independent
body and responsible directly to the President. The roles are: 1)
conduct monitoring, including fact finding missions, on any forms
of violence against women and is also responsible for taking
measures to ensure accountability, and 2) provide recommenda-
tions and develop regional and international cooperation for the
advancement of the protection of women against violence and
women’s rights.
3. Donor harmonisation and alignment in the area of gender.
There are many international and bilateral institutions that have
been supporting government and other institutions in enhancing
gender equality in Indonesia such as CIDA, Danida, UNIFEM,
UN Women, UNFPA, UNESCO, UNICEF and ILO.
Gender is mainstreamed in the current Danida’s program on MRD

(Good governance and human rights) and Environment Support
Program (ESP). A compliment project of Women’s rights and
religious tolerance is so far the only project in which women are
specifically targeted in the implementation through one the com-
ponents, i.e. road-show seminar on women in public sphere.
Recently, MoWECP and BPS is collaborating with UNFPA pro-
posed a 2014 National survey on violence against women in Indo-
nesia. A meeting with the development partners has been held to
discuss the plan including to seek a potential funding from donors.
4. Availability of sex-disaggregated data.
Based on the Ministry of Women Empowerment (Peraturan Men-
teri Pemberdayaan Perempuan) No. 6/2009, about gender and
child data availability stated the needs of having the sex-segregated
data is a principal in gender mainstreaming.
Several sex-segregated data are available, such as:

5. Assessment of major gender issues at
national and sector level.
Despite the strong support for equality in national legislation and
international treaties, there remain contradictory legislative and
policy arrangements.
The 1974 Martial Law (UU Perkawinan) is prone to the possibility of polygamy, creates a room for a child (girl) marriage, and gender stereotyping on the different roles and responsibilities between men and women.
Legislation has also failed to alter traditional-patriarchal norms and values which give men greater rights for land ownership/titleship, greatly affecting women’s economic opportunities. The inability to provide acceptable collateral (as women rarely own land) makes women difficult in ac-cessing credit through formal financial institutions.
In 2008 the controversial anti-pornography law (UU no 44/2008) was enacted amidst heated public controversy as women are discriminated, and the enforcement of this law is prone to incident of gender-based violence.
Ministry of health regulation no. 1636/MENKES/PER/XI/2010 regarding female circum-cision. This practice is considered against the principles of recognition, protection, fulfilment and the promotion of human rights, especially women and children rights. Em-pirical studies showed that this medicalization of female circumcision continues to this day and has been occurred in some parts of the country. The practice is generally un-dertaken by a traditional birth attendant within the first six weeks after the baby girl is born for religious reasons.

As at August 2011, Komnas Perempuan (National Com-mission on Violence against Women) recorded there were 207 discriminatory policies in the name of religion and morality, 200 of which exist at district and provincial lev-els. Of the 207 policies, 78 specifically target women by regulating dress code (23 policies) and regulating prostitu-tion and pornography (55 policies) which in fact criminal-ize women. Statements made by government representa-tives perpetuate such discriminatory attitudes, such as the recent case of raping in public transportation of which some representatives blame it to women wearing a “pro-vocative” outfit.
Although Indonesia has had a woman as president, wom-en are still greatly under-represented in parliaments as well as in the senior position at civil services especially at the provincial level. An affirmative action in politics, through UU no 2/2011 (as a revision from UU no 2/2008) for a minimum 30% of women representatives in the parliament has so far not yet implemented fully. Women without a strong and solid political background are often being of-fered a seat in the parliament by political parties merely to fill in the quota of 30%.
Marriage at young age is still relatively widespread although is decreasing, especially in rural areas and slums. Early marriage leading to early pregnancy can greatly increase girls’ risk of dying or experiencing serious and long term health problems as a result of pregnancy and childbirth.
Women adherents of indigenous faiths and members of minority groups as well as indigenous communities still cannot freely register their marriages. To register their marriages, the adherents of indigenous faiths are obliged to become a member of an organized faith organization – the mainstream religions. Yet to join an organization is a right, not an obligation. Women of the minority groups also ex-perience psychological exhaustion due to the growing in-tolerant acts carried out in the name of religion.

by KPK show a trend where women are involved directly (as perpetrator) or indirectly (esp. in the case of money laundering, usually through an “extended family” alias po-lygamous marriage of the accused corruptors).
6. Opportunities/constraints for address-ing these issues.
Indonesia has made some progress in mainstreaming gender. The
legal platform and national policies listed above are not an exhaus-
tive list, and they show the government commitment to improve
the roles of women in the national development which will eventu-
ally improve their well-being. The annual national reports on the
MDGs have reported some positive achievements such as the
availability of disaggregated data, increased of health access, in-
creased educational participation and improved literacy rates
amongst men and women.
But there are still much to be done. What have been presented in
the major gender issues above are an eye opener that despite the
government official standpoint favouring gender equality, there
remain significant challenges to the promotion of it. Since the re-
gional autonomy regime was introduced into the Indonesian legal
system, GoI has identified gaps of commitments at the regional
level and this is reflected in various local by-laws which not only
discriminate against women, but also violate women’s rights. Such
by-laws have mostly been used as part of the politicization of
women’s role vis a vis religious values/issues. There are also gaps
in data and information to reveal the actual discrimination cases,
since these are either not available nor are reliable.
The role of non-state actors, such as NGOs, NHRIs (national
human rights institutions), CSOs and donors, are therefore still
greatly needed. The non-state actors have been playing an im-

portant role in the advocacy for gender equality through religious
approach, and in the curriculum reform in Pesantren (Islamic
boarding school) to incorporate gender perspective and equality.
Some of the NGOs have also provided assistance to the violence
victims.
The significant economic growth in Indonesia of 6% with a mas-
sive increased of a middle-class economy have to a large extent
reduced gender inequalities in several dimensions. This being said,
that gender disparities in some other dimensions have been more
persistent and some even failed to close with development. The
facts create a basis for the development partners and GoI to go
hand in hand in working further in the gender equality issues.

Gender is mainstreamed in the program. TII has been us-ing the external gender consultants in the current phase to assist in designing the project addressing gender issues in e.g. local participatory budgeting process.
TII is not explicitly described how gender equality will be addressed in the next phase of the program.
JCLEC:
Gender has been mainstreamed throughout the program. As a training institution, JCLEC has been advocating more participation of women across the law enforcement agen-cies in the courses.
Danida funds will continue be used for relevant courses addressing gender-based discrimination, such as human trafficking and violence against women and children, par-ticularly from police officers in the UPPA (Unit for Wom-en and Children Protection) in the police offices.
Disaggregated data on women participation in the course will be made available in the report.
The next phase of the program will also see a potential networking
with and support to ASEAN charter of human rights resource
center, and possible with other NHRI (National Human Rights
Institutions). Such potential and possibility will depend on the
existing resources in the Embassy, as well as their relevance with
the Danish interest and development cooperation strategy in Indo-

Annex D: Climate change and environment screening note
Updated 29 July, 2013
Basic Information
Programme title: Support to Democracy and Good Governance in Indonesia 2014-2017
Country/region: Indonesia/Asia
Estimated allocation: 60 Million DKK
Brief description of the Programme sup-port:
The overall objective of the programme is to sup-
port key Indonesian stakeholders in further con-
solidating and developing Indonesian democracy
and governance.
The underlying principle is that civil society and
media continue to have a key role to play - in co-
operation with other stakeholders - in promoting
democracy, transparency and accountability in
Indonesia. By supporting the building of a strong
civil society in Indonesia, Denmark can support
Indonesia in further developing its viable and dy-
namic democracy.
Dates (expected): Programme committee: 22 August 2013 Appraisal: (TBC) September 2013
Screening of Country Climate Change Framework
Assess the adequacy of policies and strategies to respond to climate change in the country and sector For OECD/DAC guidance document see [link]. If the issue is inadequately dealt with (indicated by a tick in the “no” box), please add comments and indicate further work to be un-dertaken (see also “next steps” section, below).
Issue: Yes No Comments and further work to be done:
1. Are the processes and impacts of climate change un-derstood and documented (e.g. in national communica-tions to the UNFCCC)?
2. Is there a national climate change policy or strategy, including estimates of the economic costs of adaptation?
3. Have nationally appropriate mitigation actions (NA-MAs) been identified (e.g. targets for renewable energy production)?
4. Has a national adaptation programme of action (NA-PA) been approved identifying key sectors where adapta-tion is required?
Embassy Jakarta August 2013
24
5. Are there effective and operational meteorological and disaster preparedness organizations?
Summarize the overall assessment of climate change impacts and responses: Indonesia’s long term national development plan of 2005-2025 has a legal platform in Law no 17/2007. The law is aimed at securing a green and sustainable Indonesia, in which issues of environment and disaster management is one of the national priorities, which is also evident in the medium-term development plan of 2010-2014. Sustainable development is mainstreamed throughout the national priority in the development plan, and climate change is a cross cutting issue. NAMA in Indonesia is termed RAN GRK (Rencana Aksi Nasional – Gas Rumah Kaca), while NAPA is termed RAN API (Rencana Aksi Nasional – Adaptasi Perubahan Iklim). Bappenas (National development planning agency) is The ministry that coordinates the development of both national action plans. RAN GRK has been developed since 2011 through Presidential Decree (Perpres) no. 61/2011 and Perpres no. 71/2011. The latter serves as a legal basis to develop an action plan at the provincial level (RAD GRK). The General guideline of RAN GRK and the Technical guideline on Process and Procedures in developing RAD GRK are developed by Bappenas as guideines for the provincial level to:
Calculate the greenhouse (GHG) emission reduction potential and provincial BAU (business as usual) baseline (incl. cities and districts).
Develop a strategy for GHG emission reduction.
Develop and propose selected local GHG mitigation action plans.
Identify key stakeholders/institutions and financial resources. RAN/RAD GRK is an implementation of Indonesia’s commitment in the G-20 Pittsburgh and in COP 15 to reduce global warming through reducing greenhouse emission between 26-41% by 2020. The action plan is also an instrument for moving towards a green economy and sustainable development. The emission reduction will be achieved in the sectors of: 1) Forestry and peatland, 2) Agriculture, 3) Energy and transportation, 4) Industry, and 5) Waste management. By end of 2012, there are 29 provinces with RAD GRK established through a Gubernatorial Decree; 3 provinces have finalized the action plan and the Gubernatorial Decree is in process; and only 1 province is in process of finalizing the action plan. The Government of Indonesia (GoI) established the National Council on Climate Change (DNPI – Dewan Nasional Perubahan Iklim) through Presidential Decree no 46/2008. Under the direct chairman-ship of the President, DNPI’s role is to coordinate the implementation of the climate change programs and to strengthen the position of Indonesia in international forums in controlling climate change. DNPI, with a contribution from relevant stakeholders, has been actively involved in drafting the RAN API. In early 2011, a draft document of RAN API has been finalized and presented as an input to Bap-penas. RAN API is prioritizing on 4 sectors: 1) Agricultural, 2) Coastal zone, Ocean, Fishery and Small Islands, 3) Health, and 4) Public Works. RAN API is designed so that the national development is adaptable to climate change, aiming at resili-ence of development system against potential climate anomalies and improving the ability to anticipate the impacts of climate change in the future. Such resilience will be focused in 4 sectors, concurrence with the priority in the draft from DNPI, i.e. 1) Economic resilience (sector: food security and energy inde-pendence), 2) Livelihood resilience (health, housing, infrastructure), 3) Ecosystem and biodiversity resili-ence, 4) Special areas resilience (urban, coastal zone and small islands).
Embassy Jakarta August 2013
25
Indonesia is gaining a significant support from major donor agencies for the implementation of RAN GRK and RAN API, either through a multilateral agreement or bilateral agreement. The UN Framework of REDD+ is one of them. In 2009, Bappenas introduced an Indonesia Climate Change Trust Fund (ICCTF) to manage grants for the implementation of Indonesia Climate Change Sectoral Roadmap (IC-CSR) as a guideline to mitigate and reduce impacts of climate change.
Screening of Country and Sector Environmental Framework
Assess the adequacy of legislation, policies and procedures for environmental management and impact assessment in the country and sector. If an issue is inadequately dealt with (indicated by a tick in the “no” box), please add comments and indicate further work to be undertaken (see also “next steps” section, below).
Issue: Yes No Comments and further work to be done:
1. Do national procedures and legislation for Strategic En-vironmental Assessment (SEA) and Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) exist?
2. Are there operational national environmental action plans or environment sector programmes?
3. Are there regularly updated state of the environment reports and environmental monitoring systems with indicators?
4. Is environmental management sufficiently integrated into the sector plans?
5. Is there sufficient institutional and human capacity for environmental management in the sector concerned?
Summarize the overall impression of the Country and Sector Environmental Framework: Indonesia is well aware of its vulnerability against climate change. To that effect, GoI has taken necessary steps and actions to ensure that such issues are incorporated in the legal frameworks. Bappenas has been appointed as a national coordinator of relevant ministries and institutions working towards a sustainable and green Indonesia, i.e. Ministry of Environment (for a measurement, reporting and verification/MRV and other environment policy and program, and for international communications), UN REDD Task force, Ministry of Finance (for a budget and fiscal dis/incentives), Ministry of Energy, Mineral resources and Renewable Energy, and DNPI. Under the coordination of Bappenas, those ministries and institutions have all been actively involved in the coordination forum, sharing relevant knowledge and information, and in developing national strategy for environmental management. Challenges remain. Indonesia geographically spans on more than 81,000 km of coastal line with more than 17,000 islands. The economic growth of 6% has so far mostly been benefiting people living in the urban areas. Indigenous people, who are living in the remote areas, are prone to a land-titling conflict with the extractive industries and have been marginalized from a robust economic growth. There are still issues that the existing country and sector environmental framework are not yet sufficient to respond to various and wide-spread environmental concerns in the national and regional development. Although GoI has issued Presidential decrees and other non-laws mechanisms to respond to climate change, the pressing and growing challenges in the environmental sector need to be addressed through
Embassy Jakarta August 2013
26
the law. The laws on climate change will provide a long-run certainty on the commitment and engage-ment of both private and public sectors toward a green and sustainable Indonesia. Discourses on the need are growing among relevant stakeholders but the GoI has yet to decide on this.
Opportunities and risks of the programme related to Climate change and the environment
Assess how climate change and environmental opportunities and risks will arise through the pro-gramme:
Will the programme ... Oppor-tunity:
Risk: None:
1. ... have an impact on the pollution of soil, water or air as a result of emissions or discharges?
2. ... lead to changes in land and resource tenure and access rights, including the rights of indigenous peoples?
3. ... include activities within or adjacent to protected or environ-mentally sensitive areas?
4. ... result in livelihood changes (including resettlement) that can increase or reduce the pressure on available natural resources?
5. ... have direct or indirect impact on occupational health and safe-ty?
6. ... have direct or indirect impact on environmental health?
7. ... have direct or indirect impact on climate change (e.g. through increasing or reducing emissions of greenhouse gases)?
8. ... have direct or indirect impact on the resilience of communities in the face of natural disasters?
Summarize and explain climate change and environmental opportunities:
The Support to Democracy and Good Governance program in Indonesia will not focus specifically on the issues of environment and climate change. Danida’s support to Indonesia in this area is channelled through the Environmental Support Program (ESP). A new phase of ESP (ESP3) was initiated in Janu-ary 2013 with a budget of DKK 270 million for 5 years until 2017. The programme provides support to both central and provincial administration, along with a number of NGO driven projects, and a project managed by the World Bank. ESP3 comprises 3 components:
1. Improved local impact from implementation of policies and environment management, also in the field of climate change mitigation and adaptation.
2. Support to implementation of energy efficiency, energy conservation and renewable energy poli-cies.
3. Climate change mitigation through natural resource management, including community-based NRM.

Annex E: HRBA Screening Note
Updated 31 July, 2013
HRBA Screening Note
Purpose: The HRBA Screening Note complements the HRBA Guidance Note. The purpose of the note is to facilitate and
strengthen the application of the Human Rights Based Approach to development in policy dialogue and programming
related to Danish development cooperation. It can be used as an inspiration checklist by all staff.
The preparation of the HRBA screening note is mandatory for all Danish programme support. Preferable, the HRBA screen-
ing note should be developed in collaboration with the partner country and relevant donors. The HRBA screening note will
be updated through the programme cycle (preparation, formulation and appraisal) accounting for the integration of the
HRBA in key documents pertaining to these phases. This means that the ‘Analysis’ section must be prepared for Concept
Note submission while the questions in the ‘Policy Dialogue’, ‘Formulation’ and ‘Results/Indicators’ sections can be filled
tentatively at this point. These sections must then be updated or elaborated on for the appraisal and submission to Financ-
ing Decision.
In order to minimize duplication of work, please highlight key pages or sections in the relevant document(s) below, indicat-
ing where HRBA is reflected. This may include information on results, actions or expectations related to the identified
duty-bearers/right-holders.

Human Rights
Standards
Are key international
human rights standards
in focus area reflected?
☒ ☐ Key international human
rights standards are reflected
throughout the program.
Special attention will be giv-
en to issues addressed
through:
Support to The Asia Founda-
tion (TAF):
Religious tolerance and protection of the rights of minorities.
Fulfilment of women’s rights, and ensure that gender are main-streamed and sensitised in the implementation.
Freedom of the press is reflected through a non-discriminatory and neu-tral news in the media.
Support to Transparency In-ternational Indonesia (TII):
Ensure transparency in the public sector, esp. in relation to the use of public money in the polit-ical party.
Support to Institute for Peace and Democracy (IPD):
Sharing Indonesia expe-riences to the region on its democracy, peace and human rights.
Support to Jakarta Center for Law Enforcement Agency (JCLEC):
Protection of women and children, in particular on the trafficking cases.
Ensure the acceptable balance of female law en-forcement officers partic-ipated in the courses.
Embassy Jakarta August 2013
30
Where relevant, is ap-
plication at national
level, including major
gaps between human
rights in principle vs.
human rights in prac-
tice, evaluated and
identified?
☒ ☐ The programme is making
use of the empirical studies
how Indonesia has taken key
human rights standards and
principles into its domestic
legal order, and how these
have been in practice over
years, particularly following
the height of the reformation
era.
Said studies were conducted
by human rights institutions,
such as Setara Institue, Wa-
hid Institute, Human Rights
Watch, Komnas HAM (Indo-
nesia’s national human rights
institute), and Komnas Per-
empuan (National commis-
sion on violence against
women).
Major findings include: wor-
rying trend of religious intol-
erance, human rights viola-
tion by state actors, and lack
of capacity for enforcement
agencies to handle communi-
ty conflict.
In other component, the pro-
gramme is developed to ad-
dress misuse of public funds.
Issue of transparency in the
public funding use and access
to public information become
crucial in this component.
Embassy Jakarta August 2013
31
Are key recommenda-
tions from UPR for the
thematic intervention
areas and from any
treaty bodies, special
procedures, INGOs,
NHRIs etc. that require
follow up at national
level considered?
☒ ☐ Please see above. Some key
recommendations from UPR
which have been considered
are:
Human rights education and training continue to be part of the pro-gramme, esp. through support to TAF and JCLEC. This includes edu-cation and training to po-lice and cadets.
Protection of women and children, esp. those who are in conflict, who are part of the minority, and vulnerable to be part of trafficking cases, are con-siderably addressed in the programme. This in-cludes encourage the participation of state ac-tors – the police, Attor-ney general Office and courts – to engage in the relevant courses provid-ed by JCLEC and TAF.
Religious tolerance is part of the programme. The sensitive, complex and interconnected na-ture of issues related to religious tolerance in In-donesia will be duly con-sidered throughout the programme implementa-tion.
Embassy Jakarta August 2013
32
Are rights-holders iden-
tified?
☒ ☐ The programme will address
community at large in where
the programme is imple-
mented. Men and women,
and urban and rural inhabit-
ants are stakeholders of the
programme. Children will be
addressed, but not as a sepa-
rate part of the community.
..and duty-bearers? ☒ ☐ This includes state actors like
police, civil servants/officials
in relevant ministries, local
government offices, and pub-
lic service providers, such as
SOEs.
Principles
Non-
discrimination
Are any groups among
rights holders that are
excluded from access
and influence in the
focus area identified?
Are disaggregated data
available on most vul-
nerable groups?
☒ ☐ The programme is designed
and developed to engage all
stakeholders in a various lev-
el. Effort will be taken on a
regular basis to ensure that
none of the groups among
rights holders in the focus
area is excluded for any rea-
son.
Disaggregated data on most
vulnerable groups are availa-
ble, esp. under the support to
TAF.
Embassy Jakarta August 2013
33
Participation and
Inclusion
Are barriers for partici-
pation, inclusion and
empowerment of rights
holders identified?
☒ ☐ The programme is working
with other parties, including
state officials, to ensure that
right holders have a meaning-
ful and active participation.
Identification for possible
barriers for participation will
be done in the start of the
programme and will be eval-
uated throughout the period.
This is done, among others,
through the optimal use of
the community and stake-
holders meetings.
Transparency Is the extent to which
information is accessi-
ble to rights holders
including marginalised
groups assessed?
Where relevant, wheth-
er information is availa-
ble in other than official
languages of the coun-
try in question should
be indicated.
☒ ☐ The programme will also
work with conventional me-
dia and journalist (e.g. in co-
operation with TAF and TII).
The programme will further-
more take advantage of the
growing use of social media,
esp. among the youth (Indo-
nesian is one of the largest
Facebook and Twitter coun-
tries in the world), which is
for example already an inte-
gral part of TIIs communica-
tion/outreach work.
Are steps taken by duty-
bearers to make infor-
mation available to
rights holders assessed?
☒ ☐ Whenever appropriate and
necessary, the programme
will utilize the Freedom of
Information Law (UU no
14/2008) to encourage public
has an access for public in-
formation such as state and
regional budget.
Embassy Jakarta August 2013
34
Accountability Are key accountability
mechanisms in the rele-
vant area – both hori-
zontal and vertical
listed?
☒ ☐ The programme has taken
into account national legal
platforms on human rights
standards and how it has
been used in the local by-
laws. It may be dilemmatic
and therefore difficult for the
programme to withdraw the
discriminatory bylaws. In this
situation, significant efforts
will be used to influence
stakeholders to have human
rights perspectives when in-
tending to exercise bylaws.
Embassy Jakarta August 2013
35
Are obstacles, e.g. ca-
pacity and political-
economy incentives that
duty-bearers and rights
holders face to exercise
their obligations and
rights listed?
☒ ☐ The programme has taken
the fact that human rights
issues in Indonesia are com-
plicated with many and di-
verse other views – some of
them are conflicting to each
other. Indonesia is also a big
country with thousands of
ethnic groups spread over
the region. Although the ro-
bust economic growth has
been recognized internation-
ally, poverty and inequalities
remain a big issue which con-
tribute to the achievement of
national development goals.
In a short run, Indonesia will
enter a general and presiden-
tial election in 2014 which
can be a risk but can also be
perceived as an opportunity
for the programme to take an
effective role.
On the basis of the above considerations, the pro-gramme will have a limited and focused yet flexible sup-port modality.

Policy dialogue Issue/ Question Response/ Comment
Objective State objective of policy dialogue, incl.
reference to specific human rights stand-
ards and principles, recommendations
from UPR etc.
The programme will continuously engage in
the policy dialogue on:
Freedom of religion and of association.
Protection of the minority, including the fulfilment of the rights of women and chil-dren.
Freedom of expression and of the press, but with a non-discriminatory manner.
Human rights capacity building for differ-ent law enforcement agencies including cadets.
Access to public information, including state and regional budget and political par-ty financing scheme.
Accountability and transparency through concerted anti-corruption efforts.
Dialogue part-
ner(s)
Define key dialogue partners (duty-
bearers) to be addressed This includes:
Law enforcement agencies (police, AGO, customs)
State officials from relevant ministries and local government offices (Ministry of reli-gious affairs, Ministry of education, and Provincial/District government offices)
Embassy Jakarta August 2013
37
Alliance partner(s) Define key alliance partners This includes:
Legal aid institute, nationally and regional-ly.
NGOs focusing on issues of governance, human rights principles, and protection of women and children. This including civil so-ciety on the issue of transparency and anti-corruption movement.
Dilemmas/ risks State major dilemmas/ risks associated
with the policy dialogue and proposed
mitigation measures (incl. reference to
Framework for Risk Assessment)
Human rights principles outlined above are
sensitive to some groups in Indonesia. E.g. is-
sues of religion have been used for political
reasons, particularly with the regional auton-
omy blossoming for the last 8 years since 2004.
And so are the press and media, and the role of
state actors particularly police since their de-
tachment from military body in 2000.
The programme will address to the risks above
and endeavours to engage some key personnel
at various levels of right holders and duty
bearers during the period of implementation.
