Consultancy Notice – External Consultant for Indonesia Legislative Advocacy Toolkit Development
25/06/2024
APHR is looking for a consultant to draft a short, pedagogical, and engaging toolkit, approximately 15 pages in length, explaining the different steps in the legislative procedures in Indonesia. The toolkit will be presented as a practical and accessible tool for APHR’s staff and members, members of parliament in Indonesia and their staff, and key civil society partners.
The output will be published online, launched through APHR Members, Indonesian parliamentarians, the researcher, and members of civil society in Indonesia. The toolkit will be based on existing APHR’s research output.
In 2023, APHR has developed and launched the Malaysia Legislative Advocacy Toolkit: “A Toolkit on Advancing Human Rights through the Malaysian Legislative Process” in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, bringing together APHR members and civil society organizations to discuss legislative advocacy opportunities and strategies in Malaysia. The Toolkit is designed to provide civil society and the public with essential information for engaging with Malaysian parliamentarians in the country’s legislative process.
In 2024, Indonesia held its general election to determine the country’s leadership for the next five years and the newly elected members of the House of Representatives will begin their terms in October 2024. Building on this momentum, APHR is expanding its efforts with the development of the Indonesia Legislative Advocacy Toolkit this year.
This toolkit aims to support Indonesian civil society and the public in effectively advocating for human rights and democratic governance, ensuring that the new government is responsive and accountable to the public. The Toolkit is a key component of APHR’s broader initiatives to enhance the capacity of both civil society and parliamentarians in using their legislative powers to advance human rights and democratic principles.
The consultant will report to APHR’s Programs Coordinator for Democracy and Fundamental Freedoms who will provide him/her with all relevant background information and directions and will conduct reviews of the drafts.
