Program Background
The Indonesia Democratic Participation Program (Partisipasi) is an AUD30 million, 4.5-year investment by the Australian Government, running from early 2026 until June 2030. The program aims to support Indonesian state and non-state actors to strengthen substantive democracy in line with Indonesia’s Long-Term Development Plan, and objective 3 of the Australia–Indonesia Development Partnership Plan 2024–2028. Partisipasi has five focus areas: electoral integrity, parliamentary engagement, civic participation and education, independent and quality media, as well as countering mis/disinformation. It will support government-to-government partnerships with elections and parliamentary bodies (Component 1), as well as a civil society partnership (Component 2). Working at both the national level and in three subnational locations, it seeks to strengthen institutional resilience, civic actors and collaborative democratic action.
