An important step for KEMITRAAN
in institutionalizing partnerships with key
agencies of government was achieved
in 2021 through the establishment of
an MoU with the Coordinating Ministry
of Politics, Law and Security. The MoU
entitled Support in the Implementation of
Coordination, Synchronization, and Control
in the Political, Legal, and Security Sector.
Following the signing we have begun
to develop a working program for the
future and scoping out specific areas
where KEMITRAAN will partner with the
Ministry. This will cover areas such as
promoting means to defend the democratic
gains of the past generation from
degradation both in terms of democratic
institutions as well as the civil liberties of
the citizenry.
KEMITRAAN is also working with the
National Development Planning Agency,
BAPPENAS, together with the United
Nations Office on Drugs and Crime,
UNODC, to provide input to Indonesia's
forthcoming Mid Term Development Plan
(RPJM/Rencana Pembangunan Jangka
Menengah). One key focus of this work is
on sharpening the focus on criminal justice
reform with the RPJM.
At the signing ceremony on Wednesday, November 3, 2021,
the Coordinating Ministry for Political, Legal, and Security
Affairs, Prof Mahfud MD stated that:
"Strengthening good governance is intended to be
a collaborative effort that utilizes the Coordinating
Ministry for Political, Legal, and Security Affairs and
KEMITRAAN's capacities and resources to contribute to
the advancement of governance, particularly in the areas
of politics, law, and security."

At the same time KEMITRAAN is
pleased to note that it was chosen to lead
work on a new program supported by
USAID, namely the USAID INTEGRITAS
Project. This program is a five year
program valued at approximately USD 10
million. Through this program KEMITRAAN
will lead a consortium of partners including
Indonesia Corruption Watch, Transparency
International - Indonesia and the Swiss
based Basel Institute on Governance.
The key areas of focus in this program
will be on preventing corruption through
boosting civic engagement and promoting
integrity in public and private sectors. This
program seeks to strengthen the national
effort to fight corruption by advancing
progress on the critical issue of corruption
prevention.

Coalition, a 350 member alliance of
civil society organizations from across
100 nations of the world. KEMITRAAN
is the second Indonesian civil society
organization to be accepted. This Coalition
was established in 2006 a year after
the UN Convention against Corruption
(UNCAC) entered into force as an effort
globally by civil society to advance the
work of the Convention.
KEMITRAAN has also been chosen by
the International Foundation for Election
Systems, IFES, to support its regional anti-
corruption initiative. Through this project
KEMITRAAN will expand its network
of partners in other ASEAN countries
including the Philippines, Malaysia and
Vietnam. KEMITRAAN sees great value in
forging partnerships with organizations
in our region that work on a range of
governance reform related issues including
on integrity and countering corruption.
