SECURING DEMOCRATIC &
CIVIL RIGHTS
KEMITRAAN's Division of Democratic Justice
Governance & Regionalization welcomed Dr
Rifqi Assegaf as its new director during 2021. He
brings a wealth of experience working both within
Government and also with civil society.
The slow but steady threats to the basic
democratic, civil and even human rights of the
citizenry over the past decade that has been
outlined earlier in this report demand a vigorous
engagement by KEMITRAAN in these areas of
governance.
To advance democratic governance,
KEMITRAAN has sustained engagement with the
legislative branch of government to strengthen
inclusive policy making process through
constructive engagement between civic and
political actors. This has included working to
improve inter-party dialogue in the parliament
through Forum Inspirasi. It has also meant seeking
to improve the understanding of politicians (MP
candidates) of the importance of aligning political
ideology of political parties into political party
manifesto and individual political manifesto as well
as strengthening the capacity of parliamentary
faction experts on policy and budget analysis.
KEMITRAAN has continued to work closely
with law enforcement agencies especially the
KPK and the Office of the Attorney General, AGO.
A key area of focus has been on strengthening
the Asset Recovery Office in the AGO through
improvement of guidelines on asset recovery and
expansion of structure that reflect the emerging
challenge on asset recovery.
At the same time KEMITRFAAN has been
working to Improve the understanding of
personnel in relevant law enforcement agencies
on electronic evidence and its handling for law
enforcement purpose. This has also involved
working with law enforcement agencies to Identify
gaps between existing national and international
legal framework on electronic evidence. In
addition, KEMITRAAN has worked with law
enforcement agencies to improve inter-agency
coordination through the establishment of digital
hub on Asset Recovery.
Programmatically there were also important
transitions with the conclusion of the Human
40
| KEMITRAAN Annual Report 2021
Rights Defenders Program which was supported
by the Government of the Netherlands. The DFAT-
supported Bridge Initiative is also to progressing
towards its conclusion, while the IDLO-led SIAGA-
ECO program is set to conclude during the next
year.
In addition to the conclusion of some
programs during 2021 there were also important
new initiatives that commenced. All of these
changes were managed in an atmosphere
impacted by the COVID-19 management
restrictions including direct collegial contact.
While modern communication technologies are
extremely valuable and well deployed, nothing
can replace, certainly at initial stages of team
integration, direct engagement at the work place.
This has impacted on the ease of building a
solid team focus integrated into the wider work
environment of KEMITRAAN. With expectations
that COVID-19 will become endemic rather than a
pandemic in the next year, we are looking forward
to building a solid and well-integrated team able
to engage across and mutually supporting the
whole portfolio of KEMITRAAN.
