Request for
Proposal
Workshop on
Accessible Service for People with Disabilities within Prosecution Service and
Courts
The Australian Government, through AusAID, has been providing support for the legal
and justice sector in Indonesia for more than 10 years. In
2011, Australia Indonesia Partnership for Justice (AIPJ)
started as an AusAID’s five-year new program.
After a revision of program
strategy in late 2012, AIPJ is focusing on “RealisingRights,” of Indonesiansto obtain legal identity (birth certificate, marriage certificate dan divorce
certificate), the right to fair and accessible justice services and the right to legal information. AIPJ focuses particularly
on women who are poor, vulnerable children and people with disabilities, and
has three target provinces NTT, NTB and South Sulawesi.
To ensure that people with
disabilities can access their rights like other Indonesians, AIPJ is
implementing disability inclusion as a cross cutting issue in all areas of
activity in the program. In addition disability specific activities - that
focus on the specific issues faced by people with disabilities in realising
their rights - will be implemented. One of these areas is improving awareness
and understanding on disability rights and legal issues in the judicial system
so that people with disabilities have fairer access to and better outcomes from
prosecution and court processes.
AIPJ invites civil society organisations, disabled people’s
organisations (DPOs), and consultants to submit proposals to develop
a survey and resource to be used as workshops materials to deliver
awareness and education on disability rights to court officials in district
level courts to reduce discrimination experienced by people with disability
within the prosecution service and the courts and to help improve the quality
and accessibility of services that are provided.
Interested consultants or
organizations can access the request for proposal document by visiting AIPJ
website www.aipj.or.id. The closing date for the proposal submission is on
28 August 2013 at 1.00 PM.
