Background While the reform era has brought new opportunities
for Indonesia to develop a more equitable and transparent justice system, many key problems remain.

UNDP is committed to addressing Indonesia’s access to justice and justice sector reform challenges, as part of its broader focus on
support to Indonesian governance reform and poverty alleviation.

In cooperation with a wide range of partners, including government, non-governmental organizations and academia, an Access to Justice
project is currently underway, which will provide key knowledge, recommendations and support to both government bodies and community-level actors engaged in the justice system.

The project, currently in the assessment stage, will be followed by a period of intensive project design and piloting new approaches to promoting citizen’s access to justice.

A project of support to improve public access to information, increase public participation in the legislative process, and enhance transparency
within the Ministry of Justice is currently in its design phase.

UNDP Indonesia is seeking to recruit an Access to Justice and Justice Sector Reform Adviser on a part-time basis to undertake the following:
