This year the British Embassy is seeking to support projects in Indonesia that focus on the following priority areas:

  • Rights of minorities: protecting minority groups (including religion and sexual orientation) from discrimination and/or violence.
  • Alternatives to violence: promoting peaceful dispute resolution and reduced use of force in the security sector.

We are particularly interested in project proposals aiming towards the following outcomes:

  • Increased respect for and implementation of Indonesia’s international human rights commitments, including Indonesia’s UPR commitments.
  • Improved capacity of Civil Society Organisations to document human rights abuses safely and reliably in order to produce impactful reporting.
  • Local leaders are empowered to mediate community tensions peacefully, with a particular focus on the provinces of Papua and West Papua.
  • Improved security sector accountability ensures robust investigation of suspected violations of Standard Operating Procedures.

Bid guidance

  • Projects are funded for a single financial year running from 1st April 2018 to 31st March 2019, with no guarantee of continued funding beyond this period. Nevertheless we encourage bidders to include costed proposals for activities up to March 2020 where a 2 year programme is more appropriate.
