IDXChannel - The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) has brought together civil society partners from 32 districts in six provinces of Indonesia to celebrate the successful tenure of the USAID-MADANI Civil Society Support Initiative.
USAID-MADANI, which concludes in February, has supported Indonesian civil society organizations (CSOs) in the provinces of Banten, Central Java, East Java, South Sulawesi, West Java, and West Kalimantan since 2019. The activity strengthened the management and sustainability of CSOs, helping to promote government accountability and communal tolerance.
“The United States, through USAID, supports Indonesia’s efforts toward accountable, transparent, and inclusive governance,” said USAID Indonesia Deputy Mission Director Erin Nicholson in a media release on Thursday (25/1/2024).
“I’m proud of our work together to strengthen the critical role of Indonesia’s civil society organizations to build a healthy, diverse, just, respectful, and tolerant democracy," Nicholson added.
Through this innovative program, USAID facilitated stronger partnerships between local governments, CSOs, and other partners by promoting the relationships, networks, and systems that make collaborative and engaged governance possible.
