Rule of Law Fund - Indonesia

The Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Jakarta has established The Indonesia-Netherlands Rule of Law Fund (“Rule of Law Fund”) for the purpose of enhancing synergy and cooperation within the law and justice sector in Indonesia, as well as to promote the regional legal order. The Rule of Law Fund builds upon the recommendations of the 2012 Dutch Evaluation of its bilateral Rule of Law Program in Indonesia and the findings of the Indonesia Netherlands Legal Update (INLU) in November 2014, and is in alignment with the Strategic Goals outlined in the 2013 Joint Declaration on a Comprehensive Partnership between Indonesia and the Netherlands, as well as the Embassy’s 2014-2017 Multi Annual Strategic Plan.

The International Development Law Organization (IDLO) is responsible for the management of the Rule of Law Fund, and for providing financing to Sub-Projects with the primary objective to support the development of effective, accountable and inclusive justice sector institutions, ensuring equal access to justice in Indonesia.
