The Australia Indonesia Partnership for Decentralisation (AIPD) aims to contribute to poverty reduction through improved local governance and service delivery. It will build on the successes of current support to eastern Indonesia, provided through the Australia Nusa Tengara Assistance for Regional Autonomy (ANTARA) program, which will conclude in 2010.
AIPD support will focus on strengthening public financial management at the provincial and district levels in Nusa Tenggara Timur, Nusa Tenggara Barat, Papua and West Papua. Taking a holistic approach to reform, assistance will be provided to civil society to actively engage in monitoring the use of public resources. Approaches will be tailored to the needs of each participating province. AIPD will also provide a platform for, and drive increased integration of, Australia’s broader package of support for decentralised governance and service delivery in Indonesia.
