At a time when the world is focused on Denmark regarding climate change talks, the same Denmark is focusing on fostering democracy through enhancing good governance in Indonesia.
Royal Danish Ambassador to Indonesia Borge Petersen on Tuesday announced a US$10 million Danish government grant for good governance programs in Indonesia.
During a ceremony held Tuesday at his residence in Jakarta, Ambassador Petersen signed separate agreements with representatives from the Transparency International Indonesia (TII), the Asia Foundation and the Kemitraan (Partnership for Governance Reform).
Money from this grant will also go to Semarang-based Jakarta Center for Law Enforcement Cooperation, an agency devoted to improving professional standards of law enforcement agencies in combating transnational crimes.
With the Danish government’s assistance, the TII will implement a project to improve good governance and reduce corruption. Meanwhile, Kemitraan will focus on a five-year program on leveraging and educating on accountable democracy.
