Supervisor/ Manager

Team Leader Corruption Prevention National Strategy for 2027–2028 Action Plan Development Program

Program Background

The Australia Indonesia Partnership for Justice Phase 3 (AIPJ3) is a five-year, A$63 million investment by the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) to work in partnership with the Government of Indonesia (GOI) to support advancement of its priority law and justice reforms. Building on previous phases, AIPJ3 will support partners to deliver activities against agreed policy priorities, while maintaining flexibility to respond to emerging needs and opportunities. The program focuses on seven policy priorities that are important to Australia and Indonesia: accountability and transparency, criminal justice reform, preventing violent extremism, transnational crime cooperation, commercial law, access to justice, and women’s leadership.

The National Strategy for Corruption Prevention (Strategi Nasional Pencegahan Korupsi – Stranas PK) is Indonesia’s national policy framework for corruption prevention, established under Presidential Regulation No. 54 of 2018. It serves as a key reference for ministries, agencies, regional governments, and other stakeholders in implementing preventive anti-corruption measures.

The Stranas PK is coordinated by a National Team consisting of five core institutions:

• Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK)
• Ministry of Home Affairs (Kemendagri)
• Ministry of Administrative and Bureaucratic Reform (KemenPANRB)
• Ministry of National Development Planning (Bappenas)
• Executive Office of the President (KSP)

The National Secretariat, hosted by KPK, is responsible for coordinating implementation through biennial Action Plans. As the current cycle (2025–2026) concludes, the Secretariat is preparing the next Corruption Prevention Action Plan for 2027–2028.

The Action Plan focuses on three key areas:

1. Licensing and Trade Governance
2. State Finance
3. Law Enforcement and Bureaucratic Reform
