II. Background Information * *
The Legal Empowerment and Assistance for the Disadvantaged (LEAD) Project is
a UNDP assisted Government of Indonesia (GoI) initiative that was developed
around the findings of an 18 months BAPPENAS/UNDP assessment of access to
justice in the Indonesian provinces of North Maluku, Maluku, Central
Sulawesi, Southeast Sulawesi and West Kalimantan.
Through a civil society, human rights and legal empowerment oriented grant
making facility, the overall aim of the LEAD project is to increase access
to justice, especially with regard to the most vulnerable and marginalized.
On the grassroots level, in the provinces of North Maluku, Central Sulawesi
and Southeast Sulawesi, the LEAD project seeks to raise legal and human
rights awareness and empower people and communities to demand realization
from responsible authorities. Further, the project seeks to strengthen Civil
Society Organisation (CSO) and community paralegal skills in order that the
vulnerable and marginalized can obtain legal assistance when in need.
Related to this, the LEAD project also supports the provision of pro-bono
legal services. On the macro level, the LEAD project supports national and
sub-national justice sector reform efforts dedicated to improving access to
justice. Further, a continuing analysis of the problems and progress that
the LEAD project and its partners make contributes to legal reform advocacy
and the development of a Government of Indonesia's National Access to
Justice Strategy.
In supporting its aims in raising legal and human rights awareness as well
as supporting GoI, LEAD project is commissioning the translation of the 2008
Asia-Pacific Human Development Report, *Tackling Corruption, Transforming
Lives *and the 2008 Commission on Legal Empowerment of the Poor Report, *Making
the Law Work for Everyone*. The National Roundtable Discussion on Legal
Empowerment of the Poor in Indonesia held during the launch of the CLEP
report at ASEAN Secretariat will also be transcribed.
*Asia Pacific Human Development Report (HDR)*
The HDR, titled *Tackling Corruption, Transforming Lives*, vividly*
*illustrates
how the Region's pervasive 'petty' corruption smothers opportunities for the
most vulnerable people and disadvantaged, limiting their access to education
and compromising basic health services. It also provides a snapshot of
innovative ways in which communities and governments are striving to fight
corruption, in areas including Indonesia.
In President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono's keynote speech at the launch of the
report, he instructed all government officials to read and study the report.
President SBY also called other state institution officials to read the
report.
*The Commission on Legal Empowerment of the Poor (CLEP) Report*
Meanwhile, the CLEP Report, titled *Making the Law Works for Everyone*,
finds that four billion people – the majority of the world's people – are
excluded from the rule of law. The report of the Commission - a group
co-chaired by former U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine K. Albright and
Peruvian economist Hernando de Soto - called on local governments,
international institutions and civil society to make legal empowerment a top
agenda item in the fight against global poverty.
LEAD Project intends to attract more interest from local stakeholders
towards the CLEP Report* *that will lead to further discussions about legal
empowerment of the poor in Indonesia. LEAD targets government institutions,
NGOs and CSOs, who work in poverty alleviation issues, as well as general
public.
III. Objectives of Assignment * *
- To make the 2008 Asia-Pacific HDR on Corruption and CLEP report more
accessible to the three LEAD Project targeted provinces stakeholders,
especially government officials and civil society organizations.
- To share experiences and knowledge discussed during the National
Roundtable Discussion on the Legal Empowerment of the Poor in Indonesia to
