Background
The Indonesia Australia Legal Development Facility (IALDF) is a five-year
program that builds on AusAID's experience in the development and management
of the Legal Reform Program (LRP) initiated in June 2001 and completed
in May 2003. LRP was AusAID's first program in Indonesia solely dedicated
to the legal sector.
Description
The IALDF is working with Indonesian Government agencies, legal and judicial
institutions and legal and human rights-focused civil society organisations
in four core areas:
- Anti-corruption
- Access to Justice
- Transnational Crime
- Human Rights
Key Indonesian counterpart agencies include the Supreme Court, Attorney
General's Department, Corruption Eradication Commission and Komnas HAM.
Our Lead Advisers work closely with these institutions to ensure the LDF
continues to identify and implement activities which address the needs
of the institutions which are central to the Indonesian Government's legal
reform agenda.
Achievements/outcomes
- Visit of Indonesian Chief Justice Bagir Manan to the Australian Federal
Court, in support of the Supreme Court's Blueprint for reform under
the MOU between the two courts signed in January 2006.
- Assisting the Supreme Court in resolving its case backlog through
a program of audit, review and analysis and judgement finalisation phases,
involving a combination of Indonesian technical expertise and strategic
