Introduction:

AIPJ is designed to assist the Government of Indonesia in its justice
reform efforts. The focus of AIPJ is on working with national-level law
and justice institutions and agencies to transform the high-level
reform commitments made by Indonesia into concrete improvements in the
way the community interacts with the law and justice sector. AIPJ’s

services” through “strengthening ... Indonesia’s leading law and justice

efforts.
