AUSTRALIAN INDONESIA
PARTNERSHIP FOR JUSTICE (AIPJ)
REQUEST FOR EXPRESSION
OF INTEREST
Implementing
Organisation for AIPJ Program on
Realising Rights:
Ensuring Access on Legal Identity in Indonesia
The Australian Indonesia
Partnership for Justice (‘AIPJ’) is a bilateral program of assistance aimed at
helping Indonesians, in particular women who are poor, vulnerable children and
people with disabilities, realise their rights to legal identity, legal information
and fair and accessible justice services.
Legal Identity Program
The Legal
Identity Program aims to help women and children, especially the most
vulnerable, to receive legal identity documents in the form of birth
certificates, marriage certificates or divorce certificates. These legal
identity documents are essential for women, children and people with disability
to access public services, including social assistance programs.
SUSENAS data
from 2011 show that 35% of children do not possess a birth certificate and this
rises to 66% of children in rural areas without a birth certificate. The number
of children without a birth certificate in Indonesia is estimated to be almost
30 million. A study conducted by PEKKA, the Family Court of Australia &
AusAID in 2009 shows that less than 50% of vulnerable women heads of household
have legal documentation for their marriage. Birth certificates and
marriage/divorce certificates for women and children affect whether they can
have access to basic rights and services. The links between marriage
certificate and birth certificate are substantial as marriage certificate are a
requirement for children being able to obtain birth certificates.
AIPJ is seeking an organisation to work with the Legal Identity Program
to:
1.
Achieve the Legal Identity End of
Program Outcome (EOPO);
2.
Implement a range of activities to
improve access to legal identity documents for women who are poor, vulnerable
children and people with disability.
