II. Organizational Context
Kemitraan
(Partnership) is a multi-stakeholder organization established to promote
governance reform. It works hand-in-hand with government agencies, civil
society organizations, the private sector, and international development
partners in Indonesia to bring about reform at both the national and local
levels.
Since
its establishment, Kemitraan has worked to create an enabling environment for
reform in which different components of society come together to discuss,
advocate and support the implementation of critical elements of Indonesia’s
extensive reform agenda. Leaders of Kemitraan come from government, including
senior ministers, activists from civil society and faith based groups, the
business community and the political world including members of parliament from
across partisian divides. The capacity to reach out across and among various
divides within society uniquely places Kemitraan in a position to promote
reform and to do so in a peaceful and engaging manner.
Kemitraan
has been successful in facilitating public policy reform (the formulation of
new laws and regulations or the revision / amendment to the laws and
regulations), bureaucratic reforms, judicial and democratization reform,
anti-corruption laws, national strategies, creating the Governance Index,
promoting and facilitating environmental and economic governance.
To
ensure the visibility of Kemitraan’s work and achievement, Kemitraan needs to
engage the media in promoting success stories, advocating policy makers and
enhancing people’s awareness and participation. The engagement strategy should
be able to stimulate various stakeholders to learn more about Kemitraan and its
successes. Hence it is important for Kemitraan
to develop and implement sound media strategy to increase its profile and
promoting its programs.
Additionally,
Kemitraan also needs to demonstrate to all stakeholders, government, civil
society, the international media, national press, international community
including donors, that Kemitraan activities are yielding concrete results.
A

local and national media. The Communications Manager is responsible for the
design, management and implementation of the communications strategy for
Kemitraan, with a view to influence policy-makers, to promote public and media
outreach and to mobilize political and financial support and the works of Kemitraan
in general.
