Civil Society Organisation (CSO) –
Interim Fund (Completed)
Given the rapidly growing demand for assistance by Indonesian CSOs, AusAID
is implementing an interim phase of assistance in the lead up to implementation
of the ACCESS program. The purpose of this Interim CSO Assistance Scheme
is to provide immediate assistance in a fast-growing area of need amongst
CSOs. The Scheme will also provide AusAID with an information base for
ACCESS through:
- developing relationships between AusAID and key CSOs, including government
agencies involved in the civil governance agenda;
- gathering information, resources and knowledge on key civil governance
issues and programs ; and
- supporting Indonesian CSO programs through modest financial support.
Priority Areas for Interim Assistance
The Interim CSO Assistance Scheme will focus assistance for priority
issues identified through the February 2000 AusAID Governance Mission
that have not been supported by other program facilities, ie:
- democracy initiatives, including civic education
- counter corruption
- human rights
- legal reform
- gender equity and womens' empowerment
- local governance, including civil society participation in the decentralisation
process, and
- professionalism and accountability within the CSO sector.
These priorities are likely to form the themes of the ACCESS scheme.
They will be reviewed annually by AusAID during implementation of ACCESS.
Since inception, the scheme has supported 61 activities in the above
priority areas. Some of them are:
